    AC turns on while control is off

    Hi folks, thanks for the response We do not have a heat pump, and we have the old single zone Thermostat, not the new LCD one. We keep the fan on auto, and with the temp in the low 40s we were only running the furnace, the AC was turned off and like I said, the problem did not show up till we...

    AC turns on while control is off

    We were staying in Washington State Jan and Feb, outside temp was in the 20s and 30s, I had the furnace running day and night with no problems on a 50amp hookup. When we moved to the KOA camp all they had was 30amp and that's when the problem started. Outside temp 48, furnace on, and AC tried...

    A/C leaking inside

    Thanks to those of you that responded. I found out that we are getting ice on the cooling fins , also noticed that there was very little air coming from the vents. Sigh, looks like its time to invest in that 2d A/C unit. Good travels all

    A/C leaking inside

    I'm not sure where this post goes so plz move it to correct area. We have a 2011 3250ts with one A/C unit. We have been in CA for the last 2 months in 90 to 100 temp and have been running the AC all day and most of the night. We now have condensation coming from the main A/C output vent in...

    Convection oven

    My wife wants to know why they (Convection Oven) are not installed as a matter of course? Our last 2 units both came with em and they didn't cost anywhere close to what we paid for this one.

    2011 3250ts

    First Congrats on your new 5er. We have the toppers and love em, this is the 7th RV for us and we have had toppers on all of em and I would not even consider not having them. Do they get noisy? Yup, but never had one damaged and we have been in some real good wind events. They do help keep...

    GFI Question

    Thanks for the info Tom. I will just learn to live with it as with the way the unit is wired. I still don't like the way all the plugs in the living area and Kitchen are on one breaker. But I have learned, no coffee when using a heater and no heater if I need the micro hehe.

    GFI Question

    Hi folks. We were at the Salem RV show and took a look at some other brands as well as the Heartland units that were there. I noticed that the Big County (like mine) only had one GIF breaker for the entire unit while some others had 2 or more. Was kind of wondering why Heartland only has one...

    2011 BC Toilet design

    We have a 2011 BC 3250TS with a toilet problem and so far we have had to have the toilet replaced and the unit cleaned as the smell was real BAD. Now as far as I can figure out the bowl is the new design with the flush holes around the rim and that part works great BUT there is a problem with...

    Color change for Big Country

    Ok just had to add to this post. We love our 3250ts with one exception, the bathroom sink or lack there of (grin). We miss the standard style but the rest of the unit is just GREAT.

    near San Martin CA

    We stay in that area at least once a year. We have used both the Maple Leaf and Gilroy Garlic USA RV Park. We like the Gilroy one better as its newer and very close to Walmart and other shops and still gives the feeling of being in the country. The Maple Leaf is a bit cheaper and is well...

    Door Improvement Suggestions

    Now I really like what Tcountyrver is doing, I'm going to contact my dealer and see what that retro fit will cost me. Like you I agree that the sliding door into the bed room really is not needed and with a solid wall there we could put in more storage in the bathroom. I also like the the idea...

    ?s about LP auto change over mechanism

    Looks like JohnDar and I had the same idea, I need longer gas lines on my 3250ts to make the gauges work, so first thing this summer I'm going to make that addition. Side note to the factory, why not install the tanks with gauges so we don't have to go into the weather at 1am to find out why our...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: OR, Winchester Bay - 06/11/2010 to 06/13/2010

    Well not exactly, with a raffle you just buy tickets and draw from a hat, what I'm talking about is an auction with each item going to the highest bidder. The fun comes from not knowing what you got till the end. Oh and before I forget, anyone have a spare set of eyes for my fingers so I can...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: OR, Winchester Bay - 06/11/2010 to 06/13/2010

    Have you heard of a Bland Auction? The idea is we all bring a item worth $5 to $20 and place it in a large paper bag sealed. The group leader (insert Ziggy's name) gets an item worth $60 to $70 and places it in a large sealed paper bag. Then we all bid on each bag without knowing whats in...

    Hi all The trip into Coos Bay to go to Sunset Gardens sounds good to us and how about the sea lions cave? We are not into Tshirts but would be willing to go the $10 per person route and I like the idea of a raffle. If we come up with something else I'll let you know.

    Fire Safety

    That fire ladder looks like a great thing but Im wondering how long does it take to setup and will the window frame support it while we climb down? Unless the fire is between me and the door I think I would have a better chance of getting out that way then trying to use the escape window. Im...
