Erika, you always make really good reports on what you see along with photos of both Heartland unit and "interesting" SOB's. I know you love your new BC but it might be helpful to someone else that is interested in a new unit if you reported on it.

Above: pics of the new Big Country Rear Den, 3965DSS. Sorry not more overall pics, you can see them on the Heartland website.

Above: This is the UDC on a Vanleigh by Tiffin. It has electric dump valves, and the water filter built in. Also, the UDC had its own compartment door, so you didn't have to open the basement to get to the UDC.

Above: This was a unique location for the LevelUp control box, don't recall what brand.

Above: This was a unique middle-hinged bath door, in a Montana. Nice that you didn't have to step down the stair to open the door to the bath! Someone could actually pass by the hallway with the bath door open!

Above: gate off the side patio of a Cyclone. I assume stairs also attach, but on this model they did not have the stairs set up.

6 pics Above: a brand new triple axel Solitude floorplan from Grand Design, a front living fiver with a toyhauler space under the rear bedroom! This was really unique!! Sorry no inside pics.

Hope this helps, y'all!!

Nice pics. I have some not so flattering pics of the Montana from the Hershey show. Lots of stuff was broken even the fancy door. :cool:

We were there Saturday as well. Another show that the Road Warrior was not represented at all. We really wanted to see the 410RW, been looking for it for the last four shows with no success. Then we look this morning and the 410RW floor plan has been removed from the Heartland website.... Our 390RW is gone as well.... The 429 is a variation of the 410 but they took the dining table out. Frustrating... I guess no upgrade for us for a while.

Yes, I think ExploreUSA is the only Heartland dealer at the Dallas show, so if they don't carry the line, they don't have one at that show.

I'm not promoting/bashing any other brand, just showing off ideas I had not seen before. That's why I go to the show, it's a good way to see what's out there in the marketplace. Good to see innovations that maybe solve issues we all complain about.

I want one of those! They would make great door prizes at the TX HOC rallies.

I just noticed that the picture of the UDC on a Vanleigh by Tiffin actually has a usable outside shower do to how it is mounted. If our units had three more feet of hose to the spray head, they would be usable too!

I guess it came off that way now that I reread my post. Maybe I should just keep quiet sometimes.

Yes, It looked like a motorcycle or two dirt bikes would fit, but more like a great garage/storage space than a place for big toys. I was impressed that they came up with the solution for the fulltimer that wants to take more stuff, and not sacrifice living space. This thing is a TRIPLE AXLE! (Though it was wearing Westlake load range E tires.)

We considered the GD 376TH with the same garage to carry a golf cart. You don't loose any floor space and you get a nice big front living room. But, we'll wait and keep our BC.
