I have fallen in love with my Porter Cable Compressor. Not a bad price on Amazon- I like the auto on/off feature, the ability to regulate the pressure you want to the hose, quickly fills the tank and it has decent sized tank for a portable compressor. I have used it a ton around the house and to...

Is it bad that I sometimes call the State Patrol on those people? I just don't think it is worth a life lost due to their ignorance.

Ugh- on the subject of stickers... Our trailer was purchased used. It was in AZ for about 5 years or so (to my best guess). There was a "www.HEARTLANDRV.com" vinyl sticker on the back. I think it was supposed to be clear with black letters now faded to a dark amber with black letters. I tried...

I will need to cancel the site by 4PM on 9/7 if no one is interested. Otherwise, they will be happy to roll the reservation over to someone if they would like. It is only for the weekend (9/19 leaving 9/21). Thanks!

We were going to be showing up for the weekend, but won't be able to make it. Would you like our site? If so- let me know Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

Note with the iPhone to get the right perspective: hold your phone straight up with the "home" button at the bottom- take picture for portrait size. Then turn phone counter-clockwise for landscape size picture. The phone registers the position of the phone with a little sensor inside. If the...

Jackson Res- Colorado The lake is out there somewhere! Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

I'm at Ford and they are doing a plug/patch. If it fails, I would like them to be the one to do it. Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

Ha! Just a short screw stuck in the tread. Little tiny hole where the tip went through. I got lucky! Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

Nice!! Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

I didn't think about that! Good advice. Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

Yup- not loosing air but I refuse to touch it. With my luck, it will be a stubby screw and not gone through, but I will have spent two hours in the shop to find that out. The Quick Lane at Ford takes forever. I would take it to Discount, but the road hazard warranty is through Ford. I am just...

Ugh- I picked up a screw washer and all yesterday. It's hard to tell, but I think it's in the shoulder. The tires have only 5k on them... I have road hazard so they can replace it. Given the reliability I need out of them towing the trailer- what are your thoughts?

I heard the skirts along the bumper can actually pick up and throw rocks- kinda like a broom sweeping quickly just above the ground. My dad used the Husky or WeatherTech molded ones and liked them a lot on his F-350 dually. I have the Husky ones and like them on my srw. Also- my dad has the...

Not drawing conclusions- just making suggestions based on experience. Some dealerships will have body work for minor repairs done at the lot. Some do a good job, others don't. This is an indication to me of further damage that may have happened to the trailer during transport. I used to own a...

Makes me wonder sometimes- why would it be clear coated after the decals installed? Yikes! I agree- call and have it fixed proper. I would also look at all other decals on the unit. The only reason this would happen is if there was damage to the rig and it wasn't fixed properly- like removing...

I will be next on the list to order for the same reasons! Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

I love my tool box! I use it all the time. I'm also purchasing a new drill for the unmentionable coroplast. Mine was raining water from it on my last trip. I was able to borrow a drill for the job and realized how much I needed a good rechargeable one for our trips. Carleen 2011 Ford F-350...

I love my truck for that very reason! It does a great job. I can't even imagine how the 2017's do. I might visit my friend at Ford today just so I can find out. I'll post pictures! Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

I had a 1999 F-350 Crew Cab Long Bed SRW 7.3 that I loved. I bought it from a friend who professionally races diesels down the track. Not much was left stock- all done at ATS in Colorado. His kids had named it the Big Booger because it was green. I got custom license plates called Booger. I...

Oh the Burgandy days... Remember when everything came in Blue, Burgandy, or Forrest Green? I drove a 2014 GMC Duramax Denali Dualy in Black on Black for a while. Loved it! Lots of power, comfort, beauty... I called her Black Betty and would sing the song every time I was behind the wheel. When...

All I can say- Thank goodness there are different trucks out there. I would hate for all of us to have the same opinion- We would have nothing to argue about! On a more serious note: Can you really go wrong with any of the current generation Diesel Trucks?? The technology is beyond anything we...

Even with the rubber gloves- I like to wash my hands afterwards. :o

You can also get really fancy like the Winnebago Ellipse and put a commercial paper towel and soap dispenser in your convenience center! I am actually going to do this myself soon so I don't have to run in for soap to wash my hands after fussing with the tubes.

I keep my sewer hose in a bucket. Keeps everything "contained" in one place and it is super easy to use and keep clean. Because you will have more sewer hose due to double tanks, you could use a larger Rubbermaid Tub. I have seen people use giant bags and it just seems messy to me. I like my...

Someone suggested earlier on a different post to try the GEO method for cleaning tanks. It is odd that you are getting such a bad odor. The only time I have experienced that is in high winds- something to do with tank pressure and wind forcing into the vents. I would agree that checking your...

Lights- you gotta get little lights to put around your campground... LOL when we outfitted our trailer, we bought new linens, kitchen stuff, lots of baskets to organize things. Then there is the chairs, outdoor rug, grill and all the goods for the outside. I am sure you will find its not hard to...

I tried a bunch of these LED lights in previous trailers from Amazon.com. I even put LEDs in the dash of my little Honda. The ones in the dash melted (??). They were flickering and smoking. Didn't know they got hot. Then I started checking the trailer. Some got hot and were melting too! Not sure...

Nice suggestions! Looking to book this weekend. I figure I can't get choice spots because I'm a little late in booking. Go figure! I'm saying I'm late and it's a year in advance. What is this world coming to!? Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

I have the same problem- but it is worse on the curb side. My theory is it could be the hot truck exhaust. I will post pictures this weekend. Mine rippled and sagged from the underside of the nose down to the front hatch. If you measure the distance to the truck exhaust, it's not far. Just a...

I use TireMinder- it was a hand-me-down and it saved me already. Has temp and pressure. Checked pressure with gauge and they have been quite accurate. The screen is small but boy does it let you know if something is wrong. I also like how easy they are to install. I don't have any experience...

Good to know. We have a small Honda Gen, but it isn't enough to run AC's so we don't typically bring it. I think it might be time to look at a generator for the trailer. It would be nice to have AC for boon-docking. Thanks for the info!

THAT is something I will need to do. I love that you installed an air compressor! I just purchased a Porter Cable 150 psi. also after experiencing tire problems during our last trip. The only downfall- we don't have a generator, so I am going to install an inverter to run the compressor in a...

Thanks for the suggestions!!! Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big Horn 3585RL

Hello, I thought I would reach out to fellow campers for some advice. We would like to plan a trip to South Dakota to visit Mount Rushmore during the 4th of July holiday next year. However, I have never stayed at a campground in that area. Can anyone make recommendations? I generally stay in...

I never thought to have the tires balanced with the sensors on. What a great idea! They are heavy enough to throw the balance off quite a bit. Thanks- very helpful :)

That is the hard part with the north east. So many states don't allow it. Luckily I don't travel there because I stick to the "Wild West" where most all states accept the Colorado CCL. I think I would rely on my dog more if I traveled east. You are right- leave the guns at home- not worth the...

I cave a CCL and 33 other states honor Colorado's CCL. They include the states I visit often. I carry during travel but not when at the site. I also have a secure system in my trailer because we travel with my son. There are rules in place that no other kids are allowed in the trailer because I...

My dad just traded for a diesel pusher. He tows the Jeep behind it. So far- it's nice. He likes the coach a lot. But, he has three long slides down each side. Every time he gets into the basement he has to bend over and crawl under the slides. He has slide out trays that help, they aren't under...

I carry when traveling. Because it's just my mom and I, we are always alert to the company around us. We have been in many campgrounds where we are watched- makes me uncomfortable. People take notice that there isn't a man around! I also got a bigger dog :) Carleen 2011 Ford F-350 6.7 2011 Big...
