    Major Manufacturing Defects on New 2013 Big Horn - PLEASE HELP!!!

    Well, you are correct about everything being purchased from vendors and not manufactured in house. Yes, the quality starts way before Heartland begins their process. It is very upsetting for things to happen with a new coach.....By the way, I went back with Towmax tires. I feel they are as good...

    Towmax tire blow outs, Heartland may want your tire

    Thanks everyone for the info. I did fine a Towmax dealer within 100 miles of home. He stated he sells hundreds of these tires and only knows of two failures. I did replace with the original Towmax tire at this time. I believe I will invest with a tire monitor system. Sajo

    Strange Happenings with Hydraulic's

    Just an update. Had our unit in the shop for almost two weeks and they did replace a valve that controls the bedroom slide which is the first one that extends with the controls. I understand to check the valves on whichever slide that is first to extend on your coach by design. Just got it back...

    Strange Happenings with Hydraulic's

    Thanks for the link. I will follow up on this. I would hate to be one the interstate and look in the mirrors and find the slides out!

    Strange Happenings with Hydraulic's

    Thanks, I will look at closing off the valve and see if that helps. Last spring after a cold snap I was hooking up and had the slides in. As I was backing the truck under the 5 the wheel and using the remote to lift the coach the bedroom slide came out. That has only happened once. I don't know.....

    Dodge RAM 2500 - 3500 Factory Steering Recall - 1 Million Trucks?

    You would think Dodge would have the supplies available for the repairs. I made contact Jan.6 and was told to call back Feb. 6. We are back on the road in March so I surely don't want to wait 14 weeks! Towing 7 tons, I don't want anything to break.

    Good Morning All We put our 2013 Big Country 3650 in the RV barn here at home the 1st week of Dec. Twice I have found the bedroom slide out, first time about 3" and yesterday almost a foot. Also, the front jacks had lowered the coach about 6" from the setting when I "let it rest" for the winter...

    Help required on. rear end axle ratio choice

Here in the south (Al) seldom do I use tow mode unless in town and need the exhaust brake. We did go to Oklahoma last spring and used...
