I came up with this design to have a second bedroom. Used the 4010RD foot print so that's how long it would be. Many of us older couples for one reason or another do not sleep together any longer (usually medical reasons) and this then requires the "hide-a-bed" to be used each night and that...

We are having an issue with the batteries not charging while we are towing. I have had my truck checked out by a Chevrolet dealer and they stated that there is no problem on the truck. Fuses are good and their meter shows power being supplied to the plug in the bed of the truck. I have...

HELP!!!! Anyone know where I might find a lug nut for our Big Country, or a place that could tap it out to fix the messed up threads? We are in the Gainesville, GA area our Son repacked our bearings and when starting the "last" lug nut it cross threaded. We are leaving Thursday for the SC...

Hi All, this is from Ann Parrish HOC #1158 mine and my husbands user name on the forum is navyAZ1, not sure if this is the proper thread to put this in but here goes! As most of you know at the Heartland International Rallys we have been having a program under Heartland Gives Back, known as...

I was asked to post this project for others to see, so here it is. This is my version of a DIY pull-out storage box for the storage area in our 2014 Big Country 3650RL. Being full-timers we carry a lot of stuff, and although I thought I had a pretty good packing system there were still times...

A person we met at the campground we're currently at has a 2014 Cyclone, and they had it in for some roof repairs and the dealer told them they needed to replace all 3 A/C units due to a recall. I was curious if anyone has heard about this. I went to the list of recalls here on this site and...

We have an Atwood stove (Wedgewood Vision) and the oven pilot light is way to big! My wife lit it this morning and the flame from the pilot is huge and mostly yellow in color. When we lit the burner it was fine and burned with a nice blue flame but the pilot flame was still very large and...

Should anyone of you have fiber glass damage as I did from road debris as I did on I-75 here's a way to fix it that is not only cost effective, but also looks good. The damage happened when we were headed N. on I-75 just south of Macon, GA and the 18 wheeler in front of us lost a mud flap, with...

Word of advice some of you may already know about this if you have read Jim Gratz article concerning installing slide toppers yourself. Jim stated that when ordering your slide toppers make sure the parts person also orders the "awning rail" if this is a new install. The "awning rail" is the...

I can't seem to get a satellite signal no matter what I try, plus when I turn on the TV and choose the input for the satellite the Directv menu picture is not the normal blue background with white letters but rather it is all in blacks and grays with vertical lines in it. As far as the picture...

Hi All, been having a problem with our black water tank. The toilet keeps "burping" a big air bubble back when flushed. This does not happen after I have dumped, but just a day or so and it starts and I know the tank can not be full already. I went on the roof and ran a hose down the vent...

To all our Heartland family folks, Ann and I are finally going to be able to make a camping trip now that she has pretty much recovered from both her major surgeries this year. So, any of y'all who might be in the vicinity of Royston, GA on the first weekend of August come on and join us, and...

Hi All, well it's time for a brake job on the old Big Horn, and I'm planning on completely removing the old brake assemblys and replacing them with the newer "self-adjusting" type. My question is I found a really good deal on these "Never-A-Just" assemblys at 1/2 the price of what Lippert wants...

Hi All, we have a couple of those tilt back lounge chairs like you buy at most RV stores and have a problem. These have been really good chairs but due to long exposure to the sun and weather the elastic roping that holds the seat material to the frame has degraded and some of it is breaking...

May I encourage all who can to take part in some Veteran's Day activities, and take advantage of the free offers for our Vets. But, mainly I want to send out a HUGE THANKS to all my fellow Veterans. And, a special "Welcome Home" to my Brothers and Sisters of the Vietnam War. May you all have...

Learned something this past week that I thought I'd share with those of you who are not aware of this. We were about to leave for the NC/SC Heartland Rally in Waynesville, NC last Thursday when I noticed we did not have any 12v power in the coach. Clearance lights, tail lights and brake lights...

Thought I would share this with y'all, we have a 2008 Bighorn 3055RL and near the end of our big trip in June we were putting the slides out and the main slide slowed then stopped and looked all out of alignment and it still had about a foot or so to go to be fully extended. We heard some...

Well it took 2 attempts and 4 years (you never want to get in a rush) to get this done, but I think I have it down this time. I attempted to install these gas supports the first time in 2010, it worked great as long as I didn't go out on the road, then we got into trouble. I attempted to mount...

Hi All, I need some assistance. I'm wanting to get back into playing golf again, but it's been a very long time since I played. Last round played was in 1986 and at that time I was playing with a 12 handicap. I know my game will not be near what it was back then and I also know the game and...

Hey all, yeah don't ask but I did something really dumb and poked a hole in the bladder of our Trailair Tri-Glide pin box:mad:. I have sent a request into Lippert asking for a replacement, but was just wondering if anyone knows of any where else that might sell parts for these? Just want to be...

Our frig has always worked well, except during the first 6 months when it would not get real cool during hot weather, I installed one of those temp operated fans in the back compartment and all was well. So, for the past 5 years it has been fine, until now. We were at the GA Heartland Owners...

Hi All, just thought I would pass along the problem we have experienced with our hyd landing gear we had installed during the rally last June in case anyone else may have this same problem. I had noticed about a month ago that after the camper had set for around a week the landing gear leg on...

Has anyone had any dealings with this RV dealer? We now live in Jefferson, GA and I'm having a problem with the new hydraulic landing gear leaking down and the Lippert Rep told me to take our coach to any dealer, and RV world of Georgia is the dealer that is close to us. I've not heard...

Hi All, just wanted to let all our old and new friends that Miss Ann and I won't be considered fulltimers any longer. We have purchased a home in Jefferson, GA. We're still going to travel a good bit and we weren't really ready to come off the road, but when we saw the prices of homes here in...

Hi All, attached is is the current info I have that we use for the gate guard positions. I'm attempting to attach as a PDF hope it works?

Well we pulled in to set up and noticed our wheel chocks would not fit in between the tires, this seemed odd? We had also noticed that we could feel the coach move a lot more when one of us was walking across the floor. Crawled under the coach yesterday and found that a piece of the leaf...

We just arrived back in N. GA and when we went to put our wheel chocks in they would not fit between the tires like they always have. I use a 1/2" pipe clamp and 2 pieces of 4x4 that have been cut on an angle, this system works similar to the "RotoChocks" where it squeezes the 4x4's between the...

Hi All, Well all has gone well so far until we arrived back in south TX from north GA and I noticed the right rear tire on our BH has excessive wear on the outter edge. Until now the tire wear has been pretty even and the other 3 tires seem to be wearing even. We are sitting on a oil field...

I guess I should have asked this question before I bought the truck but any way here we go. We just bought a 2011 3500HD SRW, this truck sits really high compared to the 2006 3500 dually we had. The floor of the bed is 1 inch higher off the ground than the 2006, the other problem is the depth...

Well my landing gear is finally fixed and working fine again! Thanks to the guidance of Gary521 he sent me in the right direction and pointed out a great flaw in the information needed for landing gear maintenance. It was the "screw drive" that was the problem it was sooooo dry I could barely...

Here's a wierd one for you, we have been on the road a few weeks and each time we put the slides out or brought them in we had the shore power hooked up. Well the other day I had already unhooked shore power and had hooked up to the truck prior to bringing in the slides and they wouldn't come...

Has anyone who had their rig weighed at the Nashville Rally received their computer print out from these folks? We were told it would be 2 to 3 weeks and we would receive a computer generated read out on our rig weighing but we have yet to see this. Frankly I'm really disappointed with these...

Has anyone done this? Ann and I are considering doing this and have been doing some research on it but just curious if anyone here has personal experience with this and if so which security company did you work for? Thanks, Ron

I might be posting in the wrong place, but here goes. Does anyone know how much CFM a compressor would have to have to be able to pump up our tires to 80lbs? The small Cambell-Hausfield pancake compressor I have won't pump up my tires the pressure in the tank drops faster than the compressor...

Don't know if this is the correct area to post this, but we just bought a used 2006 Chevy 3500 Dually with low mileage. The previous owner had extra tint added to the back window and the back door windows, it is so dark you can't see out of it at all "I hate it". Does anyone know how...

Didn't there used to be a Thread for "Dealer Experiences" or is it still here and I'm just lost on the new design of the web site? Any way has anyone had much experience with RVsForLess in Knoxville, TN? Seems like I have heard good things about this dealer but can't remember?

I know some of you will say we are crazy for doing this but we took out our Day-Night shades and replaced them with mini blinds. Ann and I both hated using the day-night shades they were hard to move up and down and hard to reach at times, and we had 3 of them with broken strings and 2 out of...

Hi All, just curious to hear from all of you Ford Owners? We are thinking of up grading to a heavier truck and maybe later to a Big Horn 3670 and I'm not comfortable with pulling that with our Chevy 2500HD Duramax due to the weight. So, I thought we would check out the 2010 Ford F450 they...

If you're ever in this area (just south of Valdosta) exit #5 off I-75 and need repairs these folks are great. After having many RV techs look at our furnace since Oct 09 the techs at Travel Country RV figured out our problem and we once again have reliable heat.:D

Hi All, Since Ann and I are fulltime campground host I thought I would share a little story with you concerning having friends help you set up your rig in the campground. We had some folks (2 couples) come in our campground and the owner of the rig had his friend help him set up due to them...
