trip

Good morning all, While doing my route planning, I've come across what I think is a very informative website that you also might be able to use for YOUR route planning as well. http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/# Ralph

We are planning a trip to the Rushmore area ,Black Hills etc. at the end of this summer. I am looking for info about pulling our Bighorn from Missouri. We would most likely be coming up I-29 to I-90 then west to Rapid City then south on US-16. I saw in rjr6150s post about Rafter J Bar RV Park...

I've been sighting a new Landmark Grand Canyon since Saturday. Mine! I am on my way to Texas. Here's my trip summary: Follow me on Facebook Saturday (6-Feb): Left Chicago area around 9:30 am. Drove 287 miles to the Granite City, IL KOA in the St. Louis area. Ken and Kathy S (katkens and...

We are planning a trip to Banff with our Big Horn. I would like to know if there are any restrictions crossing the border with items inside the coach (ie food and alchohol) and also pets.

A story from a friend: Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.

:eek:Finally gave up, the weather just isn't cooperating on the east coast, we are expecting another big blow in couple of days ............ Winterized the trailer and put the cover on. Cover wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Figured out a way to drain the tanks a little better - pictures...

Well its November but we still wanted an outing so took off for a weekend to a State Park in Washington. The weather was cold and wet but we had a great time and that's all that matters right? I did manage to get 3 photos before the rain started again so here ya go.

We are planning a trip to Colorado in about late August and September, 2010. One of the places we plan to stay is Golden Gate Canyon State Park near Golden, Colorado. I have an "Official Map to Colorado Scenery and Adventure" and it shows the route into this state park to be very winding...

Good day all, I would like to run an Idea by this very experienced group to see if any one has either done this before, or can give advice on places along the way. I was just given the go ahead from the wife to plan a long camping trip for 2011. What I would like to do is this, I live in CT, I...

Well, had a real nice couple of weeks at Myrtle Beach, good fishing in the surf and some golf with friends in MB Travel Park. Did have some problems though. While at the park, noted some water dipping from the bottom. Chased it back and found the inlet fitting at the water heater had...

Dometic refrigerator on my 2008 Sundance quits working. Freezer only gets to about 45 degrees and refrigerator is basically room temperature. It's in the shop ... a day to determine the thermistor is NOT the problem. Now another day to determine if it's the control board or the cooling unit...

Windy West Texas Well, our new journey has begun from NW Ohio to San Diego for the winter. This is the first big trip with our Bighorn since we bought it in July. Had a few issues taken care of but nothing Major right now. First thing I did was remove the wheels and remove and clean the wheel...

Hi everyone just wanted to let you all know there are plenty of Heartland RV's out here. We have been on 40 west for several days and passed at least 15 BH, BC, Sundance and Landmarks. We are currently in Tucumcari NM. Hate to tell the Ford guys this but from OK through nothern Texas the Dodges...

We returned last night from our trip to Virginia beach. Had a great time even with the rainy water. We stayed at the holiday travel park and it was really nice. The park is huge and they were nice to deal with, had no problems. I would recommend it to anybody that is staying in the area. we...

Ok where do I start ? Last Friday in Moriority ( wrong spelling ) NM A BH, silver Dodge dually TV coming out of the TA truck stop. It got on I40 behind me going West. Last Saturday, a Landmark was at the Pilot TS, on I 15 & 395 in Cali. Just South of Victorville. TV was a wine coloured Ford...

Spent last weekend in Asheville for the first time in our 2009 Big Country 3250 TS. Had a great time and really enjoy the space and quality of this fifth wheel. Stayed at Bear Creek RV Resort and Campground and totally enjoyed being there. Will now be moving out of this Welcome section...

Towed like a dream - we really didn't know what to expect since we are new 5'ers - we'd only towed travel trailers before. At times Joe forgot it was back there. The Trail Air pin box worked great! The truck did well with the trailer loaded as well - stayed very level with the trailer. On a...

Beware of Goodyear Marathons. I had 3 blowouts throughout the course of a trip from dallas to dalhart, tx. All pressures were right and Cyclone not loaded too heavy. All three either separated or blew to pieces. I dont feel heartland make the right choice on these 15in tires for such heavy...

Well we had our 30BHS out for the first time. It also is my first time RV'ing. Very impressed with the trailer, everything worked fine. It towed very easily with my F250. I have the Reese Strait Line bar/cam set up for stabilzation. I noticed my side panels on my slide out did not seem to be...

Hello everyone, We took our 3250TS to our place in western Maryland this weekend. No problems all is good. It will stay there for the summer and then we go to the fall rally in Hatteras. I guess that will be the big test. Happy Memorial Day have a safe and fun summer. Mike

I just got our 5th wheel and took our first trip to Lake fayette @ La Grange, Tx.:D

Hi, First big trip and we are heading east on Hwy 50 through Nevada. Any problems we should be aware of?? Thanks.

We won't be able to make the fall rally because I am a teacher and cannot get the time off, but it looked very nice. We are near Salisbury, MD. and would like to plan a trip to the outer banks. We need some advice. We would probably make the trip to somewhere around virginia beach on our first...

Opened the camper this weekend for the beginning of our season at Silver Lake, MI. We absolutely loved the Sundance. Only a couple issues, which I resolved. The connections to the water heater were loose and the bottom of the shower glass needed to be re-caulked. It leaked all over the bathroom...

Well we are getting ready for our first trip this weekend. We are going to Milbourne Landing State park near Pocomoke Maryland. I had a heck of a time finding the winterization valve. So far no water leaks, and the refrig and the water heater are working. I did find another heater flex hose...

Hi - So, I'd like to get a couple of issues looked at w/ my new 3670RL and I figure the factory is the best way to go. Coincidentally, I'm going to be flying out of Chicago for a couple of month trip to Europe. So, a couple of questions: 1) Do I need to make an appointment to be seen? 2)...

I have seen a number of threads about those making a trip to Alaska. I was thinking that it might be interesting to start a thread that discussed places to stay, eat, go see and such. Where to start the trip from the US. What to take and what not to take. What do you do for Internet, phone...

We are planning a trip from New Orleans to the grand canyon with stopovers in Sante Fe, Sedona, Tombstone and Carlsbad before coming back to New Orleans. DW is looking for any sightseeing/activities for those areas. Trying to decide whether to spend 3 days in Williams and drive thru sedona or 2...

In mid-December we traded in the travel trailer and upgraded to a 2009 Bighorn 3055RL. Being my first 5th wheel and also somewhat new to the RV scene I was a little nervous about the operations. On December 26th we headed south into northern California's Wine Country to get out of the ungodly...

:)We are heading out this May 29th apx for a 6000 mile round trip from Ga to Ca. We have made this trip 2 times in the past pulling a 30' trail cruiser trailer and a 32' Cardinal fifth wheel. We are pulling a 07 3400rl BigHorn. We love our Bighorn and have been on about 25 trips over 2500...

We just spent 10 days out dry camping, every system worked flawlessly! The four T-105's and inverter powered the rig nicely, even when using the lights when ever we wanted and using the electric coffee maker before generator hours. The first few days were amazingly warm, in the mid 80's, but...

It was an awesome experience for Maureen and me. We left Colorado Springs in a new Dodge Ram 3500, picked up the 3670 in Elkhart and arrived home 5 weeks and 6700 miles later. The entire trip, although very rainy, was much more enjoyable and satisfying then we had any right to expect. Had some...

We are in the process of planning a 4-6 week road trip starting in Virginia going towards West Coast, (not actually getting to the coast as we don't have enough time) hoping to head North and back to Virginia. We are looking to go during the summer months when school is on break. Trying to get...

Picked up our 09 3250ts last Sat. Took it on a 700 mile three day trip to check it out. Checked all systems, fridge, TV(Jensen), cd/dvd player(Jensen),both water heaters, everything except the AC(to cold). What I found wrong was NOTHING!!!!!. Not a loose screw, sink leak, loose water connection...

Thursday, 9/4 saw a BH headed south on I-20 in Idaho at mile marker 405 about 10:40 am pulled by a silver Dodge. About 2 hours later a BC headed west on I-90 before Bozman. Anyone we know?? BTW, it rained most of the time we were there except the sun came out when Jeff and Glena (daughter) said...

Well this last weekend was our first trip, What a big difference from our cap over, it was so great. Now we just have to had the items we forgot and other little tweaks. But all things consider it was a good trip, planning on going out again this weekend and maybe once more before we have to put...

Well, we've been gone a little over two weeks, with about 2 1/2 weeks to go. We are presently at Winchester Bay RV Resort in Oregon. What a beautiful place!! We can see water out five windows.. not bad! My DH is very handy, thank goodness. The kitchen sink on the right side wasn't...

Hi all! We just got back from a short two night trip to test run our new Bighorn before our big trip in August. The trailer towed just great, no lurching or clanking. We are thrilled with everything so far! Our previous trailer had only one slide out, so having three is a huge difference...
