Hmmm. No, it's not overloading the generators. It's the portable Surge Guard that I plugged in between the generators and the coach that trips when the compressor tries to start. If I take the Surge Guard out of the loop, then the compressor starts fine and the generators barely lug for a...

I just bought a pair of Yamaha 2000 inverter generators. Great machines. I liked the fuel guage and fuel shut-off switch and a tad cheaper than Honda's. I got the Sidewinder cable so I can run them parallel. Have a pig-tail to convert from the 30 amp output cord to the 50 amp coach supply...

We were thinking of coming to watch our SF Giants. Any recommended RV parks?

Still a newbie. My BC has two 12V batteries. One is in a corner of the front center storage compartment. The other is in the right front compartment beneath the hydraulic system. They are each in a separate plastic case enclosure with their own separate hoses venting to the outside. I...

Re: Looking for computer base software - previously used Delorme street atlas - not a fan of Garmin Even better: there is an app for iPhone, iPad, iTouch called Allstays Camp & RV. I think it is like $4.99, but worth every penny. It is consistently rated 5* by users. I'm not sure what...

Re: ATF: Big Country - Genesis 2 Sound system Oh, oh. I just looked at the photos of the 3650. Your cabinetry is different. Unless you can find a way to remove the adjoining cabinet side, I don't see how you are going to get access. I sure wouldn't want to take a hole saw to brand new...

Re: ATF: Big Country - Genesis 2 Sound system I have a BC 2950 with the same sound system. Our entertainment center is in the center of the coach with the Genesis on the left side of the lower part. All of the wires are, indeed, plugged into the right side towards the rear of it. I wanted to...

We have a 2012 2950rk. Bought in June off the lot. Believe the build date was February. It has the fridge in the slide. Apparently BC changed up the floor plan mid-model year. I know that for a while the Heartland website had both floorplans up; I think they designated the new one with an "F"...

I think your agent is blowing smoke! Ask him to point out where in your policy exactly does it say that. It doesn't make sense. You're supposed to drag your rig around when you go anywhere? Shopping? Take the kids to school? Out for dinner? Church? I don't think so. I dare say that most...

On our first outing in our BC 2950, I managed to get too close to a tree branch in a parking lot. It rubbed against the edge of the roof (door side) about half-way back. Didn't look like serious damage. About a 4-5 long "wrinkle" in the rolled edge, a tweak in the angle of the gusset (or...

I think you'll find †hose red,white yellow (RCA) cables are the input from your DVD player's out jacks. But if you are watching over the air or cable on the TV the audio and video input is via the coax cable. It does not feed into your sound system at all. So you are stuck with audio over the...

Yep. I have a 2012 Big Country. Has a Genesis sound system ("surround sound" w/ 4 speakers)radio/CD/DVD. Toshiba TV. Couldn't hear the TV. Even with the volume all the way up, just a tinny cheapo sound. Hmmmm. Wait! Only little speaker on TV is working. Turns out Heartland doesn't...

Trick learned from plumbing contractors: Never use bar use. Only liquid body wash. Bar soaps contain paraffin, oils and other waxy products that cause scum build up. Also quick squeegee of the glass. If you have problem with hard water spots, RainX helps. If you have hard water spots on...

We have a 2012 2950rk. There are some odd placements of light switches that should be reconsidered: 1) Amber light for the exterior step. The switch is placed low, near the floor. Makes sense, I guess, if the thought was that you could turn it on from outside before mounting the steps. But...
