Does anyone know if a 4 or 6 point leveling system is available on any Gateway 5th wheel model?

I wonder if Lippert moved the rear hydraulic jacks further back, maybe almost to where the stabilizers were if it would make the unit more stabile?

Actually, I wish that I had Zone control in my house….right now, in my house, I have one A/C and one thermostat located in the hallway. Say I set the temp on the thermostat to 78 and my livingroom is on the sunny side of the house. It may be 85 in the livingroom BEFORE the hallway (thermostat...

A properly installed Zone system will have temperature sensors somewhere in the A/C Zone...ie, a sensor in the bedroom and a sensor in the living room allowing you to set different temperatures from one thermostat within the RV and the sensors detect the ambient temp and turn on/off the proper...

Very nice job! The pictures are worth a thousand words, thanks for taking the time to post them. What is the black box with the two yellow connectors?

Bryan, thank you for the update. Given that any automatic rooftop dish or dome requires power to make the dish point, wouldn't it be a great next step to run the power/data cable along with the two coax cables during the factory build. Without the power/data cable option, buyers need to drill...

Jassson007, where did they come through your roof with the power cable and where did it terminate inside?

Re: 2014 3650rl satellite installation Jim, While I hope your comment about all HL 5th wheels being wired for the Wingard Travl'r, I have read other posts on this site saying that the coax is in the ceiling but not the data cable. When you get a minute, could you confirm that two coax cables...

Does anyone know why you cannot order the RAM 3500 5th/Goose prep kit with the Rambox Cargo Management option? I've read posts on other sites mentioning turning radius but had no better explanation.

Does anyone have or know where we can see photos of HL's Broyhill furniture line? Posting photos of yours if you have Broyhill would be terrific. And what colors are available. Thanks.

scottyb....I apologize for not seeing your question before now.....the electrical panel (main & sub panel) were factory installed. Since HL is now installing optional residential refrigerators (120v) and an inverter, I would like to see pictures of their installation setup. But, it sounds like...

If memory serves me, I walked through a 3260 at a show..... the tag attached to the outside of the rig next to the entry door read (I think) 3260 RS Elite....could be just my failing memory.

Thought I'd chime in on direct wiring an inverter to the main AC panel. This method comes with inherent issues. When you invert to the main panel (no shore power), your inverter batteries "heat up" all circuits in the main panel. The first issue is that almost every RV these days has a...

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions...I'll give them a try.

This suggestion if for the forum moderators. When members post a subject, moderators may find a need to move the post to a "more appropriate location".... I would be grateful to the moderators if you would also include the link to the location you moved the thread to. The forum topics and...

I may be missing something here since I have never seen the Heartland inverter installation. Usually there is a sub panel installed that would have just the circuits in it that are to be run by the inverter (refrigerator, TV, +). Again, usually, there is a circuit breaker in the main 120v...

This may have been asked and answered. Does anyone know if HL & Lippert are adding this fluid to new units that are coming off the line or will they be adding this fluid during the build process?

That looks much better. I agree, the brown backsplash needs help! What did you do to remove to old backsplash? And how did you prepare the wall for the new backsplash?

Re: Electrical issues Before I started opening things up, I would look for another GFCI somewhere in the kitchen area (underneath the kitchen cabinets?). Also, a picture of your circuit breaker panel would be helpful.

Here you go, they're called Slideout Slickers..... do a good search as the price varies starting about $36 for a pair..... http://www.trailerlife.com/trailer-how-to/trailer-tech/slideout-slickers/

California's reciprocal law is pretty simple.... a resident from ANY state can operate ANY vehicle in CA as long as they have the proper license with appropriate endorsement for the vehicle they are driving from the State where the license was issued (residence). If your state says you are...

Thanks Dan, that helps.

This may be asked and answered somewhere in the forum but I cannot find it. For those of you that had the generator prep and the Onan 5.5 LP generator installed, how much did your hitch pin weight increase if any?

Does anyone know if HL is planning on adding this cable to the satellite pre-wire for the Big Country's also?

You mention that the leak is intermittent and the pipes in and around the bathroom sink are dry. Any water on the bottom of the sink cabinet? Is the RV level when you notice the leak? In the basement ceiling do you see evidence of water above where the carpet is wet? When exactly do you...

I was looking at the satellite roof pre-wire diagram (manuals section) for the Big Horn and Landmark.....if the drawing is correct, I see that the roof satellite Winegard DATA (and I'm assuming power up supply to make the dish rise and point) cable is routed to the entertainment center in the...

Theresa, I don't think my photo worked in the PM. Do you know what the interior color name is for this interior (sofa and counter tops)?

Thank you all for the responses. That just leaves me to find out if the Power Cord reel is available on the 3251TS.....Can't believe how useful this forum is to help with my learning curve.

Thank you for taking those pictures and taking the time to post them. The only way those hooks could be less conspicuous would be for them not to be there at all. Very unobtrusive. And thank you for the RV dealer recommendations. Seems like a very smart thing to do would be to pick up the rig...

Nabo, where did HL stash the cord reel on your unit? Is it at the back left outside corner where the power cord would normally be plugged in?

I agree Porthole, do it right the first time.... 1800 watts is the minimum I would go, especially with a residential fridge... 1000 watts probably won't run a coffee maker or a microwave....the number of batteries is subjective....two dedicated batteries would be my minimum without the...

Thanks Theresa....your description was plenty vivid...I was afraid that they would put the tie downs in the vinyl floor. Hidden in the carpet is great.....not in a hurry for pictures, there just isn't a dealer with a 3251 near me. Thank you again.

Theresa, Any chance you would post a couple of pictures of the island tied down for travel. I'm especially interested in the location of the floor hooks and if they are hidden or not. Thank you in advance. Oh, and another picture I would love to see is the electrical panel opened and closed...

Chances are that the Montana's extra 1/2 bathroom was added because, with the bedroom slides in for traveling, you would have to either crawl over the bed to use the bathroom or open the bed slide....my opinion is that they added the bath NOT for guests, but for traveling..... as for guests...

Will Heartland, and specifically Big Country begin offering a factory installed Inverter option? With the exception of 12V lights, it seems that everything else is 120V, ie HDTV x 2, satellite receivers, VCR/DVD players, Microwave, cell phone, computer, tablet chargers, coffee pots, etc. When...

The Big Horn has an electric power cord rewind located on the street side rear of the rig. I'm wondering if this electric rewind will be available on the Big Country? If yes, when? If not, why not? It's the perfect place to store the power cord instead of hand or crank rolling and storing in...

Seems like all big 3 company trucks are higher above the ground than the older year models. Does anyone have a new TV pick up that has caused leveling problems with the fifth wheel and the TV? If so, how did you solve the problem. Specifically 2012 or 2013 model pickups.

I am a YES, I like it. I think the concept is intriguing. It definitely allows for a longer curb side slideout and I'm always in favor of bigger/longer slides (full wall would be terrific). Didn't care for the step storage, but isn't that an issue that RV design engineers can solve. Putting...

I would not be a fan of the bifold option, but rather a fan of reversing the hinge location so that the bathroom door opens as depicted in the floorplan. Had a chance to meet and talk with Kary in Sacramento last month. A very positive experience for both me and my wife.

My design suggestion for the 3260 bedroom. These two photos are from a previous RV that I owned and as usual, a picture is worth a thousand words. While I can see that with a King size bed, this option would not be available without making the slideout wider, it's a feature that I'm suggesting...
