    I have Pioneer RB-220 at dealers right now, so I can't measure....can you tell me if the PEX hose (freshwater drain on tank) is half-inch or 3/4"?

    Brand new roof looks like this???

    Remember....when using Heartland 'dealer locator' for the Pioneer model, the only dealers coming up are Camping Worlds'. After our current situation is remedied, I may petition Heartland for a dealer who will work on Pioneers. We do have trips scheduled...hoping this issue can be solved in...

    Brand new roof looks like this???

    I'm giving CW one more day, then will call Ryan (the chief at Pioneer sales) at Heartland, as he requested here in this Heartland forum thread if I felt I should. CW has now had my Pioneer for 14 days...and as of this morning, had NOT turned ANYTHING in to Heartland for warranty repair...

    Brand new roof looks like this???

    Took it to Camping World SIX DAYS ago; went over all the issues with a service man, stood there as he entered everything into their computer, and walked with him through the camper, examining and pointing out, touching & rubbing each and every issue. He told me he would call by Friday (today)...

    Black tank flush help.

    I would assume that 'back flow out of the toilet into the RV' would only happen if (while black tank valve closed) when the black tank got full---and you kept on filling the black tank flush, right???

    Brand new roof looks like this???

    I called Heartland this mrning and emailed photo of interior ceiling bubbling---they told me it indeed looked like water damage. I 've emailed them these exterior roof photos just now and will follow up with phone call in the morning. At this point, my wife and I are thinking CW should take the...

    Yes this is the 2016 Pioneer RB220 purchased new from Camping World two weeks ago. Tell me about my roof photos...what do you think??? Does the roof look horrible?

    Brand new roof looks like this???

    Brand new 2016 Heartland RB220. This is inexcusable for a new roof!!!! It looks like bits of construction debris---or screws are poking up through the rubber membrane---and look how filthy and stained this is! Two weeks old!!! Thw slightest pressure on whatever is poking up will cause it...

    Fabric hanging, wiring & flooring exposed

    Re: Fabric hanging, wiring & flooring exposed Yeah we intend to take it in a week or so before the deadline, had a trip scheduled a long time. The issues we have should have been discovered by the dealer and taken care of during 'dealer prep' or before the unit was sold---but these...

    Fabric hanging, wiring & flooring exposed

    Re: Fabric hanging, wiring & flooring exposed Dealer inventory....possibly for a local trade show. Other issues (bulge, exterior scratches, etc) we decided just to wait till we bring it in for the "90 day" checkup"...as the CW dealer told us to 'wait and make note of all issues and bring in...

    Fabric hanging, wiring & flooring exposed

    Re: Fabric hanging, wiring & flooring exposed Wife and I are beginning to wonder if our unit was a demo or 'used'. E.g. Most 12v ceiling fixture bulbs are blackened as if having been turned on for hours and hours...

    Ceiling bubble new 2016 Pioneer

    I can press in on these 'bulges' and they flex as if 'bubbled up' away from the inner framework. Brand new from Camping World--noticed this as soon as we brought the Pioneer home: surely not water damage?????

    Fabric hanging, wiring & flooring exposed

    Took it in to Camping World and they couldn't do anything without first contacting Heartland (that took two hours). We were there six and a half hours....and when we got home discovered they had kept our wheel chocks, and the fabric still had a hole in it that I hadn't noticed! 😂

    Fabric hanging, wiring & flooring exposed

    Obvious that no dealer inspection was done---and we would not have noticed it without running hands/fingers underneath😞

    Fabric hanging, wiring & flooring exposed

    "Tent fabric" between chassis and plating across entire front of my new Pioneer hangs down, flaps while driving---some holes appear worn into fabric revealing wires & floor OSB. Is this normal? Am thinking water can easily get in during rain while driving!Brand new RB220 from camping world 6...

    Wheel nut torque.

    😀 ...at least he wasn't a salesman in disguise, LOL

    Wheel nut torque.

    Yeah the blue pouch and manual. I see the torque now, but nothing on socket size. Odd the manual says 120 when the tech told me 95 to 120 (I asked him if 100 would be good and he said yes).

    Wheel nut torque.

    I couldn't find lug nut torque OR nut socket size on anything in my RB220 factory or Camping World-provided documentation. As usual, a call to Heartland got me results: 15/16ths socket size and 100 lbs torque. This is basic stuff and should be included "s-o-m-e-w-h-e-r-e" on a sheet of...

    BIKE RACK slide-out weight-removal

    I called Heartland, he said it was welded on---and if I had it removed, would have to re-mount the stab jacks. 😞 so I live with the rack, and the fact that the rear stab jacks (as mounted on bottom of bike rack frame) are LOWER than the jacks of my former Rpod without risers 😁

    Disinfectant spray for ABS sinks, shower, etc?

    Contacted Formula 409 and the tech told me their disinfectant spray is safe in ABS plastic....so that's what we will use 😀

    Disinfectant spray for ABS sinks, shower, etc?

    Wife just discovered that every cleaner we used to use on our RPOD's plastic sink & toilet is NOT recommended for use on on the Pioneer's ABS plastic sink and shower surroun. Searching online for 'ABS disinfectant cleaners' etc etc comes up with only hospital instrument sterilization...

    BIKE RACK slide-out weight-removal

    I need to remove the built-in slide-out bike rack on my Pioneer RV220...if it will gain me a few hundred pounds in trailer load capacity. Can it be just "unbolted" or is it welded to the frame? Would removing it change WDH mounting?

    Black pull cable on left?

    Am I correct to assume that the black tank release is on the left...and gray on the right (2016 Heartland Pioneer RB220)?

    Pioneer RB220 owners

    We traded in our Rpod on a Pioneer RB220...looking for others with the same model 😀 The 'Pioneer' appears to only be available at Camping World...nothing online about it except CW links---no info, youtube videos, etc etc unless sales-related, and all online content & links come from CW.

    New User Guide - Water Systems Guide

    Thanks, Dan....I figured out the cabinet rails, must be the 95 degrees inside that made the old brain work! I am familiar and have experience sanitizing my system with the bleach mixture...but was wondering if bleach would create a problem in an aluminum (vs my old Rpod's steel) water tank?

    New User Guide - Water Systems Guide

    Need info on the Atwood water heater plastic plug--what size socket do I get to remove it?...and can I use bleach to sanitize the water heater (I did with a steel tank), or do I need to use vinegar.
