If you really want to know what your actual usage is going to be, you can not use weight as a valid measurement. You need to use the BTU output/Consumption. This applies to any appliance that uses propane. Here is how you do that. These assumptions are calculated based on a 60 degree f day...

Painted caps? Your kidding right? I was told by the dealer it was a gel coat. This was another feature that made the BC a more desired coach to us. Can someone please validate this? Thanks

This was my thought in installing it. This option give the coach a custom look. I also noticed less of a formaldehyde smell in this particular coach. I have my eye on some T&G cedar from a local mill and may get going on this project. I will update with pictures if i do it.

My wife said the same thing about leaving it closed more often Actually I was reading a little about the fridge. A gal had mentioned that the flap between the fridge doors does not close all the way and that could be a source of an air leak. Sure enough, that was our problem. A slight little...

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect to get something for nothing. If the production line changed the tire set up and the G range are an option, I would pay the difference, had I known. No big deal. Since I had to replace a entire kitchen due to a faulty tire on on of the coaches we had, I am a...

Nicely done. We may be able to make it next year depending on where it is. Thanks for sharing.

While looking at our rig, we saw a Big Country with dear lined closets. Does Heartland sell this as an option for us to install in our 350rl? My wife really liked that cedar lined closet so I was thinking of installing it as an option for her. Thanks

I love this new beast of a fridge. Does anyone have an idea on how to control the amount of condensation builds up inside the unit? We had the smaller two door unit and the little fan with charcoal bag worked great, but is not working so great. The pan and drain is doing it's job, but we are...

I am asking this as I went from a 4 seasons Forest River and now am not so sure that this rig is really a 4 seasons rig. These are my questions: 1) Are the holding tanks heated? 2) Is the underbelly insulated, if so, is there an "R" value? 3) Are there any water supply lines that run under the...

This was one the reasons why I bought the 3650rl, and looking at my brochure, it clearly states load range "G". Looking at my tires, they are load range "E". This really upsets me as I am right at the load rating of these tires and still have stuff to load. I am wondering how many of these...

This dealer was on our short list. But, it was a bit of a drive and the 3650 was on hold for financing or something? We absolutely love the floorplan on this rig. From a newbie as well, welcome.

The dealer installed a second battery for us in our 3650. They installed it in the "gen compartment'. They put it in a vented battery box like the factory one and installed the outside vent cover right next to the factory one. The battery sits on the curbside of the compartment, or the left...

Exactly what we need it for. No cell phone service where we live and where our rig is. There is dial tone and DSL though :eek:

The lighting in the 3650rl is what sold us with 5 or 6 other things with the BC. My only gripe with the lighting is that all of the lighting is 12V except for the light in the ceiling fan. Not sure of the differences between our coaches, but this rig has the best lighting over the last 3 we...

Thanks guys. I wish there was an inside switch. My nearest neighbor is about 1/2 mile away so we use it everynight. I am going to try and wire in a wall mounted switch and see what happens.
