    What did you do to your camper today?

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Finally got my Onan 6500 wired into the gen prep and plumbed into the propane. Fired up and ran a load on it for about an hour and a half. Just need to get a tailpipe cut to fit our Gateway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Load capacity concerns on the 39mb Bighorn Traveler

    We found ourselves in a similar situation as well. We chose our new Gateway 3713CK because of the floorplan. The difference between it and a "normal" mid-bunkhouse was what really made my wife fall in love with it. However, the GVRW is 15,500 and after the options we added from the factory...

    Heartland Owners Club now free?

    So, we joined (and paid) around October 19th right after taking delivery of our new Gateway and still haven't received anything in the mail. Should we still have received the name tags and whatever else used to be sent out?

    Towmax Tires

    According to Sailuns website, it appears the ST tires have a speed rating of L, which I believe is 75 MPH. http://gosailun.com/MRT/Tire/S637T Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Towmax Tires

    I think that’s a good price. My total price at trailer tires and wheels was $706. The only place I found the tires cheaper was on simpletire.com, but that price doesn’t include mounting or balancing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Towmax Tires

    I just put the Sailuns on my new Gateway before I drove it back to Texas from Indiana and have these rims. Mine were stamped 3750 and 110 psi. So while you can’t really take advantage of the 4000 lb load capacity of the sailun on these rims, you can still get the increased stability and peace of...

    Hydraulic Fluid Leaking

    I don’t recall it having a specific smell and I had my head in the front compartment cleaning it up and working on it for a while. At least it wasn’t so overwhelming that I remember. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hydraulic Fluid Leaking

    Well I was able to finally tighten up those bottom two valves. Luckily the wires were labeled and they were the valves for the rear left and rear right levelers. So good news is that the front wasn’t leaking. I had to remove two of the hoses and loosen each connector to move them out of the...

    Hydraulic Fluid Leaking

    I’m trying to get in there to tighten the valve to the body, but it’s dang near impossible, lol. I disconnected a hose in my way, but the thickness of my wrench makes it hard to get on that bolt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hydraulic Fluid Leaking

    I was finishing up installing my snap pads and running the auto level when I noticed hydraulic fluid leaking out by the front door side jack. I opened the front compartment and saw it leaking steadily. I hurried and got it back on the truck in case it started to lose the ability to hold up the...

    Electric Brakes

    I had the same opportunity to test it out when I left MORryde on Friday afternoon. A car stopped right In front of me just a block or 2 from their facility and it definitely was nice feeling the trailer stopping me instead of pushing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Changes to Texas Registration

    Any trailer with a gross weight of 7500 lbs or more requires a safety inspection. I’ve always had to have safety inspections on my RV. Basically they check the lights and brakes. http://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/buying-or-selling-a-vehicle/trailers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Changes to Texas Registration

    Texas has required safety inspections as long as I can remember. It is just certain more populated counties that require emissions inspections as well. I have always lived in the DFW area, so we had safety and emissions. My parents live in Lubbock and only had safety inspections I believe. Now...

    Thanks for all the recommendations for Trailer Tires and Wheels! Drove over this morning while MORryde finishes up my IS and disc brakes this morning. Got an even better price than the website showed. $166 plus $10 to mount and balance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Today I got my Progessive EMS installed. For now I just put the monitor in the basement. I might run it inside if/when I try to take advantage of some of the wasted space under there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MOR/ryde Independent Suspension

    So would going with the 8k suspension and 7k springs be recommended? Then if you ended up needing to upgrade to the 8k springs later, it would be cheaper/easier? We are supposed to be taking delivery of our Gateway 3713CK on the 16th up in Michigan. I have an appointment at MR the following...

I’m wanting to go with the 8000 lb to give us a little extra buffer since we will be...

    Palo Duro Canyon State Park

    Generally you are looking at highs in the 50s-60s and lows in the 30s-40s in November. The main reason we went in July was to go watch Texas. During the day, if there wasn't a breeze it definitely got toasty. Sitting in the shade with a breeze wasn't bad at all. Fortunately, we had storms roll...

    Palo Duro Canyon State Park

    We were just there over the 4th of July and for a family reunion and it was really nice. It was too hot to really do any hiking so we definitely plan on going back in the fall or spring. They don't have any full hookup sites. We stayed in the Juniper loop right next to one of the bathrooms and...
