I'm pulling our 3650BH with a 2011 Ford F250 Diesel and it pulls wonderfully. You should be fine with 2500HD. My in-laws tow a heavier 5th wheel trailer with a older 2500 diesel and have had no issues. I weighed the trailer last year at a CAT scale. Loaded with gear, no food/drinks, empty...

Yes, I talked to Charlie yesterday and updated our reservations to include Thursday night in addition to the Friday and Saturday nights we already had. See you then.

Slight update to our plans. We've arranged for a MUCH needed mommy and daddy weekend, so it will just be my wife at I at the rally that weekend. Also, we will be coming in a day earlier than expected, arriving Thursday evening. Looking forward to meeting everyone. See you then.

We have a 2014 Gateway 3650BH and have been pulling it with a 2011 Ford F250 Diesel since this past June. Pulls like a champ. I weighed it on the local Cat Scales a few months back. Here's the info from that: Trailer Weight (unhitched): 14,220 lbs Trailer Weight (hitched): 11,920 lbs Pin...

I installed a set of JT Strong arm stabilizers on the front landing gear of our Gateway 3650BH. They made a world of difference, completely worth the $$$. I did not install the two that were included for the rear stabilizers, as I wasn't sure I would need them. I have since decide that I do...

Please add us to the list. Kurt, Dori, and our 2 children. I called today and reserved a spot for Friday and Saturday nights. The current plan is to leave right after school's out that Friday, and arrive close to 7pm. We'll be staying through Sunday. I'm going to see what I can do about...

We took the trailer out to a local State Park this weekend, we have been having camping withdrawls since we were last out Thanksgiving weekend. Turned out to be a beautiful weekend, 60+ during the day, upper 30s at night, hardly any wind. Back to work this morning and it was 18 degrees and...

Marcus, We've have a Gateway 3650BH, bought it back in June. Absolutely love it. Sounds like you're loving yours just as much. One thing I wanted to mention was that we are having an issue with the forward black tank valve (3650BH has a set of black/gray tanks up front as well as in the...

Dang, I was over at the storage lot Monday afternoon checking on the rig. I didn't see this post until later, else I would have measured for you while I was there. I'd be more than happy to measure for you next time I'm over there, possibly this weekend or next. I'm willing to bet it's going...

Yes, it's a 2011 Ford F250 Lariat, 6.7l Diesel. I bought it used back in March with almost 60k miles on it. It pulls that 3650bh like a champ. Coming from a Toyota Tundra, the Ford rides quite a bit rougher, but to be expected for a 3/4 ton pickup. I've added air bags to the rear suspension...

Dave, Last weekend was the first time we had a need for heat in our 3650BH. It took me a bit to figure out that the bedroom thermostat had nothing to do with the heater, but it makes complete sense now. We have two small space heaters from WM from our old trailer that we plugged in and ran on...

Congrats Breeno. We took delivery of our new Gateway 3650 BH back in June and absolutely love it. The kids have plenty of room to play in the back, and we have plenty of room ourselves in the master bedroom. I can't say enough good things about the Gateway line and this floorplan in...

Our Elks lodge, Broken Arrow OK #2673, has an auxiliary camping club named the Roaming Elks Camping Club. This weekend was our fall campout at Sequoyah State Park at Ft Gibson lake in Oklahoma. The campout had a Gilligan's Island theme. Campers were encouraged to decorate their trailer and...

Just an update in case anyone runs across this thread in the future... A Heartland rep contacted me directly last week. He contacted a rep from Lippert who advised against adding a bumper mounted bike rack to the rear bumper of the 3650BH. The Lippert rep also mention that since this was...

Thanks for the suggestions Dave. I definitely like version 2.0, but my dish has the arm mounted like the one in your version 1.0 pics. For now I've removed the dish itself as danemayer suggested. I'm surprised at how much more portable that made the whole thing. Most likely more than folding...

+1 to Linda. That gave me a good chuckle. :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have the dish handy to take a look at, but I don't remember seeing bolts there on the LNB arm on mine. I'll take a look this weekend. If so that'd be perfect for what I need. Maybe even drill them out and insert some sort of bolt/pin type setup with wing...

My brochure said 12'10", I didn't believe it. I measures our 2014 3650BH while it was sitting in storage (gravel lot, not perfectly level front to back) and I measured 13'3" from ground to top of front AC unit. I need to remember to measure it while it's hooked up to my truck, to see if...

Will the rear bumper of a 2014 Gateway 3650BH support a bolt-on (u-bracket) hitch receiver and a receiver mounted bike rack? Keeping in mind there is a spare tire bolted onto the rear bumper as well. My concerns is the weight of both the spare tire and the bike rack mounted onto the rear...

We have a 2014 Gateway 3650BH. Camping in Oklahoma in the mid to upper 90's, I can attest that the two AC units can keep the trailer cold. We keep the it pretty cold in there during the day, usually setting both thermostats at 68-69, and it can get chilly enough during the day that my wife and...

Does anyone know of a replacement magnetic door holder vs the little plastic arm (as seen in the attached pic) for the exterior doors on a Gateway 3650BH? I'm looking for simple replacement parts as opposed to a DIY modification if possible. Searching the internet has not turned up anything...

I have a 2014 Gateway 3650 BH. There are two coax inputs in the docking center. I labeled them, but off the top of my head today I can't remember which was which. I believe satellite was on the left, but I'm not positive right now. One was a satellite input that leads directly to the...

Thank you all for the recommendations. I appreciate it very much.

I'm looking for recommendations for area campgrounds in the Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas area. Based out of the Tulsa area I'd like to start venturing out a little further than the local lakes. Private or public campground, I'm fine either way. Someplace that takes reservations would...

Biily, Congrats on your Gateway purchase. We purchased a Gateway 3650BH just over a month ago and we absolutely love it. The only issues I have had with is so far are the LP gas auto changeover valve/switch, a water leak on the backside of the docking station on the black tank flush connector...

I received a direct email from Heartland stating, "In this bed room design the bedroom TV was designed to sit on the dresser. To install a wall mount it will need the addition a backer board secured with hollow wall anchors and then the TV bracket attach to that." I assume that means that...

I would like to mount a TV to the wall in the master bedroom. A stud finder isn't working too well due to the wood-foam-wood sandwich construction of the walls. Are there any wood or aluminum studs in this part of the wall that I can drill/screw into for a TV mount? If so, what's the best way...

There is no button/logo link to the Gateway Community on the "Brand Specific Communities" image there on the home page of this site. Just thought I'd mention it. Thanks.

Pulled the trailer down to our favorite local state park last night. Around here you have to have your unit onsite (and paid for) a few days in advance if you want a spot that weekend. Good thing I did, the camp ground was about 80% full last night. The Gateway pulled like a dream. SOOOO...

After a couple weeks, and numerous “interviews”, my wife and I are now proud parents of a 2014 Heartland Gateway 3650BH. We brought the unit home Saturday afternoon and we are so excited. We have a short weekend trip planed soon, and CANNOT wait to go camping in the new rig. We had a smaller...

2014 Heartland Gateway 3650BH. We brought her home Saturday afternoon. Very proud parents here. More info will be posted in the General Discussions area of the Gateway Community here on the forums.

The Gateway 3650BH has electric landing gear as stated, but the slides are hydraulic. I'm not sure if the hydraulic slides are specific to the 3650 or not, since it has 5 slides total. We were looking for a bunk house unit so I only looked at the 3650BH model. All 5 hydraulic slides on one...

After a rocky week dealing with our local dealer, we did the final walk-through last night, making a list of a hand full of minor fixes that the dealer needs to address. We will be doing the PDI and taking possession of a Heartland Gateway 3650BH tomorrow morning. After looking at numerous...

Milton, care to expand on your home made antenna a bit? I'm curious.

Thanks Ray. I appreciate the insight. You're probably right, I didn't even think of the kitchen sink draining into the rear gray tank. Makes perfect sense now.

Thanks dane. We really like the Gateway 3650BH, it fits our family very well. One of my main concerns is the hydraulic slides, and them all being on one switch. I'm used to individual switches and being able to slide out the living room slide while in storage so I can work on something or...

This evening will be my "second interview" with a Gateway 3650BH at a local dealership. So far I'm impressed. We are trading up from a Coachman Catalina Deluxe 32TSBH bumper pull that is only 6 months old. In that six months we have quite a list of things we'd change, and the Gateway 3650BH...
