thanks you guys are great. thanks for all the info and as i thought, so much to do and not enough time. definately gonna research the monument sights. I know we are doing the train ride around the rim but when i mentioned the mule ride she stated she already has experience with a mule and...

We are planning a trip from New Orleans to the grand canyon with stopovers in Sante Fe, Sedona, Tombstone and Carlsbad before coming back to New Orleans. DW is looking for any sightseeing/activities for those areas. Trying to decide whether to spend 3 days in Williams and drive thru sedona or 2...

Spent the day looking at camping world and others to no avial. I am trying to find the black gasket that goes on the outside of the 5er around the slides. Mine have dried up/cracked and when i open the slides, they stick to the slide and come off the tracks they are in. I hope i have...

only lasted a few hours and all melted by 1PM.

had a wonderful trip to Ft. Myers, Fl from New Orleans. We left last Friday with my DW driving thru Mississippi E/B on 10 near the Alabama line when she saw a Bighorn and white TV going W/B. Today, Thanksgiving, we came back W/B and saw the same bighorn and white TV traveling E/B almost in the...

Thanks for the info guys. The COE park looks good but DW says to much of a drive for her each morning to see clients. Looks like i will be staying at the KOA on Pine Island since that where most clients are located. RVparks review is what i normally use but i know they dont list all parks in...

looking for any info on rv parks in the area. i will be going on business trip for 4 days and will have my 14 yr with me. most parks i see are for ADULT Communities. Would appreciate any info for that area. All my business will be in the North fort myers area.

DW back home Wanted to thank everyone with the wind question i had, maybe should have phrased it better just didnt have quite the time when trying. DW back home now and she didnt have any problems. She followed her checklist that we made up for hooking/unhooking and with some assistance from...

Lovin the Bighorn I dont make many posts on here but had to say my two cents on my RL3600. DW and I had SOB for awhile (bought after Katrina storm) which was our first. We started using it more than what we anticipated and knew we needed a larger one. We spent about a year researching and...

goldway tire info and contacts Well, just got off the phone with the tire company. Followed Ziggy's lead and they are sending me 400 dollars for the tires which will help defray that unexpected cost. Here is the info that i found in case anyone else will need to contact them: Goldway tires...

got the tires and now home again did like you all said and bought 4 of the goodyears. couldn't pull the 5er due to one of the china bombs being split open on the sidewall. Had to drive 25 miles and buy tires then bring them back and another goodyear place 1 mile from the 5er put them on...

Really upset but also kinda happy at same time. just finished my 3400 mile trip around the east coast and then left yesterday for a campground in the area for my sons tennis tourny. We were grilling and something said take a look at the tires. These goldway tires have approx. 6500 miles on...

same here I had that problem (5er is 1 yr old now) where it was cracking in the front and then it was cracking around the screw holes. When pullin the 5er, i could actually see the door side flair fapping. I took it in as a warranty item and the rv dealer made a crude bracket to keep it from...

cherry hill/Timberlane Rv parks It was very good. we are in clarksboro nj now staying at Timberlane RV park $40. Again we the only bighorn but this place is nice also. 25 min drive to philadelphia to see independence hall and the liberty bell. Cherry Hill was real nice, the bus ride was...

we made it to cherry park rv resort in washington dc. must be over 100 rv's in the park and we the only bighorn. There is an apparently brand new landmark on the other end, but besides that no other heartlands anywhere. Really thought a park this big would have at least one or two besides...

We have been at this park for 2 days and have really enjoyed it. there are many sites to choose from and also pull-thrus. the sites are gravel but the roads are asphalt and in good shape. best of all is the metro system comes to the rv park so all of DC is accessable by bus and subway. all...

JT Stabilizers I have the JT's installed on my 3400 and yes having the back on improves it even more. I used the adapters (the triangular ones) and attached them to a crossover beam just forward of the electric gear. I found the crossover beam by undoing the sides of the underlayment and then...

special thanks to Fenner Just wanted to put online how much I appreciate you assistance on the bed. I got online just to find a patch kit after Flair said they wouldn't replace it and now Flair is sending me another bed due to your assistance. Thank You.

air mattress appreciate the replies and especially the email from James Fenner. Wasn't asking for it but Heartland replied to my post and advised me to take it to my dealer for a replacement and i appreciate it. Actually my son enjoys the air mattress compared to the old foam one so i will be...

Hello all, havent been on in a while since new orleans has been hosting everything last couple of months. Looking to see if anyone can help me fix the air mattress in our 3600RL. My son slept on it a couple of nights ago (used about 30 times so far) and in the morning it was flat. It had a...

I dont get on this forum often but read it at least twice a week. Had my 3600 for 7 months and have gone to yellowstone and over to indiana and back down to New Orleans (scuba gear optional now). We headed to San Antonio for the week of Thanksgiving. Going to see Alamo and the Riverwalk...

Thanks Scott, If i keep backing up the same way, may need more than touch up paint. thanks again for quick response.

touch up paint Scott, i just put some scratches on the rear of my 3400 and search brought me to this thread. Did you ever find the touch up paint type or the color of white to use?

my red light switch is for the electric water heater

La. Dealer in Hammond Hello, I bought my bighorn in covington from a dealer I wouldn't recommend. BUT, Kent Mitchell in Hammond, La. on I-55 is now dealing the Heartland products. They took over the warranty issues on mine and even though I didn't buy it there they have been fantastic as fas...

badlands/wall drug This place was excellant. As you all predicted, we left wall drug with bag loads of stuff and now the coffee is 5 cents but still well worth it. I would recommend the badlands/wall drug to anyone. We will be back here within two years cause if you ride a motorcycle like i...

thanks for the advice, that actually where we are going this morning. everything has been worth the drive so far and unfortunately we have only today left here, then day 1/2 drive to Evansville Ind. to see family for about a day then back to reality in New Orleans.

Made it to Grand Teton Well, we made it to grand teton. hwy 287 is a great drive through the mountains. a couple of places with 6% grade but the 5er came thru very well. Still have snow up here at the 5600 ft elevation.
