If you join the Heartland owners club. You get 10% off your parts order, with heartland. Ernie

I have have filled my tank full and driven with it full. I never have had a tank fall out. I have not looked at my BH to see how much sagging there is. On my SOB, the bottom was not covered, and the tank sagged in the middle. I could push it up and drain the water. I think the biggest problem is...

I just got back from Pirolli Park in Petersburg, Michigan. There was a new Prowler. I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner until we were at the dump station. He has owned it for three weeks. I let him know about the forum. I have also given many a tour of my BH. Ernie

A local news station tested this product and gave it the thumbs up. I have seen the infomercial, but I do not have one. Ernie

Tanuki, I do not think that Heartland pays the dealers $125.00/hr. That is more like customer charge. I would bet Heartland pays about half that much. Ernie

Jim, That is a very nice video. If I was not a club member already it makes me want to join. Ernie

Hi, racingzr. Sorry you are having problems. There could be something stuck in the valve that's keeping it from sealing. It would probably be the cut outs for the pipes. As far as Heartland covering a field call, field calls are not covered under warranty; I have never seen any manufacturer...

Thanks Jim. Ernie

I wanted to look in the WiKi today and I do not see it. Did we get ride of it? Or did it just get lost? Ernie

I had changed them on my BH. I got them right from General RV. Best thing I have done. I do find when I am camping that I do not keep them latched. I just latch them when I travel. Ernie

Good catch and fix. If I remember right, this has been talked about before. Since it has been a bit since I last looked at the wires under the bed, I'll do it this week. This is a real fire hazard. Ernie

I have had good luck with blowing compressed air into the breather tube. Ernie

I do not trun off my porpane. But keep this mind. Their is a flame and if you pull into a gas station it could ignite the fumes. You will get lots off people saying off and others on. At the end of the day it is up to you. How safe do you feel with propan on? I think there are far more with...

Bighorn on Milford Road, going northbound under I-96 at 5:30 p.m. I think it was a white Chevy tow vehicle. Ernie

Sounds like everthing is working out. Ernie

I would still push the dealer to use one off there lot. I would bet they would get a mirror faster. Like you said they can't sell it with out one. When I got my BH it need a counter top that took 3 mouths to get. I had the Bh the whole time when it came in, I then took the Bh to the dealer. I...

Ron thanks for the list of parts and how you did it. Ernie

I would lean on the dealer and have them take a door off another unit that they have in stock. At my work, we have done this to get the customer going if a part was not readily available. Ernie.

This is a great mod. If it works out well, please make a list of parts. As I would like to do the same thing. Ernie

You will want to replace the brake shoes. Once grease and oil get on the linings, you can not get it out. Erine.

I have bought three trailers from General RV Wixom. I never saw a PDI charge. As with John, I had walkthough of monkey see, monkey do. As I got them all when it 80+ degrees outside, the only thing I took their word on was the heater. When I got the BH, the countertop had a nick in it that they...

Same as the others. The only time the rails will be a big deal is if you haul aggregate. When I moved some sand, I just put a tarp down and then filled the bed with sand. The sprayed in bed liner is better than the plastic ones that drop in. The drop in ones need to be cut before they mount the...

Re: OOPS! Poked a hole in the bladder of my trailair pin box In Michigan we have aftermarket truck parts. There about five that come to me off the top of my head. They are usely less money then the dealers. You may also want a try napa. Ernie

Before I bought my BH, I had bought SOB. I had bought it new, and it was two model years old. The dealer had one of the year before, and the new year just came in. I walked all three, and they were all about the same. The only difference was minor. I only had a problem with the landing gear and...

Is it the hose leaking or is it the o-ring on the selector valve seeping? I make hydraulic hoses where I work. It is not safe to repair high pressure hydraulic hoses. Hoses do deteriorate from the heat and the sun. When you crimp on a new fitting, it does not crimp onto the hose the same as...

I know most of the pedestals can be locked with a padlock. Withthat being said, the campground may not like it. I have locked my pedestal and have never been told I couldn't lock it. A lock will deter the thief. In Detroit, they cut the live power wires from buildings to get the copper. Ernie

I run with down also.

I blow out my black tank line every year. I also have the valve closed. Yes, all of your tanks are vented. If you got a vacuum, your vent may be blocked. I think you may have heard the spinners moving; without water, they sound a bit different. Ernie

I'm not sure how Honda has the 30 amp plug wired. It may or may not work. If it doesn't, you will just use 20-30 amp adapter. I hope this helps. Ernie

That is a nice looking rig. Does the inside look as nice as the outside? Congratulations on the new home. Ernie

I have been thinking about adding a switch in the storage compartment, but I have not found a rocker or toggle switch holder that I think would hold up and/or it would be in the way. Ernie

Urban350, What else do you use Fluid Film for? How offten do you apply it? I have seen Fluid film and thought about using it. Thanks Ernie

I would be interested in the plumbing for the bathroom sink. Looks like it is part of the bed slide.

I do the same, as most have said. I am able to keep my Bighorn next to my house, so I do not take out the TV. Just make sure you drain all of the water out of the lines and hot water heater. Remove all food, batteries for remotes and smoke detectors, and any personal hygiene products that would...

I put in a slide-out trash can. I do not see big difference between and mounting on the door or the floor. Just my 2 cents. Ernie

I would get the heavier one. If you ever get a bigger 5th wheel you can move it from your currant rig to the new and save a few dollars down the road. Ernie

I do not not have aluminum on my trailer, but I do use a power washer on it. Power washers are not all the same. Depending on how many PSIs it puts out and if you get too close to the trailer, you could dent the aluminum. As far as the roof, there are a lot of different products to use. I do not...

This was the first time it shut the power off. The way I see it, it just saved me from buying an a/c compressor. We just lived without a/c for the weekend. It only shut it off when I was trying to run the a/c. I also do not think I was on a true 50 amp service. I was plugged in last year to this...

I called Progressive to day. After talking to them, I should have done two things. Frist look for the "PE" code not the "E0" code. Second I should have called their after hour techical support. As I had tought The Jeff the Tec. at Progressive was thinking it was a low voltage. Thanks Ernie

John, it is the hardwired. I am going to call them today. I was thinking it was the pedestal also. I will update after talking to Progressive. I was fishing for a little infomation, hoping I was just missing some thing. Thanks for the reply! -Ernie
