I agree Cheryl.....the more I thought about it.....that time will be better. We can get there early and check out everything before we need to help out!

Hey Cheryl, Just checking the forum and see that you would prefer we work from 3-7. That's fine if that time works better for you. We will definately have to plan earlier next year!

Hi Cheryl, We are planning to help out at the Hershey show. We have already booked our campsite at Eagle's Peak. We are coming in on Friday September 17th. I would say that we would be available to help out on either Saturday or Sunday. Just let us know what works. Before we left our...

Thanx again Cheryl and Jim for a wonderful job with the Rally! We had a great time and look forward to the next one! Just made our camping reservations for the Hershey RV show. As we get closer to the time.....we will be in touch on when you want us to help out. Let's just hope that Bob...

Not all by themselves......we were there with them until Monday afternoon. We did leave them with no running water. Pipe in the campground broke. Never heard if the water came back on later in the day!!!

Their is shopping at Shady Maple.....Haven't been in awhile but remember shopping at a place like Michael's. I actually have been wanting to get up there.....looking for some straw flowers. I seem to remember that it was much like a Farmer's market. It will give everyone something to do...

Hey Cheryl......the Blues Festival starts at 2 and goes until 7. Have you checked out their web-site. You can listen to the bands on this site. They sound pretty good. Actually heard one of the bands about a month ago, where we were having dinner. In case you want to check this out, the...

Cheryl, If you are going to Spring Gulch on Saturday you should think about checking out the Jazz festival in Elverson. You won't be that far from there. If you decide to go....let us know and we can hook up! So far they are predicting good weather for Saturday....should be a nice day for a...

Hey Jim and Cheryl, We're going to the show on Saturday. We'll stop by your campsite about 6pm. We'll bring a dish to pass and something to throw on the grill. Sorry you'll have to wait until next year's rally for another batch of baby-backs!! Bob and Denise

I lost 3 stone last year - being able to safely climb the the ladder was one of my incentives!! Fewer ribs and more salads did the trick. On the subject of archaic measures: I used to be the correct weight for my height when I was 0.36 rods tall, but alas I've shrunk to 0.35 rods (a rod is...

One vote for Raystown lake with jet skis and pontoon boats. Never been there but heard great things about the area. We're always ready to do something on the water... but probably not on a Segway!!

We also installed the Wal Mart Hunter thermostat and really like it - very easy to adjust and works well. My wall is kinda narrow but it fit fine. As stated above, it uses batteries for power. Here are a couple of links on the intallation. http://www.rverscorner.com/hunterstat.htm...

Cheryl and Jim, We're back home and finally unpacked. Boy did we have a lot of stuff after 15 days on the road!! Had a great time at our first rally - thanks for your hard work in organizing it!! It was great to meet so many new Heartland owners and make new friends. See you at the...

We've camped a few times at Hartwick Pines State Park near Grayling. This is a really nice park - one of the few state parks with full hookups. In fact we'll be there the first week of August. Lots of old growth tall pine trees, centrally located about an hour from Macinac or Traverse City area.

Hi Cheryl, We're really looking forward to the rally. I'll bring my Bradley smoker and will smoke up a mess of baby back ribs. My dry rub recipe is said to be the best this side of Memphis. Hope you guys had a good time at the big rally. We wished we could have been there, but we've...

Hi Cheryl and Jim, Our site is Q-58. Looking forward to meeting everyone! Bob and Denise

Hi Cheryl, not sure - the email confirmation didn't indicate which site. I'll check and let you know.

Cheryl and Jim, Denise called today and booked a site for Fri, Sat and Sunday, Aug 14-17. This weekend comes on the tail end of a 2 week camping trip for us. We'll be coming in from Northern Michigan on the way home. Really looking forward to it - thanks for putting it together!! Let us...

Hi Jim, We'd also be interested in the chapter and rally (Downingtown PA). We'll keep the dates open. People tell me I make pretty good baby back ribs, so if it fits with Cheryl's plan I'll bring my smoker. Bob and Denise

I have a Bradley Smoker which I often take with me in the pickup bed. It's about the size of a small refrigerator and fits well in the pickup on it's side. It's electric and uses wood "pucks". Works great for ribs, brisket, chicken, and is really easy to use. www.bradleysmoker.com But the...

Swivelwheel Just saw an advert for Swivelwheel in Trailer Life, a single wheel trailer. Looks like a good way to tote a scooter, ATV, golf cart, etc. Anyone have one of these? http://www.cruiserlift.com/swivelwheel.html

I had a similar problem. Turned out to be a leak at the water heater inlet line, which I fixed easily by hand tightening. Check behind the access panel in the storage compartment.

I pull with a short-bed Dodge 3500. No problems so far. I have a Reese slider hitch but haven't had to use the slider so far.

On our '08 3600RL, the tv swings out toward the kitchen, but you can also push it in to angle it more toward the recliners. I wedge a small card in the cabinet to hold the frame in place when I push it in.

I did the same thing as Jimtoo and it works great. Attached a bit of foam on both sides of the board so I can wedge the board into the opening to ensure it doesn't slip out on rocky roads.

We have a 2008 3400RL (picked it up a few months ago) and have been very happy so far. Quality is good - only a few very small problems which I fixed myself. We compared the 3400RL and 3055 and like the size, storage space and floor plan of the 3400 a bit more. We tow it with a 1 ton Dodge...

I have a 3400RL and just bought a Vizio 20" LCD VSC 20V1 from Walmart.com for $198. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5585301 Dimensions with Stand: 20 x 8 x 18. Fits perfectly :) I plan to remove the stand and mount it on a swivel. The only problem with this TV is...

I noticed that the Heartland website has several new pics of the Bighorn 5th wheel. It looks like they changed the entertainment center (including 26 inch LCD TV), dining room chairs, marbelized shower, bedroom furniture, upgraded countertops, etc. I like the new look and upgrades. Anyone...

Nice pictures. We have a 3400 coming in a couple of months and I will have to try the screen door opener trick. We have a 9 year old golden with a face almost as gray. I can see where her favorite spot is going to be!! Is that the stock TV in the entertainment center? It looks like a...

Ray, Other than the shower seat, are there any other changes in your unit relative to the models labeled as 2006? I've got a 2007 3400RL on order, probably will be built later this year (depending on when my dealer places the order) and am wondering what other changes might be in store.

nscaler2, thanks for the data. Bighorn 3055 pin weight of 2310 empty is 250 more than advertised (2060). And once the wife loads those shoe racks in the bedroom closet...

nscaler, can you post your actual weights? Truck, trailer and pin?

sailorand, this is exactly the kind of info I'm looking for. It tells me that I will likely be 4-500 lbs over with a Chevy 2500 D/A, EC, 4x2 and a Bighorn 3055. I see that lots of people are towing ok with similar rigs, so with a Prodigy, airbags, etc this might work... so I may decide to go...

Thanks for the replies so far - I'm learning a lot about this stuff. I have looked at the Rally Weigh-in sheet - I wish it had model numbers to know which data are for model 3055's. I realize I'm on the edge, thus the desire for real numbers to see if I'm going over, and if so how much. I...

I have a 3055 coming in Feb 2007 and am in the market for a used truck. I've settled on Chevy/GMC Duramax and really do not want a dually because it's... well.... too wide. And my wife won't drive it. I want to spend about 25K for a 2003/4 2500, probably 2WD SB EC. I've been doing some...

We'll, we pulled the trigger on a 3055. I think the floor plan will work well for us. The 3000RL is rare (I only found 2 in the midwest/east) and unpopular, and I'm told it's being discontinued. We asked the dealer to wait a few months and order later this year so we take delivery in time...

Anyone have experience with Media Camping Ctr in Media PA? They are my closest Heartland dealer. I also plan to check out Lakeshore in MI and RVsforless in TN, but prefer a local dealer.

We've finally settled on Bighorn after looking at Cedar Creek, Montana, Titanium, Sunnybrook... Bighorn offers the most quality and extras for the money. We want a 30 footer, but have not been able to see either the 3055 or the 3000 at our dealer. My wife likes the counter-space on the...
