    Yes, I ordered a few items from them last fall. No problems at all. I was satisfied with all of the items I ordered. Their communications via email was good and I don't remember any problems with shipping. I would order from them again. Don

    Rv lock "beep" died

    We recently had the same problem. The beep became intermittent for a while and then died entirely. After waiting about 3 weeks to be sure it wouldn't cure itself, I sent an email to RV Lock. They responded quickly and sent a board. I changed it out and the problem did not go away. Another email...

    Another Blowmax victim

    We recently upgraded the tires on our 2014 Gateway to the Sailun G rated tires. We did get one full year of use from the Towmax tires with no problems, but you all have scared me. Going up from an E rated tire to a G rated tire alone should have helped and Sailun has a much better quality...

    so impressed with new gateway!!!

    Hey Marcus, It's good to hear that you are doing fine. I'm also glad to hear that you got 20k miles on the original tires. We are in Alamo Texas. We left Minnesota November 3rd and won't be back there until May. The coldest we have seen is 18 degrees one night in Arkansas. We will be heading...

    2014-Q3 - Heartland Highlights Club Newsletter

    It did download. It is a large file, nearly 70MB. It is 46 pages with a lot of photos and graphics. My internet connection is slow and it seemed to take forever to download. I have read a lot of it and it was worth the time to download. Don

    Moveable island casters

    Hi jimpav, I have not considered replacing the casters on the moveable island. I was concerned about dents in the floor and we place carpet scraps under the casters. I lift each end of the island and my wife slides the carpet under the casters. If I needed to replace the casters, I would...

    Gateway 3200rs

    Hi John & Rana, Our 2014 Gateway 3200rs came with a flat topped island. We looked at a 2013 and it had the stepped countertop. Without any experience with the stepped style, we like the flat version that we have. I talked to our dealer about the difference and he said that people who liked to...

    Gateway 3200rs

    Hi mgambill48 We have the 3200rs and really like it. We have only taken one short trip in it but plan to spend next winter in it. We did get the auto leveling system and really like it. Setting up is much easier and the rear of the trailer is really solid. The front will still bounce around...

    so impressed with new gateway!!!

    Hi Marcus, It's good to hear from you. I'm sure you will enjoy the new truck. This last set of tires I put on ours were Toyo Open Country H/T Tuff Duty. They claim they are made for diesel pickups pulling heavy loads. I've got a couple of thousand miles on them and I'm happy so far. I'm leery...

    Magnetic Holdbacks on Exterior Doors

    Hi Ken, I have a 2014 Gateway 3200RS. The exterior door on the door side of the camper opens vertically and has the magnetic catch. The one on the off-door side opens right to left and there is no catch in the open position. With any wind at all you cannot leave it open. I believe you have the...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: MN, Two Harbors - 9/11/2014 to 9/14/2014

    Hi Tom and Kathy, We spent April traveling in our 05 Jayco, primarily in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. Along the way we shopped for a new camper. We don't plan to full time but do plan to become snowbirds next winter and spend 5 or six months camping. That's why we wanted a new camper. We found...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: MN, Two Harbors - 9/11/2014 to 9/14/2014

    I just got off the phone making reservations with Oden. This will be our first Heartland Rally. Our Gateway is about 1 month old so we are still adding and fixing. We are not yet members of the Heartland Owners Club but we will be before the Rally. We are looking forward to the experience and...

    so impressed with new gateway!!!

    Hey Marcus, Congratulations on the new truck. Now maybe Mike can get one too. I'm sure you will enjoy the one ton dually. I'm probably pushing the 3/4 ton, but it handles this trailer very well. I did put the best tires I could find on the truck. I forgot to mention that the shear pin for the...
