    EVENT: Heartland Owners Camp-Out: MI, PETOSKEY - 8/20/2020 to 8/23/2020

    I had some health issues trying to get a handle on. Not Covid related. Marlene & I decided to stay close to home until we get things figured out. Getting old is not the Golden years. It takes your Gold and gives it to the medical profession. We were looking forward to this trip, haven’t been to...

    Adding an awning over or on the slideout?

    LCI used a special fastener they have for that purpose. Contact LCI and ask about that. I know when mine was installed the crew was talking about that, & the designer told them to use a certain fastener designed for that wall. I believe the Aluminum frame forms a perimeter around the outside of...

    Adding an awning over or on the slideout?

    Contact LCI, they make one just for this application. I had one installed on my last coach by LCI in 2017 at the National Rally. There is a battery pack in the arm by the stairway, operating switch in that arm and comes with a battery charger. No wires to run or switches to add inside your...

    Removing and Replacing Exterior Steps

    I agree with post #6. I installed them on my last coach, them removed and reinstalled on our new coach. You can add or subtract steps to your coach, I added 1, so we now have 5 steps instead of the original 4. I believe they also have a 2 and 3 step model. They come in 2 widths, I believe 27.5“...

    New owners concerned about quality

    Mary Frances160, I agree with you. I have a 2019 3760EL that had a lot of issues that first year. They were all taken care of by Heartland, but they should not have been there in the first place. I had a 2011 Big Country 3450TS and the quality of the build, in my opinion, was much better. I know...

    Installing a water transfer pump

    I do not have to switch anything. I just use the normal city water fill setting. The pump I use is the same type you have as your house pump in your coach, nothing different. I set this up in my last coach and transferred it to this coach, been using this setup for years now, & it works perfect...
