    2009 North Trail 21fbs mystery button??!!

    If fans were installed (properly) on the fridge they would be in the back of the fridge blowing over the coils. The grate under the fridge is probably access to your heater or water heater. There should be an access/vent panel in the outside the wall behind the fridge. You might be able to...

    2009 North Trail 21fbs mystery button??!!

    Just a wild guess. Since it's near the refrigerator, maybe a previous owner added cooling fans to the back of the refrigerator and that switch turns on the fans.

    Garage floor receptacle, and outside receptacle have no power.

    A GFCI can be at a wall plug near a kitchen or bath. But instead the circuit could be protected by a GFCI breaker, which you indicate you have. The GFCI breaker could be on the circuit that controls the outlets that are dead. You said the GFCI breaker was good. Did you reset it by toggling it...

    Cable slide jerking and making noise.

    Barring an obvious obstruction, you might want to check the slide mechanism adjustment first. You will have to remove the top fascia to access the mechanism. This video may help.

    Boondocking / dry camping with roof air conditioner and all electrical outlets operational? (2024 North Trail 25RBP)

    May be some confusion on my part. When you said you were going with a 3000 Watt inverter, you said " where only the HF upgrade was still available". I thought you were saying you were changing to the regular 3000 watt inverter, not the HF model. If you are in fact going to the HF model, it...

    Boondocking / dry camping with roof air conditioner and all electrical outlets operational? (2024 North Trail 25RBP)

    Sorry you didn't like the qualified installer reference. The intent is to keep you and whoever is working on you RV safe, including when your system is in use. I didn't say this, but for reference, I am an electrical engineer and I installed my own RV Solar including dual transfer switches...

    Boondocking / dry camping with roof air conditioner and all electrical outlets operational? (2024 North Trail 25RBP)

    There is no transfer switch in your RV unless the solar installer put one in. As previously mentioned, if you had a generator prep package, then yes. But generator prep is not an option from Heartland for your model. As david-steph2018 says, you would have to install a transfer switch...

    Balancing our trailer tires

    I have always had mine balanced when new. Never had a tire shop say no. Don't know why your tire shop is balking. Why should they care. You're paying for it.

    Trailer Purchase - What to look out for

    A through check list is your best friend. From my experience on my last coach purchase.....As it was in Oregon and I was in California, I negotiated the price over the phone and email. But, it was subject to inspection. No papers were signed of money exchanged until I was satisfied. Then we...

    Trying to avoid disaster

    The black tank in an RV is not meant to be open all the time. It is meant to be closed until full and then dumped. Leaving the black tank open all the time will inevitably lead to the dreaded poop pile in the tank which will clog the tank and cause additional problems. For 3 in the morning...

    Trying to avoid disaster

    Stay in a park that has a restroom and don't use the RV toilet. A gray water disaster is far easier to deal with than black water disaster.

    Slide roof

    Take a look at the video in the link below. It will tell you how to determine the roof material type. You may have to remove the inside Fascia board of the slide to be able to see both sides of the material on the slide roof. https://www.keystonerv.com/owners-how-to/exterior-edpm-or-tp-roof

    2019 Heartland Mallard M335 120vac electrical issue

    Since the affected outlets are in the slide, you might want to check the flexible cable under the slide for broken wires. There should also be a junction box on the frame that the flexible cable connects to. Unplug from shore power and check the connections in the junction box. A voltmeter...

    2015 Gateway Front Cap Decal

    The only place I know to get the paint code (color mix) is from Heartland. Call customer service. The likelyhood that they could/would supply a decal for a trailer of that age is slim to none. But it never hurts to try.

    New Travel Trailer, No Solar Prep

    I believe that your unit has what Heartland is calling "The Vault" at the front of the trailer. Inside is a fuse (left bottom) that is not connected on one side. There is a wire exiting the other side of the fuse. I don't know where it terminates. This is the solar prep they advertise...

    Bedroom slide leaks when it rains

    I had a similar leak in the corner of my bedroom slide (Schwintek). Turned out to be a small plastic drain cup at the bottom corner of the slide that wasn't sealed properly. I re-caulked the cup. No more leak. Not saying this is your problem, but it is something you can check.

    Sundance 2023 21hb (New) batteries will not charge on shore power

    If everything is powered while on shore power, your converter is working. I believe Heartland now uses a central wiring box at the front called "The Vault". The wire from the converter enters this box and powers all the fuses within the box. Power is distributed to the RV from there. Do...

    Baffled by my inverter

    Your answers will need to come from the dealer. Specifically, the person(s) who installed the inverter. They should be able to tell you how it is connected and what circuits it can operate. There is more than one way to accomplish that type of installation. As the frige is dual power, it...

    Residential fridge not working on shore power

    There should be an automatic transfer switch between the inverter and the fridge. It transfers power for the refrigerator between the inverter (when not on shore power) and the shore power when connected. It sounds like the the transfer switch may not be working. Not sure why the inverter is...

    Lithium Upgrade

    According to WFCO web site, the WF9865-AD has what they call "Auto Detect" technology. In other words, it is suppose to be able to detect the type of battery and automatically adjust the charging profile for lead/acid or lithium. But, it takes one discharge/charge cycle to make the...

    Lithium Upgrade

    Did you check/change your converter? Not all converters are able to fully charge Lithium batteries. For Lithium, the converter need to be able to output 14.6 volts in order for the battery to fully charge. For a lead/acid battery, the normal output for a converter would be 13.6 volts. So if...

    The Trip!

    Original tires on trailers (like new cars) are the lowest grade tires they can find. Also, imho, if your RV tires are over 5 years old they are aged out (no matter what they look like) and you are on borrowed time. As already suggested check out rvtiresafety.net.

    There is a nut under my floor (Solved)

    If it were mine, i think I would make a slit along the edge of the nut and gently coax it out. Then lightly heat the spot up with a hair dryer as rhodies1 suggests. Then I would lay a heavy weight on the spot to flatten it down. After it cools, you can check to see how well it matches up...

    side camera location

    I considered two ways of dealing with the problem of the awning arm blocking the camera view. One was to 3D print a stand off bracket (spacer) the same size as the marker light to move the camera farther out. The other is to move the camera farther down the side. I chose to move it farther...

    31 DB Slide gear disengages

    Elkridge wall repair.

    I took a look at your picture again and comment about moving for hunting. Is that a gun safe strapped down at the rear? if it is, something that heavy could be a contributing factor (side to side sway) to the back wall movement.

    Elkridge wall repair.

    I think it's unlikely you will find parts for a 13 year old trailer. That's not to say you can't improvise. Places like Bontragers surplus in White Pigeon would be a good resource. https://bontragers.com/ There are others in the Goshen area as well. You also might benefit from others who...

    Milestone 386bh vacuum breaker

    I don't have your unit, so a bit of a guess here. I looked for some pictures on line and found the one below. It looks like there are three connections in the bay. So if you have two black tanks, I would guess two are for black tank flush and one is for city water hook up. So they may be...

    Wiring color codes for tail, turn and brake lights

    The single blue line should be the fresh water holding tank drain. The red and blue lines together are the low point drains. To drain the water heater properly, you would need to remove the plug with the sacrificial anode at the water heater.

    Puzzling Backup Camera Issue..

    Step one....buy that mouse. :LOL: Unfortunately, it may still be easier to remove the camera to check the voltage and polarity of the plug at the camera with a volt meter. Otherwise, you will have to locate where the other end of the pre-wired cable is connected to insure it is connected...

    Furnace Outlet does not line up with floor inlet Ducking.

    Got it. Common sense would indicate that the way it's installed would cut the air flow through the heater by 50%. Which on the surface would seem to be wrong. However, before making a change, I think you might want to call Heartland. Have your VIN ready. They may have had some reason for...

    2018 Prowler Lynx 32LX Furnace

    Looking at many examples of Lynx 32LX including the 2017 Heartland Brochure, I wasn't able to find any reference or example of an option for a second heater. Perhaps the previous owner added a second heater. If that's the case, how it's wired (thermostat) is anyone's guess. May require tracing...

    2018 Prowler Lynx 32LX Furnace

    There should be ducting from all floor registers to the heater. When the thermostat calls for heat, the furnace fan should start and the furnace should light about 15 seconds after the fan starts if the furnace is working properly. Don't know if you have a Suburban or Atwood. Look in the...

    Suburban propane furnace woes

    Though there is still plenty of length on the brushes, what you were experiencing a contact problem. Could be the brushes were not moving freely because of the carbon buildup. Or, the commutator was excessively dirty. If you feel energetic, you might want to clean up the old motor and test is...

    Draining low point drains

    Maybe I'm not understanding your question. The levers on the end of the low point drains are the valves. In your picture they are closed (normal condition). To open them, turn the lever in line (parallel) with the pipe. They do not normally have caps.

    need help with my 2023 3714 cyclone

    So it's not unusual for a dealer that didn't make the original sale to balk at warranty repairs. If you can find a mobile tech that can/will take on the problems, you may be able to get them addressed that way. But be aware that Heartland will have to approve any repairs before they are done...
