I have a problem with my fresh water system. Using the water in the tank with the valve turned to normal, the pump will cycle about every 10 seconds with all faucets closed. I have not found any leaks. If I switch the valve to city, it works fine. I mean the pump will provide water pressure and...

Russ and Fred, two friends, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems. One day Russ didn't show up. Fred didn't think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something ...But after Russ hadn't shown up for a week or so, Fred really...

I dumped the tanks. I always put some water into the black tank after flushing using the tank flush. Sure enough I got distracted and forgot about it. Setting inside my wife says "I smell something." She looked in the bath room and screamed, "the sewer". I immediately knew what was wrong...

I push the switch and hear a click but the awning does not move. Does anyone know where the fuse is for this thing? Trailer is a 2012 Big Country, 3450 TS.

My BC 3450 TS has a rain gutter on the curb side slide. It is about 5 or 6 inches above the windows. The two slides on the street slide do not have this. This is just not mine, I have seen the same on other 3450 units. Does anyone know why it is just on this one slide and not on the other two?

My fresh water tank is leaking, again. it was repaired two months ago by plastic welding but it did not hold. It is cracked where the tank extends over the frame to hold it up. The repair shop told me not to travel with a full tank. There was no warning in the literature that came with my Big...

My Big Country is 2 years old and I had to have a new roof installed. No, there was not a hole in the roof but the condensation from the A/C's ran beneath the rubber and rotted the wood. It seems the A/C's were not tightened down enough. This was both, the factory installed and dealer...

When I was at the Arkansas Rally Billy Summit, the new Arkansas chapter President, told me about a RV service facility in Mountain Home, AR that was going to start installing the Level UP system.

While I was at the Arkansas rally this spring my water heater started leaking. After I got home I removed the wall thinking its was a fitting because I had just tightened one about a week before. To my surprise it was not a fitting and the leak was not visible but was dripping quit fast. With...

I have always been very satisfied with Customer Service, until now. In early April I ordered a new mini blind to replace one my dog chewed up. What I received was a Day-Night shade. I called customer service and informed them of the error and was told they had it in stock and would send me...

We have a 4350TS Big Country and I'm going to replace the mattress with a comfortable one. The new one will probably be thicker than the old one. I was wondering how hard it is to get the mattress into the bedroom. I do plan on cutting the king down to a queen to give more room around the...

My grey water valve, or valves, don't know which yet, is leaking. I need to cut into the underbelly to change them. I don't want to start cutting exploratory holes in the bottom so could you please tell me where to cut to find the two grey water valves? Update: I received a quick reply from...

The finish on the cabinets in our Big Country is coming off. We have the light cherry finish with the real dark stain in the deep depressions. First I noticed it on the kitchen cabinets, then in the bath and now in the bedroom. It is like the stain didn't penetrate the wood but just laid on...

I posted this in the Big Country forum but it applies to all Heartlands. I don't understand "forced options". If all units come with them because they are forced, why isn't it called standard equipment???????

The cold water shower handle is loose and I don't see how to tighten it. It is L shaped and I am stumped on how to get to the screw to tighten it up.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and remember and bless those who protect and serve and can not be with their families this day.

Trailer batteries are not charging from my vehicle Followup. They do charge when hooked to shore power but will not charge while towing with the truck. There is power at the vehicle plug but it will not go into the trailer. Any suggestions? The reason I don't think the batteries were charging...

Does any body else have excessive moisture in the Dometic 4 door refrigerator? There is so much moisture build up in ours that the vegetable drawer at the right in the bottom will get 1/2 inch of water in it on a three day weekend. The tray drain is open because I have poured water into it and...

I need to raise the front of my big Country and the hitch in my truck is as high as it will go. If I lower the pin box will the wind deflector still fit on it?

I just received the August copy of Trailer Life and on page 33 is an ad for Heartland. Shows the Landmark, Bighorn, and Big Country. The Big Country looks brown and white instead of tan. Is this just a color error in the printing or is Heartland changing the color?

About a week ago I posted about grease on my brakes as a result of too much grease in the hubs. This came from the factory this way. I am at the Heartland rally and I spoke to the Dexter representative here about this. He said they have quit using so much grease and have change the type of...

I had to replace my Blow Max tires and when I had the wheels of I thought I would just repack the bearings. I have about 3000 miles on the unit. Three of the four wheels had grease past the seal. I have never pumped grease into the zert so this was done at the factory. One had enough grease...

Luckily I noticed my tires before they failed. One had belt separation and two others cord separation. Replaced with Sailun S637 G rated tires. I'll feel much better driving to the rally now.

Arrived home today, parked in my drive and water started dripping on the drive way under the water heater. I removed the wall in the storage area and sure enough, the hot water outlet on the back of the water heater is leaking. The black pipe that screws into the aluminum tank is dripping big...

Setting up in a campground and noticed a ding on the lower right rear corner. I know it wasn't there this morning. :( ...I stopped at a Wal-Mart and then drove to a campground. I sure didn't know I hit anything. Whatever hit it was red. Didn't make a hole all the way through but a nasty...

Any Heartland owners in the Casa Grande, AZ area that would like to meet at a restaurant for a meet and greet?

I filled my fresh water tank full then left for a two day trip. We used very little water during the two days. Upon arrival I only had 1/3 of a tank of water. I did notice when I stopped at my destination that there was water that came out of the overflow drains. I am thinking that when I...

Trailer is packed and we are leaving in the morning. Will be at Casa Grande National Monument in Coolidge again. Will be our 5th year and will be working with the archaeologist instead of giving tours. Gave tours the last 4 years but the wife wanted something different this year. If you are...

Why does Heartland install such heavy chairs in the living room when weight is at a premium? They must be moved to retract the slides and it is a struggle to move them. They even have little knobs on the bottom of the ring to dig into the carpet. Lazy Boy makes a very comfortable recliner...

I have a 2012 Big Country 4350 TS. Water is getting into the underbelly. The carpet in the storage bay near the UDC is also getting wet. When filling the fresh water tank, water will flow out the drain behind the wheels on the drivers side. There is an identical drain on the passenger side...

What is the purpose of the winterization position on the water valve in the UDC? During the PDI the tech said I needed to unhook the hose at the inlet side of the water pump and install another hose to go into the antifreeze container.

Just brought my new Big Country home and used adapters to plug into 15 amp outlet in the garage. The fridge never switched over to electric. I tried other appliances and found that the main AC would not work, the TV and radio also didn't work. The second AC does work. Is this normal? At the...

Just the purchased a TC3450TS am concerned about the sewer drain being so low. Has anyone had problems of dragging the drain on the roadway? I hope I am not just paranoid about this but it is a lot lower than my previous trailer.
