We would like to attend this, but we are already signed up for the Concoctions & Confections tour. Perhaps another tour will be added. Question - we accidentally signed up for both of the Boats, Bison & BBQ tours. I understand this cannot be corrected, so if any one needs tickets for June...

UPDATE: We had a mobile tech visit the trailer. After testing the front legs for the seal failure, a call to Lippert suggested to check the solenoid to see if the was partial sticking - none found. The middle level-up leg on the drivers side had a failed internal seal. Also found was the...

So I went back out to the trailer. I checked all 6 seals on the legs - dry as a bone. I checked the 4 rear fittings from pump to leg fittings - dry as a bone. Above on the left is another picture of the front leg line from the pump. I did a tissue test and there is no ATF on the crimp or the...

Hey Dan, How do I check for that? Since they are the front jacks, shouldn't I see something on the ground or in the trailer? Why would there be a tiny leak by the valve on top of the reservoir? Would the failure of the valve also be considered an internal leak?

While checking on our trailer in storage, we noticed that the front was way down (pic 1). Opening the front compartment, the right valve/connection had a small amount of ATF on it (pic 2). The reservoir is nearly full (pic 3). The 4 rear legs are also extended which would explain some dip in...

I have used road tripper, but since they changed, I haven't used it. t was good for main route with campgrounds within a given range. Like Dan, I also added RVparkreviews to get an idea of what the traveling public thought.

I had a def sensor go bad on me several years ago. The dealer at that time said that the emission system has a 10 warranty. I think this is covered by gov't requirements rather than a manufacturer warranty even though the time from is similar.

Thanks! Ordered mine today.

How do I figure out the voltage to my Dometic AC units? This is needed to know which easystart model to buy. All I got was the warranty document and the registration card with my rig. My 2014 Bighorn has two 15k units, but I don't know if they take 120 volts or 208/240 volts. I'm guessing...

We get a lot of wind here in the Denver area. I lower the legs to provide additional stability during the winter. It is also a poor mans security system as I leave the legs down and yank the batteries (I also use a pin lock). First thing I do when I return in the spring is silicon the legs...

If we stay more than a day or two, I always clean the legs off. Part of my check list. Make sure to wipe from seal down to foot. Keeps any debris away from the seals.

The part is not exclusive to Heartland. You could open up your search criteria to include other dealers. Just note the model number and manufacturer. You could also reach out to the manufacturer and ask them how much to ship you one over night. Ours that failed was plastic and weighed very...

We had our by-pass valve freeze after following the air/antifreeze process a couple of years ago. The water I think was after the by-pass valve shutting off the water heater. I have now added another step in the process to open the by-pass valve when using air with the water heater drain open...

I replaced all mine with JEGS high performance lug nuts. I've been giving away my old ones when I go to rallies.

We have a F350 srw and a bighorn 3010re. When I weighed the wheel positions, I found out 1 tire was over weight. Combination of offset fuel tank and OEM tires not fully rated for 1 ton (in my opinion). Bought custom 19.5 wheels and run Toyo commercial truck tires. Solved weight issue and...
