    2015 Big Horn 3750FL

    Back in 2013 or 14 I took my 5th wheel to a consignment shop to be sold and they discovered there was a soft place in the rear end of the living room slide floor and quoted me several thousand $'s to fix it. I went and picked the trailer up and had my mobile repair guy repair it. He didn't...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    I was in Aransas Pass for 3 months this past winter and personally, I would not take my Landmark which is about the same size as a Cyclone on one of those Ferrys. I have a friend who tried to take his Landmark across and the tide was out and they wouldn't let him and he had to go around the...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: AL, South Foley - 4/23/2021 to 4/25/2021

    A guy working on my slide toppers a couple of days ago discovered about an 8" crack in the gel coat running up from the corner of the kitchen slide opening. I guess it would be smarter to tow it to a fiberglass repair place around here than on a 1,400 mile round trip. I am sorry, but I...

    Had an accident with my new camper yesterday, I removed the door when i put the slide out.

    Welcome to the club. On the shake down trip with my new Gateway 3300ML rear kitchen, the first time I opened the living room slide that had one of the kitchen lower cabinets in it, I heard that dreaded crunching noise and discovered the lower cabinet drawer had come open in travel. It was...

    Dometic Thermostat

    Dan, I don't know if I have the Whisper Quiet AC or not. My Grand Canyon is a 2015 and was built in early April of 2014, so I guess the AC's are whatever they put on the roof at that time. As for the fuses, I checked them and I couldn't see anything wrong. I will get the RV repair guy to...

    Dometic Thermostat

    Jim, I guess I didn't make myself clear. From about 7:30 AM Monday till about noon today we were without electricity and running the heater kept me warm until about dark when the batteries drained out. A friend loaned me a generator and I hooked a small electric heater to it and made it...

    Dometic Thermostat

    Dan, this thermostat is handling both the AC and Heat, and I think the problem right now might be with the "heat mode", but I guess the problem could be with either unit. Should I suggest he check the heater first and if it is OK then the AC on the roof. And if that doesn't work, I guess I can...

    Dometic Thermostat

    I am down by Corpus Christi, and last night almost froze to death, no electricity and dead batteries and then about noon today power is turned back on and the heater started right up. Only problem is the thermostat is set at 75 degrees, it won't change up or down nor can you cut it off. But it...

    Sailun Truck Tires????

    Probably going to be new tire time for my truck in the next few months or so. I know a good many folks including myself are using Sailuns on their trailers, but can't think of anyone who is using them on their trucks. I am very pleased with the Sailuns on my trailer and was wondering how they...

    RecPro Replacement Furniture

    One of the reasons I was only looking at RV furniture was the fact that, while I don't really need it now, a future new owner might want a sofa bed and as best I can remember, back in the day, sofa beds were pretty heavy. Plus, the one we had would have been a nightmare to get up into the...

    RecPro Replacement Furniture

    The sofa in my 2015 Landmark manufactured in April of 2014 decided to start it's expected disintegration process about 2 months ago so I have started looking for a replacement. RecPro looks like it may be one of the best sources for a new sofa. I ordered fabric samples so I could see what...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Erika, you know I was kidding about wanting you to do it, but had you said, "Yeah, bring it on up" we would have gotten to visit some in person. LOL It really looks nice, so I may think about it. Thanks for sending me the link.

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Erica, that looks nice. What do you charge to install? I am down here not too far from Cisco with nothing to do, I can be up there in a few days for the installation. :D

    Heartland Owners Club News - Phasing out of Region Rallies

    Frank, I agree with you completely, it's not about getting free T-shirts, etc, I already have more than I can ever wear in the few years left for me, it is about getting together with old friends and meeting new ones. Driving back from a rally in New Mexico last year, I got to thinking and...

    Mystery switch.

    It was just like one of the ceiling lights, DC, but it was mounted on top of the cabinet facing up and had a toggle switch on it. It could not be seen from standing on the floor. My guess is the "toggle switch" was supposed to be on all the time and the off and on function was controlled by...

    Mystery switch.

    I had a 2014 Gateway 3300ML that had a "mystery switch". There was a wall cabinet with a fireplace in the bottom and a TV above it. One day, I was on a ladder for some reason, can't remember what and happened to look over on top of the TV/fireplace cabinet and there was a light up there facing...

    Re: It’s been a great ride! Jim, Lil Guy texted me a few minutes ago and suggested I check the Forum. I am shocked they took a step like that, what a stupid move on their part. I guess the powers that be think they are the reason there is such product loyalty among Owner's Club Members. They...
