    Saliun S637 235/85/R16 G. Tire Pressure

    I personally don't believe tires are such a huge issue on a triple axle trailer. My old fifth wheel was a King of the road that weighed about 18k. The trailer was rated for E rated tires and that is all I ever ran. I can't remember the brand, but the original set I ran on it I bought because...

    Another Blowmax victim

    I just wanted to take a minute to update. I don't think there is a lot of damage but I won't know until I get back home to Oklahoma, which could be a while. It doesn't look like there was really any damage to the floor, minus some coating that been scraped off part of it. Heartland had...

    Another Blowmax victim

    Limp means driving 50 after putting on the spare in worry that another tire is going to go.

    Another Blowmax victim

    Well I wasn't going to post because there are already enough stories out there, but I figure every new thread out there might help someone to decide to not trust these tires and get them changed. I was 970 miles into an 1050 mile trip, with about 3k total on my towmax tires when one popped on...

    Lost power in half of camper

    This happened to me at home a few weeks ago. Do you happen to be using a dogbone? I was at home and just using 110 to power the trailer when I lost half of my power. I plugged the trailer into my welding machine which has 50 amp service and everything was perfect. Changed the dogbone and it...

    Heartland authorized easy fixes instead of proper fixes?

    I believe it's taken a lot of prodding via this forum, but if they follow through, Heartland may yet win me over. I had some issues with the work performed by the service center I used. I did not mention it because I felt that I chose the location to have it serviced so my issues with them did...

    Heartland authorized easy fixes instead of proper fixes?

    Bob, is the replacement of the trailer for a bad wire unrealistic and extreme? Absolutely. The problem is where do alternative fixes to factory issues stop? If my power outlet in my washer/dryer closet had a problem and they said they can't get to the wiring so I could either just not have a...

    Heartland authorized easy fixes instead of proper fixes?

    I thought I had replied to this several days ago, but it's just as well that I didn't as I now have more to add anyway. I heard from my Heartland rep today. Apparently one wire can be catastrophic because they ran the wires before the roof was put on. This is what the rep told me. He said that...

    Heartland authorized easy fixes instead of proper fixes?

    The tech did call me for authorization before making the repair that was authorized by heartland. I gave him the go ahead because he said that fix is what heartland would approve. This was verified by the heartland rep telling me he had the name of the person the rep talked to and he was trying...

    Heartland authorized easy fixes instead of proper fixes?

    Well this thread did get me a call from Heartland. They are looking into this now. The Heartland Rep that called me does have the name of the person at Heartland my tech talked to, and he was checking into alternatives but apparently Heartland has already quit making the 3855fl so he is having a...

    Heartland authorized easy fixes instead of proper fixes?

    Hello danemayer, If memory serves, the tech just told me that it was a wire from the thermostat in an inaccessible location. Saying between the thermostat and furnace is my words. My trailer may be different since it is a front living room. The thermostat in the living room only controls the...

    Anyone having trouble with warranty work?

    It may depend on circumstance. I just dropped off my Bighorn at a independent repair shop for warranty work on a heater fuse that kept blowing. The problem was in a wire that is inaccessible without tearing the rig down and Heartland would not authorize a repair of that size for a single wire...

    Heartland authorized easy fixes instead of proper fixes?

    I recently took my 2013 Bighorn 3855fl in for service before the warranty ran out. I could not find a Heartland dealer that could get it in in a reasonable to me amount of time as most places were 6-8 weeks to look at it, so I took it to an independent rv repair facility. My main problem with...
