I was quoted just over 4k for the complete window, frame and all, that is not installed either, just the window. Insane to me Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Lippert does not sell replacement glass, whole windows only, frame and all, and I was okay with that until I found out how much shipping costs were, I called several glass companies here before I found one who could get me the glass for replacement, however nobody was willing to do the job, and...

Tried that, they suggested lippert for a complete window, frame and all, when I checked on ordering one the shipping cost alone was 3 times the window itself, the glass i had cut is an exact match, tint is perfect and its tempered safty glass as well, I tried to remove the hinge material but...

Does anyone know where to find a roll of piano hinge material that is used on frameless windows? The reason I ask, my grandson kicked a rock up while running a weekeater and broke an exit window, I had a new piece of glass cut but can't find hinge material. Any help appreciated, lippert was no help

Found this interesting, supposedly the towmax tires can be ran at higher speeds if the max cold pressure of 80 psi is increased by 10 psi, so driving at 75 from 65 will not hurt the tire, i wouldn't recommend doing this and know the towmax tires are not safe at any speed, just thought this was...

Fastcarsspeed, we replaced the towmax tires with westlakes, same rateings as the goodyear g614's for about half the price, so far so good, just make sure your wheels and valve stems are rated for 110psi, i looked for sailun tires but could not find any from.local tire dealerships and would have...

Tireman, thanks for the info, one thing i was very careful about was checking tire pressures and wheel bearings, before and during any traveling. One thing i was suprised by was how much pressure buildup there is when cold pressure shows 80psi and after 300 miles on the road pressures could...

Here is a pic of one of the other tires sidewall, the one that let go looked like this as well as 2 others of the 4 on the fw. The Westlake tires we replaced the towmaxs with are 14 plys, 4050 weight rating at 110psi, about the same specs as the Goodyear G614's, 75mph speed rating. If you go...

Tireman9, as per your request for a pic, i knew or had read about these tires failing, but we had to make a trip north for a family matter so didn't change them before we took off. I did get quite a few miles on the fw before we had this blowout, mostly cooler weather travel, not sure that makes...

I find it interesting that Heartland is still using towmax tires with so many failures, our blowout of one included in the many. I couldn't find the Sailuns??sp?? We would hve had to mail order a set and needed tires asapand couldn't wait but did we find a decent tire for replacement, Westlakes...

Going over the different forums and subjects here, some themes are a normal occurance no matter the make and model of trailer or fw. Kitchen sinks being one of the many, our Gateway had a leak that was intermittant and impossible to locate because of that fact, it took 2 1/2 years before we got...

This is an interesting thread, my wife and i recently sold our hhome in southern Idaho, we were spending most of our time up north visiting our kids and grandkids so decided to relocate, i was making 6 to 8 trips a year back and forth, a little over 1200 miles each trip, we would stop in Montana...

Enjoy your new Gateway, we have had ours for almost 3 years now and love it still, typical for us to.trade in after 5 years or less to a new rv but as of now my thinking is we will keep this one for quite a while, still beautiful, comfortable and very few issues compared to every other brand...

Easier to access if you remove the side panel in the udc instead of the smaller one recommended by the factory, if your model is like mine, there are 5 valves, thats including the pump valve used to suck antifreeze out of the bottle. Some are hard to find, tucked under other wireing and water...

Welcome to the Gateway owners club!! My wife and i looked at so many different makes, models layouts we couldn't remember what had what, after the third go round we had a short list and ended up buying the 2014 Gateway 3500RE in October 2013, so far we have had a few issues but nothing that has...
