    Hey folks!......It's finally here! my Heartland Big Horn 3585RL - UK

    Mmm, I isolated the bedroom circuit, via the breaker, changed 4 sockets and got electrocuted 3 times! I don't think this is going to be as easy as I thought, will need to test every socket now, before I switch that breaker from the 120v to 240v, to make sure I don't fry any appliances. And to...

    Hey folks!......It's finally here! my Heartland Big Horn 3585RL - UK

    Thank you all for your congrats, doesn't seem enough hours in the day to complete the conversion to 240VAC, but managed to 'plumb in' the transformer, and just run a live feed to the 110v panel, so we celebrated with a drink and a dvd and spent the first night in it last night -4c but very...

    Hey folks!......It's finally here! my Heartland Big Horn 3585RL - UK

    IT'S HERE! The Big Horn has landed in the UK and is now secure and awaiting the conversion tomorrow. A slight worry when our importer called to say the measurements supplied by Heartland for shipping were under, and there would be more to pay before it would be released, as the shipping is...

    TomTom is the way to GoGo

    I don't know if your Tom Tom systems are the same in the States, as they are over here (Europe) but we can download various things, like POI's, including road weight limits, low bridges, tunnels etc by using Tom Tom Home on the PC or Laptop! I don't know if you can set the device to avoid them...

    Thinking of a vacation in the UK?

    Hi Mike and Connie, there are many hotels within central London and can suit any budget, from about £50 per night. being based in London and travelling out from there is probably better than staying outside the City and travelling in! and to be honest it's not much cheaper than in the City. But...

    Thinking of a vacation in the UK?

    If anyone is thinking of a vacation to the UK in the future and need some advice or information relating to anything 'British', please let me know, and perhaps I could do some 'local' research, and offer friendly advice to make your trip more pleasurable. I don't like the way many in this...

    UK Insurance Companies....Mmmm

    Thanks Larry, Camtons were the first call I made, and unless I got a trainee on the line who didn't understand what I was talking about, they couldn't give me cover for a trailer if I was living in it! But will try them again tomorrow!

    Towing Electrics US - UK

    Unfortunately John, the US blade type plug and the round pin is not compatible with either of the the UK type sockets (domestic 12v & commercial 24v) Fortunately our specialist rigs have both types of sockets running both 12v & 24v. Our commercial 12v sockets run the electric brakes though the...

    Towing Electrics US - UK

    Awww come on Sunflower, that's not a challenge is it!?? lol. An easier and cheaper solution would be to fit a trailer board (and I will be taking one). But I like to do things the hard way, then if at first you don't succeed, give up!! :)

    Towing Electrics US - UK

    A little problems solving for any budding auto electricians out there. I am due to import a 2011 HL BH3585RL. when it arrives at the port I will be collecting it, and towing back to home, on a British truck (rig). Our rigs are fitted with 12v Sockets, so voltage not an issue, the US tow...
