We had one, it was complete junk, I don't think it made 2 bags of ice. We didn't get it in before warranty ran out, now it is in the dumpster. Don't buy Emerson.

Re: Airsafe 20k binkley hitch We have a Airsafe and run it at 85 pounds, this puts it right where it should be pulling our Big Country.

Hope it wasn't us..... But we won't be in Arizona until November 1st.

I have found in the midwest, South Dakota, Nebraska area, there is a short window. After Labor Day and before the snowbirds buy new rvs to head south. We found September to be the best months for deals. Every part of the country is different. In Arizona the dealers will start finally getting...

We fought this every summer for years in several different rv's. We worked camp at a place that had well water. All was well for a few months, every summer, then the smell came. I used to drain the hot water heater, disconnect the water hose, fill the water hose up with bleach, hook hose back up...

Re: simple survey We do too. Really don't know anybody that doesn't.

Re: What is the best system We have Dish HD and love it. We have a small hand built stand for our dish, that we move to wherever to get a signal. We like the fact that we can run both tvs on seperate channels with one reciever.

When I retired from my full time work to workcamp type work, a friend of mine gave me one. He works for Napa Auto parts, so I assume he purchased it there. Works great for us.

Re: BigCountry Bedroom A/C vibrating/noisy and Livingroom A/C very little output I agree with all the above. I do wonder some times if our old 34 foot 5th wheel was so much better insulated, or the single air conditioner, was so much better or..... is it just that the BIG country is just so big...

We bought it new in December of 2009 at Boerne Texas and our salesman said it had just come in. He had several Big Countrys there but this one was the only one there that had the floor plan we wanted. The paint problem just started showing up this year.

Our Big Country was sold to us as a 2011 but on the serial number plate it says 2009, has faded really bad on the front cap. All our moulding has fallen off, we replaced it all by ourselves, Heartland supplied some of it. Now all the window mouldings have shrunk and the assist handle by the...

The park we stay at here in Yuma charges 15 cents a KW. While we are here we average about 35.00 a month electricity. We do watch it, here is what we do. We leave water heater off until 4 Pm, that night we wash dishes, take our showers, shut water heater off at about 10 PM. We operate water...

We work in the summer at a rv camp that now allows no dogs. The owner finally had enough of nonresponsible owners. We are snowbirds and winter down south at a rv park that allows no dogs. We like animals but we get enough of irresponsible owners when we go for walks and come back with dirty...

Re: ATF: Big Country - 3450TS Heighth Ours goes in a shed that has a 14 foot high door on it. We have a lot of clearance.

We also have the masterflow. It is small but really works, it will pump our tires up to 110 pounds in a short time. We always carry it in the Jeep when we are out off roading.

Ours did the same thing, Heartland sent us some replacement, it did the same thing we finally just replaced it all with insert molding we found on ebay, now our front gray cap is fading on top, also our black trim shrunk badly around each of our windows. We like the rv inside but the outside is...

We have 3 camping friends here in the campground that have portable ice makers so we don't ever have to buy ice. Most everyone I talked to recommends the one from Target for price and performance. I was going to purchase one too, but with friends having so much ice we just buy water for them to...

We use a air hitch on our truck it has 4 airbags that allow movement in all directions, we think it works way better then a air pinbox that only moves up and down.

We had the same problem the second time we set the rv up. After numerous leveling tries ect, I finally decided that the slide had worn in or something. My solution was to go to Home Depot and get a oversized striker plate and with a Dremel we removed some of the wood where the striker plate...

We have a Big Country and it also has the freeze up issue with the water line going to the pump from fresh water tank. We stuck a thermometer probe down below the kitchen sink, by the drain pipe, into the underneath, to find out what the actual temperature was there. When outside temperature was...

Our 2011 is doing the same thing, wondering if you could purchase a touchup paint to repair it. It is just the top 2 feet. Looks terrible.

Today while traveling down to Texas on a round about loop to Arizona the Pressure Pro went off in heavy interstate traffic. I was down to 88 pounds of on one of the trailer tires. We have onboard air on the truck, so after pulling over on the shoulder, I quickly aired the tire back up to 110 and...

We had furnace problems last winter, only time furnace would run was to turn thermoststat manualy on and off. Furnace would start then reach temperature and shut off. Would not cycle again unless you turned it off and on at thermostat. Once while furnace was running I tried to light the burner...

We have Pressure Pro, once we had a valve core leaking and pressure pro caught it. Started the day 8 pounds down put air in tire. 2 days later when we were leaving the campground, it alerted again, same tire. Tightened up the valve core and had no further problems. Possibly if the Pressure pro...

Re: Rubber molding/trim All our molding has fallen off now, we started talking to Heartland and our dealer, some satisfaction, but mostly run around. Finally we went to Ebay and bought some silver molding. We really like the silver color over the light gray. Takes about 200 feet to do all of...

Our 2011 has the inset trim falling off since warranty has ran out. At first I contacted Heartland and they wouldn't replace it but our dealer replaced about 50 feet of it. They supplied the trim we put it on. I wanted all the trim as I knew it would continue to fall off, it did, nobody would...

Thanks for everyone's advice. We were finally able to get a repairman from the nearest town to fix it. It was the capacitator. Haven't recieved the bill yet but the nearest rv airconditioner repairman was about 225 miles away. So I will probably have to pay it but we are cool.

Well it finally happened, I was hoping it never would but it did. Our main air conditioner quit yesterday, 99 degree day in Nebraska. Today our temperature hit 106. We have a big problem as we work camp all summer, we are no where near a dealer and couldn't leave our jobs even if a dealer was...

After trying everything listed above to get a signal from Dish DVR up to the bedroom tv, I gave up. I finally just ran a cable on the floor from the dvr to the steps, then thru the furnance vent area, then into the under step area, where I found the cable that goes up to the bedroom. Then I...

I can't believe the news coverage today, Saturday, on tv is still on this wedding. One of the biggest natural disasters in our nations history has occured here at home, and all we here on tv is about the dress. No wonder people are turning away from news programs. I wouldn't have even heard...

I was told that you are not to use the axel for jacking purposes............ I have on other trailers.

Glad I learned this. I was going to buy one of those yellow plastic tire changing aides, after reading this I will pass. Just have to take a chance jacking up on that high frame.

We have had 5 fifth wheels now and our Big Country is the only one we had to replace the mattress in. Ours developed deep depressions in it after about 8 months of use, tried to get dealer to warranty it but quit after dealer said they would just replace it with the same junk. Finally bit the...

We had a tire that kept losing about 11 pounds of air or so, every few days. Our Pressure Pro notified us each time. I decided to tighten up the valve core and it stopped the leak. No problems in 7 months now.

When our furnance was having the same issue, our propane regulator was set to low. When the furnance would run, if you used the kitchen stove burner the furnance would quit. Had regulator adjusted and have not had a problem since.

Our expierience, don't know if this will also be your problem. When we went back to the campground with new rv, we didn't have enough water pressure to even take a shower ect. We ended up taking every faucet areator off and they were filled with plastic filings. Shower head ect., after cleaning...

Really starting to wonder on the frame warranty and hitches. When we bought our rv new we wanted a hitch so we could pull our Jeep behind, when we heard you couldn't install a hitch without voiding warranty we hesitated. Yesterday I was out on my walk and saw a new Big Country with a heavy duty...

We stopped in Roswell, New Mexico and had our king bed custom made there. Factory bed was completely worthless after nine months.

We have removed our tv several times, you just unscrew the three screws from the top wood valance. Then you can lift the tv up out of it's mount. Reinstall the same way. We have a Toshiba tv in our Big Country.

Just went out and looked at our ladder again and sure enough one of the plastic rung ends is cracked out. Last person on our roof was a washing crew from Yuma, I don't think anyone on the crew was over 150 pounds. Sure wish Heartland would realize they have a problem there and get replacements...
