    Moving on

    Moving on to a new SOB. For some reason the Big Horn dealers just aren't around like they used to be and I would have had to drive for 6 hours to find a dealer with a decent selection on the ground to look at. Wanted a bunch of upgrades and found them in another product. It's been fun, I met a...

    Pin + Hitch Set Up Questions on New Gateway

    The Curt hitch might be cheaper but it certainly won't be better. I have nothing against a Curt but you will never hear a bad word about a B&W. One of the differences between the two is, the B&W is made in America with only American made Materials, it is not another Chinese product sold by an...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: WI, Lake Delton - 8/11/2016 to 8/14/2016

    3.4" of rain here last night in our rain gauge. A little slow getting started this morning. Had a few things to get done. Should be leaving to get our trailer in a few minutes. Might be a little late getting there, depending on the weather. The rain is supposed to be heading that way. We'll be...

    To Patch or No To Patch

    A combination plug/patch is what Discount tire used on one of mine. That being said...if you have road hazard coverage and they will give you a new tire at no charge, why not??...Don

    New Bighorn line? (Traveler)

    Re: New line Why would you possibly want to pay anything to put Heartland names on your trailer...I just finished taking all the letters off my truck. You want me to advertise pay me to leave it on. Less is better...Don

    Drawer Replacement from the factory?

    If the front is good just go to a local cabinet shop with the pieces and have them rebuild it..Not much of a job..Don

    $200 mo more for indoor storage - Whay say you?

    Re: $200mo more for indoor storage - Whay say you? YIKES! People in CA. must be rich! $65.00 a month for outdoor here in MN with lots of security and on-site mgmt. and $35.00 for the same in central KS. I would have a hard time paying your rates. Most of the RV parks I stay at are under $500.00...

    NIOSH approved gas masks are optional..........

    Sounds to me like you're overthinking this. Dump and flush. Add 5 or so gallons of water. walk away. I don't use any chemicals and never have. My tank is working just fine. Why add more chemicals to an already overburdened waste water system? All things considered...yes, this is an insane idea...Don

    Black Tank Question

    My factory installed flusher works just fine. I use it each time I dump and have a clear fitting at the start of my sewer hose so I can see when the water starts to come out clear. I have never used any chemicals or special toilet paper. It's a holding tank not a septic tank. Nothing stays in...

    New Elk Ridge, TV Questions

    Sink Falling Out - Design Flaw!

    The sinks falling out has been an ongoing problem for at least 7-8 years......You would think at some point if Heartland really cared they would have come up with a solution for this...Don

    Torklift or Lippert Replacement Steps

    I replaced a 3 step steel unit on my trailer with a 4 step set of Tork Lift Glo-Steps. My first real chance to use them was last weekend when we went out for 4 days. I've climbed a couple sets of the new Lippert aluminum steps and while I liked them there are a few differences. The Tork Lift...

    rear stabilizer jacks

    Mine didn't want to work once and I rapped the motor with a hammer. Started up again. I was planning to tear it apart and check it out but I haven't had any more trouble.....so far. Don

    Bad experience so far

    Doesn't sound like this dealership is too great to me. Brand new unit that wasn't fully checked out before they delivered it..Making you wait 5 weeks for a part they should have in stock or borrow from another unit to get you on the road...I wouldn't buy from them..Don

    Dreaded DEF issues

    Trying to have your truck diagnosed over the internet will result in a bunch of guesses but no real cure. Spend a couple dollars to bring it to a dealer and eliminate the guesswork....There isn't anyone here that tell you what the absolute fix is and you could spend hundreds just shotgunning...

    Palo Duro Canyon OK?

    That's one steep and narrow road going in and out, but it's not very long. We went in without our trailer. It wouldn't bother me to pull down in there. In the many times we've been through Amarillo we never knew it was there until a couple years ago. It's really worth seeing. Next time through...

    Landing gear question (Sundance)

    Try the circuit breaker first, then try greasing the legs. If they are easy to crank by hand then they are okay. A new moror online is under $100.00 and it takes about 15 minutes to install. All the info on how to do that is on You Tube...Oh...and find a new place to get your repairs done...

    Grey Water tanks

    Put a short clear fitting in the sewer line at the hose connection. Then you can see if anything is draining when you open the valve.

    New Big Horn 3010RE Owner

    I agree on the F-350 also. Price is about the same. Mileage is the same. Ride is the same. The only thing different is the ability to carry more pin weight..You won't be sorry..

    Mattress Replacement

    You buy a new trailer, it comes with a new mattress. You buy a new mattress. You pay to get rid of the old mattress. You put in the new mattress you bought. You would be money ahead to get no mattress with the new trailer and just put in your own. Then you wouldn't have to pay to throw out the...

    Another BLOMAX victim, yet again....

    I consider these to be "Delivery and Display" tires. They should come off as soon as you buy a trailer. With all the negative posts on the internet about how bad these tires are I don't understand why people try to use them..JMHO..Don

    What's your favorite carry weapon?

    Just curious...of the many, many posts on here. Have any of you ever had to draw your weapon? Just wondering if this is something I need to get into. Don't want to hear about the reasons to carry, just want to know if anyone has had to use it and why? Thank you...Don

    Slide out fascia rebuild

    I've had to glue one of mine back together. Gorilla glue worked great. I then touched up some of the damage with a colored putty. Not very noticeable now.

    Must have hired the welders away from Lippert. Top quality lumber too. Can they make these things any cheaper??

    ATF: Bighorn - Axles

    Mine was that way. The springs were starting to flatten out and arch the opposite way. I had them replaced with the next heavier capacity springs. Rode much better when it was done.

    HOC For Sale effectiveness.

    I had mine on here...never had an inquiry. Had it on Craigslist, RV Trader and RVT. Priced it at around $5,000 below NADA low retail. Mine has around $5,000 in extras. Michelin tires, Lazy Boys, Tri Glide pin box, wet bolts, both end caps have been painted and clear coated, new decals..the list...

    Outside speakers.

    My outside speakers fell apart in short order. I blanked them out behind the grills and sealed the openings to keep out the cold and water. Never worked good anyway with such cheap speakers and having to go inside to adjust the volume or change stations. Now I just use a small portable radio.

    Do you guys run your frig on electric or gas while driving?

    Mine, like most, needs 110 volts to run on electric. So I run it on gas.

    Norcold 1210 dead after 1.5 yrs

    NO-COLD...the new standard in refrigeration. Small wonder residential refers have caught on recently. At least it didn't catch fire. I wouldn't spend another dollar on it, what a shame.

    What to do with my Cyclone for the next 2 years?

    I would try and sell it. My experience has been that these aren't the easiest things to get rid of. It might sell, it might not...You have two years to find that out..Don
