Thanks John, I'll check but the walls were dry and only place that was wet was the floor around where the slide out and the rear wall come together. I checked seals but couldn't find any water coming through. I will check the caulking around the rear window - the cap is okay, I already looked...

Okay, I've been reading and researching on the forum and have a couple of questions/issues. After a long dry spell we had 4 inches of rain. I discovered a large wet spot on the carpet at the rear of the coach around the LR/DR slide-out. I inspected seals and cannot find any place water is coming...

I had two clips holding the sink in on either side of the faucet and none on the other three sides. To put them in my 3600 RL I had to take out the tilt out drawers and a couple of drawers beside the sink, as well as get under the sink from the storage cabinet in the corner of the "L". When the...

We had issues with the galley sink. Every time we used much water in the galley sink the whole trailer smelled absolutely horrible. I changed the vent under the cabinet - no help. The vent on the roof was not properly pulling fumes out of the tank. I changed to a rotating, wind driven vent cap...

I'm in the same boat - just noticed the sink sagging on the off faucet side. Got under the cabinet and there are not clips installed - just the sealant looking stuff on the counters. So, I'll be making that same phone call in the morning. Thanks

A friend of mine in Austin, Texas stopped a young lady who adamantly told him that under no circumstances could he writer her a traffic ticket. When he asked her to explain herself she said, "Well, I was in traffic court this morning taking care of another ticket and had a talk with the judge...

There are a lot of folks who really like the Sundance who have replied. One thing to remember is that you trade outside height for inside height - meaning it is shorter on the outside and easier to tow, but if you are tall you will probably not enjoy stooping in the bedroom. We have the BH...

Niles and Deb, I have a BH 3600 RL with a dealer installed hitch receiver for towing a motorcycle trailer. Since I lost a trailer behind a fifth wheel (with two motorcycles on it) I've been a wreck about towing tandem. Part of the issue is not being able to see the bike trailer. What camera set...

Thanks Rick. I had redirected airflow away from the thermostat but that didn't do much. The cycling through the night woke me up. So far, in the past 25 minutes it has cycled on and off five times. On for about 2-3 minutes at a time. Off for 3-4 minutes, on again, etc. etc. etc. During the heat...

I have the Duo Therm Penguin with a Duo Therm digital thermostat in the front bedroom of the BH. Something is not functioning properly and I'm not sure if its a thermostat or AC unit issue and the service department at my dealer is closed today. The AC unit cycles strangely. It comes on and...

I have to agree with several posts - I don't think there is a bias against 1/2 ton trucks, its just that many of the Heartland trailers are too heavy to safely pull with a 1/2 ton. That doesn't mean that a 1/2 ton can't pull the trailer, but it means there is a question of whether or not it...

Thanks for the responses. I am going to check the cooling fans as soon as it warms up a bit. Temps down in the 40s with rain right now and the fridge is back in the mid 30s. I played with the Thermister (however you spell it) and temps after defrost and adjustment are back to 36-37 unless the...

After showing someone in our campground our new Big Horn, they went and bought the same model. As soon as they got home they discovered the fridge didn't cool and went through some difficulty until they discover it was the thermister (not sure of spelling). When they replaced it everything went...

Mr Mike, We had nearly the same experience. The first dealer we went to went through the high pressure stuff, undercut us on the trade in, did not show us the specific trailer I wanted to see, and then tried to pressure us into buying a different brand. They are a big and well known Heartland...

Congrats Drew. My wife and I are full-timing in a 3600 RL and love it. Hope yours works out as well.

Drew, I traded my f250 for an f450 when we bought our 09 3600RL. I did it cuz I know we're going to travel and I wanted to be safe pulling the rig - published weight loaded is up to 16,200. I haven't weighed my yet since we moved in so don't know how close we are. I am a bit fanatical about...

OOOOH Brother! I can't believe I didn't think about the spare and just bought four tires. I know I ought to thank you guys for reminding me and when I get over feeling like an idiot - I will. Okay, better now. Thanks for reminding me. Mike

We sold the house and moved into our Big Horn and went through the same thing. We have Verizon for cell phones and internet air card. Air card uses router from 3G store to provide internet for both wife's desktop and my laptop as well as printer. Also, after talking at length with 3G store, have...

Know what you mean about the tires. IN another SOB fifth wheel we had a couple of blow-outs and tread separations. The tire manufacturer/U.S. dealer made the warranty good and paid for the body repairs to both sides of the trailer. They also replaced the tires. But, its made me a bit nervous and...

After reading this thread I got on the web site link Forrest provided and the G 614 tires are on sale for $218. I ordered four for our 09 3600 RL. Been down this road with SOB trailer - two blow outs, one tread separation, one tread deterioration (chunks missing) and one starting to go, body...

As for me, the living room television (Samsung) works fine on the antennae. Today I tightened all the connections and I pointed the antennae as per the antennae website mentioned in a previous post. Reception has been much better but I'll see later this evening. We noticed that when someone...

JensenRV direct, thanks for the explanation and input. I will check out the site listed and see if that has something to do with it. My antennae is not obstructed and we get very good and clear analog signals. I haven't had the chance to check out the other television on the antennae yet but...

I'm going to put the original antennae back this afternoon and then will check the tv in the living area. Right now the living room tv is hooked up to HD satelite so have had no problems. I'll use it with the antennae and see what happens. I have a clear view around me and am in a Houston...

I have a 19 inch Jensen DTV in the bedroom that I use on the trailer antennae. I live within the broadcast area of several major stations broadcasting a digital signal. Yet, I rarely watch the bedroom tv because the signal tends to digitize, picture freezes or pixelates, and sound is impossible...

I maintain about 140 empty and 175 towing unless its exceptionally hot or hilly - then can get to 200. I have upgraded by putting a tranny cooler from a 6.0 liter Ford diesel in my 7.3 and adding an aftermarket cooler and filter. Have overheated once in a light truck (F250) coming over Wolf...

Same story here except I had an exceptional dealer who went through all the fittings during PDI. Still, when I got the trailer home both kitchen sinks leaked, the flush fitting for the sewer tank leaked and I'm still having minor weeping in one sink. I only live about 60 miles from the dealer...

Thanks men, both of those look workable and due to the floorplan in our rig, bringing in the cable around the edge of the slide would work well. I could also mount it on the back of the slide so its not so visible. I appreciate the help. Mike

I bought a signal boosting antennae for my router and am trying to figure out a way to mount it. I would really like to mount it on the side of the RV beside the factory FM antennae but can't find a suitable mount. I can't remember the model number of the antennae but I got it from the 3G...

Thanks! thanks for the replies. I've got velcro and velcro dots but not the 3M command hangers. I really liked Lefty's answer - got a couple of those just laying around I might try, too.None

Okay, since we've started full-timing my wife really wants to hang family photos on the walls. It has to feel like home to her so I'm okay with it. But, what is the best way to do that? I've looked at two or three ways but haven't seen anything really good. Any suggestions? Thanks ahead of...

Thanks for the suggestions. We are between Houston and Galveston. I'm not retired but just wanted to simplify life so we moved to fulltiming back in September. After doing the homework we went ahead with the Soleus dehumidifier. Even set on high it is very quiet. It has run non-stop even set...

Well, we just took delivery of an 09 BH 3600 RL to replace the SOB camper we've been living in. As I'm reading through the owners manual I got to the full-timer disclaimer. I've already been through that thread so that didn't worry me too much. But, I noticed the recommendation for a...

Lots of good advice. I have a custom, 4 position chip in my 01 F250 that adjusts HP to 40, 85, 105 and 145 HP above stock. But I also have an exhaust gas temp gauge, tranny temp gauge and boost gauge to monitor temperatures in addition to oversized after market exhaust, intake, turbo housing and...

Okay, we're selling the house and moving to the RV. The kids are grown and mostly gone and we're wanting to reduce living expenses so we can put more money away and hopefully retire. We've got a K-Z Durango 34' 5er now but want to trade up to a Heartland Big Horn. We've viewed and priced out a...

Jeff and Cindy, So sorry to hear about your having to sell. We are trying to sell our house and move into a Heartland RV for much the same reason. Wish I had the money to take you up on a great deal for someone. Anyway, would you be interested in a truck trade? I have an 01 F 250 with 7.3...
