    What did you do to your camper today?

    I'm sure a few packs of fruit snacks would do it! Lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Slide Out Seal Reset Strips

    Thanks for the quick response Dan! You're always such a great help. I tried The Google on a few different RV sites and couldn't find anything. Knew I would get the right answer in minutes on here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Slide Out Seal Reset Strips

    This may seem like a totally obvious question but I recently lost one of those thin black reset strips on the slide of the slide out that resets the slide out seal. Does anyone know what they are called and where I can get a replacement? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    towmax tires failure

    Bones ~ I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but get them off as soon as you can afford to. I was just bit by the BlowMax bug last month. Thought for sure I could get a year out of them with monitoring tire pressure and visibly checking for uneven wear. $4k in insurance claims later.........

    What color truck for 3650BH?

    Hi GoatsRock, I've got a gold Dodge Ram, albeit a few years old and they look really good together (see profile pic).

    slider hitch for gateway 3650bh?

    I'm going to go with the Goodyear G614's. They are a heavy duty 14 ply tire that should hold up pretty good. They're expensive but if it can save me from being stuck on the side of the highway for 6 hours and a little extra peace of mind I'll gladly pay the extra price. There are some other...

    slider hitch for gateway 3650bh?

    Hi Justafordguy, I've got a 2005 Dodge Ram with a 6.5 foot short box pulling a 3650BH and I haven't yet encountered a time where I need to use the slider. I can only imagine that if you were backing into an uphill spot the clearances could get very close. I bought the slider hitch not knowing...

    2004 F350 towing 14,000lbs

    + 1 for fifthwheelst.com. I wish I had done more research on tow vehicles prior to buying my fiver. I purchased a Gateway 3560BH late last year and believed my salesman when he said my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 would be "more than enough" to handle it. Sure, the Cummins power plant is plenty...

    Gateway 3650BH w/residential fridge forward compartment on entry side

    I just took our first extended trip in our 3650BH to San Diego and was contemplating the same thing. I was thinking about bolting a couple of pieces of wood and making that the storage compartment for all of the leveling supplies but haven't quite decided on what I want to do with that space...

    Magnetic Holdbacks on Exterior Doors

    Hi Ken - I also have the same model and year. I remember hearing in the Gateway product demo that the exterior doors had magnetic holders but my unit doesn't have them either. My exterior doors swing right to left and the ones demonstrated in the video with magnetic holders swing bottom to top...

    anyone removed the metal frame for shower door on a Gateway 3650?

    I know some other Gateway 3650BH owners have taken the metal railing off since it was installed backwards at the factory so the drain holes were facing AWAY from the shower. DUH! Hopefully they will chime in soon to let you know. Mine was installed the correct way, but also had ZERO caulking...

    Gray tanks combined! Mod with pics!!

    Wow, great work! I want to look into doing this myself. I have two separate black/grey tanks with separate valves on my Gateway 3650BH. I didn't think it would be too much of an issue, but even with two hoses and a Y adapter it still is a pain sometimes due to the location of the rear valve...

    ATF: Gateway - Help with battery identification

    Hi Jim.Allison, I see in your sig that you have the Onan generator on your BC. Typically, if you have a generator Heartland will only put 1 battery in. If you have no generator and the inverter setup running a residential refrigerator, you will get two batteries. Hope this saves you a call...

    Problem with BBQ and gas line

    +1 for Swift. I've had my 3650BH for 6 months and I realized real quick I wasn't going to be utilizing the rear BBQ area. The location is just not very practical. I will actually be taking mine off before the next trip.

    ATF: Gateway - 3650BH TV mount options in master bedroom

    FYI - I just called Heartland yesterday and they said there was no backing put in mine. Mine rolled off of the line in December 2013. Looks like not all of the units are getting the backing in the master. :confused:

    which TOW vehicle gets best fuel mileage towing and empty?

    This is completely off topic here but I'm curious, what do you run in your airbags? I'm still trying to find the right pressure. Went all the way up to 60 psi, but the trailer was nose up, resulting in a lot of trailer sway. Back down to 40 psi, but I'm still about 1.5" nose up.

    which TOW vehicle gets best fuel mileage towing and empty?

    Hi Miltp920, +1 for Bob & Patty. There are many factors involved that contribute to gas mileage. I've got a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins (6 spd manual) short bed towing a 2014 Gateway 3650BH. I haven't officially weighed her yet, but Heartland says GVWR is 15,500. I've only had my rig for...

    Gateway - Fridge function

    Re: ATF: Gateway - Fridge function Hi rjf199, There should be a white panel switch opposite your main entry door that controls the inverter. I believe mine is the top right switch. Simply hold that switch down for a few seconds until the green light goes out. Even if your main batteries are...

    Picking up our 3650BH this weekend!

    Congrats rjf99!! I also have the same unit and am pretty happy with the Heartland quality so far. In addition to what everyone else has already stated I would pay special attention to the shower track to make sure it is installed with the drain holes facing INWARDS towards the tub. Also verify...

    Gateway 3650BH

    Hi Costafamily6, I also purchased the GW 3650BH late last year and am experiencing the same issue. There is little to no airflow in the rear bedroom and what air does blow is not warm. The front bedroom and bathroom stay quite warm while the rear bedroom is 10-15 degrees cooler. I have...

    ATF: Gateway - Gateway 3650BH - Furnace Vent Airflow

    Thanks for the replies John and 1woodwork!! Sounds like this is a known issue in these larger rigs. I just upgraded from a 31' bumper pull toy hauler and the heater in that thing would literally smoke you out it got so hot. I assumed this new rig would be even more efficient as it is 9 years...

    ATF: Gateway - Gateway 3650BH - Furnace Vent Airflow

    Just purchased a 2014 Gateway 3650BH. In using the furnace the first night we noticed there is a small amount of air in the kitchen area (the largest area) and no airflow in the rear bedroom. The front bedroom airflow is OK and the bathroom is overly warm in my opinion. Is this a known issue in...

    New Gateway 3650BH Inspection Help!

    Thanks so much Danemeyer!! That was it. Didn't think to check the fan speed for auto. It only got down to 37 where we're staying but we still got pretty cold. Had to get our 9 month son and put him in our bed, which means my wife and I didn't sleep a wink!! Lol. Glad we got the heater sorted...

    New Gateway 3650BH Inspection Help!

    Thanks for the good info Dave!! We just picked up our new Gateway this morning and are spending our very first night in it tonight before heading for home tomorrow. We really took our time on the walk through and only found some very minor stuff. One of the latches on the rear bunk beds wasn't...

    New Gateway 3650BH Inspection Help!

    Thanks for the quick reply danemayer!! Those are some really good suggestions. I'll have my wife video tape the whole thing so we can refer back to it later if needed. Think we'll stay somewhere close to the dealer for a couple days just to give it a shakedown. If we have any issues we can take...

    New Gateway 3650BH Inspection Help!

    Hi All: My wife and I were at the Pomona CA RV show back in October with my out-laws. They bought a beautiful new Monaco coach and we just fell in love with the Gateway 3650BH, so we put one on order. We are upgrading from a bumper pull toy hauler. I'm really excited for the extra space and...

    Gateway Residential Fridge

    Thanks for the heads up BigJohn! We will be picking up our GW 3650 mid December down in Palm Desert CA and I will definitely make a mental note to check the fridge mount. Hopefully they've improved it by then! Good luck with your rig and safe travels.
