    921 leds don't fit socket

    Hi, We have a 2013 North Trail 21FBS Caliber edition. We had the "Bright" idea to change the 921 type 12volt light bulbs to LEDs. Bought a 6 pack of 921 replacements from Camping World. Lo and Behold, when we got the old bulbs out (It was tough to get them out), there's no way the replacements...

    More solid support for the Shower floor.

    Hi, We have a 2013 North Trail Caliber Edition 21 FBS. The floor of the shower around the drain has no support! As a result, the drain pipe where it attaches to the drain broke and caused leaking. I feel that this design could be greatly improved. I've braced the floor as good as I can, but...

    I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. I can't figure out what you're talking about.

    North Trail A Frame dimensions

    Hi, I'll be taking delivery of a 2013 NT21FBS next month. I preparation for purchasing a WD hitch with sway control, I was wondering if any one could tell me the size of the a frame to the hitch?

    Thanks for the responses guys. I'll probably get me one of those "EAZ-lifts" just to be safe & keep the wife calm.

    North Trail - Load Leveling hitch? yes/no

    Hi, I'll be picking up my new 2013 NT21FBS Caliber Edition in the next few weeks. I'll be pulling it with the same Ford F250 Superduty Diesel that I've been using to tow my 2008 Big Country. I'm wondering about the consensus on whether I will need to use a load leveling hitch or sway bar on...

    Carrier front AC tripping circuit breaker

    Hey, You guys were exactly right. I took the cover off my breaker box, & the black wire from the breaker for the AC was very loose. It pulled right out of the clamp on the breaker. I reinserted it, tightened it down good, & fixed my problem. Thanks

    Height of Unit with 2nd Air

    Hi, The dealer installed a carier high profile AC unit in the bedroom of our 2008 BC 3300 RL. We have measured from the top of the front AC using a 2x4 & level to the ground & measure 13'7". We make it a policy to not try going under anything less than 14'.

    Carrier front AC tripping circuit breaker

    Here in Texas my dealer recommended adding an additional AC for the bedroom, so we did and it worked fine. It is a Carrier Air V Standard Unit. However, since you need a 50 amp hookup to use both AC's it hasn't had much use. Now that we have the rig on the road and are able to plug into 50...

    Slide Toppers

    The dealer included "Carefree of Colorado" slide awnings with our 2008 BC 3300rl, so I don't know what the cost is. I have no complaints about the operation, but they do flap in the wind, which I assume any brand will do if the wind is strong enough. We are full timers, so, when we are going...

    Regrets Hi Jay, It is with deep reget that I have to report that Debbie & I won't be able make the rally in Spring. I had surgery on my driving foot last week, & I'm not allowed to drive for 3 to 4 weeks. Debbie doesn't have confidence in handling the rig yet, so we'll have to bow out this...

    E-mail Fraud

    Be aware that these scams can appear to come from any bank, credit card co. or financial instituion. I've received them apparently from companies I don't even have an account with. They just do a mass mailing & if they get a 1% response they hit paydirt. Can't believe every thing in your...

    Satelite jacks

    Thanks Guys, That makes perfect sense. It would make even more sense if it went to the bedroom. I can confirm that the rear connector goes to the entertainment center. One reason that Directv won't work on a particular tv is if you are trying to send the signal from the receiver to the tv on...

    Satelite jacks

    I have a 2008 Big Country. In the docking station I have one coaxial connection for cable, but two connections for satelite. I find one satelite connector inside the rig. Does any one know where the other satelite connector connects to, or what it's there for? :confused:

    Reese 18K Signature Series - Advice?

    Why? I have a 16k sliding hitch in my F250 6 foot bed only because the previous owner had it. We have the 3300 RL Big Country. I have never used the slidding feature, & I really don't see the need to. The sharper you back in, the more stress it puts on your tire sidewalls & axels. I've never...

    12v Outlet

    Don't know about the Big Horns, but my 2008 Big Country 3300rl has a 12v outlet in the tv cubby in the bed room. From what I've read though, there doesn't seem to be a standard location. Good luck

    TV and sound system

    Thanks every one for your input. I suspected that I would have to do some patching. It looks like it's going to be a pain to get to the back of the tv. I wonder why they don't just do this at the factory. :confused:

    TV and sound system

    I'm just curious. Is there a way to play the TV sound through the DVD/Radio sound system? I've had this 3300rl for about three weeks now & I've noticed that there appears to be an output on the TV & an input on the DVD/ Radio, but they aren't conected. Just wondering

    New Big Country 3300RL

    Good deal! I hope you'll be pleased with it. The truck seems to be a good match for the 3300. It's the 4 speed automatic and I think the 3.97 rearend. It has no trouble doing 60 - 65. I don't usualy use the cruise control because I can control the down shifting better. I put an S&B performance...

    New Big Country 3300RL

    Hello All. Finally, after a year and a half, we have sold our house in Duncanville, Texs. We then took delivery of our new 2008 Big Country 3300RL on Oct 19. We are now on our shakedown cruise to Galveston Island State Park & Kemah, near Houston. We have been mostly pleased so far, but felt I...

    Are the Big Country 3300 RL's available yet

    Just wondering if Heartland has begun the production run on the 3300 RL yet. We have seen the 3075 RL at ExploreUSA RV Supercenter in the Dallas area & like the Big Country, but think we like the 3300 more. The RV Center says you haven't begun the run on the 3300s yet. We are looking forward...
