Good ideas. I have the 3070RE and can't believe anybody but small kids or 90lb adults would use that table. Besides the few inches of clearance between the table and chairs I've never understood why 4 chairs. It should be 2 chairs with a smaller table, so normal adults can use it. I know...

Double pane windows is a must if you want to stay warm below freezing temps (maybe one of those Big Horns have double pane windows). I don't have them and my arm next to the little bedroom window gets cold even under the covers.

Looking forward to the Syracuse availability! I'm a big believer in bigger isn't always better.

I agree. In most cases, a decision comes down to appearance and design. Which layout is most appealing and functional for your needs? All the companies integrate commercially available products, so a lot of the warranty issues involve the same supplier products across most every brand of...

Any problem with the depth of these anchors in RV walls? I'm a little concerned about these penetrating out the other side or using them on the outer walls around the window. I've used these in other applications and they do work good though.

There's a good idea. It may be time to go a different route with these things. The side valence's are the worst. At least a couple of them have come lose and have swung out from the wall at the bottom. I think it's time to try something different.

Has anyone experienced a valence falling off or coming lose? Got back from a recent 100 mile trip and the big valance (about 9 or 10' long) over the big windows had fallen off and was laying across the furniture. I looked and that big valence only had two little screws holding it up there and...

I agree. I don't mind bringing my vehicles in for recall work. I only get frustrated when problems need to be recalled and aren't. This article says that they have had two overheating cases, no fires, and no injuries. I applaud Dodge for seeing a problem, addressing it with "current" owners...

I've got the BC 3070 RE which is very similar to your floor plan. I noticed my gas line was (bent) pinched and had it replaced and rerouted under warranty. Works much better now. I was worried that a single location in the line moving back and forth (with each slide transition) would...

Things I like: 1. Big slides on both recliner slides. My BC has a slide that is to shallow to hold a couch and it rocks forward off the slide when you sit on it. 2. Love the theater seating facing the TV! 3. Kitchen and Bedroom access with slides in. Recommendations: 1. I'd prefer two...

I'm looking forward to my special order coming in. Interesting about the LED's. I hope you are having fun with your new truck (and trailer).

I love my current GMC, so I went to the dealer and asked them to order a new truck for me configured the same way as my current truck. I'm sure the Ford and Dodge folks love their trucks just as much. I really just wanted to let anyone thinking about buying a GM vehicle about the new mirrors...

They have the defroster feature as well. The old and new should have power folding as well. I'm always amazed at how many dealers order heavy duty trucks without the camper mirrors, but with the trailer package. When I bought my 2012, most heavy duty trucks on dealer lots had the smaller...

My recommendation is to study up on PDI's and control the PDI process yourself. The dealer tries to control it but you are the boss in this case. Slow them down where needed and ask lots of questions. Preparation is the key. Know what you are going to check before you even get close to the...

Just a head's up for anyone looking for a new heavy duty GMC truck. In August GMC started building a mid-year version of their 2015 model that includes some option changes. I saw one at the Texas State Fair. Here's what I know. The biggest change is the camper mirrors. First time GM has had...

Re: Onstar sucks . . . anyone with me? I'll always keep my Onstar activated. I carry a work cell phone and a personal cell phone, so I don't have a need for the minutes, but I use everything else. I use the heck out of the cell phone remote features. At work it's about a third of a mile...

Re: Stickers I used Goof Off. Worked great every where but the wheel well covers. It got the stickers off but it looks like it was interacting with the plastic in a bad way. Be careful with the plastic fender squirts. Maybe something other Goof off for those. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Have you talked to Heartland since the original phone call about service centers? They may have an entirely different story about what was discussed between them and repair shop. Something just doesn't sound right here. My suspicion is that they never talked to Heartland about their intended...

Congratulations and welcome to the group. The Monterey is one of my favorite models. Enjoy your new purchase!

Re: can't find floor plan for B 3270RS Very nice. Has everything I'm looking for. Luxury is not always big. Even Cadillac is coming out with a smaller version. Luxury is fine interiors, state of the art audio/video/electronics, and, in general, the best quality available. Also, love the...

Please add Stacy and I to the list (reservations are made). Not sure she is going to make it, but I'll be there. Sounds like fun!

Other than the Towmax tires (which seems to be addressed now), no complaints. I would definitely buy Heartland again. I love the floor plan and when I do go to a RV show, it's really hard to find anything that I would consider trading for. Good luck with your research!

Interesting. I'm sure everyone has their "must have" features. For me, access to the refrigerator and bedroom with the slides in is a must. Refrigerator is good on all. Cascade appears to block the bedroom with slides in. Plus, the window situations seems a little odd. So, it's out. The...

If I were full-timing a residential refrigerator would probably be the way to go. For my purposes now, RV refrigerators and portable ice makers are the most convenient. I've tried my portable ice maker in the kitchen and in the basement. We tend to like it in the basement. Less convenient...

Are you plugged into shore power when this happens? How old is your battery? I usually try to investigate power related possibilities first.

I also recommend crawling under the slide and seeing if the flexible line going from the trailer to the slide out is pinched (assuming your oven is in a slide). On mine it was and I had it replaced under warranty. Now it isn't pinched and they tie wrapped it up so that it won't get pinched...

Very cool idea! This looks big and heavy though. Can't wait to see how the patio works and how you access it.

Yeah, my GMC had the LT265/60R20's on it new. I just replaced them with Goodyear Wrangler AT Adventurers and it was $330 per tire. The worst part is that I didn't have many choices in this tire size. Every other tire had horrible ratings. I haven't had smaller rims on it, so I don't have...

Yeah, I love this. Very nice!

I agree with your suggestions. To me, size is not the objective. Quality is the objective. For example, my tow vehicle has a fantastic sounding stereo system. I might be stepping up into the trailer, but I'm stepping down when I turn on the sound system. Why can't it be at least as good...

I did the same thing yesterday. Got rid of the Blowmax and feeling much better. I went to take off my expandable wheel locks off the Blowmax one day, and the tires were so soft that they sank into the holes in the wheel lock plates. I have never seen a tire so soft. I had to go get something...

I'm getting ready to order the 614's, so I went underneath to look for the wheel ratings. I got a picture of the PSI rating, but you can see the load rating is right next to it. On mine, it's on the inside part of the wheel spoke. I wish I had a dealer recommendation. I'm going to try...

I agree. Most diesels have about twice the torque of a gas engine. Plus, the highest, most efficient power comes at low rpms for a diesel and high rpms for a gas engine. Of course, high rpms, generally mean rougher shifts also. I won't go back to a gas engine until I don't have a heavy...

Congratulations and welcome to the group! My experience has been all good. My 2013 BC is in for it's last warranty service now, but nothing major. So, my experience has been very positive. If there is a weak link it's got to be the Towmax tires if you have those. For those of us still using...

I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. That foot valve has always been a concern of mine and I wonder how often this happens. If it were to shut-off most of the way, but not completely, it would be nearly impossible to catch. Good luck with you molding replacement! Scott

I have the 3070RE without those things. Would I like them? Sure. Whether it is worth the big money is a personal decision. I think if I was full-timing it might be worth it to me. But for my weekend usage and occasional vacation, this is fine. Last Christmas I was camping at 10-15 degrees...

When our awning LED's are on, we have to hurry through the door due to bugs since the light is so close to the door. It probably isn't as intense as incandescent bulbs, but we seem to have some. Scott

As far as I know nothing. I guess we are all hoping to make it to the next tire change or to the inevitable safety recall. There aren't a lot of options out there except to buy new tires and wheels (and there's nothing wrong with these wheels). It was 100 for the first day of the year in...

Congratulations on your Big Horn and welcome to the group!!!

I had a 05 Dodge diesel prior to my GMC diesel now. I only had 90k on it when I sold it in 2012, but I didn't have any problems with the Cummins motor. It seemed very reliable and got great mileage. My worry was the transmission which was known at the time to be the weak link in the whole...
