I am really not sure until I purchase the hitch and see. I've looked underneath and notice how the bumper has a small square piece attached to frame, so I was looking at hitch photos and was thinking it would fit right adjacent to the bumper piece as it ends on frame. But, will not know for...

Bones, http://www.rvkayakrack.com This is the product I am interested in using. I am really not sure of any other way to haul kayaks. Unless you have idea. The etrailer product I sent was what kayaK rack rep said I should look into. When I looked underneath, it seems you can mount that hitch...

Thank you for your awesome and thorough response! That makes absolutely no sense for a company to have a bracket built in and then tell you not to use it. First, I went and rechecked the frame measurement and I do have a 12 inch I beam frame. Second, my unit turns 2 years old in November...

Hey, I am interested in adding a 2" receiver hitch to the frame of my GW 3650BH. Not to the bumper but actual rear frame. I want to add a cargo carrier to the rear for things like coolers and possibly a vertical kayak rack in the future. But, it has been mentioned on here that it possibly...

Hello, Anyone familiar with the roads of North Florida and South Georgia? I make a trip several times per year from Valdosta area to St. George Island. I've always used same route: Quitman to Monticello....Monticello to Wakeenah to Wacissa hWY 259.....then hwy 59 to 98 and on to island...

I am confused as well. I have a Gateway 3650BH. On my control panel, I have a water heater switch for 9 volt, a water heater switch for 120 volt. I know the 9 volt is for the propane water heat, and the 120 volt is for the electric water heat. But, on the far left of the panel I have 3...

I'm only on my 2nd trip....which heater switch do i need to turn on the 120v or the 12 v? I'm hooked up to shore power!!

Thanks for the diagram and the information. I will not be able to check things out until Wednesday do to working late, but I will keep you posted. So here is what I'm reading of things I need to do: Connect the towing power cord to my truck and unhook the regular shore power cord. Flip the...

Yes, I am referring to the 22 cu ft. residential refrigerator. This is our first RV so please be patient with me. Define shore power. What is the white switch used for that is above the main switch panel that controls all? What does the cord in under storage need to be plugged into? Our...

I do have one question as you read our post. Our rig came with the stainless steel commercial refrigerator and power invertor/convertor. There is a white switch above the instrument panel by the front door, which I assume turns the invertor/convertor on. In the forward storage area where the box...

Hello, This post is long overdue! Actually several months overdue! Thanks to all that gave us input and suggestions in previous posts. We purchased a Gateway 3650 BH back in November from Camping World in Tallahassee. We are very pleased so far! One lesson I have learned: do not take delivery...

Well, I am one step closer to owning a 5th wheel. Thank you to everyone who replied to this thread. I appreciate all the helpful insight. My decision ultimately came down to versatility. I had my Ford dealer install the 5th wheel prep package on my F-250 with the B&W Companion Ford OEM hitch...

Just curious, Will either fit with existing low profile front of bed tool box? Or, will I need to remove the tool box to tow?

I have searched for some honest opinions for a 5th wheel hitch on the forum. I have read a few, but figured I would start a quick thread to see what everyone thinks... Very close to finalizing a deal on a Heartland Gateway 3650BH. My TV is a F-250 SRW 6.7 Diesel Short Bed. I need to get a fifth...

Hey, We are interested in purchasing a Bighorn Silverado Edition SV36TB Marquis. When looking at online dealerships, some have Bighorn graphics on the exterior and some have Silverado graphics. Is there a difference?
