I know I haven't posted in awhile, been busy and just haven't had much to say. I am glad the rally is back on track and am in process of working out the details with the wife. Anyway early june sounds good to us, hope we can make it. Rick & Sandi TIN CAN TOURISTS)

I am using the trail-aire pinbox that came with my Golden Gate and I love it. It really takes the chucking out of the ride. I will still get some movement every once in a while but for the most part it does a great job. Rick & Sandi (TIN CAN TOURISTS)

Hey jim I read your post about what you store in the storage area and was wondering if you had tried using an adapter, where you can run your gas grill from your RV tanks. I have one and it works like a charm. Saves a little on weight and storage. Rick & Sandi (TIN CAN TOURISTS)

Hey Dusty I just traded in an F-250(2000). I bought it used and it came with a jake brake,air bags, and 20k reese hitch. The jake brake worked great. Iwould of kept the truck but I felt my Golden Gate was just a little bit too much for it. Inow have a Chevy (the beast) 3500, dulley, 6.6...

Hey Chuck nice rig. The only advice I have is to get a 50 amp line or 30 (I ran a 50). In the mean time make sure you have an heavy-duty or extra heavy duty extension to run from house outlet 15 amp. If not check your extension cord to make sure it is not overheating. Running things without the...

Be Careful :o For a little bit more money go ahead and run the fifty amp line. That is what the trailer is made for. True you can run one of the Ac's plus some of the other stuff keeping in mind how many amps you are pulling. Also just because it works on 30 amp doesn't mean you aren't...

:D Just pulled in the driveway about 45 min's ago after watching our grandsons team win their first two games this week. If they win two or three more they will be in the final game for the title. We had to come back early due to work.(Don't ya just hate it when work interfers with whats really...

Well fellow travelers my wife and I are heading to Auburn Al. for the Dixie Youth Baseball World Series for the 11-12 age bracket. Our grandson is playing on the team representing the state of fla. We are very proud. Anyway we finally picked up our coach from the dealers today and are really...

Rickeveritt :D Which dealer are you refering to? Holiday on Wheels in Panama City or the one in Ga. How soon were you planning on buying. The reason I ask this is my wife and I are going out of town until the 11th or 12th. We will be leaving tommorow (sun). I would be happy to enlighten you...

:p Like everyone else I was wondering what happened to the rally. Would love to go and meet some of the folks that post on the forum. My wife and I are open to go just about anywhere except to the westcoast.(until we retire that is)Anyway it still sounds like a great idea to have one. Rick &...

:D Well need to talk to better half and get the ok, but June of 06 gives us plenty of time to plan. Sounds like a good time. Rick & Sandi (TIN CAN TOURISTS)

:) Sounds good to me, hope it is somewhere in between Fla and Ill. Rick & Sandi (TIN CAN TOURISTS)

Bummed :mad: Man I was upset when I returned from camping this past weekend to find out that the forum was offline. I learned a whole lot about Heartland RV's on this website and continue to use it as an informational tool not to mention the great posts and jawing with other Heartland owners...

Good Trip :D Well my wife and I finally pulled into our house at about 9:30AM this morning. The trip went well and the coach did great. I really love the trailaire hitch, It made for a very smooth ride. Anyone who has pulled a 5er without one can tell you about the jerking backwards and fowards...

:D Its The weekend at last. After a rough week at work following the arrival and departure of Dennis the menace my wife and I finally get to take our Golden Gate out for the weekend. I will be towing it only an hour or so away from the house but should still get an idea how she will do on a...
