About 200 miles on our journey, just Austin, TX we felt what seemed like a...

    Towing BC with Ford 6.2 or 6.7

    Here's my "two-cents worth" - We've been Ford Lovers forever, but all my experienced trucker friends told me that there is no better rig than the dodge turbo diesel rig. My dad loved Chrysler products and i hated them. We drove the Ford dually and really liked it. We looked at and then drove...

    BC 3250TS Specs?

    Hi Colleen, We have a 2009 Big Country 3250TS and I park it in our rear driveway. We live in the middle of the block, so maneuvering that rig into our rear-driveway can be an exercise in frustration. Our driveway slopes down toward the alley. The actual length of our trailer is just under 35...

    ATF: Big Country - 3250TS - Right rear tandem tire blow-out damage

    We had a blowout on our right rear tandem tire recently on a trip home from a camping week in Arkansas. Our Dodge 3500 performed great and our trailer remained in full control as we pulled off the freeway and took the first exit to a safe location to arrange for Emergency Road Service. I got...

    Big Country 2008 3250TS - Sofa Bed - 2 problems

    We never had occasion to use our sofa bed until recently. There are two issues with it. (1) It leaks air. (2) the bed "folds-up" on those who are trying to sleep on it. There are no instructions for use, but the frame does not LOCK when pulled out of the sofa. The electric air pump works...

    2007 3250TS Front Landing Jack Failure

    Hi Tom & Patti, I don't want to portray myself as a crybaby or blowhard griping for fun. The plain and simple truth is my wife and I love our Big Country 3250TS. This is our 3rd RV and think we made a great choice for the price range we could afford. Heartland's people have been great to us...

    3250 ts Flooring concern

    Within a few months of purchase of our 3250TS, my wife noticed the flooring was not glued in the area in front of the kitchen sink and along the front of the stove and refrigerator. Home Depot provided an inexpensive solution. I would have taken our unit to the dealer, but our experience has...

    3250TS (2009 model) - Closet Door locking hardware

    When we took possession of our new 3250TS Big Country, we didn't notice that one of our closet doors is missing the plastic piece that locks them closed when travelling. Any idea what we have to do to obtain a replacement? It's the one on my wife's side of the closet, so you DO understand that...

    3250ts ac

    Hi Waterboy1 ... We have a 2009 Big Country 3250TS and we live in the Dallas, Texas area. Needless to say, our summers are hard on A/C units. Your experience matched my own. When we camped in an area without tree cover the single A/C simply can't do the job. I had ours checked and it was...

    2007 3250TS Front Landing Jack Failure

    Larry & Samantha ... I'd like to send a "thank you" for directing me to the thread about the problems others have had with their front landing jacks and the solutions others have found. I just ordered the parts to fix mine. I'm more than a little peeved about the poor quality of the original...

    Hi, Our Heartand Big Country 3250TS has only been used a few times. Yesterday at Gilham lake in Arkansas, it was time to load up and go home. It was then that I discovered our "Extend" switch engaged the motor but nothing happened. After opening the hatch and making sure there were no...

    Replacement Amber / Red Running lamp bulbs

    We have a 2008 3250TS and we're about to go from Dallas to Corpus Christi for Thanksgiving vacation. Is there a listing for all the replacement lamps for our 5th wheel by part number? I'd like to keep spares on hand. One of the red running lamps at the back top of our trailer needs replaced.

    BC 3250TS - Outside Speakers

    Hi, We just tried to use our outside speakers for the first time. Horrid sound quality. Either damaged or defective, or improperly installed. I checked to see if they were just loose, but that did not help. They both are defective. Will Jensen stand behind them?
