    Patio awning

    I've seen several 5th wheels with a patio awning mounted on a slider. I don't mean a slide topper but a normal size awning to fit on a slider about 10 to 12 feet. Has anyone with a Heartland product mounted or had one mounted on their slider. If so,was it difficult? or Who did it? Did you have...

    Chair

    We didn't get the chair either. Started using a dining room chair. That got to be a pain. Now we use a fold a chair that is easily folded up for more room in the living area. It also gives us an extra chair if needed. Store it in the closest when travelling. Jim

    Slide Leak

    I was told by a dealer that if the unit is not level water may have the tendency to run down the outside trim and get in behind the rubber seal. The dealer said to wedge the rubber out from the sider and caulk a small dam to keep the water out. I know when i had my leak the rig was not prefectly...

    Screen Door Plexi Glass

    I did my own. For the rounded corners i found something that was similar is shape trace it on the glass and it with a plexi glass cutter, smoothed the edges with sand paper. I used velcro to install on the inside of the door so that i can remove it easily. Jim

    Has Anyone Done This?

    We just did this, but haven't travelled with it yet. The movement inside the 5ver seems ever so slight. What i'm going to do is protect the table with padding against the window the other side the slider will stop it from moving. If i think things move i'll figure out some way of tying the...

    First Ever Heartland Encounter

    We arrived at Thousand Trails Chesapeake Tueday 10-16 and to our amazement there was a Bighorn 5ver sitting on a site. This was our first sighting of a Heartland RV other than at a rally. There was no TV at the site so we left one of our new Heartland cards that we were given at the East Coast...

    Tire upgrade option opinion poll – What would you pay?

    I voted 400 a good upgrade should cost more then $80 per tire if you factor in the orginal cost of the tires supplied. But to ensure I had tires that I wouldn't have to worry about I would pay $200 per tire. What's a grand when it comes to safety. Jim

    Creamy Broccoli Bake

    I usually judge on the broccoli and cheese when I make this, which is more than what it calls for. I always make it with the cream of celery soup because Jim doesn't like mushrooms! (It has a different taste with the mushroom soup.) Glad you enjoyed it!

    Choice Camping Inc.

    Dave i belong to thousand trail and as far as i know the only why you can get in there is to be a member. Even with affiliation with other associations you still have to have a TT membership. So what they are offering can all be true. Jim

    Loose connections

    Thanks for the replies. I found on my 3670rl there's a check valve about four foot up inside the bathroom partion wall. The valve was bad and leaking. Since there is no access panel the bathroom panelling has to be removed to get to the valve. I can't figure why heartland would put a water...

    Water run off

    Joe this is not a leak problem. When DW is washing dishes water from her hands touching the faucet runs from her hands, down the faucet, to the counter top onto the floor. This is just an easy fix that keeps the water off the carpet.

    Range Hood Light

    The light on the range hood is almost useless. Does anyone know of brighter bulb that can be installed in the hood? DW and I were in the kitchen and both said how much light there is every where but over the range when you are trying to cook. Maybe it's done that way so you can't see what you...
