I have the Westlakes on my new 2019 3760EL Big Horn and if they are as good as the 2 sets of Sailun S637's I've ridden on for the last 8 years on my 2011 3450TS Big Country, I'll be extremely happy. The Sailun S637 may be a Chinese tire, but I will put them up against a Goodyear any day. I had...

I have the 3:73 gears and have had no problems towing in the hills. When I brought mine, Ford did not give you an option, long bed crew cab diesel was a 3:73 gear set period. I seem to remember seeing something, somewhere on fuel economy between 3:73 vs 4:10 gears and it was like 1 mpg...

The one I received with my 2019 Big Horn was for a Landmark. We do have a lot better and more accurate information on this forum, than from the factory. This forum has been a great resource for all Heartland owners, keep up the great work of of keeping everyone informed on problems, and even...

Picked up our new 2019 Big Horn 3760EL on Monday 9 April. Everything went smoothly. The only odd thing to me was the Queen Bed Option that we ordered didn't come with a small night stand on Right Side of the bed. When we ordered our 2011 Big Country 3450TS we also ordered the Queen Bed Option...

On the new Big Horn I ordered, I ordered the Deluxe Slide Topper set. I was told they have heavier material and heavier springs than the standard ones, so they do not make as much noise, and hold up better. I had never heard of Deluxe Toppers, but they are an option on the Big Horn, so I wonder...

I ordered my Big Horn through Lakeshore. I'm also concerned with lack of dealers. I hope if I need warranty work I can go to General RV which is 30 miles away, Lakeshore is 200 miles away. Gary

Question for J.B. I have ordered a 2019 Big Horn 3760EL, & my dealer says it is supposed to come off the line on 2 April 2018, and I will pick it up on 9 April 2018. Do we as Heartland Owners & Club Members have a Guardian Angel at the factory who can follow our new coach? I though I would ask...

Try dinosaurelectronics.com they may have something for you. Hockster

I ordered my 2019 Big Horn 3760EL this afternoon. I will pick it up in April when I get home from Snow Birding in Alabama. Next up will be Disc Brakes from Performance Trailer Braking. I sent Kelly a back channel message and hope it was sent, I always have a problem trying to send messages...

Jim, I did say this decision was made from over Tom's head, didn't mean to imply that this was Tom's decision. I realize production issues do arise, but would like to have ordered the unit with Disc Brakes instead of an after market install. I guess the after market maybe a better deal on price...

In reference to TomM in post #195, I was just informed by my salesman John, at Lakeshore RV in Muskegon, Michigan that Disc Brakes are no longer an option on the Big Horn. He called the factory a half hour ago, because of my question about ordering Disc Brakes on a new coach. This apparently...

God willing Marlene & Gary will be there. Hockster

Reservation made on 21 April 2017. Arrive 11 June Depart 18 June 2018 Hockster

I had one added to my living room slide at the National Rally in Goshen last year. I purchased it from Lippert Componets at their rally booth. It was around $850.00 installed. The interesting thing about the install was the man who installed it for us was also the man who designed it. It took...

La Quinta is the one I'm looking into in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The parking lot looks like I should have no problem, and they had the highest reviews, and free pets. Looks like many of you like La Quinta and have experience with them. That's great to know. Hockster

Was in this same situation about 7 years ago, with sub zero temps. No ice or snow on Rig but slides were frozen shut. I have same problem as Jim this year, and will not even attempt to open slides for fear of damaging something or not getting the slides back in. The weather here has been...

Ewing RV Repair (mobile) owner: Mike Ewing 251-508-3102 Foley, Alabama I have personally used this gentleman, great service. I have recommend him to friends in the RV park, and everyone very happy with the quailty of his work. Hockster

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone in the Heartland Family from Gary, Marlene, Molly, & Michigan, for those on the road, safe travels.

Jim, thanks for the information on Rick. He was such a likable and out going person. We always enjoyed talking to him, and Blanca. R.I.P. Rick, you've earned it. You will be missed. Our condolences to Blanca. Marlene & Gary Hock

Both shirts XL Men's please. Thank You. Gary/Marlene Hock

I agree with Bob.jr. That is the same thing I did. I cleaned it good with Denatured Alcohol let dry and applied the 4" Gorilla Tape. I applied 3 layers, 1st one centered over the cut, then layers 2 & 3 from half way point on 1st piece in each direction from there. You will have a nice wide...

Dan Mayer is the voice of reason, he knows exactly what he is talking about, listen to him. The circuit protective device is there to protect the wire, not the load. Most motors have a built in thermal protector built in to protect them from overcurrent. If you upgrade the breaker, you must...

I agree with Old Cranky, that's what I did, works great. I painted it Black to match the trailer frame, don't even notice it. Hockster

I have to replace the keypad also. I purchased mine at the Virginia rally, so it's an older one. The parts are on order, $21.97 total. Hockster

I had mine replaced in Goshen by Heartland. I could not figure out what caused it. It does look like it's melting, gets really deformed and sticky. I was thinking it was something I had done wrong. I wash the rig with Dawn dish soap and treat with Silicon. Now I know others are having same...

In any written brochures look for the term, Big Rig Sites. If you don't see that in the write up call the park and ask if they have Big Rig Sites. A pull thru will sometimes work, but I've seen some short pull thru sites also. Something else I've run across is you tell them your trailer length...

I use a 12" diameter Lube Plate made by Reese, which is the size recommended by Reese for my hitch, which is the Signature Series. I don't have the part number handy but I do carry a spare with me also. I had to order mine because I've only seen the 10" in RV stores. I also Lubricant the King...

This is really a fantastic upgrade & easy to install. We ordered ours at the National Rally in Goshen. These should be standard equipment on all new coaches. Love them. Hockster

I will weigh in here with our experience with the power steps. My wife has a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer with the Power Step Option. We originally leased this vehicle new, & when lease was up, we purchased it. This is a nice option, but make sure to lubricate them a couple times a year. We live in...

I know exactly what you are describing. I spent 25 years at the Saint Clair Power Plant of DTE Energy South of Saint Clair, Michigan. We had 6 High Voltage Hi Lines that left the plant to go across Country. We had 4 of them that were 120,000 volts & 2 were 345,000 volts. They crossed over areas...

Use the conduit and 4 #6 THHN Copper wires, cheapest and best way to go, great protection for wire. UF (underground) is very expensive, and not approved for open work, you would need USE cable (service entrance) cable for open work. Use 1 Black, 1Red, 1 White 1 Green # 6 THHN Copper Wire. I...

I have had Verizon now for about 8 years, switched from ATT because of coverage issues, if you travel, Verizon is the way to go. I change to unlimited for Winter months ( mobile hotspot ) because RV Park WiFi has not been that great, and change back when I return home. One adage to remember...

I have a 2011 F-350 and I do not need it. I just go to the Electric over Hydraulic setting on Factory Controller. I'm using the Hydra Star (formerly Carlisle) Hydraulic Brake Actuator which works great. This is the same Actuater MORRyde uses. Hockster

Contact Heartland. I purchased one from the Factory while at the Goshen Rally. I went to Elkhart and picked it up. I got both pieces, inner and outer that fit perfect, used the same holes, do drilling. Mine had a couple cracks that I had repaired over the years & I finally decided to replace it...

Hi Chipper, by all means if y'all are that close, stop by for a few days, January & Feburary are usually booked, but in March the Snowbirds start heading North and sites start to open up. That's when the folks from Northen Alabama start heading South. The park owners are from the Foley area and...

Yes Jim we did cancel Tiki RV & the bridge walk. I thought Marlene contacted Claudia yesterday, but I could be mistaken. We had the whole month of August and first week of September all scheduled and had to dump all 5 weeks of reservations. Such is life. Everything with us will be fine in long...

Hi from Michigan, and Welcome to the Heartland Club. Marlene & I spend the Winters in L.A. at Anchors Aweigh RV Resort in Foley, Alabama. We love the area and the people, this Winter will be our 8th year in L.A. For those not associated with Alabama, when someone in the area mentions LA, it's...

Do to some recently discovered serious health issues, Marlene and I have had to cancel the Traverse City Rally. We look forward to next year and Poncho's Pond, where we already have our reservation. Have a great Rally Y'all. Hockster

Do to some just discovered serious health issues Marlene and I have had to cancel the Wisconsin Dells rally. We were really looking forward to this Rally because neither of us have ever been to Wisconsin, but our health is more important. We will be back on the Rally Circuit next year. Have a...

I had one installed on my coach by Lippert at the rally and I love it. Completely self contained, has a plug in battery charger for the battery contained in awning arm. Battery charge good for 22 to 25 operations. Switch on side of awning arm for operating. Check with LCI, because you may still...
