I've had good service with Cooper Roadmaster tires on my Newport, it's around 19,500#. They are truck tires, if I'm not mistaken. My rims are 17.5" but I'm sure they have 16" too. Also fairly reasonable. I got them through co-op in Nebraska in 2021 after my two of my Sailun tires blew. Sent...

Whatever you do, skip Progressive. They left me as they said, "You're on your own" at 10:00 pm on a Friday, after calling them for help with a flat on my FW at 3:00. They couldn't find a service to do it for their price and kept upgrading service reps and pay until they ran out of options...

What model and floorplan is your RV? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

It's been a while since I fixed mine, and it was out since the whole reel assembly was replaced under warranty, and they let me have the old reel. There is a cover plate on the left side, and you may be able to replace the gears without removing the entire reel. Is anyone out there who has fixed...

Not sure on a BigHorn but no way without removing it on our Newport. Maybe replace the gears if you remove the end closure that keeps road grime out. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

There is no set order, from what I understand. Just how the electrician wires them that day. The breaker resets on it's own so testing will be difficult. The good news is that not all of the stack breakers are 50 amp. Have someone run the slide until it stops while you monitor a breaker with the...

There is a fuse (electronic and maybe called a Fusetron) in the battery compartment. They get weak and have to be replaced. We had the same problem with our 2017 Newport. Actually, it's in the middle of a bunch of them on a buss. You should be able to change it out. Be sure to disconnect the...

When our two Sailuns blew on the same day (one on each side), the CO-OP tire manager said they wouldn't (or couldn't) sell a tire that was 5 years old or older. Mine were almost 6 years old, but the RV was barely 5. He said that there are shops that get tires that are already 1-3 years old all...

I've been there twice on the same day. Friday the 13th, 2021. Progressive left us on the side of the road. Our tires were 5 years old, with only a few thousand miles. I think it was the hot weather and 40 mph side winds in Wyoming. It tore out both slide out electrical and TV wires plus the...

We figured it out. When the bulb blew out, the circuit reset on the dimmest setting. All I had to do was turn it up. Feel a little embarrassed but I've never worked on the lights with the central controllers before. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

It's a two wire 12 volt light. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Our 2017 Newport shower light burned out a while back. It went from bright to barely on. I ordered replacement bulbs according to the specification in the light. After replacing the bulb and reassembling the light, it was still dim. Nor as dim as the one that blew, but nowhere near the bright...

My mistake. You said no hot water. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Are you saying no hot water or no water at all? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Our Newport has two heat pumps and one AC. We put soft start kits on each one and never have an issue. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Sounds like a thermostat or breaker. The bypass location is different based on your model. I don't have that model. Sorry. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Use the water heater bypass. Release pressure with the T&P valve. Remove the bottom plug and use a water heater flushing wand (Amazon or dealer). You will know when the crud stops coming out. Clean the threads, install the anode plug and clean up the water heater, and siding below it after the...

All good thoughts. Be sure to flush it. It could be full of calcium and burned the element out, and the annode is likely toast. Take it with you to an RV dealer or buy the exact replacement on Amazon. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Have you ever flushed it? How old is the unit? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I don't have solar but did go with a Magnum Energy 3000 inverter with 6 Battleborn 100 amp LI batteries in 2020. Our goal was to provide power for an AC while traveling. We wanted our cats to ride in the front bedroom to be more comfortable than cramming them in cages in the truck back seat. It...

The inverter is usually behind the rear basement wall. Not hard to remove. I had to replace mine for the same reason. Just another part that's easy to swap out if you are handy. Disconnect all power first. Checking the ground is a good idea. Also, check lubrication on moving parts. Your unit...

If you are going to de-mount or almost do it, why not go with internal? Mine are 5 years old and have no issues. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Check for broken or loose wires at the fixture or if no power at the fixture, try to Chek back upstream. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Merry Christmas to all from fridged Southern Indiana! RV life at its finest. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I can see the "stuff" in my half bath black tank and used a laser thermometer to scan the liquid. 67 degrees with outdoor temps in the low 20's. I hope the front tank has similar heat. No water to scan that tank's contents. I will be skirting it tomorrow. We expect below zero temps and I will...

I'm worried that I missed a key element to my winter camping plan in cold weather. I believe that the heat ducts allow some warm air into the area where the tanks are, but now worry that the front tanks have no heat ducts to provide that heat. With the elevated floor and heat registers in the...

I have this unit. 3,000 watts. Be careful with wiring. I have 6 x 100 amp BattleBorn batteries, and the distributor provided 2/0 jumpers. They got very hot, and I had to upgrade to 4/0 for the batteries, disconnect, and fuse. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

You are talking about 2 separate systems, one runs your 12 V system, and the other runs your refrigerator on the 110 V Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

You have to remove the J wrap trim. It's pretty easy, and then you have full access to the reel. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Get the model number and you can get replacement parts from the manufacturer. Mine had stripped plastic gears and they sold metal replacements. Works fine. I would think you could buy parts much easier than replacing the whole unit. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

DOMETIC 3314082.000 BLACK COMFORT CONTROL CENTER II DIGITAL RV THERMOSTAT Tried to add a photo but it wouldn't upload. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I've seen a few topics that almost covered this issue, but nothing with a solution to my problem. The t-stat will run the furnace until it doesn't. What I mean is that it randomly fails to start the furnace when the temp falls. I turn it off and back on and it starts working again. It seems like...

If you have the Greystone fireplace, check the plug in the cabinet. If it is a flat disc with the cord coming out the side, make sure it is not melting. My fireplace, in a 2017 Newport, had a short adapter plugged into the factory plug to allow the cord to run flat against the side of the...

Definitely a splitter problem. I put a coax port on the slideout to run directly for our Dish or cable, whatever we had at the site. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I would think the frame and underbelly would have signs if it was in a flood. I'd contact Heartland for help. Hot sure if they would do anything but they may give some ideas on where to look. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

You are correct. I wasn't focused on the inverter switch, just didn't pay attention. Just frustrated that 5 years of off and on efforts to figure it out have failed. I have no idea and the factory doesn't know. Could it be for the awning wind sensor hookups under the not used covers? I didn't...

I do, it's on, the switch is off. I'll check to see if it got installed upside-down. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I did a search and not likely tank heaters either. Anyone else? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Nope. Was hoping it is for tank heaters. Does anyone have a 2017 Newport or Other Landmark 365 with tank heaters? If so, please show where you turn them on. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Sorry, thought it posted. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
