stuid question.. new to forum how do you post a question? Sorry for the stuid question

We've been seriously looking at Heartland products for the past six months while we tried to sell our old fifth wheel. We started off looking at Sundance, then Elkridge, then Big Country, and I think now we've settled on Big Horn. But I have a couple questions. We are looking at the 2011 Big...

I am now a member of the Heartland family and the proud owner of a new 2009 Bighorn 3670RL, my first RV. Waiting for it to stop snowing so I can go get it from the dealer on dry roads. Thanks to all that answered my questions and helped me come to the decision to purchase a Heartland RV. Thanks...

My wife is interested in the 3812 (I very much like the 3812 but nothing will happen unless momma is happy!) but has come upon the idea of purchasing it without either the dining booth or the table/chairs - leaving that area of the living area open. We could then put a recliner in the open...

Hopefully the last 2 questions(don't really believe that)- 1) Does the Big Horn have a rubber roof or a hard roof? If a rubber roof, has anyone had any problems with the roof tear due to tree limbs. 2) How many gray water tanks are there? 1 or 2? If 2, why, what goes into which one and what...

We are almost ready to order our new FW. Love the layout of this new trailer. We are not new to camping but are trading in our TT on this purchase. Those of you that are experienced, should I order it with the Generator Prep. We now have a small Honda that we hook up on the rare times that...

I am trying to find out if the W/D area of the 3450TS is large enough for a stacked W/D and do the Big Country slide outs have any insulation in them? From what I can find on the Heartland web site they do not but I want to make sure. Thanks

I am curious about changes to the Cyclone line for 2011. I was informed by my dealer that the under belly utility boxes were going to be discontinued to cut production costs. Also perhaps some changes to the electronics equipment in the newer units? After veiwing some images from different...

I am interested in being able to boondock as remotely as possible without going satellite. The 3gstore.com SOHO "Best" kit seems to fit the bill. 1. The amp will have to go in the overhead cabinet in front of the ladder per jpg. Wilson recommends a "well ventilated" area but I guess this...

Hello all, I’m new to this forum and this is my first post. My wife and I want to move to a “starter” 5th wheel. We’ve had tent trailers, a travel trailer, horse trailers, hay trailers, and currently have a Lance cab-over. We are looking at mid-profile 5th wheels, Sundance, Wildcat, Laredo...

Sorry for the length of this post but I'm trying to get my modified brain waves around the most challenging upcoming mod for our 'Horn. We absolutely love our BigHorn:D and will be keeping it for a long time so changes are in order. We don't like having to fire up the genny to use the fireplace...

I've only hooked and unhooked 3 times since buying my Cyclone. I noticed on the non motor side of the landing gear I can not get the pull pin that drops the leg to seat 100%. In other words, on the other side, I can see the tip of the pin in the hole on the inside of the leg extension. I tried...

Can awning bows be used on an eletric awning to keep it out for extended time periods? And how much weight should I put on the rear ladder. I have a folding 12ft ladder that is somewhat on the heavy side. Also I have a bicycle with a 35cc motor about 50# would either of these be suitable to...

Hi As most of you all know by now I recently purchased a new 2010 3010 cyclone. I had a few general questions I'd like to ask if you don't mind. 1st - We got a large package of manuals for just about every thing. however I did not see any general manual from heartland. Should I have received...

We are thinking about a new 5th wheel and really like the Heartland. We have several questions and would appreciate any comments/answers that can be provided. I have also sent the list the Heartland for their response. I am sure your answers will create more questions but this is a starting...

My wife and I went to a dealer and looked at the M18. So we have a few questions 1) Potential Resale value if upgrading in the future? 2) Weight Limit of upper bunk over queen can it be reinforced? 3) Why buy this over an ECO RV 718QB or Jayco Feather Sport. 4) Paint worth the cost? 5)...

Hello all. First post to the forum. I discovered Heartland through many positive posts over on RV.Net and since my wife and I decided to down size I've been lurking here and "window shopping" Heartland products via the Internet for some time now. My experience in towing is dragging a Jeep...

Just a few questions for you MDT owners. What type of warranty does the average manufacturer offer? Loan terms on new and used trucks? What type of MPG is everyone getting loaded and unloaded? Are the trucks reliable as a daily driver? Is it very expensive to service these trucks? Thanks...

Just a few easy questions? :confused: 1. Why does the side by side Dometic ref. have only one light? 2. Water pressure in bath ok, but kitchen has low pressure. Tried with andw/o regulator. 3. ac in br cools to selected temp. but w/i a minute it kicks back in. 4. Where can you get the stain/...

One, the antenna doesnt seem to be working. How can I trace the coaxial to find out if its not connected? Second, In the bedroom there is a connect that has a button beside it. When you press the button a small red light is turned on. Any ideal what that is for?

Hi, I just joined this forum today an I'm soliciting opinions. My wife and I think we want to purchase a 5th wheel RV. We are cautions about it and want to get "our feet wet" first. My research has led me to Heartland for what I THINK i need/want. A bit of background. It is just Pam...

Could some one tell me if the 2nd air conditioner in the bedroom has to be low profile? also what is a good non ducted unit? also would like one where the fan doesn,t run non stop. what size is recomended? If you go with a thermostat how do you get the wire to it? Thanks any help would be...

I've seen different scenarios for the saddle decor - does it come with leather chairs or cloth? (The godiva appears to come with both a leather sofa and leather chairs - not sure about saddle other than it comes with a leather sofa.) What color are the standard chairs in the saddle decor? Are...

We will be picking up our 2010 Landmark Augusta on Thursday, and are going to be adding disc brakes and had a few questions. We'll be ordering a disc brake kit to install ourselves - does anyone know what the bolt circle and bolt size is for the 8 stud wheels on the Augusta? Also - does...

My wife and I are nearing retirement and have plans to buy a 3/4T towable, nicely appointed, under 34 feet in length 5th wheel to travel. Our research has narrowed us down to Crossroads (Cruiser/Kingston) and Heartland (Sundance/ER/BC). In looking at a BC 3250TS yesterday, we were extremely...

What are " attachments, HOG, HOP,and HOC among other things" that I cannot access. I'm very new on this site and still trying to figure it out. Thank you.

We have just purchased a 28 ft BHS north trail and am trying to get a price on 3 options 15 inch LCD TV DVD Player, and pillow top mattress and how long it would take to get these to the dealer. Also we would like to get a slide out skirt. We have not taken possession of our trailer from the...

When we took delivery 2 months ago of a 2009 3055 the FW had a king size bed. The trailer was on the dealer lot and they agreed to cut down the top of the pedestal and we could get a credit for the king and we would buy a new queen mattress. We did that and finished out our winter in Florida...

The wife and I were looking at options on a 3055 today and had a couple of questions. 1. Hi gloss gel coat sidewalls? pretty pricey!! ..... Are the normal sidewalls just a semi gloss or dull type finish? Which is ok with me. 2. Slide awning package, triple slide? .... Are these awnings for...

1. How do you drain the fresh water tank in a 2010 Sundance 3300SK? 2. The bedroom slide out leaks only on the rear (my side of the bed) side of the bedroom slide. It doesn't have to be a driving rain storm for it to leak, with a gentle spring rain I've got a wet rug under the window on the...

The wife and I are purchasing a North Country 29RKS LS to use on a RV Lot we own in a 55+ Park located in McAllen, Tx. We liked the floor plan and the size of the trailer feeling it would meet our needs and fit on the lot without problems. We are still left with some questions. In the bedroom...

We have a 09 BH 3400RL and would like to pick the brains of some of the real veterians regarding our BH. 1) Our BH did not come with a mounting bracket for the bedroom TV. Where or How do I go about getting one? 2)DW wants to mount pictures on both sides of the window in the entertianment...

We are getting closer to an order / purechase with every day! Now we are back on the 3670 kick... On the 2010's with the new "slam" basement doors... (Slam is a wierd word for them - do they really slam?) How far will the door open?? I've seen photos with the doors at 90 degrees to the...

We looked at a 3250TS yesterday. The unit we saw had a nice size countertop to the right of the stovetop that isn't shown in the brochure. I'd like to know which is accurate and if we were looking at an older model? I would not want to order one and find out they took away the countertop. There...

First time Diesel owner, brought her home yesterday. Here in Pennsylvania, we still have some cold weather coming and I was wondering if there is any good recommendations. Should I use a fuel additive to keep the fuel from gelling? Anything to help the cold weather start ups? Any advice...

I use the orange plastic interlocking "blocks" to decrease the distance that I extend my rear stabilizers AND wooden blocks under my front landing gear for the same reason. I assumed rightly/wrongly that this increased the stability. Some folks put nothing under either-extending both to the...

I placed an order last week for a new 2010 Sundance 3000RK. At the time, there was no information published and the dealer assured me that it was the 2900RK with just a new number. As I was perusing Heartland's website tonight I noticed that the floor plan for the 3000RK had been added. I was...

Hey guys. We're close to purchasing a QBS after almost a year of TT research. I was torn between the BHD and the QBS, but the separated living areas really appeal to us. My questions: 1) Has the lack of pantry storage and bunkhouse storage been a problem for you? 2) Do you think there would...

Hi. I sent an email directly to someone at the Company but haven't heard back yet so I figured I'd try here. 1. We like the layout of the M21 with the walk around bed but we're not sure if we want to give up the added sleeping room of the fold down bunk on the M18. What is the weight limit of...

We are seriously considering upgrading to this FW from an UltraLite. We currently travel with 2 bikes on a rack on the back of the FW AND 2 14' kayaks on the roof of the truck on a Yakima roof rack with their GIZMO that supports the front of the kayaks. Please provide any input on this FW vs...
