Thanks for the info, Tom. I have really liked the FL design since I saw the first one back in '05 or '06. It was only made for about two years and it never caught on well. I think it was because the pin weight was so high with two slides in the front overhang. Then it seems like about two or...

Don, They do exist. Take a look at the Redwood RW38FL or the Crossroads Lincoln RF39LN. In the Redwood you could probably swap out the couch for two recliners. I am not trying to drive anyone away from Heartland but perhaps the Heartland designers could get some ideas from these.

I have been following the "Crowded Camper" page on Facebook for several months. Their adventures are always entertaining. Becky's blog is also outstanding. She is an excellent writer and her posts will make you smile and laugh and sometimes bring tears to your eyes. This shooting thing...

Mizmary, who is your grandpa? I was born and raised in Caldwell; high school class of 1956. Left Caldwell in '58 to work in Seattle, ended up in the army, retired in VA. Was in Nampa three weeks ago due to the passing of my sister who was a long time resident of Nampa and raised her family...

Just press on the end and slide it one way or the other and the end you press on will lift out of the hole. The manual says to slide them to the rear but the first one I tried to remove wouldn't slide to the rear so I slid it forward and that worked. After getting it out and looking at it, it...

This may give you some ideas. Note the "optional patio" on several of the floor plans. I saw one of these at an RV show last year and it looked very interesting: Optional patio. Here is a video: Patio video: The model in the video has a small garage at the rear for a golf cart or a motor...

Has anyone else seen this announcement about the New Lippert control system? Here's a link: http://tinyurl.com/8ql437g Wonder if Heartland is one of the three manufacturers that are going to preview the system at the National RV Show, Nov 26-29 in Louisville, KY?

There are no Discount Tire stores in VA. I checked a few days ago. Might be some in NC.

Jim and Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad I got to meet Ruby last summer when you were in Williamsburg. She was a little sweetie. I know how much this hurts; I still remember when I lost my yorkie and that was five years ago. May the peace of God comfort you in this time of sadness.

They used to do those at Dually Depot in Elkhart. I would imagine they still do.

Just finished installing my Butch's Services 5th Wheel Latch Kit. Was not difficult, took about an hour. The thing to be careful about installing it on a B & W Companion is to make sure you locate the bolt holes equally spaced on either side of the vertical support web that is welded to the...

JohnDar, I too have a Ruger LCP that I got last June (2011) and I try to go to the range twice a month (1st & 15th are "free" days at my local range for active and retired military and LE) and I usually shoot 30-50 rounds with the LCP and my XD-9 sub-compact. I have never had an FTE with either...
