I seem to recall a few folks posting about water getting into the slide floor on the early Bighorns, but not recently. You might be able to search for “slide floor” and see some previous posts. I’m in Cisco, so familiar with Abilene. I can also recommend the West Texas Chapter Dealer Sponsor...

Yes that’s the route we’ve gone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We’ve stayed at Cabin RV park in Big Cabin, OK; Stanton/Meremec KOA in Sullivan, MO; Springfield/Route 66 KOA in Springfield MO; Camp Lakewood in Effingham, IL; Terre Haute KOA in Terre Haute, IN. Not all on the same trip but these give you some recommended places along your route there...

I don’t own it, but this was one someone had installed so I saved it in my favorites on Amazon. Note the drawing showing the dimensions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We have been living in a 2016 Big Country since it was new. Not your model, but here are a few issues we have had: the rear AC capacitor went out at about 14 mo old, had it replaced, no problems since. But I have always felt like the AC system doesn’t cool as well as it should, for temps over 90...

Looks great!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, as we all know, sometimes you change your mind. ;) After recently installing the vinyl wall tile in the kitchen, I decided NOT to reinstall the original miniblind, and instead was inspired by someone else’s post on the forum, or possibly Facebook, I can’t remember. Instead, I added a...

Welcome Allen and Melony! Hope you can join us at a Rally! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As others have said, Eternabond will be a good temporary fix (and possibly long term) until you figure out what you want to do. We used Eternabond for tree mishap, and it held for about 2 years. I noticed being on the radius curve, it was starting to separate a bit. I added more tape. ;) When...

Finally got around to adding self-stick vinyl tile to the kitchen and buffet area. We’ve wanted to do this since we bought the coach. (Note white paper/blue tape to cover window until mini-blind can be reattached.) Before pic. The metal artwork was removed on day one, I didn’t care for...

Yes they told us the weight was about 150 lbs added to our roof, on a 42’ fiver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When we had hail damage, I claimed it as an insurance claim, and had a spray-on roof done instead. This company uses Flex Armor, which is sprayed on in a controlled environment at their shop. Read for yourself the benefits of this product. www.RVRoof.com You might see if the deductible on an...

We purchased a Arctic King portable AC from WalMart this year to supplement our cooling needs in the hot West Texas sun. It does great! We are able to access the fireplace plug which has a dedicated breaker, and vent it out a small window in the slideout. We had to fashion a piece of coroplast...

Congrats!! We love ours!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, Dan I don’t own a Landmark but I sure appreciate your efforts to keep owners informed!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another rig in our park used a “sunshade” type tarp to block the sun on his kitchen slide. I’m guessing to aid in keeping the fridge cooler. Something like the pic, but this is for an awning. They just have it attached to the slide top, angled down to the ground. Sent from my iPhone using...

Welcome Norm and Carol! I met Norm on the North Texas BBQ Addicts Facebook page, and told him to join! He had some great pics of their Bighorn at Lake Bob Sandlin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shackles can slowly stretch over time, and you may not realize it until this (breakage) happens. I recall one shackle broke on our ElkRidge, when we did our test-tug for the hitch with the wheels blocked before departing Breckenridge, CO. Luckily, Dan and Ann Mayer were in the same park and gave...

Just ribbin’ ya John, but pictures of your hard work would be nice to see. It’s quite an accomplishment! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

John, pictures or it didn’t happen! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chris, thanks for sharing, very informative! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha, George, the problem is my time! This took much longer than it should. The tile is on 10x10 sheets, with a specific overlapping pattern. Each sheet is identical. Well, I didn’t want the pattern to repeat so often, so I cut the sheets and shifted it, so it repeats less noticeably. This...

Countertop was cleared of “Stuff” for the project. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What year model is your Big Country? I seem to recall advertising of a “quick recovery” hot water heater that maybe can “produce” 20 gallons of hot water, but the tank may be actually be a 10 gallon tank. My 2016 Big Country says 65 gallon fresh tank, and 90 gal grey - I know that is two...

I failed to follow up on this thread, Heartland sent a second tank which arrived unharmed. However, I couldn’t find a local rv tech to do the work. Since we were taking our rig to Elkhart for another issue, we asked them to replace the tank as well, and they did, relocating it back from the...

We had a crack on the bottom of the fresh tank supply “outlet”. It was discovered during our one year warranty, we think caused by the location, being to close to a metal structure and flex in the tank upon filling. Heartland authorized replacing the whole tank, and sent us the tank to have it...

When we bought our Big Country in 2016, I thought it needed a backsplash in the bathroom. 5 years later, I finally got around to doing it! These are self-stick gel tiles, about 12x12 sheets. Purchased from Amazon. Before After Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We fulltime but are stationary for most of the time since we work. Here lately we have been going somewhere for the weekend every other week, mainly because we didn’t get to take a long vacation in June like we have in the past. We use Camco Super Wheel chocks, they are mainly for peace of mind...

Wow that roof structure looks amazing! Would like to see more pics. Maybe show us in a new post? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Compared to the original farmland logo and the oval H, yes this logo might appeal to a younger crowd, whom they are likely targeting. But it doesn’t have ANY characteristics of the established brand, so it will inevitably create a disconnect for brand followers, and confusion in the marketplace...

As a graphic designer for 27 years and a Heartland owner for the past 12 years, it is definitely a total rebranding. If they are trying to “shed the past”, they have greatly succeeded, because no one will confuse the previous Heartland brand (good or bad) with this company brand. Sent from my...

You can do some research yourself on this website, it may look targeted to fifth wheels, but he addresses conventional towing as well. Www.fifthwheelst.com That said, we had a 2008 North Trail 21FBS and towed with a 2009 Toyota Tundra. According to our math we had plenty of truck. But you will...

I’ve seen this happen on various RVs as we’ve traveled. Not sure the cause, but I can recommend FlexArmor Spray on roof, you’ll never have to worry about the rubber again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, I can say that the FlexArmor does make a significant difference is sound deadening. We had some pretty heavy rain Monday night, and it sounded like a gentle shower! I think there was even some small hail, but it didn’t sound like it! As far as making an insulating difference, it’s still...

Keep an eye on the zip ties. We have bug screens on our fridge vents held on with zip ties. One fails about every 6-9 months. I just noticed before our last trip that a zip tie holding things to our flexible race under the slide had failed, causing the propane hose to possibly rub against the...
