First of all the B&W Companion is a great hitch. You will not have a problem. I pulled a Cougar and our new Big Country with a 2006 Chevy 2500 D/A Ex-Cab Standard bed 4wd with no clearance issues at all. However, I did have a GVWR problem with the truck. With the mid-profile Cougar I was well...

Update to my post: Had the 2011 Chevy DRW for a day for test drive. I measured the distance from the bed to the floor in the garage (it fits!). It measured 36" not 37.9" like the specs say. I was wondering if the SRW Chevies sit higher than the DRW Chevies. The Fords are that way. I should not...

I am thinking of buying a 2011 Chevy 3500 D/A DRW 4x4. I see in the specs the the bed height is listed at 37.9". My 2006 Chevy HD with a B&W Companion at its lowest setting, airbags at 35# is 35" (bed height) when hooked up to my 2011 BC 3250. Rig is level and I have 6.5" of bed to fiver...

rv4fun, Funny you mentioned that. When I talked to the Heartland rep, he recommended having the slide adusted so the wind couldn't rip it loose. He made no mention of them all being that way. Still feel an adjustment will not fix the problem. I will do what he said to do tho. Will take it back...

Jmgrats, I know I may sound a little nit-picky, not trying to tho. If you look at the Big Horns you can see how easy and low cost the solution would be. I know it would be next to impossible for perfect alignment. 1/4 or 3/8 inch wouldn't bother me a bit. A one inch gap is a bit much. Extend the...

Yianni, That is kinda what I thought. I really didn't thing an adjustment would pull it in farther either. I have noticed on the Big Horns with the split skirt the fixed piece is extended further out to insure match when closed. I would think they could do the same thing on the BC. Wouldn't cost...

We purchased a 2011 BC 3250 TS in August. So far the unit has been flawless. Other than rerouting the fresh water fill hose to make filling easier (fixed it myself) it has had no issues. However, I do have problem I'd like some advice on. I noticed after our first trip that upon closing the...

We will snowbird for the first time next year. DW likes to bake but she is having trouble finding compatible pans and trays for our oven. I told her I would check with the experts on the forum. Any suggestions? Thanks. Good Travels

Thanks for the quick replies. The dish the tech gave me was a new round one. The box I hooked up is a HD box from the house. One would think something in the owners manual would have explained the four connections. At the very least the dealer could have pointed this out on PDI. I did use a...

Started playing around with setting up a dish for our BC yesterday and need some help. Some time back a Diectv tech gave me a round dish when I mentioned using one in our rv. Not wanting to spend a bunch at first, I took a piece of heavy wall pvc and put it in an old umbrella base we had laying...

I put them on my 06 2500HD in April. Took me a little over 3hrs figuring in a few breaks for my junk back. Easy install. A lot of the work is done on the bench before the actual install. Only minor issue I had was repositioning the heat shield-no big deal. I didn't take the tires off mine but...

Pretty neat gadget. I just got done filling our Big Country tank and draining it 4 gallons at a time to see what it held. Wish I had one those then! Be neat to have one plumbed in to the units water system to moniter usage. (BTW I used all the drained water for garden, shrubs and plants. Just...

Hi, I am a new member of this forum but have been researching this type of concern for some time. We just traded a Cougar 318 0n a 2011 Big Country 3250. We have a 2006 Duramax ex-cab shortbed 4x4 2500HD. Its ratings are 9200gvwr 22000gcwr and 6084rawr. Took it to the cat scales a couple days...

Hi, My name is Ron, my DW Diana and I just purchased a 2011 Big Country 5th wheel two weeks ago. We traded our Cougar 318 in on it and took off right from the dealer on a one week trip to Letchworth St Park NY and Ives Run in Tioga Pa. Not one problem so far. Looking forward to next trip. We...
