Many of us were walking around using the light from our phones. People were tripping over debris on the floor and bumping into parts, etc. The tour guide acted like he didn't want to be there. He wasn't well-informed and even gave out inaccurate info and was corrected by members of the group. It left a really bad impression with many of us who stood outside after the tour wondering what we just experienced. Which to me speaks volumes about them. If this is Heartland's putting their best foot forward then I don't want one of their rigs. Just imagine the support and concern they'd show after the sale. My thoughts exactly. ken No. It's a liability issue. Those people on the line move fast and furious. A bystanders will be in their way. Moving equipment and all. YOU are the insurance risk they do not want to take. It has nothing to do with their quality OR follow up customer service. i don't think you understand its not that its after hours its the issue of turning the full lights on so you can see …night lights are for safe passage out of an area not for working or viewing .im sure if OSHA had been there things would be differentRe: 2014 Heartland BigHorn 3875FB w/ Yeti package...Value?i have a 2014 Big Horn that i moved to Daytona FL. to spend last winter in..coldest it got was 32* for a day or two . i can tell you …no way would i stay in it in ohio….. the condensation inside goes way up and we were going thru 30# tanks of propane in about 4 days.Re: Automation of the S&B's - Updateits ul approved for whatever thats worth … I'm a retired electrician and am capable of professionally installing a hard wired system but this wireless system is great… takes minutes to install with no programing to speak of ….couldnt be easierRe: Automation of the S&B's - Updatei was testing mine a couple of days ago and my call was there in seconds …seems like i paid around $200 for the equipment which is all wireless cost is less than $15 a month and be canceled without penalty fees ..i believe most other systems require either active phone jacks or an internet connection. I'm trying to get rid of my monthly service fees in the winter, it actually pays for my lot rent in Florida for the winter. i used mine last winter and received one call that someone had entered the house… i notified neighbor … no sign of anything. you can go online and check your system, it has battery back up and lets you know if power is out. alarms can be handled anyway you want, i could have had the motion alarm handled by the police rather than my neighbor. my sons dog actually chewed thru the power cord on one of his visits to check the house they sent me a new cord no charge next day.Re: Automation of the S&B's - UpdateI'm using simplisafe... ez to install, no contract, but more important to me was the fact i could shut down the phone and internet because it calls out on its own saving $100 a month on that …..i added the temp monitor . you can customize how they handle an alarm, i have them contact my son who lives in the area and me rather than the police.Re: Which 5th wheel factory tour would you recomend.took the Heartland tour last sept.….it started at 3:30 after the workers left, they turned off the lights. we walked around with the night lights on . what crap, you couldn't hardly see ,and i considered it dangerous…. so take a flashlight with you
