sorry but i have to call BS on that one!

2000 F350 7.3 powerstroke 273k and still going strong. only thing done to the engine was a turbo rebuild last winter. 17 empty, 9-11 towing depending on terrain. gross weight loaded with family, full of fuel and the dog...21.5k

i too had problems with broken springs on my 2010 Sundance 3300RLB. now i am seeing excessive frame flex issues. Before anyone asks or assumes, yes i weighed my unit and i am within the GVWR. Heartland wants the unit back at the factory to repair, which i don't have a problem with and would...

the most common place is to run the wire down through the refrigerator vent. no drilling holes through the roof, and with just a little work you can access all the way to the bottom of the cabinets inside.

i would assume that if there was a pressure leak somewhere the pump would cycle on and off even when there is no faucet open. this is not the case. i have replaced the pump (i carry an extra one just 'in case'), installed a new check valve on the cold water inlet to the water heater, and...

i have the 3 valve winterizing system if that makes a difference.

as the water pump cycles on and off while using the shower, you get a blast of cold water when the pump comes on. this started about 1 week ago. the pump has always cycled on and off as the pressure goes up and down so i am not thinking that is an issue. however i never had the problem of...

Alan, have you compared your Foremost policy with a similar policy with Poliseek? i had foremost with my S.O.B. and when i bought the new Sundance i shopped around and found poliseek to have better coverage with higher limits than i had before, with full replacement value for the higher valued...

no, that is not a brake controller. all that does is change how the transmission shifts to assist in engine braking and heavy hauling. the brake controller is a stand alone electronic device. the factory ford units are in the center part of the dash i believe. somewhere under the vicinity of...

271K on my ferd and still going strong. 90% of it's life is pulling my house around.

the B&W companion fifth wheel hitch will only work for you if you already have the B&W goose-neck setup in your truck. otherwise, you will need to change the entire goose-neck hitch assembly under the bed.

locating roof rafters is not an issue. i doubt many panels out there are actually secured directly to the rafters. just find an open spot and lag the brackets to the roof, making sure to use dicor anywhere you penetrate the roof. the only installation i would be concerned with finding roof...

yeah, have to agree. if you want a real truck get a ford. hmmm...maybe i just started something.:D:D:D:D:D "did i do that?"

Alan hit the nail on the head. it is the control board for the propane portion of the water heater including the direct spark ignition. the 120 volt heater is not part of that little box.

just to clarify for other readers, this is a companion hitch which goes in the truck in place of the gooseneck ball and in no way alters or affects the pinbox on the trailer. this will NOT void the trailer warranty. they make a very good quality product. this is what i would recommend if you...

the under belly insulation is astro foil so no danger of water damage to that.

post some pics too. that will help answer your ?'s

if it was ordered with 7000# axles then it should have 7000# springs. (3500# each.) they would most likely be 5 or 6 leaf spring packs.

if you must make sharp turns do it slowly, and as stated above, sometimes you will need to go forward/backward a few times during a maneuver in order to put less stress on the axles.

i would definately get an after market cooler on that tranny. you need to keep that thing cool. start pulling steep hils in summer time and you are going to get a lot hotter than 210.

when you say it works for a while then it won't come one...and you turn it off and then back on and it works again...please be more specific as this might help narrow down the problem a little bit.. when it stops working, is it running but just blowing cold air? or does it do nothing at all...

sorry, but you are WAY WAY overloaded with that tv/tt combo. that is an accident waiting to happen. i hope you don't travel with a family in that thing.

x2 on what newbie said. also just to add to that, without the clamp on the fuel line the pump may be sucking air and not priming properly, causing the loud clicking to continue. i would not start or run the generator until you get the clamp on either. wouldn't want to burn up that pretty...

if the gfi is tripped the fridge will still work on lp. the circuit board runs on 12volt dc, not 120volt ac.

i'm not familiar with the remote thermostats but the principle would be the same as wired i am sure. if you can get to the receiver unit for the thermostat, try removing the heat mode wires and see if the furnace stops. if it does then you have a bad thermostat. when you disconnect the wires...

oops, I didn't pay close enough attention to your post Alan. Early 2003 models had the 7.3 with 4r100 still in them, and later 2003 had the 6.0 with 5r110. you obviously were referring to the 5r110, i was referring to the 4r100. you are correct, the 5r110 is actually a 6 speed but the shift...

Alan, if it's anything like the earlier ones (my 2000 for example) there is not actually an extra gear. the tranny just does not allow the torque converter to lock up when the fluid is cold, hence the higher rpm. usually after about a minute of highway speeds the torque converter will lock...

if you are using the furnace, keep in mind that on those really cold nights it will use a lot of propane.

they must not have been prepped/cleaned properly before being painted. it's still under warranty, get them replaced.

i had my 5er there for some warranty work. after 2 weeks of leaving messages and waiting for a call back that never came, i called heartland and found out Manteca had never even filed the claim. Then the next day the service manager called me and asked where my trailer was, he couldn't find it...

most manufacturers, save just a few, have a clause for "full timing" in their manuals. however, Heartland generally looks the other way and takes care of issues anyway. I have not heard of Heartland refusing a warranty item because of a unit being used for full timing. I have heard of other...

I have a 2010 3300RLB, and my slide outs are ugly. let me explain... the mastic which is used in assembling the slide outs is sticking to the inner wiper seal when the slide out is in the open position. when in the open position, the inner seal rests right against the seam where the mastic...

2010 3300RLB. how are the front steps that go up to the bedroom attached/secured? i need access under the steps for a project i am doing.

all good suggestions. any of them will do you fine. just stay away from the cheapo rv type regulators. they are prone to failure, and they do quite often.

the transfer switch i have installed in my unit has a 30 second delay for startup, it will not allow power to be switched to the generator for 30 seconds, allowing the generator to stabilize and get up to speed before any load is applied. as far as shut down, i just make sure there are no heavy...

as long as it's stored where sunlight can get to the panels, and you have a charge controller, leave it as is. i would just make sure the water is topped off in the batteries when you park it.

mine is not a wireless thermostat. it is off by 6 degrees. i have checked it using a few different thermometers with the same results. it has been replaced twice by heartland and all the replacements have been way off as well. inferior product i suppose. i give up. i will either just live...

Alan i have to agree with you. it just looks awful with the windows covered that way. i wouldn't want it.

no. standard gensets produce pure sine wave. however the hertz cycle and voltage can fluctuate with engine rpm. inverter generators have an advantage in this area, under load they will still produce a good hertz cycle and voltage up to their rated capacity. even with slight variation in...

i had a hard time deciding between 3 or 4 but settled on a 4. as far as bang for the buck i feel heartland has it hands down. QC is where the problem is. I have had my unit about 6 months now and have had several warranty items need taken care of. the dealers have all fallen short, but...
