We have a rather different approach , we land at LAX, take a taxi to the rv storage yard, get ready for take off then flip a coin, north or east ..........simple

Hi all, we come over to the US 3 time a year with our 2 kids ( both under 5) usually spending between 3 & 6 weeks at a time, we like California but have been roasted by some huge campsite fee's so reckon this would be a cheaper option as RVing seems to becoming a rich mans sport, our problem...

Hi all, we are flying into LAX on the 26th Nov from the UK, our new rig is sitting in storage in Torrence LA, we were going to head straight to the beach but everywhere is pretty full already, cant get into Dana point, Chrystal cove or Huntington beach state parks as we are too long 35ft and...

So that's the new dodge done 4000mls pulling 11,000pounds across the US and I'm very happy with it, the hemi engine pulls like a train and had plenty of power :-)

So I managed to cross from MI to CA without any problems, one if the guys on the trip had asked if we could travel some of Route 66 on our journey as it was on his bucket list, so we headed down towards Oklahoma and in to amirillo TX before I lost the will to live , decided to head north up to...

OMG I had no idea about any if this , I travel in the US for around 2-3 months a year and had never considered any of this , I have a young family and I'm feeling rather foolish that I hadn't considered carrying a pump action shotgun with us, infact I should really have one in the cab of the...

I have driven this road once before 20 years ago so apart from Utah I have very little recollection of the road, my buddy has never been to the US so I'm keen to show him all the sights, after the first post about the gas v diesel I sent an email to the dealer to see how much extra they would...

Thanks for the info, I thought I was happy enough with the gas engine because when we were running up and down the west coast in 2012 we just couldn't find a ford dealer who had a "Diesel specialist" all we needed was heater plugs fitted for cold starting but they all took one look under the...

Here in the UK we pay around $10 per gallon so we are used to high fuel prices :-(

Time waits for no man, so I've had to jump in and go with a new dodge Ram 2500 tradesman 6.4L hemi, not what i wanted but the only thing i could get in a hurry under $35k, there are lots of people saying they want to sell trucks but not answering or sending emails ? very strange, wish I had the...

I'm heading of on a road trip from Grand Rapids MI to Vegas next Monday, I was going to punch in the satnav but I'm aware that sometimes what your satnav says and what you "Should have done" are different, is there anything I should be trying to avoid with a 38ft 5e (10,000 ponds ) and a 2500...

I'm still looking for a new tow vehicle, the dodge dealer tells me that if I can find an ex Chrysler employee with a CDI number he can take an extra $1000 off, does this work and were can I get one ?

I'm looking for a F-250-350 or the equivalent Dodge, im working to a budget of $35k all in, I need it by the 6th Oct in Chicago or Grand Rapids to take delivery of a new 5er, don't want anything with huge miles, under 80k, preferably with the hitch and brake controller already fitted, I'm happy...

Yes your right there, it only had 55,000miles on it but the 6.0L did come up a few times when potential buyers tried googling that model, I'm not entirely set on the ford but I am down sizing , the big dually is a nightmare to park in and around the LA & San Francisco areas without taking up two...

This thread makes my ears perk up, I'm sitting in Scotland (UK) looking to buy a truck in the US, I've narrowed down the search for a 5er but I'm looking at truck prices and there huge ! especially used trucks, I virtually had to give my last F-350 king ranch away in CA 3 years ago and I'm...

Have you been out in the new prowler yet ? Any feedback in it ? I'm thinking if going down the same road with either the 26 or 28 bunkhouse

Are the prowlers so new to the heartland family that no one has an answer to my question ? I like the look of the 2015 prowler 26bh but can't find an owner to give me any feedback on one

A dealer just told me that the prowler walls are made of MDF and the Sundance is better because its made of marine ply, anyone no if this is true ?

Good advice, thanks, I will do that, I loved my sundance & would hate to buy a prowler only to find it was inferior or not as good at the Sundance was.

I've looked on the website but I just wondered were they've "placed" prowler in the range , is it mid or low level entry ?

Is prowler a new acquisition for heartland ? I'm thinking about a 26 or 27BH but can't seem to find any owners ? We're does prowler come in the heartland line up, near the bottom ?

I'm back in the market for a new complete rig, I have a $50k budget, having sold our 2005 f350 & Sundance 3300rlb two years ago we've decided to get another rig now the kids are toddling around, we are able to fly into any of the southern states for the right package, needs to be a bunk house...

Just heard back from bakersfield jet centre, $101 for open storage or $201 for cover for a 60ft spot, that's big enough to store both truck and trailer, sound like a fair price

I am in Ventura California and a big landmark just pulled in next to us, and there's a new big horn across from us, how come we are the only members of the owners club ? The other 2 guys say they visit the forum ? So why don't they join the club and pay there share ? Hmmm , bah humbug to them...

Hi guys, so what is the actual factory position on this "problem" we have a 2009 Sundance ( bought in 2010) that's been popping fuses, is it under warranty ? Are they sending out second motors ? We live in the UK and only come state side to holiday so I don't want to be stuck on a dealers...

We are 2 weeks into our 5 week trip of the west coast, Vancouver was wet and cold, Washington had freezing fog , Oregon was all of the above and California is just delightful, we are now in Ventura CA and will be picking up more of the family from Scotland at Lax on Christmas eve and heading for...

This is our second night here and I have to say it is dam noisy , if it's not the 101 freeway running hard from 5am then it's the Amtrak honking its horn for what sounds like For ever....... Just spotted a nice bighorn from Texas that's just pulled in .

Sounds good, I don't really want to spend $3000 in storage for 9/10 mths and the idea of having it under cover sounds good, I will email both of them, if anyone else has any ideas pitch in please, thanks

We took your advice and dogged the big sur, headed to morrow beach and stayed in the state park ( $50 for part hookup ) we left there this morning and find our selfs in Ventura beach resort, sorry we passed Pismo before we got Internet or we would have stayed there, we stopped of at Santa...

Hi all, we are now in Ventura CA and it's starting to look as If a $50 ride to the airport might not be so bad as we will be storing for 9 mths this time, I was even wondering about jumping the amtrak and heading out further but I don't even know where it goes, except I hear it flying past here...

So we made it to Carmel CA , but it's $65 a night in a rather average RV park and we are not impressed, looking for any advice on good parks between here and Santa Maria .

Well after emailing all the sites you recommended only one of them has come back to me with a price of $350 per month ........... I can buy a property for that amount, there's no way it should cost that is there ?

Was that $45 from santa paula to LAX , sorry I have no ideas of the geography, well at least I dont at the moment, but I should have a better idea in a weeks time :-)

I have emailed the first two, marineboat and storage masters, for an indication of cost, but 75 miles from LAX is getting a bit further than I had in mind, what would that cost in a cab ?

Hi all, I will be dragging my Sundance 3300RLB down the coast from Vancouver to Newport Dunes LA, we are planning on leaving our truck and trailer as close to the airport as is affordable, and flying back to Scotland leaving our rig in storage until next spring, so we are looking for any...

Thanks guys, this has gone a long way to put my mind to rest, I was at peach arch on the UC/Can border last April and met some people who had travelled that road up to Canada and had a terrible time with snow and ice, I dont carry chains but it might be the perfect time to engage 4x4 mode if the...

Hi all, its been a long time since my last visit but I am sure you guys still have all the answers, on wednesday the 8th Dec, I will be dusting down our 5er and F-350 to make a trip down to Newport Dunes LA for 4 weeks,my question is how bad a trip is it likely to be ? I have driven the road in...

WOW, I have just read this thread and being from Scotland were handguns are against the law in any shape and have been for nearly 20 years this thread seems very very frightning, It sound as though you are planning a murder not a position of self defence, to buy a bullet because it will kill...

We are heading up to whistler ski resort in BC Canada in April for some spring skiing, I hope that some ceramics in the basement may do the trick ?

Well I will see what damage I have caused when I get back to Vancouver in April, I have to leave my 3300RLB in a hurry in Oct and only had 5min to crack open the two valves behind the back wheels ( hot+cold ) and stick a gallon of antifreeze down all and every hole that would take it !!!!!! I...
