    Re: Heartland Server Problems I am still having a problem also. Says the server is busy... This forum is the first place I go to read and see what others are doing. It is disapointing that it is still having the same problem. I am on a number of other forums and none of them are having a...

    What Food??

    My vet said not to use canned food and stay from food like Kibble & Bits. The soft parts of Kibble & Bits have a tendency to stick in their teeth as well as the can food. Dry food is preferred. Also he said to brush the small dogs teeth once a week. If not they have a tendency to cause...

    Repairing the slides on my Bighorn.

    Well the majority of the cost is labor and they charge $65/hr. It took three days. 2 days on the big slide and one on the small one. 24hrs +- @ $65 = $1560 + the cost of the 1/8" aluminum sheet metal. If your problem is like mine you do not have to remove the slide. They didn't here. They said...

    Repairing the slides on my Bighorn.

    I am at Pipe creek Texas getting my living room slides repaired. Over the years I have had a leak that is rotting out the edges of the big slide. Tried to stop it but didn't get it done. A friend helped me work on the front edge of the big slide last year or so and I worked on the rear of the...

    Bicycle carrier for 5th wheel ??

    I don't know if your Sundance has a Trailair pinbox you have a good start for a bike rack mount. If you don't have a Trailair you can make modifications to adjust the distance. Also if you have a short bed truck you could have a bit of a clearance problem. Check it out before you get started...

    Need to organize my 'basement'

    I know I am different.. But I don't want to pick up large containers. So I have a small amount of things in the stackable milk crates. I can lift them out easily, move them around and they are not loaded heavyly. Went to a Kroger store and asked the manager about the cartons that were in the...

    Has anybody replaced the Dinette with Recliners?

    Rather than put in chairs we replaced our dinnette with a cabinet to hold our portable ice maker and cover our 5cu ft freezer.. We felt this would give us more service than anything else.. This is what we do.. BC

    Recliner chairs;

    What I am going to say will not make you happy but this is the way I believe how things work out. I have made a lot of modifications to my trailer. The same day I picked up the trailer I took it to Discount Tire and had all 5 tires replaced with XPS Ribs. I didn't want to have one blow out and...

    If it wasn't so crazy it would almost be funny

    I got rid of my Interstate battery. Always had a problem with them. I went to Sams Club and bought a deep charge gel battery. I doesn't need to be checked for water and they seem to last a long time. They are expensive though.. $155.00 is what they cost me in 2010...

    Hello everyone!

    When you get your trailer you will find a wall inside the basement that when one part is removed you can see back into the trailer. We stay in the Dallas area from Nov thru February and the temp can get down to the mid 20's or more. I take a couple of the Reflector Clamp Light, from Walmart. Put...

    Hard wired surge protector on 2013 cyclone 3010

    When you go to install the surge suppressor, I would strongly suggest that you do not cut your existing cable to the shore power. Disconnect it from the TS and use some new conductor. You can use 4 seperate conductors or use a 4 conductor cable. Seperate conductor will always run cooler. If you...

    Straps holding black and grey tanks...

    I don't think the straps should be loose. If so what is supporting the tank when it is empty?? Something has to support the empty tank weight. I would definitely adjust the straps, and/or call Heartland and get their advice... FWIW BC

    Are they now putting in 3 A/C's?

    I have read a number of posts about having A/C's put into the new trailers.. Some are talking about having 3 A/C's. That should keep it cool in the summer if you're in Texas.. I have seen 3 A/C's in some of the upscale MH's but few in trailers. How many are looking for this? What would this...
