Has anyone found a good match for the MPG silver frame paint? Thank you

Also check the calking around the rear lights above the window. A friend of mine who owns a 181 had a lot of damage done because calking went bad

OK, I've been censored twice for bashing Heartland, so I'll try to be more diplomatic this time. The only reason I can think as to why they drilled such a large hole for two wires is they use one drill bit for all the holes which saves time/money. However, I think Heartland should review...

We have an MPG-181 and the left rear storage compartment the white strip molding was lose. So I popped it off thinking I would re-nail it. While I had it off I noticed wet saw dust laying in the bottom of the gap between the floor and the back wall. The bottom of the wall is also spongy. I...

I sent Heartland the pictures and they told me to either fill it in, or replace it.

Do any of you guys have a gap in your Rear Window Gasket? Is it normal?

The MPG does not have a rubber roof

Never heard of the "Hybrid Axle"; what is it?

I agree the MPG forum is almost deserted; simply not enough MPG's out there. Thanks for the pic's

Give Heartland a call 877-262-8032 and be prepared to give them your VIN. Ask them to fax you a copy of the Framing blueprints for your MPG; That's what we did last year, and they were very helpful. m

Welcome to the MPG club. My only concern is what is your Honda's towing capability? If it's 3,500Lbs you are pushing the safety envelop. The 184 base weight is 2,988, and that doesn't include the battery. Remember, the towing capacity is calculated with a driver only, and all additional weight...

We use 3M Command hooks, and also use Heavy Duty double sided automotive tape. If you need to attach to a stud, you can call Heartland Customer Service: 877-262-8032, and ask them to fax you a copy of the drawings for your MPG; you will need to give them your VIN. I would double check with a...

The channel is called "Awning Rail", "Awning Channel", or "Awning Track", depending who you buy from. The strip is called "Awning Rope" http://www.sailrite.com/Awning-Rope-Vinyl-3-8 this is just a sample, as I don't know what the correct size is. Both are available at Sailrite

I used some simple automotive polishing compound on a small area it quickly removed the oxidation; I then put a coat of Meguiars Ultimate wax on, and it looks as good as new. Meguiars has a product for RV's called Mirror Glaze HD Oxidation Remover, Nubmer M4916 which I will try as soon as I can...

What does the label on your hitch indicate? The label on our MPG-181 indicates 250 Lbs., but I had heard it was lowered to 125 Lbs., so I called Heartland. They indicated the capacity for my 181 was 250 Lbs. as shown on my label. However, they realized that folks have a propensity to overload...
