We were in Ft. Wilderness in January. Neighbors who looked like they lived there all winter did this every night. Plus had red flood lights stuck in the ground.

Ditto for us. About a month after I bought mine (non-hard wired 50 amp version) we plugged into a county park on the beach about an hour away. Middle of night it kicked off - I knew this as it got real hot with no a/c. Problem was low voltage from the pedastal. So I ran an extension cord...

Only responses I have ever gotten from Craigslist in the past were the scammers. It's probably too far away from you, but I highly recommend PPL in Houston to sell your camper. They have a huge lot that is stuffed and they get a ton of business. We sold a very used 2006 SOB for way more...

Not just TH's. Just got a quote on a new TT we are getting. Wanted almost $800 a year. Guess I'll be staying with TX Farm Bureau for about 1/2 that. Good Sam just doesn't seem competitive on much of anything anymore. They wouldn't even offer us financing so I went to Ally and got really...

OK - now your just showing off. Those wooden landing pads on the ground are way too neat.

When other people think because I drive a truck I want all their $#!t thrown in the bed of it because they are too lazy to find a trash can.

When I bought my North Trail, it came with 15" tires. But when I got around to installing my ProPride hitch, I had to remove the spare. Had never looked at it in the month or so I had owned it. It was 14". I called Heartland and within a couple of weeks they shipped a new 15" wheel...

Thanks, I will. I was wondering if the chains were techinically part of the frame, and maybe it was covered under a separate warranty for longer than one year. If not - thats OK too - but it never hurts to ask.

This past weekend coming home, our tow chains broke free from the frame right after we took off. I have no idea how this happened, same length as always, hooks in same place on tow vehicle, front jack all the way up, hitch bars tightened the same as we have been using for the last...

Interesting. I can click on your links and get to them. But when I start at Heartland Home, I can't find them without a lot of extra clicks. They are not under lightweight trailer tab nor the travel trailer tab. And the Mallards at least are pretty sparse on the information - almost...

Sounds like the campground we stayed at on Quintana Beach. Ours tripped in the middle of the night, noticed when I woke up hot and the a/c off. Went outside and it showed 98 V. At 3 am I fished around and found my 30amp extension cord and ran it to the empty site next door, which was...

I wonder if the make a single "lift" bunk that I could add after the fact, I'll have to do some digging around on the web for that. This is what I was afraid of, I would want to leave a decent enough path around the bed for kids to wander around. In my research, I am definately going to...

Something similar to this has crossed my mind. I figured, if I was going to have to make all these mods to a new unit, why? Just buy a fairly new used unit with the walls in the right place, and take out the extra entertainment centers, etc that they all put in that use up bunk space...

And apparently, I've lost my reading comprehension. That's Prowler that shows up on the left side list. My apologies. I find the Pioneer units when I use the RV Buyers Guide on the website, same as the Mallard units.

Don't know if it would work or not, but Camco makes the propane tank cover for our travel trailer. The pop-up access door on top blew off soon after we bought the trailer. I called Camco, looking to buy one - the lady answering was extremely friendly and just dropped one in the mail to...

It shows up and has for some time when I go to their website. On the annoying pop-out list on the left side, it is the second to bottom brand. One of the Fleetwood brands that doesn't show up on the website is Mallard. But when I did a search of travel trailers that slept 7+, lo and...

Only problem is I can't get all the kids in the bunk room. The 290BHS has room for four on the bunks. The 310 BHK I belive has 3 beds in the back - it looks line one bottom bunk is eaten up by the outside kitchen space. We could throw a mattress on the floor - but that is still only 4 in...

Missed it the first time. Yeah - that is the one Heartland I have found that meets some of my needs. It has a full-length queen which is one of the requirements. I want to go look at one locally. My thought is buy a lightweight bunk from Ikea and put it in the garage also in front of...

The Safety Hitch. I like the idea, but my mind is still nowhere near made up enough about it to experiment with a $10-12,000 piece of equipment. I'd like to see it used a lot and get other peoples results before I spend that kind of money. I talked to the owner of the business last...

Yep. But another problem pops up. $$$$$

Yeah, I have looked/lusted at them. And the bigger Cyclones also. But the problem is I believe all of them are fifth wheels. And with eight people, can't have one of those - pretty much limited to towing a travel trailer with our Excursion. It's a sad fact, that when you have a big...

We have the same problem. But probably worse. Six kids + 1 dog. (luckily she is only 14 lbs - the dog, that is) Our North Trail is packed. And we hate the living room sleeping arrangements - either take apart the dinette set daily, or use the blow up mattress which pretty much blocks the...

Last two times we went, we stayed at Bear Cove Village in Pigeon Forge. Like said above- spaces are a bit tight, but that is only a problem when it is packed. Second time we went, it was off season and there was no problem. Great location - a couple minutes from Dollywood and right off...

Our impression of Explore USA is much the same as the original poster. We bought our North Trail from the Canton location. Extremely nice people, good deal on the trailer. But when we took it back after three days for repairs, they had it over a month. And only partially fixed the...

Thor Industries bought an old Monaco plant and the rights to the brand names that were left when the old Monaco towable division was shut down. http://www.rvbusiness.com/2014/02/monaco-workers-regroup-look-for-work-again/...

One other quick thing to note. As of right now, this deduction expired on 12/31/13. For the last 10 years or so, it has been renewed 1 or 2 years at a time. This year, due to y'alls government :rolleyes: being a bunch of nitwits, it along with a lot of other deductions for both...

It's one of the few things a salesperson will tell you that is accurate. :p I work in the tax field so I stay pretty up to date on what I can legally deduct. Of course there are limitations to it - it is the IRS after all - but TurboTax and the like should guide you pretty well through it...

Have a 2012 31QBSS. Wardrobe slide leaked like a sieve when we first got it out. Took it back to the purchasing dealer - they had if for a month and "somewhat" fixed it. It still leaked - just not as bad. Did not want to take it back again as they took forever, plus it was 5 hour...

All this is good advice. It works. I had a large leak on my new trailer. The back bunk room got soaked the day after we bought it. I took it right back to the dealer I purchased it from. They had it a month and fixed it and a few other small things. Next month, we got rained on...

Yeah - it does kind of stand out now that the rear is all nice and shiny otherwise. I'll try the Magic Eraser first - had good luck with those on a lot of other spots.

Well, we got our trailer back two weeks ago. They ended up replacing our whole back panel, plus assorted trim pieces and decals. Took them about 4 weeks - but a big part of that was waiting on the rear panel to arrive. Ron Hoover did a great job - Derrick was our Service guy and the whole...

Huh, I had heard that Houston PD was doing this. Now I know why. Didn't realize it was due to it being forced down their throat.

Re: Well, it's time to ask about the 4200 again??? Yeah - I thought about that. But since I'm spending money I don't have anyway, I'm sure a solution could be found.

They will be soon. Grocery store that my wife goes to has charging station for electric vehicles. It's going to be interesting when/if these things get common and someones Volt/Tesla is fried by a non-maintained public charging station.

Re: Well, it's time to ask about the 4200 again??? Yep - those would do nicely. I also drool over this........ Unfortunately, I seem to run into the same problem every time. $$$$$

Re: Well, it's time to ask about the 4200 again??? I actually like it for our situation. We have six kids. It would actually work very well - has pretty much all the things I am looking for in my "ultimate" rig. I'm assuming it has the dual electric queens in the rear like the other...

Re: Road Warrior MSRP - Updated 11-18-2013 Hmm. I did. It adds to the Base Cost line. But not the Total line for me. I can buy a loaded 425 RW for a little over $13,000. :D Might be trading up sooner than later at that price.

Re: Road Warrior MSRP - Updated 11-18-2013 I think there is a glitch in the grand total formula in the excel version. The one for Road Warrior for me only picked up the total of all the options, did not include the total for the unit itself. Cyclone spreadsheet worked correctly for me.

It's good for getting rid of all the extra sawdust in the mill. That's about it.

Well, dropped trailer off this morning on way to work at Ron Hoover. Adjuster is supposed to get there today or tomorrow. I used Ron Hoover for warranty work about 6 months ago and they fixed in 3 days what my selling dealer was unable to fix after having my trailer for six weeks...
