Is it a Standard output truck or a H/O? Makes a difference. The S/O trucks came with the 47re and the H/O came with the 48re. The S/O was rated at 460 tq. The H/O trucks rated at 555 tq. I had a standard output. The engine tag under the hood will tell you the specs. The truck and...

I've had my front cap painted as a result of fading (heartland picked up the bill for that) and my rear cap needs painted, but I'm working on the side walls. I've done a 2x2 section with good results, but the applicators were used up with the black junk coming off after just that small...

It seems as if no one looks in this area of the forum. haha. Worth a shot though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have to do a thorough de oxidizing and wax on my Big Country. First step is oxidation remover, then cleaner wax and finally pure wax. All Meguiars product per the heartland service department. They sent me a flier from the gelcoat manufacturer that specified these steps and these products...

Ok. That is always what I check for, but didn't know they were referred to as weather checking. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So what exactly is weather checking? Cracks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 2011 big country that came from the factory with sailun s637's in 235/85/16. I'm still running these same tires and estimate that the camper has about 10000 miles on it. I see no issues with the tires but have read that camper tires need to be replaced around the five year mark...

He is risen! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That sure doesn't sound right to me. If you have equalizer shackles, the rotation of the axles lets both axles continue to ride level regardless of the pitch of the trailer. Now if the axles were fixed, I could certainly agree with that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe he was referring to the truck height would lower when the camper is hooked to it. The pin weight of the camper will settle the rear down a few inches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We traded for a new team mega cab dually and needed to find a new place to haul the bikes rather than in the front of the bed as we did in our old long bed. Did a lot of researching to try and find a suitable hitch for the rear. I called and spoke to Lippert and almost bought their boat hitch...

That really stinks. That's awful for you to have that happen with your brand new coach Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have fun! Texas Tech is visiting the Mountaineers tomorrow. I hope for a better outcome this time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: New tow rig Nice truck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It really doesn't matter, because I'm sure the truck will do whatever you need it to, but where are you seeing that? 31210 is the highest tow rating for the 3500. The highest I see for a 5500 is 30300. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 3500's actually have the highest tow rating of any of the Rams. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@kjm1970 do you have any pics with the trailer hooked up to the truck? Maybe up close pics of the hitch setup? In the photo above the pin looks to really far back on the truck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because the new trucks are so nice. Plus I thought I was at a crucial point of being able to still get good money out of my truck. It was a pretty desirable truck with the 5.9 and only 75k miles on a Laramie dually. I tried to sell mine locally prior to trading it in, but no one I spoke to...

The old truck did fine after I turned it up with a programmer, but my two buddies that I travel with are pulling with new duramax's and I always end up leading the convoy and could tell I was hurting them on the steeper pulls. They would never say so, but I know what it's like to lose your head...

Looks like the one I have in my garage that now has 367 miles. So far I love it. SOOOO much nicer than the 03 Laramie I traded in for it. The trucks have came light years ahead in comfort and features in 13 years. Can't wait to pull my Big Country with it in the spring. Excited to see...

I really appreciate it. Already shopping for an electric hoist to mount above the bed where I park in the garage to install and remove! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Big Country has the 1621 also. Looks like plenty of room to me. Good deal. Thanks guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you use the puck system with the picture frame adapter (#4469)? If so, any issues with height between the fifth wheel and bed sides? I ended up purchasing a superglide 24k from a fellow heartland owner. Should be shipping this week. Thanks for all the advice so far. Sent from my...

snoking, is this the kit you used? Did you install or did you have it done by the dealer? PART #82213980AB This may be the most cost effective way to go and doesn't put rails in my truck, which is a good thing.

I'm a proud new owner of a 3500 megacab dually. Been researching all I can about what type of hitch to get for my fifth wheel. I have read all the posts I can find. I see some that say you must have a slider. I have all the posts that say I have slider and never use it. My 5th Wheel is a...

I am soooooo glad to find out that I am not the only goober to have ever done this. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone and swore my camping buddies that witnessed it to secrecy! My mishap happened during setup. I hooked up the water hose to the campground faucet an then to the camper and...

We are currently spending a few days in Pigeon Forge. Took a walk around the park this morning and Heartland is well represented. My Big Country, a Landmark, a Big Horn and an Elkridge. Mostly there are motorhomes in here. Of the fifth wheels here, Heartland is the majority.

i spoke to Heartland CS and they told me it was a maintenance issue in slides to have them adjusted and needed to take it to a dealer. I have never had any of my slides do this in the past and I have read the instructions on the lippert site to adjust it. I really don't want to take it to a...

today, while unloading the BC from our vacation, I noticed that the street side slide out in the bunkroom was not flush against the wall at the top. When I inspected a little closer, the slide rocks in and out if you push at the top. The curbside slide is the same way, but not as bad. Both...

mine is the same way, too short. Not a half inch, but it sure doesn't fit flush against the wall.

After a week in the South Carolina sun in our new Big Country, I have a couple of things to complain about and need to know how to remedy them. Before I go on complaining, the list of great things about our Big Country are much longer than these complaints. I can't tell you how many folks slowed...

my drawer under the fridge does not want to close all the way when it is loaded? I have to hold constant pressure down on the front of the drawer for it to close. Unfortunately, my wife does not have the "touch" and it stays open two inches until I come in and close it. How do I adjust this...

do you have a 3494? Do you have the recessed area on the front wall of the bunkroom?

You were correct. I pulled the unit out and voila! even the red tag that says - Remove prior to installation or the CD mechansim will not work - was still there. whoops. Must have been distracted when they installed this one.

ouch! luckily, I didn't have one of those experiences, but it sure would have been easy to do had I not been so paranoid about such a thing.

Dear Heartland, Please put some warning stickers or some type of notification on the 3494 of the thickness of the wall where you mount the flat screen in the rear bunkroom. The recessed area looks great and is needed to get a flatscreen mounted and not interfere with the slideout. However...

where did you get the straps? I need to purchase some for my tv's in the front and rear bedrooms. Thanks!

MACDAV - Don't feel bad man. I asked the exact same question before purchasing my Big Country. Most of us want to be informed with real life experiences even if we see folks pulling the big campers with the same type of truck as you drive. I went up 4K pounds and 8 feet in length just a month...
