    Cracking and frame issues in Gateway

    Hello, we have been full-time in our Gateway 3650BH for 3.5 years. It was a great unit until recently. The frame has started separating in several areas, there is a large crack in the sidewall going into the bunkhouse, another crack starting on the opposite side, and the wheels are sticking out...

    Mail Boxes

    It looks like you've already received many great options, but I'll just let you know about one more. We use St. Brendans Isle which is also based in Florida. We were already Florida residents before going full time and they made it very easy. https://www.sbimailservice.com

    Gateway 3660 TB or 3560

    We love our 3650BH! We have 2 kids, ages 12 and 10 and we travel fulltime, so it was important to me for the kids to have their own room and for my husband and me to have our own room. Like someone else said, the king size bed takes up the whole room, so if you don't mind a queen, I might go...

    ATF: Gateway - CRACK IN FIBERGLASS

    We also just had a stress crack repaired on our Gateway. We travel fulltime and were concerned with how to get this taken care of while on the road. We had plans to return to our hometown in FL for the holidays and since we would be staying with family we could be out of the RV for awhile. We...

    What is this switch for?

    Hello, the switch just above the slide switch, is that the Yeti thing that heats the under belly? It's not labeled. It's supposed to get in the 20s here the next couple of nights. Should we have that turned on? Also, we'll be out of our rig for over a week while we spend time with family for...

    Quality of Heartland 5th wheels for fulltiming?

    We are full timing with 2 kids in a Gateway 3650bh. We have only had a few items that needed to be repaired under warranty, but like you said, since we live in it we didn't want to leave it at a dealer while we pay for a hotel. We called Heartland and told them we are full timing. We also travel...

    Thank you Heartland!

    Hello, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this post. Feel free to move it if it's not. At the beginning of this year my husband and I and our 2 kids moved into our Heartland Gateway 3650BH to travel the country full-time. So far, it has been the adventure of a lifetime. I just...

    Gateway 3650BH - what is this switch for?

    Hello, does anyone know what the Awning/Recept switch is for? In the picture it's the one in the upper left corner. The Awning Retract/Extend is used to put the awning out and in, but we can't figure out what this other Awning/Recept is for. Thanks!

    How does Heartland compare with other models...reading lots of bad reviews, but...

    We have a Gateway 3650bh and love it! We are full timing in it with kids and travel about every week. We've only had it for a little over 2 months now but so far so good. After delivery we had some minor issues that the dealer took care of. Now we have a couple more minor issues but aren't quite...

    Question about tires

    Hello, we just ordered a new 3650bh and we're very excited! I'm a little concerned though about what kind of tires are coming with it. Are they still putting towmax on these? I've heard horrible things about the blowouts some have experienced. Are we going to need to replace the tires as soon as...
