My truck is a long bed and I'm picking up my new trailer in a month. I'm seriously looking at a Reese Goose Box. I talked to Lippert and they don't recommend the Anderson, don't know why but they really wanted me to stay away from it....... My original pics were a Demco and Anderson, both of...

Firstly, how do you like your 39mb? I ordered one that just came off the assembly line and I'm due to pick it up mid April. One thing that concerns me is the small fresh water tank. As to the on demand hot water heaters. I know of two issues with them, I don't know if its all of them, but...

Thanks for the links, I read through everything I could find and it looks like people who have it like it. Did you ever resolve your issues? Was it hitting the bed rails on the truck? Why are you selling? I'm picking up my new trailer in Ohio mid April. PM me with how much you are asking...

Does anyone have one of these on their trailer? If so how do you like it? I talked with Lippert. They have no issues using this on their trailers and will fully cover it for warranty purposes. That being said, they will not warranty their pin boxes if used with an adapter, including the...

I recently read the eagle plan, low end policy, It's not worth the paper its printed on. You need to read them carefully, very carefully.

I'll be in the Naples area for two years. Will be heading there in April. AC will be my friend. I need to get used to the heat because I plan on moving on to a boat in the Bahamas

I understand, I was hoping someone could give me the measurement from the ground to the bottom of the trailer and the bottom of the hitch. With these two measurements I could make sure that what ever hitch I purchase would work provided the truck isn't to high. As I said the truck is the same...

Hmmm, I measured my neighbors truck a newer ford and its about one inch taller.

My bed is 4' 9" to the top of the bed box, I have bed rails on the truck that I can remove, to the top of the rails it's 5' even. and from the bottom of the be to the box top is 20"

I noticed that it said Part time, or temporary housing? I guess that if you full time you don't need a class E? Just spitting hairs.......Sometimes I wonder why there are so many stupid rules that people follow. LOL. The only thing I want to know is if the person knows what they are doing...

Are they adjustable on the front of the trailer? What is the height of the trailer? The reason I'm asking is I have a dodge 4X4 with 33" tires and it sits pretty high. I'm will be shopping for a hitch to mount on the goose neck that's in the truck and want to get an ideal on the height...

I'm a soon to be new owner of a Bighorn Traveler and wanted to know what the height of the pin would be when the trailer is sitting level. I will start shopping for the new hitch and wanted to get an ideal of what height the hitch needed to be in my truck. My truck sits kinda high and I wanted...

Re: NC License requirements for towing 5th wheel - Class A or not I thought it was suppose to be the GCWR. doesn't your truck have a GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) on the sticker? I believe mine does, but I will have to check. If you add the truck and the trailer together, you will...

I'm in the process of shopping for a hitch system right now. Trailer is being built. I have been watching videos of systems being installed and was just thinking that the rail system would not hold up in an accident, boy was a right, after seeing this thread. I'm glad to hear that everyone is...

Some of the apartment washer dryer units have 110v motors and circuits. Only the heating elements in the dryer are 220. Sometimes the same units can be purchased as 110v machines. (different models #s). I want to split the dryer heating elements into two 110 elements with a switch on one of...

Is your unit the gooseneck mount or the rail mount? I think yours is the rail mount.

Possibly, I'm going to be based in Florida but plan on doing some traveling. I forgot to mention another one. I'm putting a washer and dryer in the unit but an thinking about putting in a 220 volt apartment unit. Then I will take the heating elements and split them with two seperate elements...

Thank you very much for the weight. It's down to this unit or an Anderson. I wish that the Pullrite super lite was made to mount on a ball, I would be interested in that unit as well.

Have some mods that I plan on doing and thought I would post them here. The Unit is being built as I write. I plan on installing an instant hot water heater and want to add a return line to from the furthest distance back to the water heater with a small re-circulation pump. The I plan on...

How heavy is this unit? I cant find any info on its weight? or the weight of the individual pieces. I'm seriously considering this product to mount on my goose neck.

If I had purchased a coating and I still needed to wax and clean it for streaks etc. I'd be taking it back to the dealer every chance I had and make them clean and wax it for as long as it was supposed to be protected. It would probably get to the point that they would be paying me more money...

Saw your plan and I have had another ideal for a second bed. A Murphy bed with a desk. I saw these at Costco a while back and the desk slips under the bed with everything on it and stays level. Just pull the bed down, it was counter weighted so it went up and down like nothing. They came in...

Many, many years ago they use to make a dryer that was 220 110. I don't remember who made it, but I do remember that it would switch automatically depending on what it sensed for power. If it only had one circuit of power then it would operate as a 110 dryer, but if power was sensed on the...

Wanted to share something. A friend of mine use to own a Tiffan Motor home which use to get mice. I used foam in a can to block off all of the electrical and plumbing chases to the basement. For the slide rods, I would use some wax paper around the rods and foam to fill the holes.

Just did some checking and 4800 watts is possible. I saw a custom motor home that was built with raised side walls above the AC units and it had panels full width and length. I also just looked up 400 watt panels and you could put 12 of them up in a similar fashion. I think its getting there as...

I talked to Heartland today and they gave me a bunch of information about their trailers. The GVW numbers on some of the trailers are not accurate or up to date. They raised the weight capacity of the 39mb from 15,500 to 16,000 lbs and the actual dry weight is about 500 lbs less than what is...

I have some updates and great news for those of you in this situation. I talked to Heartland today with my concerns and the person pulled out all of the info he had. The GVW numbers on some of the trailers are not accurate or up to date. They raised the weight capicity of the 39mb from 15,500...

You don't need 1100 watts of power to the batteries for the fridge. It draws this kind of power only while running. Figure that it probably runs for about 20 minutes per hour unless you are in a very hot climate so the total amount of power you would need not calculating losses and start...

Re: 17’ BH39MB dinner table question I was in an 39MB last week and ordered one last week as well. The table in the unit I was in had an extension. You might want to contact Heartland, because maybe your unit has the wrong table in it....... How do you like your unit? I'm concerned about...

You are correct, but the total capacity is 2100 lbs and the Traveler is 2050 lbs

I wanted a midbunk unit and if you look at the upper end units from Heartland, that have a midbunk they have the same weight capacity as the Traveler. I'm becoming disheartened with Heartland. How much weight are the dual pane windows? Whats funny is that if you added all of the options...

You are correct. The dealer calls it a factory extended warranty so I was using their term to differentiate.

Re: planning on purchasing a Bighorn next month and have some questions for the factory (ordered unit) Heartland does not list this option on the 39mb. Did they list it as an option on your unit, or did you call them and ask for it specifically? - - - Updated - - - I'm going to be calling...

Re: planning on purchasing a Bighorn next month and have some questions for the factory (ordered unit) I wish the factory would do the upgrade...... What did the axles, wheels and tires cost you and what did you get for the old wheels and tires? and maybe the axles? Do you think they will...

I have just ordered an 39mb with dual pane windows and slide toppers and plan on installing a washer dryer. I am very concerned about the available load capacity which will be less than 2000 lbs. Is there any way to increase this? What frame is used on this unit, what is its load capacity...

Re: planning on purchasing a Bighorn next month and have some questions for the factory (ordered unit) I wouldn't of believed a tree would have blown over that far inland.......Its amazing how strong storms can be. I hope I never end up traveling through one with the trailer. Wow! those are...

Re: planning on purchasing a Bighorn next month and have some questions for the factory (ordered unit) Sorry to hear that. I'm in Florida working with Irma victims. Did you like the unit? What issues did you have with it. I could cancel the order and lose a grand, or I could do some...

Re: planning on purchasing a Bighorn next month and have some questions for the factory (ordered unit) Thanks for all of your input and help. I'm going to contact BofA since that is the loan carrier and see how much BS is going on. I'm also going to research extended warranties and rates...

Thanks for the replies, I added the toppers and am planning on using the Anderson Ultimate as I have gooseneck ball to install. My truck is older, but has lots of upgrades. I don't plan on doing a lot of towing, mainly staying in one area for months and months at a time. I'm looking for as...

Thanks for the info. They claim to warranty tires, slide gaskets, roof, everything, including rips and tares in the furniture plus the tow vehicle tires. I use to be a mechanic, and have been building and working on buildings forever. Should I order the slide toppers? Reading about them...
