I just read a post on an SOB forum that Forrest River... “just changed their warranty, again, this time to make it what looks like the most restrictive in the industry. As written, if a consumer uses the Rv for 3 3-day weekends one month, and does that again the next month, making it a total of...

I'm planning a trip to Yellowstone in May to support my daughters quest to visit all 50 states before she turns 30. The main objective of the trip is to stay the night in Idaho, Montana & Wyoming while experiencing Yellowstone National Park. After reading a thread on this forum about traveling...

My 2013 Ford F350 6.7 with 80,000 miles started up kind of rough and was clanking louder than normal on a cold morning this week. Lunch time I was sitting at idle in a drive through line and it sputtered with the check engine light coming on, the light stayed on the rest of the day. The next...

I always like to check my trailer brakes with the controller before I leave the yard. Do these photos mean my driver side front axle brake is out, as well as all three on the door side??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My water pump died... I think it was because we made a party and all the guest using the facilities ran the fresh tank out of water and the pump stayed on with the tank dry. I'm looking for a replacement on Amazon and it seems the best one is a... Seaflo 12v Water Pressure Diaphragm Pump 18.9...

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen. He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his...

Our Christmas present... Bella, a stray pit mix pup who was probably dumped because she is deaf, adopted from the rescue ladies!!! She'll be out on the road with us and the other dogs next year. "Researchers still aren't sure what causes congenital deafness, they do know it's most common in...

What would be the easiest & safest way to disable a propane furnance and leave the propane on to run the water heater? Disconnect the thermostat? Disconnect the 12v power to the fan? Is there a valve in the furnance to shut off the propane?

Well of course right after I bragged about my generator purring like a kitten, when I fired it up last weekend it sputtered and died. Luckily I was just exercising it and we were on the way to tailgate where we have a power pole. I committed an error by firing it up with only 1/4 tank of old...

I thought I had gone crazy when I saw a truck this weekend with the new F250 and 6.7 Diesel badges... but with an Excursion body and the unique rear tailgate doors. It was not an Expedition. Are the Excursions back...

Saw a new Heartland ToyHauler line at Camping World in Lubbock. I think the Pioneer brand is CW exclusive and these small TT Toyhaulers, a 26ft & 28ft, had a price point under $20k and are 1/2 ton towable. http://www.campingworldoflubbock.com/new-and-used-toyhauler-rvs?prompt_zip

I’ve been following a recent thread… https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/61152-Talk-me-out-of-it Like many I started with a small RV and upsized… A slide in truck camper, 26ft TT, 32 ft TT, 38 ft TH and now a 44 ft TH. My dilemma is the reverse, I’m thinkin’ smaller. Has anyone...

I got my first electric bill as a full-timer... They charged me $173.12 for an overage of 1082 kWh. 15¢ a kWh sounds about right... What seems off is I get 800 kWh included in the monthly rent, so I went over by more than double??? It was kinda hot this past month with most days in triple...

One of the vendor's reps that calls on my wife sent photo's of his brand new Cyclone 4200 that he bought this weekend from Explore USA. He went out to the races with us when we had a Torque, and that's what he went to look at to trade in his Open Range 5'er so he could haul his & her Harleys. I...

I'm about to reach the end of my 36,000 mile manufacturer warranty on my 2013 F350 6.7 diesel. No problems so far. This is my first diesel truck since the 1980s and I normally do not buy extended warranties, however, after reading some of the horror stories on the forum about the high cost to...

I was staring up last night and noticed that I had center my carbon monoxide detector flush to the ceiling about 12 inches from the return air intake on the air conditioner. The only thing I could find in the manual about the mounting location was not to mount it in a corner. I did find this...

Saw this Igloo Party Bar @ Home Depot yesterday for $199... since the hindges are broke on my old marine Igloo and I'm too cheap to buy a Yeti... I got it, just hopin' I can pass it off as a Mothers Day Gift??? http://www.igloopartybar.com/

This is Coco, she is a rescue dog that a friend of my daughters asked her to foster. I volunteered to watch her one weekend and decided to keep her. When the rescue took her in, from a family that gave her up, she was dragging both back legs. The Vet thought she had poor bone density from an...

Big Bob Gibson's White BBQ Sauce If your from Texas or Tennessee, you probably think the only kind of BBQ sauce is red and starts out as ketchup. But the folks in the deep south knows abouts this white BBQ sauce. It is fantastic on any kind of chicken... You can dip the meat in a cold sauce...

I finally replaced my stock 10 ply tires with Sailun S637 G load rated tires. Several positive post on this forum and Heartland switching over to these tires on a lot of their fivers helped me decide on Sailun. Big O Tire carries the Sailun line and has stores in all the western states...

Last fall my camping buddy had a blowout in his Sundance 3400QB that required the furnace and water heater be replaced. He said now it seems the water does not get as hot as before. On a residential water heater I'm use to just turning up the dial to raise the temperature. On an Atwood RV...

Gettin' ready for the spring scrimmage this weekend, thought I would share my favorite tailgate recipe!!! “Solo Cup” Frozen Margaritas In an ice cream maker (preferably the wood barrel style) mix… 1.75 ltr bottle of Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix or favorite One 16 oz Solo Cup of Orange Juice or...

When I bought my first fifth wheel I remember the tech during the PDI stressing the importance of a "Pull Test" when hitching. He walked me through how to raise the landing gear 6 to 8 inches after hooking up and to drive forward a few feet to make sure the hitch is connected. He explained...

When I had a TT with manual stabilizer jacks I always used wood blocks, I left them on the travel trailer. I figured I wouldn't need them with the 6 point level up... bad idea. Here are pic's of my trailer in storage, under cover, after a gully washer. My neighbor two stalls down, who bought my...

On the way home last night I had to skirt some storms. Stopped for fuel in a small town where I couldn't get in up front so I pulled around to the big rig island. On my receipt I noticed it read "Truck Diesel" as compared to the low sulfur diesel up front. Does "Truck diesel" have any ill...

CrudeFest Day 0, 1, 2, 3 & 4 http://thecrudefest.com/ Glad I didn't go set up at lunch today, a late afternoon thunderstorm passed and blew over a trailer. The fun starts tomorrow with Larry Joe Taylor's acoustical pickin' party including DW's favorite... Dave Perez on accordion. Stay tuned...

Pulling into a parking lot I looked back to see the rear of the trailer about 1 inch off the pavement. I figured I'd better get some skid rollers before I damaged the trailer. http://www.etrailer.com/RV-and-Camping/Ultra-Fab-Products/UF48-979023.html

Had a blast last weekend working the course at the most challenging road race in the world... Every April they close off 60 miles of Hwy 285 between Ft Stockton & Sanderson, Texas and have course workers posted at the gates to keep traffic off the highway. This year 160 cars ran south in the...

My newbie camping buddy drove his new 2014 Sundance 3400QB 250 miles home from the dealer last night without incident. He had a new Curt hitch and 7 way plug installed by a local trailer shop last Saturday. He was headed to work this morning with plans to take the trailer to storage at lunch...

I kicked myself out of the HOC and off the Forum yesterday when I signed paperwork on an SOB TH. I loved my Heartland trailer and wanted another one, but I couldn't find the right one on the lot and didn't want to wait on an order. I know I'll buy another Heartland product some day. I want to...

I'm looking at buying a RW415 or a CY39500. One thing I noticed the Cyclones have 82 Grey (two 41s) 1 = kitchen/rear sink & 1 = front bath and 82 Black (two 41s). 1 = rear toilet & 1 = front toilet??? It seems that most of the Road Warrior models have three holding tanks... So am I right to...

Goodbye Torque, Hello... I'm home away from homeless, and determined to find the exact trailer we want. With paid reservations the end of March, two in April, Memorial Day & 4th of July, I hope we don't have to wait months to order one!!! How long is delivery on an order taking these days...

The rub keeps comin' outta my rail... Dave, check me out on my terminology, that's what it's call it on a boat, not sure on an RV. When it gets cold my corner seals contract out of the rail. The problem is after a while on the road the wind blows them loose, from top to bottom, and I have to...

I remember 20 years ago in El Paso we bought our 1st house with "Refrigerated Air", after living for 20 years before in houses that had "Swamp Coolers". The first summer in our new house Helen complained that the AC wasn't working right so I had my HVAC friend come out to take a look. He said...
