Never received the PM Rod!

Re: 2013 Rally Discussion Much to our disappointment, we are no longer active with the RV lifestyle. I would be more than willing to help you get the 2013 WA State Rally up and running. I know there are members looking forward to the event. I have Pre-Rally Survey results I can share, there...

Heartland Family, It is with great distress and regret that AnaLyn and I have found ourselves in a position requiring us to resign our status as Washington State Chapter Leaders. We have thoroughly enjoyed that responsibility looking forward to the many outings and get-togethers with fellow...

Please join me in welcoming Rod and Kelly Ditrich of Olympia, WA to the Heartland Owners Club! They are proud owners of a new 2013 Bighorn!

Re: 2013 Rally Discussion Thank you for that information! And...welcome to the Heartland Owners Club!

Rockaway is north of Tillamook as is Cannon Beach with the big Haystack rock formation...both fun places! Just a quick note Bruce, WA HOC members Tom and Jan are host camping at Oceanview in Charleston, OR near North Bend...quite a bit south but one of the few parks right on the ocean. Wish we...

Never hear that from me! :) Wish we could send you some of ours! Looks like another "wet pattern" with several weeks of steady rain. AccuWeather says 2.5 inches in the next day or so and NOAA has coastal flood warnings (something about tides).

I tried it once, didn't seem to work and was too lazy to get behind the shower wall to replace the check valve. I prefer to use a simple backflush (Flush-King) which has always served us well with every rig we have had.

Welcome to HOC! If you get a chance...join us here in WA for our annual rally. Happy Camping!

Wetter!!

Congratulations on your new rig! Wishing you many happy and sfe camping adventures!

Congratulations on the new rig! No doubt you will enjoy the new Big Country as much as we enjoy ours! Be sure to check out the Heartland Owners Club and both the Pacific Region and California Chapters North, Central and South. Safe travels and happy camping!

This is an accurate comment. I am an advocate of Rejex and have used it for many years on our BC, my bike, and my dads Cherokee. It is a sealer that requires a clean surface before application. From the Rejex FAQ's Will RejeX help clean my vehicle? RejeX is not a cleaner. It is important to...

I don't think there is much maintenance with slides as long as they are working and in alignment. I check the hydraulic fluid and look for leaks, keep the rails clean and the wipes clean etc. The floor delaminating was an issue with some of the earlier models HERE is a thread that discusses a...

Can anyone think of a downside to cutting a hole in the bulkhead around the pinbox and installing a DECKPLATE or two? I really would like to be able to look up inside this area that can't be seen from the storage bay to check welds, moisture etc.

I think mine is all coming loose and has been since day one but I will leave it be until it becomes an issue!

Sorry about your roof! Were the bubbles in the molding (vinyl covering) or in the caulking along the molding?

FYI It rained today and the trim piece leaked more water! This rules out condensation I believe so again, I am stumped!

Just finished doing our Big Country yesterday. I can share our process but a 2008 may not be exactly the same! First I drained the water tank remembering to open the check valve first! Drained the fresh water. Holding tanks were already empty. At the UDC I switch the water bypass valves to...

If decide to buy a roll Best Materials has very reasonable prices compared to most RV dealers. I believe the 4" x 50' roll is $55.00. Great service too. When you apply be sure to use some type of roller (I had a wall-paper seam roller that worked) over the tape. Good Luck!

That's the site I am trying to access but your link netted the same result...nothing! I will try it from a neighbors computer! Thanks for the offer but I don't need anything in particular at the moment! I was trying to get some information earlier for a discussion on another forum. Never had...

Just tried that...no luck. I also can't connect from my work computer at a different location.

Even using the link on the Portal page nets nothing on my end! Weird!

Anyone aware of issues with the corporate website? I have tried for several days to access some information but I cannot get a connection.

Interesting observation! Thanks for getting back to me. As soon as I am 100% on the condensation theory I will rest a bit easier. I do seem to get a bit more moisture when it rains. Currently the cardboard/filon? piece remains dry with water only showing in that channel molding. Last fall when...

UDC = Universal Docking Station. This is where (on most models) all the outlets, tank valves, winterizing valves etc. are located. You may have to remove the basement walls to get behind the UDC to check things out. That being said, our storage area also leaked when traveling during rainy...

Sorry you hit the tree but let me know if it still leaks! Can you put a hose and sprinkler on that new roof? :)

The plastic/vinyl trick works good. I personally would not want the bathroom or closets any smaller. The 3450 works great for us although queen bed option might provide more room for walking around the bed.

So...as I continue to ponder this issue I was wondering...I don't seem to get much more than say 1/8 of a cup of water if that out the end of the molding. It has not rained in 24+ hours and was crystal clear this morning. Everything was soaking wet with condensation/dew and, low and behold, got...

I checked into the Seal Tech process last year...a shop just one mile down the road does this. It was a little more than I wanted to spend at the time and they also expressed the challenge of trying to pressurize the front cap and cargo area since it is so open and would be difficult to seal...

Good thought but we don't use that plumbing (no washer). It also only sems to leak when it rains. I just went out and temporarilytaped the entire cap trim (all 360'). If it continues to leak that should eliminate the trim as a source. Then I will really be stuck as it would have to be wicking...

Great looking rig, nice looking campgrounds! Perfect!

This is going to bug me forever!! I just can't bring myself to look the other way and let it leak! I tried but its not my nature. Interesting change...the bulkhead cardboard sheet is not wet as it was last year! The water seems to be riding in the trim channel only and leaking at that last...

Re: Deficiencies I don't think anyone is excusing the factory from producing a better quality rig nor defending the factory/dealer for the issues. My point was simply questioning why anyone would accept a new coach with such defects as torn couch, scatched counters etc. and then complain about...

Re: Deficiencies I guess my question is why take delivery on something that does not meet your expectations. These types of threads are very difficult to address. I certainly do not want to make light of your situation and understand your disappointment and frustration. It seems that many of...

Might be so but I wish I would have been aware of that prior to spending all my money on a gray rig!

Please welcome the newest WA HOC members Dan and Geri from Spokane Valley.

Re: October 26th We hope you two are staying dry...it rained harder last night and this morning than I have seen it rain in years...if the BC didn't leak with that downpour I don't think it will! Drive to work was navigating around all the large amounts of standing water...can't imagine what...

MODERATOR...would you be so kind and explain why this thread was merged to the original Campout thread? If I would have wanted there thats wher I would have put it. Did I brake a rule?
