    EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: GA, Pine Mountain, - 5/4/2012 to 5/6/2012

    Re: ??? Pot Luck ??? Judi and I are camped just north of Louisville in Indiana. Been in the area since yesterday. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Dave and Julie for setting up a great event. We met so many new friends and saw old ones again. Can't wait for Gillette and Cody.

    Every person that was still at the rally came to Eddie Mae's this evening to help celebrate Judi's and my anniversary. I'd like to thank you all for coming and a special thanks to Carol and Terrell for picking up our tab. What a fun group.

    Re: ??? Pot Luck ??? Well, it's almost over, but Judi and I would like to ask you all to join us at Eddy Mae's(Dinner Buffet) this evening. They are the people that catered that wonderful chicken dinner last night. It's sort of our anniversary dinner. Couldn't find a White Castle, so I had to...

    ATF: Big Country - Bedroom reading lights

    Dave, the dealer has already replaced the bulb 2 or 3 times. The bad bulb is black and we saw it blow when we turned it on. I ruled out the switch because I have 13.22 volts at the socket.

    ATF: Big Country - Bedroom reading lights

    I need help repairing one of the reading lights above the headboard. I've had it at the dealer more than once. To this date my wive has never been able to use it. As soon as the light is turned on the bulb blows. I get 13.22 volts at the socket. It is an almost 200 mile round trip to the dealer...

    Dining Table Light

    I had the same problem on my rig. I replaced one of the two 921 bulbs with a LED bulb and it made a BIG difference. Bright and white. Purchased at the Phoenix rally for $20. Down the road at a Yuma flea market, I purchased a second one for $14. The lady warned me that it might be a different...

    Good Sam Rally PIR

    Just got back from the Good Sam Rally in Phoenix. A trip filled with lots of fun and problems. My 2012 Big Country let me down twice. On the way there(from St. Louis), we had to stop at a dealer in Albuquerque because Judi kept smelling gas and we had very little gas pressure at the stove. A...

    Ron, I can't remember the name of the one we stayed at(we've stayed at 3 different ones), but it sounds like the one with the horse stables. If it is, we really liked it too. The other one we thought we might try is on the main drag in town. Thanks, Bernie

    Heartland underengineered the 3950s landing gear.

    Call me a redneck too. I did the exact same thing this summer up in Alaska. I wire nutted two short pieces of 12 gauge solid wire to the motor leads. They acted like probes and got me all the way through Alaska and back home.

    Just made the reservation. We will be arriving on Jun 17 and leaving on the 24th. But, now that I look at it, maybe I should have checked out on the 25th. What are the activities for the 24th?

    Although we've camped in Cody before, we've decided to go ahead and check in on the 17th. It was 106 degrees last time we were there, so hopefully this time the temps will be a little lower.

    Door locks

    Thanks, John. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and pay the price. I believe it is against the law to lock the propane compartment, but I guess whenever I'm with the rig I could leave it unlocked. Right now the tanks are chained and pad locked (tubular key), but I like the idea of installing...

    Door locks

    JohnDar, where did you purchase your tubular cam locks and how pricey were they? I have spent hours on the internet looking for a set. Mine need to have 1 3/8 in long threads. I've found several, but they all are shorter. A local key shop can get them for me to the tune of over $18 per lock.

    Heartland underengineered the 3950s landing gear.

    It is NEVER a good idea when you have a problem like this to put in a higher amperage fuse. If the original wiring was close in the current capabilities of the fuse (amperage wise) and now you are forcing that wiring to handle more current, the wiring could burn up before the fuse blows and...
