I have been fighting an intermittent bedroom AC for almost a year. When it worked it would freeze you out nut then it would quit working and only the fan would run and run and run without the compressor coming on. Changed out the control board and it did not change. I broke the thermostat...

I checked www.safercars.com for any recalls on my vehicles. All you do is enter your vin and it pulls up recalls. The website showed a recall on our Ford C-Max for defective door latches. So I went to our local Ford dealer so they could order any needed parts prior to bringing it in for the...

This sure gets old. I am posting this FYI and so those that are having trouble with reflux get checked out. Remember untreated reflux can lead to Esophageal Cancer. I got a PET/CT scan on Monday (3/28/16). They found a "Maligant Neoplasm of the lower third of the esophagus". This is my 4th...

Just wondering if this is a setting problem or what. When i click on 'New posts' it shows there are 14 pages of new posts when there are many more than 14 pages. Why does it not show the correct number of new post pages?

Several days ago DW was washing a load of clothes and saw water coming from under the washer. We have a separate washer and stackable dryer. The washer is a Majestic brand we've had about 9 years. It has given us great service. Well, after taking the door and door frame off I was able to get...

I hope this isn't a repeat of someone elses issue but I don't want to read through all of the other threads and I do not recall seeing this one. We have the manual Theater Seating in our 2013 Landmark San Antonio. To recline the seat you pull a handle next to the right side of the seat...

We just got a new 'runaround' car. Many times DW will follow me when I am towing the RV is we are traveling to a RV park close (within 250 mile) from home. We use the car to do our running around saving the truck mostly for towing. We had a 2011 Ford Fiesta which got 40 mpg and it was a great...

We bought the Winegard Razor automatic antenna at the National Heartland Rally. It worked great until about 2 weeks ago when a E3 error showed up on the amplifier. The E3 is a motor malfunction. On Thursday of last week I called Winegard concerning this issue. I was told they would send me a...

Does anyone know if there is an air filter for the cabin air in a Ford truck. If so where is it located and how often should it be changed?

Have you tried to open the fire escape window on your RV? We did and it was a good thing we tried it as it was very hard (almost stuck closed) to open. Do you even know where the fire escape window are? Now is the time to find them and be sure you know how to open them. Don't worry they are...

Sitting at home today. The doorbell rang and UPS gave us a package. When I opened it is was from Heartland RV parts and was new glass shower door handles. While at the Goshen Rally the Heartland service team came and repaired one of our shower door handles that had fallen off. We were told...

Earlier today we had some water pressure and then this evening very little pressure. I checked the input (we are hooked up to city water) and there was good pressure coming out of the water hose where it goes into the check valve. The 4 way valve is set on City Water. I checked the check...

Just wanted to give a shout out to Heartland RV and Jason in customer service. I called to let him know of my TRC 41260 transfer switch/surge guard failing. After providing him my vin and the info he requested he told me he would ship a replacement out to me under my factory warranty. 6 days...

Sunday evening I went to start my truck to prepare to leave the RV Park on Monday morning. My truck would do nothing when I turned the key. All I got was a message on the instrument panel saying 'starting sytem fault'. I then remembered a man at the site next to me told me several days...

While working in the underbelly I had to take the spare tire off. When I did I saw the spare was mounted on a steel rim. Luckily I had an unused aluminum rim from our previous Landmark. So I took them to the local tire store and had them mount the spare on the aluminum rim. I was amazed at...

DW and I had a fun day today. We noticed the other day water was dripping from the rear underbelly. So today the wife and i decided to see what might be the problem. We took down the coraplast and found the insulation to be completed saturated. There was nothing leaking so we surmised the...

I recently purchased the 16' multi-colored LED strip lights for the RV. I mounted them just under the awning and connected them into the porch light and mounted the controller on the inside right above the entry door. Whenconnecting the controller wire to the LED strip wire one of the small 4...

The top left LED tail light on the rear of our 2013 Landmark San Antonio has partly quit working. Since I am still in warranty I thought I would be able to get it replaced under warranty without taking it to the dealer. I contacted the selling dealer and they wanted a photo of the tail light...

Here I was reading the forum and new posts when all of a sudden a 'pop-up' appeared from Heartland.org asking me to fill out a survey. The survey ended with a number of ads and coupons asking me to buy something. What the heck is this and when did it start?

Here is a heads up to anyone wanting LED strip lights. PPL in Houston has them on sale right now for $92.12. They are regularly $150.00. These are the ones with the remote control that you can change colors. They are 16 feet long. I don't work for them but just wanted to give everyone a...

We are camped at Thousand Trails Lake Conroe, Texas. Late yesterday evening I kept hearing a motor revving outside. I went out to investigate and in front of our site was a 38 foot Cardinal fifth wheel being towed by a 4wd Chevy crewcab pickup stuck in the mud. Apparently he was trying to...

Just wondering if there is a way to change the timing on the 'welcome back light'. Seems like we no longer get in the door and the light goes off before we can open the cabinet to find the light switch. Is there a way to get the light to stay on longer other than leaving the door open (cause...

I don't understand why a 1 ton truck (F350, D3500 or C3500) is call a 1 ton truck when they are rated to haul 5000 pounds. I thought 1 ton was 2000 pounds.

Well it is done. I spent the past weekend installing slide toppers on our 4 slides. It was not a hard job but it was time consuming. With the help of DW we were able to complete it without outside help except for the Trailer Life installation video. If you are handy at all you can do it too.

Here we are at Thousand Trails Lake Conroe, in Willis, TX for Thanksgiving. There are enough Heartland Products in the park to be a Heartland dealer. There are two Big Horns in front of us and a Big Country behind us. There is an Elk Ridge and a couple of other Big Horns spread out throughout...
