Rj, Thank you for your reply! One question, were the original panels unusable when you opened them up? Two questions I guess, can you put a small wooden block on the bottom edge to keep them from migrating downward again? Thanks, Dave D

Rj, Ours are doing the same thing. Currently have slid down approximately 2 inches. Have you dug into it and find a solution. I never use them, and could have lived without them. By the way, our rig is an '18 427.

akfoote, I put the flatbed hitch together today and mounted it in the B&W turnover hitch. I hooked up and moved to a very level area. I was worried about being too high, but everything appears to be perfect! If the flatbed is what you like, I'd go for it, just be aware that the hitch shown in...

Hey akfoote, I bought a ram 4500 C&C to pull our RW427. Ordered a bed, but asked a lot of questions first. My B&W companion I had was 16.5" tall, the framing of the bed is 6" and the B&W flatbed hitch is 10.5", which in everyone's opinion is equal. I'm getting my bed put on tomorrow and had...

Good day, Being from Missouri, I'm not familiar with New York laws, but in MO if my RV is 20k and truck is 8k (28k combined), to be legal I would have to get 30k plates for truck. Our plates are in 6k increments, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30k etc.

Hello Calder, I have a 14 3500, deleted couple of years now. Dealer said DEF ruined catalytic converter, believed them, and dollar for dollar chose to delete. No testing where we are. In my delete, I had no noticeable difference whatsoever. I used very little DEF mile to mile, more...

Larry and Gayle, Please put Dave and Jari Dawson (5789) on your list! We will be coming in on 5/13 and leaving 5/17. No site given. We look forward to meeting everyone, first Heartland Owners rally.

Thank you for your response Fox20hunter. This is what I was in search of. May I ask what gearing did you have in the 350 that you are comparing to? And, what kind of mileage are you achieving with 450 loaded and empty. I have a RW427 which grosses at 20,000, and is fairly heavy on the hitch...

Thank you all for the input. I am not comparing, just shopping. I have found that while the payload is not much greater on the 450 than the 350, the brakes, 4:30 diff. (which may or may not be advantageous) and the wide track front end are of interest to me. In addition, the price point of...

To those of you who own and tow with an F450, could you please share your personal pros and cons. Towing, breaking, if wide track front axle is beneficial. I appreciate your input.

Thank you all for your input! It seems like a really good deal, and I can work on their money, 0% interest. Thank you again for your input.

We are looking at a new 2018 Ram 3500, 6.7 I6 with the AISIN transmission. Big horn, nicely equipped for just over $50,000. I am not familiar with the "active-air" that they are talking about. From looking around the web, seems like a variable air induction system. Is it hardy? Does it work...

Welcome STHill74, if you have questions there are many intelligent, experienced people here to help. Thank goodness!

Yes, our 427 has two tanks, the rearward tank for the fueling station, and the forward tank is tied specifically to the generator.

X2 on the Ram. My 2014 relearn the positions after rotation in probably less than a mile. The GMC I had prior had to be reprogrammed with a hand held programmer. Ram has used many forward thinking applications on their trucks, if they could just figure out how to get rid of the monthly (seems...

Our owners' manuals came on a thumb drive when we bought our 2018 Road Warrior. There was also a blue pouch that had the appliance specific manuals in it. I hope you get this sorted out and can start enjoying your rig!

Good day Andy, We sure wish we could be there enjoying the rally with you all, but can't control what happens in life. Hope all of you are having a great time! I do have a request though, please take lots of pictures and post them to at least let us know what we missed. Thanks, Dave and Jari

B & W makes a hitch to use with the underbed mounted receiver. Reasonably priced and widely available. We are very happy with ours. Quality built and breaks down into two pieces for easier handling. The adapter, that I believe you're referring to, is not recommended by many manufacturers...

I would imagine that axle placement would be engineered by weight displacement of the unit. I'm relatively sure by going up in length by 7' that it will not necessarily be adding that length behind axles, but may not be split exactly in half either. Their engineering will determine axle...

What is the wattage of your heaters?

I would recommend posting your rig online for maximum number of viewers. In fact, there is an items for sale tab under the main FORUM tab. The folks on here know many people looking for rigs, and many visitors and guests are looking at the forum. If you look at items for sale, some are using...

Thank you Andy.

Andy, Sadly we have had to cancel our reservations as my sister has been put on hospice. We were looking very forward to our first rally and meeting all of you folks. I know you will have a great time! Frank, Your down some buscuits now, you'll need to do some more recruiting. Sorry...

Carl, Sent you a PM. Let me know. Dave

Carl, Have you taken a resistance reading of you stator? If you could post/send serial and spec number, I could see if I could find the information. I have access to parts, and may be able to get you parts for a little less than retail that most shops price at. If you already have part...

Good day Bill, If your reservation dates are correct, you might want to check them again, rally dates are May 9 to May 12. May be mistyped, just wanted to make sure you didn't miss out.

I have driven my Ram 3500 DRW daily since 2014 when new. There was some anxiety at first but soon went away. As was said before, if your mirrors will clear, your fenders are no problem. I use mine foe work and purchased with the 3:73 rear end, which on the highway has averaged as much as 23.1...

Congratulations, the rig looks awesome! ENJOY!

We'll have to have the oven on for the french toast casserole, we can throw some biscuits in with it, but how many people do we need to account for? This is our first rally, and really don't know how many participants are normal or expected. We want to do our part, please let us know.

Put Dave and Jari down for French toast casserole, One bottle Negro Modelo and a case oh Captain Morgan spiced rum (to be delivered to site 22 upon arrival)

Good day all, I'm looking to see if anyone has towed from Hardy Arkansas to Bald Knob Arkansas towing a large 5er down hey 167? Mapping program choose this route but hard to get good info on maps. Any input is much appreciated!

We are thankful that you were not hurt! We will keep our eyes and ears open for BH's for sale.

Cummins 6.7 still a 6 cyl in mine. I had a bad catalytic converter on my 2014 which was going to cost around 2k for parts and dealer install, so I called a shop about a delete and they indicated around 1.8k, so it is deleted. Set HP up about 40, changed shift points on trans. and didn't gain...

Lil Guy, Got it, made a mental note. One bottle negro modelo and case of captain Morgan spiced rum to site 22. - - - Updated - - - Thank you for the info.!

Jassson007, My wife and I will be there from 3/27 - 3/31. We will be on site 9. This will be our first rally, if there is anything we need to know, would you please pm me. Example, what we need to do/bring for potluck etc. we look forward to meeting all of you!

Hello rrrdbw, We too are sorry you have had to face the fires and glad you and your animals are alright. I went to a local sawmill who saws timbers and got some 9x7x9" off fall to put under jacks. To re-level, put slides in, raise rear jacks and then connect to truck, raise front jacks...

Thank all of you for your input. I'll have to be more dillegent checking pin.

First, my set up is a B & W rollover gooseneck with a B & W Companion 5th wheel hitch. My problem. After using Companion hitch, could not release locking pin under hitch plate. I tried everything I knew to do to remove. Thought grime from road had frozen as temps were in the twenties...

David-steph2018, My thoughts were a patio door screen. They are aluminum frames that can be separated easily, cut down to a correct size with mitre saw, and then rue screen it. Could easily manipulate and install the roller tracks the same way. Adding almost no weight to rig, and should...

I have, and prefer, a DRW that I tow a RW427 with. In addition, a large gooseneck and tractor frequently for my work. Before DRW towed gooseneck with SRW, and it's a very significant difference. DRW being much superior particularly in stability. In my area of central MO, you can compare...
