    Air Force Museum Poll for Ohio Heartland Chapter Rally

    The Air Force Museum is the best Museum I have ever been to of that type. Highly recommended and you can't beat the price.

    Bedroom emergency window.

    You should try your emergency exit window to be sure you know how it works. It is hinged so it doesn't just fall out. The first time I tried to open ours it seemed to be stuck at the bottom (non-hinge side) and I had to tap it to free it. Would of hated for that to happen in an emergency.

    Going to do our walk through tomorrow

    The dealer should do the PDI (walkthrough) with you prior to delivery. Make a list of the issues you find and many if not all should be corrected before you take delivery. Also after you receive your rig I would recommend spending at least 1 or 2 nights in a campground as close to the dealer...

    Should I be Concerned?

    Looks to me like there is a possibility of water intrusion especially on the one by the edge of the side. I would recommend calling Heartland Customer Service to see if they can help. Water can travel a long way so check all of the rig for caulking issues.

    Diesel lower than Gas

    Here in Beaumont/Port Arthur there is Exxon, Shell, Citgo, Valero, Phillips 66 among others. Guess the price difference must be in trucking charges, after all we are 8 miles from most of them. (tongue in cheek). Just seems so strange there is such a disparity in fuel charges. Within 3 miles...

    Diesel lower than Gas

    And I paid $1.69 a gal for diesel this afternoon in Beaumont where it is made. Go figure.

    Sidearm choice- for the wife.

    Looking at the .22 for self defense due to number killed I would say find an RG-22 that you can buy for about $29.95 cause that is what killed a number of poor folks I saw killed. Most LEOs could probably attest to the same. But for stopping power there is a reason that LEOs carry 40 cal and...

    Diesel lower than Gas

    Yes but there is additional refining for gasoline also. The higher charge for Diesel is merely an excuse for additional profit. MHO

    Sick of Heartland Big Horn! Worst purchase we have ever made

    Sounds to me like your problems were with Dometic and not Heartland. BTW you said you had to return to the dealer at your expense, I don't think your could expect Heartland to pay for your travel expenses to return to a dealer (does a car manufacturer pay your travel expenses to return to a...

    Diesel lower than Gas

    It seems to me that many stations are using regular gasoline as the 'loss leader' and using diesel for their money maker. Diesel should be priced equal to or below regular gasoline. MHO

    Palo Duro Canyon OK?

    Forgot to mention the "Panhandle" area of Texas does get very cold in the winter months and very hot in the summer. But beautiful country. Also in the spring keep a watch on the weather as they are in the 'tornado belt'

    Sidearm choice- for the wife.

    Look at the Sig 380. The slide operates easily. DW found it was about the only one she could operate without difficulty. It is small, compact and shoots great.

    REPAIRED: Bedroom heater vent in 2016 Orlando

    Re: Bedroom heater vent in 2016 Orlando You might check the duct at the furnace connection to see if it is leaking or connected. You may need to put some duct tape on it.

    how many warranty claims have you had? just total numbers please

    The question was how many warranty claims have you had not how many problems have you had. I have taken care of several issues myself without filing a warranty claim. Sometimes it faster and easier to take care of it yourself. Like my Dad used to tell me ... if you want it done right then do...

    Upfitter Switches.....what have you hooked to them?

    I hooked up the air compressor for the air bags on switch #4. Thinking about adding another air compressor to another switch for some air train horns as soon as I find the funds.

    Can F250 6.7l Diesel tow 16000 GW?

    Every time I have checked the tow rating the DRW was LOWER than the SRW because of the extra weight of the DRW rear Axles. So to me the stability issue was more important.

    Can F250 6.7l Diesel tow 16000 GW?

    Look at the price on the F250 versus the F350. In most cases the F350 can be had for the same or less money than the F250. The size of the two are basicly the same. So why not get the F350. You will be much happier with it. I recommend the dually although the SRW will do the job. I have...

    Jewelry Design/Making/Marketing

    I make Rosaries. Sell them occasionally to those who ask. Also sometimes we are at a park that will have a 'garage sale' or vendor day. Thousand Trails we stay at sometimes has every Saturday from 8-11am where you can set up a table in the Activity Center to sell items. I have sold some there.

    New to the Bighorn!

    Congratulations. I know you are excited. If you already have the Northtrail equipped for camping you are mostly there. The only thing I would think you might need is a 50 to 30 amp adapter since the Horn is 50amp and you may need to hookup to 30 amp.
