Re: Finding campsites without making rseverations We've been saying that longer than 20 years - we were boaters before we became RVers and that was our mantra then .Perhaps Harley borrowed from us.

Re: Finding campsites without making rseverations It's not about the destination, it's about the journey.

Re: Finding campsites without making rseverations Everyone's different. We like having an itinerary knowing where we'll be when. We usually have visits that we schedule with friends and work out a route around that. We make reservations and have only had issues with cancellations in Colorado...

That looks like the Yeti option switch.

If the flea collars stop working, we'll switch to the screens. Thanks for the suggestion.

Dirt daubers got us on one of our boats, so now we check for them and wasp nests routinely. We seem to get a lot fewer since we put flea collars in the propane areas.

Our Shark is for picking up pet hair. We don't fulltime any longer, so the Shark is perfect for home & trailer. Safe travels.

We elected to get the central vacuum. Don't use it - bring our Shark. - - - Updated - - - Don't forget about the hair. Don't know what you have, but our pug is a mighty shedder!!

Find out what every switch, button, and lever does. Open every door and drawer. Use a flashlight to examine everything. Use blue tape to mark things that need repair. Take pictures and even make a video of the PDI. It's your money and your trailer - don't let anyone rush you through your...

The same reason I believe in SAE J2807 towing standards and other standards organizations. Yes one should go over everything to assure things are right as well. I think you missed the point of my question. If you learn something about ISO you will see that it assures that a manufacturer is using...

Trust me it is relevant and applicable :-) Please explain why you believe it to be. I would think that you go over every home, boat, automobile, and other expensive items you purchase with a fine tooth comb. We do - especially when it comes with features that are unfamiliar to us. An RV is...

WOW! I know that Paul and I were trying to understand how the ISO term would be relevant and applicable in an industry where many of the products (as ours) are unique orders. Of course everyone hopes for as close to perfect a product as possible, but with each unit assembled in a non-automated...

Do you know what brands are ISO certified?

Your insurance policy on the trailer may be voided by entering into a rental scenario. If the trailer was involved in any accident or damaged or destroyed in a weather event, you could find yourself out the cost of the trailer and on your own for damages to others - including lawsuits brought...

Prayers going up from us. May God hold you in the Palm of his hand.

Camping World stinks - don't take your rig there. We had to have one of our slides repaired for a hydraulic leak. They had to replace part of the underbelly - and rather than position the overlapping material toward the rear of the trailer, it was catching all the air from traveling down the...

When you're looking at the gears, look for anything that can impede its operating. A lego was stuck in ours once. Also, ours has molding below the refrigerator that was not clearing a heat vent after the lego incident. Check that too. Good luck.

We live in SC and don't leave any liquids in our trailer over the winter - and it rarely goes below 32° here.

That's a fact.

Atlanta is hateful to pull through any time. Take the long route - saves a lot of stress.

Get into a routine. Be methodical. Martha does the interior, retracting the slides and retracting the legs. I do the septic (aka stinky slinky), fresh water system, electric and satellite system. Martha walks around the trailer exterior after we're hooked up, checking for anything not...

We live in Myrtle Beach, so we fled from Florence last month. We feel your pain. Be safe.

RV Park Reviews is a good source of what to expect at campgrounds. We use it all the time. Been surprised at what we've found a couple of times, but fairly accurate.

The previous owner never used the shower?

Couple of questions for OP 1) Camper Land in Myrtle Beach? We live here and don't recognize that dealership. Where is it? 2) who have you spoken to at Heartland?

Check for anything impending movement. A grandchild dropped a Lego and couldn't locate it. The slide did. It took some contortionist moves, but got it out. Could be a small object or a heating vent screws or a piece of trim catching (yep, experts at all 3). Watch inside to see if it stops or...

Ask away! We leaned heavily on this forum when we purchased our Big Horn. We're all owners here, so you'll get first-hand experience on what does and doesn't work. Welcome

Prayers and positive thoughts for you and your family.

Yep, been there, done that (switch Fahrenheit to Celsius). Happened when one of us pushed the up and down buttons at the same time. Switched it back and all the planets realigned and we had cool air. Hope it solves your situation.

Re: Concerned Have you ever bought a new house? There may be problems, there may not be. There are many components to an RV just as to a house. HVAC, plumbing, kitchen appliances, furniture - all made by humans. Best advice - do a slow and thorough PDI (pre-delivery inspection) making a...

Big Horn is also a full-time trailer. We've been in temps approaching 0 as well as over 100 and stayed comfortable in our Big Horn. We did opt for the Yeti package and double panes windows which make a big difference summer and winter.

That looks like it would give more space between meals inside. I think it's a good idea.

We had the same problem. It's a design flaw. We've replaced the hose at least twice.

We love ours too.

That's why we're all here. Welcome and join the owners group. Ask questions if you have any. Trust us, you'll get answers. Enjoy your BH.

There are thermostat manuals in the tools section. Look there for your manufacturer. You might need to look around for the correct one. I know on our Dometic, we push the +&- keys at the same time to toggle through settings.

There was no other trailer that you could purchase in lieu of this one? You say that Heartland knew of the issues but didn't care. Was this based on the decision for you to not come to the factory?

We still don't understand why you completed the purchase on this trailer with all the enumerated issues. Didn't you find these on your PDI? Did you do a PDI? Did you get the selling dealer to compile a list of deficiencies that you both signed in acknowledgement?

Usually that works, but there are times when it needs to be tweaked ever so little. That's what we've found over the last almost 6 years.

Over a period of time, the trailer can get slightly off level. You notice it if your doors don't remain open usually, so a manual adjustment is needed to bring it back.
