Since I've gotten a few messages about updates, I thought I'd let everyone know we continue to work with Heartland on this. These are the most recent pictures sent over to them.

Still working with heartland, they seem to be as concerned as we are. More to come, brad Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Thank you for that, just to confirm this is the factory paint on the trailer, original, from the factory. I've also been doing a little research online and everything does point to issues during the initial application/preparation of the trailer when the factory paint was applied. I need to...

I didn't know, and we have a new TV on the way and have always had a saw dust problem after being on the road.... In case you all were curious. We may decide to have the new TV closer to the front of the space, I think what we've got coming is thinner than the insignia. Sent from my Pixel 5...

Just off the phone with Heartland customer service, they are looking into which paint shop painted the unit and are going to reach out to them. Nothing concrete yet. My wife and I looked online at the latest models, I will say we love this 3270RS. We went all in when we got it, dual heat...

Here's an example of what I hadn't noticed previously, and there are many even smaller

thanks, I didn't really think it was because we keep it outside, but I am glad to hear that for sure. Our winters in Seattle compare nothing to those in the midwest. The more and closer I look, the more widespread I find the issue to be, some bubbles are really really really small and...

Yeah that's what I told my wife, thankfully we can't see the issue from inside the coach :) It's all over, doors, main panels, slides, both sides alike. We just use car soap to wash it once in a while. I looked more closely last night, there is no evidence of anything on the surface of the...

My third attempt to summarize the email from heartland, and not violate forum rules. Below is a heavily redacted version of the email I received, which does not contain personal information or direct quotes from that email. My interpretation of this email is that Heartland is dismissing the...

General question about all Heartland RVs factory paint I have a general question generally about Heartland RVs .... We are experiencing issues with our factory paint, Do you all see this as a general problem with factory paint and heartland RVs? Would love to hear your experience &...

I received the following from heartland. It appears Heartland RV's can only be used indoors because it will bring attention to faulty factory paint jobs. I am astonished by this response will be calling tomorrow to escalate. buyer beware, your expensive factory paint job paint may fail before...

Thanks Jim, will do that tomorrow. I'll wait to "pop" one until asked. Based on experience and what I've heard, I'm sure heartland will help figure this out and make it right. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

It's a 2018 so I'm more than a little surprised by this... Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Went out today to check on the trailer, it's winter here but the rig is winterized and we keep a dehumidifier and the heat at 45F. Much to my surprise I noticed many small pimples from under the factory paint. (We got the full paint). Anyone seen anything like this before? Will be calling the...

Thanks, it took longer to dig up four sets of bolts from the "bucket of misc" then to put it all together. I don't think anyone will ever notice the stainless steel washers, zinc nuts and galvanized bolt combo :) Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

Meaning you drilled through and used bolts from the cargo bay? ( Or you used screws?) Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

I should note, there is a piece of 1/2" plywood behind the carpeted OSB for a little extra strength. Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

We upgraded to a 3000w inverter and I'm thinking we can do better than drywall screws into the battery bay backer board. Does anyone know if you can drill through the battery bay into the cargo area? I'd like to mount the inverter with some long bolts instead... Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

Here's how we did it, I went looking for the longest TV mount I could find, this one was about 20" if I recall... https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?p=618593 Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

Pretty much the original, with the exception of the last panel with the outlet, it ended up moving back about an inch, just to keep it in line with the others. Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

Now that the walls are stable.... We finally have a place for the TV. Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

Home Depot. I went hoping for the C channel, even bought some but ended up returning it. Sent from my BLA-L29 using Tapatalk

I've been meaning to do this for a while. 2 pieces of 1/2" angle aluminum along the bottom and 2 pieces of 1" angle aluminum along the top. The aluminum is installed back to back to form a channel as thick as the osb and carpet. They panels did need to be cut down about 1/2" in height each to...

That's brilliant. I never even considered starting with a combo and adding a single later :) I think DW is gonna make the call here though, most likely splendide seperate units. It's really hard to find complaints about them. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

Good point, we have a 2015 F350 SRW diesel. Looks like it can do 15,700 for a fifth wheel and I think the 3270 comes in at 12k. We haul some stuff, but I hope not 3k! Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

We are eagerly awaiting our BH and are starting to plan out the steps after we pick it up in June. Based on everything I've read, it seems like a vented dryer is the way to go but I don't see many conversations about stacking seperate units vs an all in one. I think the closet in the 3270 can...

@jbeletti- thanks again. How does the integration with the thermostat work out? Are you simply setting cool to 72 and the heat pump takes over? Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

@jbeletti- thanks. Yeah, that's my hope... A change order to have them installed instead of the stnd AC. Does anyone have them? Success? Failure? I know the furnace need to be run to keep the tanks from freezing but is the heat pump/AC unit good to 38? 45? I'd love to know what model the...

Just curious if there is an option available to have the ACs upgraded to heat pump versions? We ordered just last week and I didn't even consider it as an possibility. Any one know? Brad Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

We considered a similar approach, manual transfer between the meter and house and an inlet attached to the manual transfer. We had an electrician bid on the install. Current code in our area requires 4 wires from the meter to the house, we have three. Have the fourth wire run was cost...

@tom. Thanks again for the help. Buying an RV is a big decision, we are way more comfortable going with BH, if only because we can reach out and talk to the people making it. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

While it's there, these guys did a really nice job with 3270 photographs. ( I am not associated with them in any manner ) We nabbed them to have something while we wait. @tom how about a high-resolution big Horn photo library that is maintained to show differences like ^^^...

Here's a list of what we noticed... 2 piece furion oven and cooktop instead of single. Legless dining room table. USB ports by bed. Decorative paneling behind headboard. Ceiling looks more like plank wood than wallpaper. Roof construction is different, batt insulation, no fantastic fan in...

How did you get a picture of our trailer already??? It hasn't even been built. That color scheme is perfect for us. Talk soon. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

I should have provided some context to that remark, it was intended to mean cheaper when compared to the other paint schemes. Not cheap by any means, just a little cheaper, like maybe .001% [emoji1] Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

@tom I'll give you a call in the AM. Any number better than the main one? Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

I agree with that completely. Part of the equation for us is we are in zone 6, so the recovery rate based on the number of panels is much higher than the rest of the US. We also love going out to the coast in the middle of the winter when the sunrise is at 8 and set at 4. The other thing is the...

Our current is 30, and the new 35. I've only every towed the old and our limiting factor is our own driveway and ability to turn the coach around in place. We're at the top of a big hill so backing in isn't feasible... I'm looking forward to the camera though, that will help minimize the pain of...

Hey all- We're starting to think about the long term solar design for our 3270RS. One of the design constraints will be the roof surface area and the maximum number of panels that can go up top. Knowing this will help set the battery, inverter, and controller size. Has anyone done solar up...
