    New Bighorn line up??

    Yes it does. We have one and love it. They discontinued our floor-plan, but other manufacturers are still making it. We see a lot of the BH Travelers and I think that line did in the BC because people think they are getting a BH but at a lower cost than a BC.

    2011 North Trail 32BUDS remodel help

    Just like in a sticks and bricks, you will need to expose the wall and ceiling to determine if it is load bearing. As far as parts, I would bet you cannot get any specific to the OEM that were installed. My son and I did a complete remodel on a Thor we used to own and purchased most of what we...

    Dometic Blizzard NXT

    When it starts up it cools like it always has and very well. It is intermittently not starting the compressor right now. I clean the unit twice a year. I do not want to install a soft start capacitor, I want to replace the hard start and run capacitors. I have a new run but not a new hard start...

    Hooks for Ford's Super Duty hitches

    I used these for years when I was farming. I didn't lose a trailer but pulled a lot of heavy machinery with them. https://www.myteeproducts.com/g100-coupling-links.html

    Dometic Blizzard NXT

    Our 15k is starting to show signs of being worn out after 7 years. Since we are currently traveling I am going to start with replacing the capacitor which I have already found. I was thinking while I am up there of replacing the hard start as well. All I can find online are only compatible with...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: CO, Colorado Springs - 07/25/24 to 07/28/24

    Depending on how well a rally is run, you can do all of those things. Some rallies are just gatherings of long time friends. We have been to quite a few, and used to be able to rally our way across the country. We have not been to one since they did away with regional and state chapter leaders.

    Absolute Nightmare

    How long did it sit between bringing it home and getting ready for your trip? Word to the wise, don't ever just leave it sit without checking on it from time to time. I hope they get this taken care of. Sounds pretty bad...

    Full time RV is your home

    We have our DL's in South Dakota. They have been real ID compliant since 2020. We have been through tsa numerous times without issue. I believe they get by with it by requiring extra documentation. I will provide a link. Unfortunately your state is just as eager to pin everyone down as the feds...

    Slide roof

    That is what I am in the process of doing now.

    Slide roof

    I am not sure. From what I read the tan roof on mine is a different material than the slides that are white.

    Slide roof

    Does anyone know what they put on the slide roofs? I am guessing TPO but want some other opinions or facts.

    Banking

    We have been full-timing for the last 7 years. Today I received a notice from Wells Fargo stating they are going to close our accounts because they do not recognize our SD mailbox service address. Has anyone had this happen? Do you have a bank that doesn't care about this?

    How and Should I fix/upgrade my TT brakes?

    Have you tried shopping local? Last bearing issue I had ruined the spindle so we put new axles in. We had them made at a local shop. I didnt have to concern myself with drums as I converted to disk brakes, but they had a whole pile of them. That was in Colorado.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    I appreciate your help with this. The 2nd and third breakers were reversed. The panel was correct. Took me about 3 minutes to put them in the correct position and so far so good. Thanks again!

    AC outlets not working

    That has happened to us a couple of times. You just have to find which outlet feeds the ones that are out and you most likely have a press in wire loose. I always replace them with a residential outlet at that point.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    I would like it to be that way except my readout is saying I am drawing about 36 amps on L-1 and only 3 on L-2. Also L-1 is showing 105v and L-2 is reading 118v.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    Its a Progressive dynamics power center Model PD55K000. If I am understanding you correctly, if the breakers are labeled correctly, what I could do is get a dual 20 amp and a dual 15 amp, run the wires accordingly and should then have an AC on each leg. If that is the case I can handle that just...

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    No they are both drawing about the same as yours, just on one leg. L-2 only has about a 3 amp draw on it.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    I want to make sure I understand you correctly before I try this. After the main 50 amp breaker, I have dual 15/20 breakers the rest of the way across.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    I will look into doing that. I was unaware that each ac needed to be on a different leg. We have been living in this rig for 6 years without issue. We did find out yesterday that it is an issue with the pedestal. It keeps dropping power and the hotter it gets outside the worse it gets. They have...

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    The park is not full at all but will be coming this weekend. Unfortunately we are at a dreaded buddy site park but currently do not have a neighbor sharing the pedestal. The awning side neighbor is not having power issues. There are a couple of huge MH's down the line from us, but 3 empty sites...

    It seems that way. I have tried to understand why the factory wired it like that but I guess its above my pay grade.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    The 2 previous parks we were at to this one we had zero issues. I want to say it is a power issue here, but I am not ruling out the rig either. Appreciate the help.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    We have everything else off but a couple of computer monitors. We have the dual fridge not the residential. Could one of the ac's be drawing to much power? We are averaging a 22 amp pull right now. When I turn the front ac on the L-1 voltage drops to 103 which is enough to shut the rig off I...

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    Our surge protector is hardwired. It keeps shutting off the power and the readout is showing the E4 code. If I shut down one ac or the other, the power stays on. While I am waiting for them to come and check the pedestal, I got to wondering what the normal readouts should be as far as each leg...

    "length" vs "flexibility" with campsite restrictions

    Our rig is 44 ft long. While we have some issues getting into places, we also do some heavy research to make sure we fit. Our biggest problem is when an rv park says they have a site that will accommodate us, the parking for our pickup is very minimal. We stay in many state parks without issue...

    Extended stay resorts

    Most places have a better price for month long stays. Some do not as they are only open part of the year and can almost charge whatever they want. We use the rv trip wizard because it is attached to a rv park review website, and we get some good information from that including nightly price per...

    Level up

    The jacks are not leaking, it is the orange return hoses that are. I can replace myself, I just needed to know what end needs to be on them.

    Level up

    I need to replace a couple of lines for the Levelup system that are leaking badly. I cannot just take them off and run down to have new ones made. Does anyone know what type of ends need to be on the lines to connect properly? I know the psi needs to be 3k or higher as these are the crappy...

    50 to 80 amp breaker swap

    I am finally getting around to the swap due to the leveling stopping and starting 3-4 times when retracting, and the main slides stopping at least once when retracting. I have the new 80 amp breaker that Lippert recommended awhile back. I believe I also need to go with a bigger wire as well. My...

    Has anyone repaired or replaced a slideout ram cylinder?

    I replaced mine years ago. It is helpful to have assistance. Also, make sure to measure where your adjustment nuts are before you take it apart.

    Quality of workmanship by Heartland

    We have a 2017 and have had our share of issues. We count our blessings though compared to the problems many are having with new ones these days. Those same issues make us dread needing to replace our current rig. We have put about 8k a year on it for the last 6. Not sure how much longer it will...

    Heartland Owner's Club to Continue in 2022 and Beyond

    Once again, as proven time and time again, once the suits get a hold of something (logo change), it gets ruined. It is obvious that the folks making this decision have zero idea of what they are doing. Make it better for the club? Making things more difficult on the chapter leaders doesn't make...
