    Need Input for advance planning Nor-Cal Rally

    Our Rally this year will be either late Summer or very Early fall. The location is up to all of my wonderful Heartlander's. We can do Oroville KOA again, which is always a nice location with a lot of perks for us, or we can try a new location in Nor-Cal. Keep in mind that the fall and summers...

    On Our Way to Elkhart, need some travel tips.

    We will be headed to Elkhart around the 22 of February from Northern CA, to be in Elkhart on the 28th. Obviously the route we take will depend on the weather at the time, but we are looking at I-80 if weather holds and south to I-40 then up if it doesn't. 80 is 700 miles shorter, so is...

    Nor Cal Spring Rally on hold. Ideas Please?

    Well, folks, looks like my Spring rally is on hold for a bit and will turn into a Summer or Fall Rally. I took a job that was supposed to be part time, but in reality, is full time for awhile. The job, coupled with family health issues has forced me to admit that I can't do this for a month or...

    Things I Have Learned About RV's This Week...

    These are the customer issues we have had in the last few days. Makes us all feel better about our own "oopsies". 1. If your wife tells you you're going to hit the tree and you keep driving, you WILL rip your refrigerator vent right off the roof. On the upside, they're not that expensive and...

    I have joined the Dark Side.

    Waiting for Ray to retire, and needed something to do, unemployment stunk. Just finishing my 2nd week of employment with a local RV parts and service center. Just a lot of fun. OK money, but the perks are great. Big discount on Parts and I get to see the new stuff first. Flexible schedule so I...

    NorCal Rally dates preferred?

    Looks like Oroville KOA again, as it was a great park and worked out well last time. Looking at either the last week of March or first week of April. Any preferences from those planning to attend? I will set the date next week after hearing back from you all. To those that haven't attend a Nor...

    Two sightings today and neither on I-5

    Was an apparently lost Landmark in front of me on the freeway frontage road on the way to work this a.m., towed by Gray Chevy pick up and I just looked up from my desk to see an new Edge driving down Shasta Dam Blvd. Unusual to see any Heartlands here other than the ones I know. Boy, does that...

    Electric to Hydraulic Jacks - anyone done this?

    After spending the weekend with a friend and their new Titanium, we are wondering about changing our electric front jacks to hydraulic. Has anyone else done this or thought about it? Seems to be not a tough thing to do, but wondering if we need to get a bigger pump and reservoir or would the...

    Nor-Cal Mini Rally?

    Any interest in having a small group at Oroville's Feather Falls KOA? The last week or two of March? The park is small (45 spaces) but very nice. They have a heated pool, spa and of course the casino within walking distance. Nice club house. Let me know, we'll be staying there again the...

    Heartlands at Oroville

    Another Bighorn and a Sundance are here at the Feather Falls KOA. cold and damp here so no signs of activity yet. Only a 45 space park so to have three here is more than we usually see, especially this far north in CA. Good trip, but if you leave your faucets open after draining the water out...

    Big Horn at Diamond Lake RV park, Oregon.

    Don't know who it is yet, but there's another one here. No sightings since we left Shasta Lake except this one. Will be moving in the direction of the Oregon Coast during the next week. F-350 is doing a great job so far, not even struggling on the road thru Crater Lake.

    New to us TV and B&W hitch, input wanted

    OK, we did a bad thing. Bought a 2005 F350 PSD dually last night. We had an F250 7.3 and loved it, but were right at the ragged edge of weight limits. Traded both it and an F-150 we had in on the dually. Looking for input from owners as to anything to watch out for, maintenence tips, etc. We...

    Coby Factory Replacement?

    Question for anyone who has recently replaced the Coby system under warranty. Is the HL factory still replacing the Coby's with Coby's? Ours is starting to bite the dust (big surprise) but won't bother to warranty it if they're going to replace it with the same one. Ours is stopping in the...

    Suburban Water Heater Door. What color?

    Lost the door on our water heater coming home last week. Have tried to order a new one from the dealer, but found out from Surburban the door is only available in a "door-kit". Not too happy, but oh well. Now the question. What color is on my early 2008 Bighorn? Polar white or colonial white? I...

    Floor Cleaning? - Vinyl

    Because our trailer was on the dealers lot, they covered the carpet with vinyl, and taped down the edges. Despite cleaning with everything I could think of, (magic ereaser included) I still have a residue where the tape was. It's no longer sticky, and looks clean after I mop it, but begins...

    Very Happy Heartland Customer

    (long story) Kudos to Heartland and our dealer. I've been meaning to post an update to my December/January Leak issue, but thought I'd better wait until I had complete resolution. As a few may remember, I had a horrible leak in the back corner of our 3370. After asking for suggestions on the...

    ? about TV straps

    Ready to take the BH in to the dealer tomorrow and making our list of little stuff for them to fix. If anyone has the swing-out style 26" TV in a 3370, (or similar) can they tell me if there are 2 safety straps or just one? We have one across the end,which keeps the TV from swinging out during...

    Bighorn spotted in Red Bluff, CA

    Anyone on this site? We were going to Corning on Friday and I spotted the Bighorn in the Rest area just north of Red Bluff on I-5. We never see one that's not on a dealer lot, so it was surprising to me as I looked out the window and saw one. Black truck pulling it. Our Bighorn preformed...

    Slide Leak part 2

    I don't think it's the slide leaking. I stood and watched where the water was running. (no jokes about not enough sense to come in out of the rain..:) ) Anyway, the gutter where the roof rolls over has a seam in it and a low place right above where it's wet on the inside. Water is pouring down...

    How Many Heartlands In No. Ca And So. Oregon?

    Really Noisy Ceiling Fan. Anyone else?

    Having unseasonably warm weather here, so turned on the living room ceiling fan this weekend. Really noisy. Don't know if this is common considering the less than solid mounting place, (living room vent) or should we put it on our repair list? We did turn it on during our PDI, but just to make...

    Plumbing Fixture Questions

    We picked up our BH 3370 on Oct 12. Really nice rig and we are happy with the overall quality of the unit. My question is more of a decor issue than function. In the bath, door handle, faucet and shower frame are all bronze color. What was supplied for Tp holder, tooth brush holder and soap...
