    Good Sam Campgrounds can be a little greedy at times

    We've used this park in the past, but have never experienced the rate being hiked. In fact, they have offered to give me the weekly rate even though I was staying only 6 nights, since it was less than paying the daily rate. The park recently changed ownership and my experience was with the...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    If you happen to be going to the Vegas rally, I have some seam tape I got from Heartland that will match your wall covering. I'll be in Site 147. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Winegard Traveler install on Big Country

    I had difficulty locating the coax and control wire coils in my 2013 Key Largo. Owners with the same model gave me advice on where their could were located, but no dice for me. Finally called Heartland and discovered Engineering Dept. changed the coil location 3 times during model year so...

    2016 - Las Vegas - Satellite Sales and Service

    I bought an SK1000 on sale from PPL and installed it myself for less than $1200. PPL wanted $400 labor to install which I thought was too high for a prewired coach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: CO, Colorado Springs - 9/15/2016 to 9/18/2016

    I'm sorry Dan and Ann had trailer issues going home. I hope they're able to get it squared away and make it home today. Always good to hear of other club members coming to the rescue. David Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Potential New Owner Here! Need Help selecting right model for my situation.

    Most dealers and Heartland employees have not lived in an RV enough to fully appreciate the issues owners face in sub-freezing weather. This isn't a criticism, just a fact. Regardless of the make, brand or model, living in an RV in the freezing cold requires additional effort and expense. My...

    Length of cord in power cord reel.

    I would say that's pretty close. My coach is nominally 40 feet long. The reel is only a foot or so from the rear and reaches about to the front face of the front storage compartment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    On our way to Las Vegas

    We just came across Wolf Creek Pass early this afternoon headed to Bayfield/Durango for 10 days. We left South Fork where the aspens were starting to turn, but things on this side of the pass haven't turned as much yet. We'll be in Hurricane cane UT the 28th til Oct. 2, then on to Vegas...

    Best route into Taos NM

    Great Sand Dunes NP is a good choice. Definitely see if you're in the area. We went in 2007. You can see the dunes from 60 miles away across the San Luis Valley. They had a severe thunderstorm with hail in the NP vicinity earlier today. I was in Alamosa (nearest Walmart to our campground)...

    You guys have gone a lot of the same places as we did this year. We were in Elkhart, Shipsewana and Valparaiso until July 5, then went to Mackinaw Island via Ludington, MI. We went to Whitefish Pt. and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum on a cold, rainy and windy day (appropo, I guess). We'd...

    Winegard Travler install in 4100 King

    I can appreciate your hesitancy to start drilling holes in your roof. I sweat for several days until I got assurance from Heartland customer support on the exact location of the coiled cables in my 2013 Landmark. If your Cyclone is prewired for the Winegard Trav'lr, the control cable should be...

    Best route into Taos NM

    A few years ago we drove in our car from LaVeta CO to Taos on 160 and 522. 522 is a fairly flat and straight road. I don't recall anything that would cause problems when towing. It's a bit shorter than taking 285 if coming from the east. On the return trip, we took 64 to 25. I wouldn't pull...

    how many miles per year do you tow your camper

    Domestic 320 in Key Largo

    Anyone know if a Dometic 320 toilet will fit in the Key Largo bathroom, replacing the original Thetford? I know the 320 requires 11" clearance on the rear and sides from the drain center, but the angle wall to the left rear of the toilet is a ringer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why do people ...

    Agree with Mike. We stay at a few Thousand Trails resorts. Most have very clean restrooms and I will use if our site is nearby. In the past, we've stayed a week or longer at a few parks (state, county, etc.) without sewer hookups and, if restrooms are clean, will use to conserve onboard...

    Toilet

    Update: measured flows @ regulator output ~ 10 gpm; @ softener outlet ~ 6 gpm; @ filter output ~ 2 gpm. Looks like the filters are the major problem. Temporarily bypassing filters until I can get replacement cartridges. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Toilet

    I tend to think the flow coming into the coach is low. Not only was the flow in the toilet low, but was low in the bathroom faucet and there wasn't enough flow to operate the clothes washer. With the coach pump on, the flow in the toilet was significantly better and so was the flow in the...

    About to toss a tst sensor!!

    Thanks Tom. I was hoping to avoid using the extensions. Part of the problem is the cheap fake "chrome" plastic wheel covers/inserts Chevy put on the 2011-13 3500 Silverados. I would have to fasten the extensions to the steel wheel and not the plastic cover. I'm not sure there's enough room...

    Water pressure low

    I adjust mine to 50 psi. That's plenty for good flow if the campground's water system allows it. I would never set the pressure over 60 psi as IMO higher pressures could compromise weak plumbing connections or fixtures in the coach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Re: Furnace shuts off after 30 seconds . . . John, before you start buying parts, you might check for loose or corroded electrical connections on or to the circuit board. It only takes a small, almost imperceptible, amount of corrosion to keep a 12v circuit from being completed. Since the fan...
