Mine stays in the track, but when driving it wiggles its way down the track and out. Even tore where the screws are. Am thinking my slide bounces too much while hauling.

First time driving in a downpour, upon arrival at camp, carpets were soaked by bedroom slide and dining slide. Never had an issue til now. Any ideas where to start looking for leak?
2015 Gateway 3500.

Beware the first right at Edisto even when the gate gaurd tells you to take this route in. Impassable to big rigs because of the oak trees. I have a new roof to prove it.

Awesome! Love my 2014. Nearing 50,000 miles, almost broken in!
If you change your own oil, invest in a Fumoto valve, makes it a snap.

So, the dealer finally seems to be on track. After telling me “gateway” is out of business I emailed heartland with pics and they sent me a list of parts they think I may need. Once I got these to the dealer they put an estimate together for the insurance company. About 7 grand. Word to the...
Looking for recommendations for a repair facility in the Charleston, sc - Savannah, ga area. Tree bit my roof pretty good. Been at the dealer for almost a month with no appraial yet, and I am rapidly loosing faith in them. Any help would be appreciated.

If you like the beach, Edison state park is one of our favorites and the reason we decided to move to Hilton Head Island

A motor home backed into my 5er while parked in storage. Estimated $1100 damage. Only good thing is the gentleman that did it called me and said he would pay for the damages. My faith in humanity is restored! Actually should say awning damage, just got a wisdom tooth pulled and am a little...
Ditto with Trailer Tires and Wheels. Great pricing and service. Upgraded to 17.5" with Goodyear g114s. Tires are also rated for higher speed and have a 7 year life. Oh and now I look where I'm going instead of the mirror at the blowmaxs back there lol

Peeled a little caulk back and there definitely seems to be a 1/4 inch gap between cap and roof. Took pics and sent to my dealer to forward to the company with my extended warranty. Temporarily sealed up with self leveling dicor. Thanks for the heads up everyone!

Thanks everyone, I'll reach out to heartland, I bought it new, there was always what appeared to be a factory caulked gap between cap and roof, thought it was normal but seems impossible to keep the large amount of caulk from developing more cracks...

Hi all, I have 2 issues up on the roof of my 2014 Gateway. The first picture is where the front cap meets the roof, I recaulk with dicor self leveling and in no time the cracks re appear. The second picture is some just discovered hairline splits in the roof. No sign of hitting anything, curious...
Unscrew the light bases, more screws underneath hold the decorative base up. Found this when my base fell out. Had to put mollies in to reattach. Hope this helps.

Read enough and looked at enough pictures in this forum. Ordered 4 new rims and Goodyear G114s. Peace of mind for 7 years.

Test run coming soon! I have a push button extension cord so I can apply wax to the pad and turn on once its seated on the rig so I don't get a wax shower. If it works well I wll get some lock nuts so it won't loosen while swiveling. I used a straight floor squeegee from Ace and hammered it into...
Has anyone found or built an extension for a random orbital polisher? Seems it would be easy to mount a six foot pole to one and save the countless trips up and down a ladder. I was thinking of modifying my telescoping deck brush. Any bracket ideas would be helpful.

I had spider problems on my cabin cruiser, at the marine store I picked up a spray bottle of Spider Kill 2. The next morning 100 or so spiders were hanging from the boat everywhere. Stone dead. I swear by that stuff!
Just got back from a trip, was reading here about someone having a mouse problem in thier ceiling and I suddenly remembered what I thought was strange, at 4am the other night hearing what I thought was a bird tap tap tapping across the roof of my gateway.
Now I fear it may have been a mouse. I...
I hope Heartland sees this and starts using more that a few tiny nail gun nails and one strip of glue for moulding adhesion. Big off side moulding fell off and hit the big screen. I reattached the moulding properly when I got to camp. Pretty ****** off when I turned on the tv and saw the damage...
The sealant definitely can slow the slide down. Mine was so bad it was smeared across the windows and slide sides. Still under warranty so the dealer replaced the seals and cleaned it up. Still took more work from me. Mineral spirits worked best, even on the top of the slide where there was so...
Same problem on my 2014 gateway. It was still under warranty and the dealer removed excess, replaced a seal and cleaned the rest. Bad inspection job at the factory I would say.
Hello,
I own a 2015 gateway 3500re
On the outside top of the big off door kitchen slide there is a thin 4" strip of plastic glued down that runs the length of the far edge of the slide. Part of it was pushed back by the wiper seal casing glue to get on the seal. This caused the d seal track to...
Same problem on 2 windows, i gently tucked one side of the wheel in the track with a flat head screwdriver and as gently as i could popped the other side back in. Will check them after return trip.
My 2 cent ales...forget the tripod, mine is in a landfill, I bought the winfeild x brace and 2 x wheel chocks and eliminated 90% of the jiggles. 3 grandkids / 2 beagle tested!
Hi Bryan
i bought my Gateway 3500 re last year. After all the posts on Towmax blowouts I decided on new tires shelling out $2500 on 4 17.5" rims and Goodyear g115s from trailertiresandwheels.com
i looked at goodyear g614s but found for a little over 100 bucks per wheel the bigger rim gave me a...
I have a 2014 gateway 3500re. When extending the big offside slide, the top seal doesn't flip outward, causing a crease in part of the inner seal. It seems like the seal and top of the slide are too dry and won't catch the rubber. Lube and baby powder that everyone uses seems to me would only...
