We have Progressive for the Trailer and all of my vehicles through The Hartford/AARP. Good rates and good coverage. Fred

Elizabeth and I were up in Bellingham WA last winter. Worst winter they have had in years. Temps were down to 10 deg and stayed there for a couple of weeks. I used the Home Depot heat tape and wrapped it with the foam pipe insulation. Never had an issue. The ice and snow drifts were so bad that...

We have been living in the BH full time for the last two years. We have been in S. Texas since Jan. I had a second AC installed in June and they have run, practically, 24/7 since then. So the humidity has been low, in the trailer. We had a small leak on the rear of the main slide, in the spring...

Asking again. Well, let me try this one more time. I am still having issues with the bumbs behind the wall paper and it is spreading to other areas of the coach. It is not the paper bubbling, there are bumps rising up out of the wall board behind the paper. Have there been any other issues...

I just went to Lowe's and picked up some heat tracing tape and pipe insulation. Probably $40 total cost. Spent the winter in Billings Mont, then moved over to Washington state. Sub freezing temps the whole time and never a problem. The heat tape plugs in to the UDC. Has a termostat that kicks in...

Congrats. Glad Mom and little one are doing good.

Semper Fi and thanks.

Jim: Put me on the list for one of the flags. It would look great flying next to my Eagle, Globe and Anchor flag.

Just couldn't pass up the chance to show that truck off, could ya guys?;) jk. lol Great truck. Have seen it up close and love the Monroe conversion. Looks like the Kodiak/Top Kick is what I will be going with. Wanted an International RXT, but they quit making them about a year ago. Maybe I can...

Ray answered 1-4. As for #5, We don't strap ours down, have never had them move or suffered any damage by not strapping them down. We even carry a scooter inside the coach and don't strap it down, have never had it move on any trip. The last trip we took was from Birch Bay, WA ( 18 mi. S of the...

I'd say that junction box under the slide would be your best bet.

And what does the screw adjust? Pressure? Volume? Fred

Thanks for the update and heads up. Fred

Mine was installed backwards and never allowed water to pass through. Luckily I didn't have a leak. The dealer was new to Heartland and didn't know why the hose was going up in the wall between the bath and kitchen, so he just cut the lines and spliced them. Never had a problem since. I leave a...

My sentiments exactly HT and Ray. I love my Duramax/Allison. I would go with a 2008 or earlier if I were to upgrade to a newer truck. I have the earlier version Duramax with a 310hp engine. The LMM engines produce 360hp. Plenty of HP and Torgue for pulling these trailers. I have the Edge set on...

I have a slider hitch in my short box GMC. I had a Coachmen before the BH and would always have to slide the hitch on tight turns and backing. Have been pulling the BH since 9/07 and have not found one occasion where I needed to slide the hitch. Will be upgrading to a heavier hitch soon as we...

I was told by the technician that installed my satellite that the outside connections will not work with the dish. He said he has never seen it work on a TT or FW. He said there are splitters in the line and they will mess up the signal. He ran mine right through the window to the turner. I...

Jim: I have not been on the forum that much, lately, and just stumbled across this thread. I am sorry to hear of your illness, but you definitely can beat this, a friend of ours had stage 4 throat cancer diagnosed last December. He was just declared cancer free the 7th of July. You will be in...

Ditto, what Jim said. Fred

I would call Dometic, they make the AC. 1 (800) 544-4881 Fred

I don't have a Dodge, but I run the Edge Juice. It gives a few more power settings than the EZ, but the same principal. I run on the recommended setting, which is Level 2. I couldn't be happier. My tranny,when I was on cruise, used to try to downshift out of overdrive on small hills and...

Wow!! RV insurance must be different than auto insurance. I would have thought that they would cover the damage, but not the part that broke. I had a fuel pump go out on a truck that I owned. It caught the engine compartment on fire, bubbled paint on the hood and damaged all the wiring on the...

Breakers do go bad. If the tightening doesn't work, I would replace the breaker. You didn't say if the breaker trips with just the dryer running, if it does then the dryer could have a short.

It may be the case that a moderator has not reviewed it yet. The "ask the factory" section is moderated and all posts must be approved by a Moderator. That holds true for everyone, regardless of how long they have been a member of the forum. You might check back a bit later and see if it has...

Not to be too contrary here, but that is another one that I have never heard a personal experience about. I would love to meet someone that personally has had their insurance refuse to pay a claim based on the trailer being overweight. If that has happened to anyone on the forum would sure like...

As far as being able to stop. The part numbers for the brake system on 2500 vs 3500 are indentical. The brake system on the two trucks are exactly the same. The only advantage is the fact that you have 6 wheels on the ground instead of 4. Truth be known, as the chart says, a vast majority of the...

I am not aware of anyone on this forum that was "caught" by the highway patrol from being overweight. Could you elaborate or could the person that was caught speak up, would like to know what exactly transpired? I have pulled my rig in many states and have never gotten a second glance from any...

I had the inlet hose on my water heater leaking and created the same problem. I didn't know there was a leak until I pulled out and water ran out the bottom. When we stopped at the next park, I checked and saw the leak. Tightened the fitting and haven't had any more problems. I guess the answer...

According to the Towing World chart on Towing Laws it is legal, in 20 states, for people to ride in the back of a fifth wheel. Not that I would do it, but if it is legal for people, I don't see why the law would object to pets being in there. I have stopped to use the bathroom and left a bottle...

We have used Angel Soft from day one and have never had a problem. There is a tank deoderizer and cleaner called "Happy Camper". It is sold on the internet. It was mentioned on the forum and we ordered it and would not use anything else. Never an odor or a plugged line. Great stuff. We have used...

When I installed the AC in the bedroom, I closed off the bedroom vents. I took a large ziplock bag and stuffed a couple of hand towels in it and put it in the duct just before the first bedroom vent. It greatly increased the airflow from the vents in the main area of the coach. I left the...

What is that, Joe. I haven't heard of that before. Thanks Fred

You guess is as good as mine. Never have been able to figure it out myself. Fred

After reading that article, I'll keep my '04 GMC. Just passed 100k, should be good for, at least, another 300k. Fred

Mine too, HT. I am stuck down here cooking in Texas.:eek::( We just finished a new construction project, here at Shell Deer Park, and I am being sent over to the Olefins unit for a turnaround, so doesn't look like NW Salmon or Halibut will be on my menu anytime soon. :(

Alan & Sandy: I was born in Oregon and spent the last 20 yrs up in the Seattle area. Lived on Whidby Island for 13 yrs and up in Bellingham until we went on the road 3 yrs ago. It is beautiful country with a multitude or recreational activities. There is world class skiing within a few hours...

We had a bit of a problem during June, when the temps were in the high 90s. So I had a second AC installed in the bedroom. Opted for the 15k. Then I blocked the bedroom vents and that really picked up the airflow from the main AC unit. You can stand under the vents in the kitchen and it will...

My dealer did not charge me a PDI fee. I would think that tightening fittings and checking the rig for proper operation would be done, by any reputable dealer, as a matter of course. I had a bit of an issue with the hot water heater fittings leaking a bit, but that was it. But like HT said...

Pictures would be nice. I have an issue with the paper getting bumps under it. I posted on the ask the factory thread, but never got an answer. I am out of warranty, so was just looking for advice, but maybe we have the same issue and are just calling it different things. Is is possible for you...

Great looking trailer!!! Welcome to the Heartland family. Fred & Elizabeth
