fireflipper Well I am sure that every one will have a different opinion on this matter. I for one am very happy with the Goodyear 614's. I put around twenty thousand miles on the first set and still had more than half the tread left, no tire problems. The second set had grooves worn in them...

Fireflipper Kognito I have a infra red temp gauge and on my last trip the temp of the 614's after traveling for several hundred miles at around 65 mph was just above 140. I always keep the pressure at the max 110 psi due to the weight I am carrying.

Fireflipper Kathyo We have the splendide combo with the vent. It takes awhile to dry the clothes but like you, my wife does not like the dirty washers in the campgrounds. Se has found that if you take the clothes out a couple of times during the drying cycle and shake them out a bit, it does...

Fireflipper 5catfam It is an easy add on. If you feel comfortable about drilling a hole in the side of the truck for the plug, the wiring is color coded to match on most 7 pin plugs. I simply used splice connectors in the wiring harness under the truck and taped everything back up good and...

Fireflipper I know this will not make the bugs go away, but from living in Fl. for forty years I have found that some roaches will come in by way of grocery bags, your pants anything they can cling to. The boric acid seemed to work best for us.

Fireflipper Jack, make sure you put some sort of heat shield above the fire place. Some models get hot on the top and it could dry the wood out and start a fire. I would hate to see someone lose something that they love. Especially the second home.

Fireflipper Jack is right on this one. I have a 2005 Grand Canyon and that the spring shackles and wheels were rolling under the fiver by accident while in South Dakota. Limped to R.V. Capitol in Elkhart and Lippert did the repair. Ate up four new tires before the problem was found. Everyone...

Fireflipper Katkens Had two friends pick kup their new Big Countrys from R.V.s For LEss this past weekend. Spent four days with them in Pigeon Forge. They love them. Good luck with yours and I am sure they will have plenty of questions when they finally join the forum.

Fireflipper This was straight from the factory. They still making the Landmarks, just changing the models and the floor plans are changing to the side isle instead of the center isles. I saw one at the factory about a month ago. I was not real impressed with the side isle , but it did allow for...

Fireflipper Be sure to check out the Crazy Horse monument jsut outside of Custard S.D. It is really worth the price of admission. It is best to go about mid afternoon, have dinner in the resturant and stay for the laser light show around 9:30 P.M.

Fireflipper I was told by a frien who changes oil for fleet trucks that the new oil is also suppose to compensate for the lower sulfur in the fuel, since sulfur is a lubricant. It will be some time before the real world tests are in to say what will really happen to the older engines, and this...

Fireflipper I used Direct whiel fulltiming and got very good setting it up in about five minutes. I did find out that it will not work when you get to far north, if I remember right it was in Edmondton Alberta, Canada. You can not point the dish far enough south to pick up the satalites, unless...

Fireflipper David It is easy to change but I did not read anyone telling you to get a strap type oil filter wrench. It makes it alot easier to get the filter off. Also remember to diconnect the wire from the bottom of the filter prior to unscrewing the filter. It is a quick connection and...

Fireflipper You guys are just jealous that you don''t have that much money.

Fireflipper Packer You will not be alone for long. I have two friends who will take delivery of their Big Countrys next week and spending a couple of days in Knoxville. I am sure they will have many questions as this is the first fiver for both of them.

Fireflipper The newer stud finders work on wood and metal. Lightly mark where the studs are and use a small finish nail to check for any obstuctions where you want to put the hole. Also the bettter brand stud finders will show if there is any wiring in the area, if it is hot.

Fireflipper HI Pulltab Just wanted to say hello and glad I met you at the park in Elkhart. We are home now and back to work, what a bummer.

Fireflipper I'm Sitting in Absoroka Bay RV park in Cody Wy. and a new Bighorm pulls in the row behind me. I introduced myself to Tom and Judy, informed them about the Forum and hope they join. Have not seen another Heartland product since I left Utah more than a week ago. One more day in...

Fireflipper Retyred, contact the factory, they should be able to get the manuals for you.

Fireflipper Gary, can you tell me what the dealer fix was? Mine has been done three times. The last time it lasted about three thousand miles, I now have 64 thousand miles on the truck. GM customer service told me they would contact me when a permenant fix was found. I have heard nothing. I...

Fireflipper Saw a Bighorn headed east on I-70 at mile marker 35 in Colorado yesterday, could not get service last night, ergo the late post. Met Neil, a Bighorn owner, in an RV park at Moab, Utah today. He is not a forum member, did not even know about us. I clued him in and hope he will...

Fireflipper Spotted a Landmark in Kingfisher Oklahoma for sale, did not stop it was on the side of main street. Now in Russell Kansas heading west on I-70 toward Denver today.

Fireflipper Bighorn3600 I had problem with my rims, aluminum. Contact Tredit as Jim suggested they sent me a new set of rims which were from a different manufacturer, don't know who. I have just replaced the tires after about 20 thousand miles, stayed with the Goodyear G614's. They cost me...

Fireflipper RickNB I have an 05 Grand Canyon, the tank had to be braced up by the dealer. He put two 2" iron L braces attached to the frame running under the tank. No more sagging.

Fireflipper Dennylm It seems that all your questions are pretty well covered except the rims. They need to match the weight rating of the tire. If you move up to a higher rating on the tires make sure that the rims support the smae amount of wieght.

Fireflipper Uncle Rog Please feel free to hurt my feelings. If I can get them somewhere on the road next month and save some dough it would definitly be worth the hurt. Besides I can tell my dealer that I changed my mind, and to send them back to the distributor.

Fireflipper tdharley Thanks, my dealer never mentioned a rebate, will check with him in the AM.

Fireflipper Cleaner did not work with my GE DVD player, had to send the unit back to the factory for a reprograming. Cost me 88 bucks, what a scam.

Fireflipper Bluegrassman I have checked around and my tire dealer said that the MIchilens do not come in a G rated. Bought the Goodyears. Are you replacing your tires due to wear or time? I have put about 20,000 miles on the OEM Goodyears and I am replacing them before I head out west in...

Fireflipper tdharley Are you refering to the Goodyear G614 RST's 235 x 85R 16 . I just ordered two and the cost mounted and balanced will be about 550. How does that compare to what you have?

Fireflipper Chipster I have the Pullrite Super Slide. I drive a Chev 3500 dually with 8 foot bed. The sliding hitch was from my old truck and I did not want to invest in a new hitch. It works without even thinking about it, automatically. They are a little expensive but if it gives you peace...

Fireflipper Duke The slide out have a stop position moving in or out. This is when the room is seated against the wall. There is an adjustment to align the room up and down, side to side and in and out distance. I would check with another dealer to see if you can find what you are looking...

Fireflipper drk The aluminum rims are not welded. They are forged as one piece, but they do crack. I had one that cracked and another that formed a pin hole and started leaking. Call the factory they will arrange to get you a new rim.

Fireflipper Crazyted I know it would be a little drive, but call RV's For Less in Knoxville Tn. You can go online at RVsForLess.net. I quarrantee you he will work with you to get what you want at a much better price then anyone else. It will be worht the drive. Call Butch at the number on...

Fireflipper Uncle Rog Don't buy a wheel until you check with the warrenty dept. I had to replace one set of steel and than a set of aluminum rims. The manufacturer shipped the rims to me directly and also reimbursed me for the remounting. My fiver was under a year old, but I do not know...

Fireflipper phranc If you have the rain sensor there is no need to put a cover on it. That would defeat the rain sensor, but allow you to still use the fan when it is raining. Mine works great, the slightest rain and it closes automatically. You may want to check and make sure that the...
