I like my BH 3400RE and plan to keep it for a long time. I have made a number of modifications to fix things I was not comfortable with. But there is two things I don't know how to fix and was wondering what others have done and if maybe Heartland might look into.
We are staying near our daughters for Thanksgivings, Christmas and New Years. The last few days we have had heavy wind and this always causes the flapping door on our vent-a-hood to constantly open and close loud enough to be disturbing. If I go outside to lock it down it is great until I need to use the stove and turn on the Vent-a-hood fan. Now I have to go outside and turn the two tabs so the vent will work. It is very high up and for me, being 6'3" I still have to stretch on my tippy toes to open and close it. It is even worse when it is 25* outside. I would really like to have a cord or chain connected to the flap and go into the trailer where I could lock or unlock the flap. This is not a big money item and would be nice to have.
The other thing that erks me is the plastic fender skirts. It seems that I have to replace or repair them all the time. This is an item that I can not order a special replacement, like I did to replace the axles. I have seen on one trailer the fender skirts were metal. I wish Heartland would start using the metal fender skirts or at least give us a supplier that has them so we could replace them and not have to keep patching the plastic ones.
These are a couple of small items that would improve the trailer and would not cost a lot.
Any ideas??
