Lol, sorry, but we had the same happen about three years ago. In all this time have not seen it exit or have any issues with the tank.

I have the same fridge. When I have winterized I first run antifreeze throughout all the other lines with water feed valve to ice maker closed. I then open the valve and let the antifreeze work it's way to the ice maker. Usually after three or four cycles I get pink ice. I disconnect antifreeze...

Re: EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: ON, Niagara Falls - 9/17/2020 to 9/20/2020 We are booked for the campout in Sept. Looking forward to a fun time with our Heartland friends.

Is your friend taking orders?

Kim and I are looking forward to attending. The dates are in our calendars. I am curious regarding SOB's not being invited. As you know several long time members have transitioned to SOB over the years and we still enjoy and look forward to their participation in the Ontario rally's. What makes...

Re: EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: ON, Cherry Valley - 6/12/2020 to 6/14/2020 It is in the calendar.

Got mine after about four week wait. Love it.

I had the same issue with my 20A breaker on the generator tripping. It turned out to be a weakened breaker. Replaced it and problem went away.

I installed the EZ Snap system while in Florida this past winter. Put the screens on the south facing door side large windows and the west facing rear window. They made a significant difference. Went from using both A/C units in 90+ degree temps to primarily getting by with a single unit...

Hey Mike. I am in for golf.

Yesterday, after a refueling stop the display on my '11 F350 showed "Trailer Wiring Fault". The 5er was connected as evidenced by all lights working. The truck manual indicates this fault is related to brake wiring and could indicate a number of possibilities. I first checked to see if I had...

Count us in. I will let you know the actual arrival/departure dates soon. Do we book a site through the resort or through you?

Replaced original drum brakes this spring after six years of travel, including return trips to south Texas, Arizona, several winters in Florida and many short trips in the area. No brake issues at all. Annual bearings repack and brake inspections. 7k axles and travel weight of 15,500lbs.

My leak was in the tubing after it exited the belly and ran outside under the slide. The quick fix was to cut out the leak and using sharkbites spliced in a good piece of tube. For longer term piece of mind going the steel corded route is best.

Looking forward to Spring finally arriving. Kim will prepare meatballs for the potluck.

I made my appointment in June while at the '15 National Rally for August of that year.

Great video. Our answers - stacked rolls in holder on floor, household paper, flushed, and Kim does the deed.

Heartland and Lippert repaired my frame flex issue summer of '15 at Heartland's new service location. They did an excellent job and also within the time frame stated with my only cost being getting the rig there and my accommodation costs for the five days they had it. The caulking along the...

My suggestion would be to get your unit weighed (configured for normal travel), focusing on Pin weight. My 2013 3650rl configured with the Onan gennie in the front compartment, and front closet full of clothes, and basement loaded with bbq, chairs, etc came in at 4030lbs pin weight which would...

What do you use to lubricate the Anderson valve?

I called Heartland a few weeks back with the same question. They will provide the paint formula for your rig once you have given them your VIN. They sent me an email with attached pdf file with the relevant info. With this you can go to a paint shop and have them mix and provide either an...

Three may well be enough. I went with four Group 29's as I had the room. What I discovered during our many one or two night boondocks is you may be using more battery power than you think. If you want to put two or all six of your hydraulic feet down that will use capacity. If you want to put...

I replaced my Nevercold with the Samsung RF18. Removed the drawer below the old unit, added a piece of plywood on the bottom and the new one slid right in. The small gap left at the top was covered with a wood vent grill for ventilation. I added a Samlex 2000 invertor and additional batteries...

It's on the travel calendar. Can't wait.

Thank you for your valued responses. For those suggesting I need a pressure regulator, I have had one on the flush inlet from day 1. Cheers

I have gone through three of these in the last six months. Each failure has resulted in wet carpet in the basement. I would prefer not to go through this again. Is it ok to replace the vacuum breaker with a normal check valve? If not, why not?

Mike, count me in for golf.

I had similar symptoms as I headed south this fall. I initially ignored it but at our next overnight stop the front legs extended part way then stopped They would not extend further or retract. Investigation determined it was the hydraulic system solenoid. Was able to retract front legs using...

Thanks everyone. I now have a couple of leads to follow.

Here is example. Genni output voltage with no load is 120V. With load applied eg. Microwave, voltage output increases to 123V. - - - Updated - - - Trusty AC meter works as expected when on shore power showing decrease in voltage when load applied. When on gennie power meter shows increase in...

Thanks for the input. I have the manual. There are no fault codes flashing. When load applied the voltage will increase for the duration of the applied load. Base voltage (no load) can range from 105V to 120V depending on quality of shore power. Increase in voltage will be 2-6V over base...

Voltage increases 2-6V when single appliance load applied which is usual decrease. No faults indicated on gennie display.

I have the built in Onan 5500 gennie. It has worked flawlessly for five years. Hours are fairly low at less than 100. I have a Camco AC meter which I leave plugged in all the time. This helps me know when shore voltage is weak especially when using 30A service in some parks. Typically voltage...

We changed out our Nevercold for a Samsung RF18 two years ago and love it. It is a counter depth unit and was straight forward to install, Lost the drawer below the original unit but the additional cubic feet and consistent temps was worth it.

Hans, I will be in Myrtle Beach in about a week and set up for a couple of weeks before moving on to Florida. I will take some additional photos then. The flat end of the horizontal tube fits wedged between the horizontal rail that the awning is attached to and the rivets/bolts protruding inside...

Hans, here are a couple of pics showing what I have done to support the awning of our BC while staying for longer periods in one spot. The result is a very rigid support system for the awning which removes all tension on the existing awning supports. Both the vertical (two piece) and horizontal...

I have a Samlex 2000 PSW inverter along with a 30A transfer switch to power my Samsung 18cf refer and some 110V outlets (on same circuit) when not on shore power or generator. Have had zero issues

I have the glass vessel sink in our 2013 Big Counry bathroom as well. Mine also started to loosen, then developed a leak below the sink into the cupboard. I took it all apart and discovered the metal tubing which connects the sink to the PVC had corroded where it connected into the base of the...

We park ours next to the house and leave the slides out between trips. Rig is completely stocked including fridge so it gets used as external pantry and source of fridge items when needed. It is also my summer clothes closet. Also great place for my afternoon nap and hideaway when the house gets...
