TandT, I agree 100%. Why is it that the caulking they used needs to be checked so frequently? I understand I wouldn't by my unit if it cost 100K so they need to keep the cost down, but if I knew how they kept the cost down I wouldn't own it at all. I have a freind who has a Aruba (2005) model...

I am having delaminating issues with my 2010 Elk Ridge. Heartland said it's because I didn't properly caulk the windows every few months to prevent the water damage. I contacted the window manufacturer and they told me they did not recommend caulking the windows as they had a rubber gasket that...

Got it this time. Thanks for the information. I thought those were simply buss bars that are commonly used to connect wires. I would have never guessed they were breakers. I guess the breaker will have an amp rating on it that I can test to see if the battery is drawing too much power or if the...

Thanks for the reply. The battery is about 10 feet away from the breakers and fuses. I will trace the wire back from the battery and find the breaker for the converter. This is the second time it has tripped, but it's only the second time I have checked it also. The link you added for the...

I am having the issue with my 2010 Elk Ridge also. I am not getting voltage from the converter to charge the batteries. I had the unit in the shop about a month ago and they said they had to remove the battery to reset the breaker. I looked at the battery and I can see the entire wire to where...

If heat and humidity caused the delamination it can't possibly be your fault. And if you had to recaulk an area 2-3 times in a couple of years something is terribly wrong.

I've had a few different areas de-laminate on my 2010 Elk Ridge. I was told it was because I did not do proper maintenance and re-seal the caulk joints. Of course they could tell this over the phone.

My local service center did send Heartland an e-mail stating what I told you. Still nothing. That's O.K. I am the customer. They will never get any more of my money! I am getting ready to buy a new camper and I assure you it won't be a Heartland. I can and will repair the damage that has...

I always looked after my camper. If there were bad caulking areas I would have noticed them. Besides I have contacted the window manufacturer and they told me those windows did not need to be caulked if they were properly installed. My windows have rubber gaskets around them and somewhere around...

I have a 2010 Eagle Ridge that has many bubbles in the laminated siding. After contacting Heartland all I get is a very generic "improper maintenance no coverage" They actually told me it should be re-caulked every year. I may be trading it for a smaller Aruba fifth wheel that is 5 years older...

we have a 2010 eagle ridge mod. 35dsrl. VIN-5SFSG3825AE205665. What brand of windows were installed in the unit and maybe even a model number? How about an installation guide also.Thanks

My Eagle Ridge had the same problem. I tried everything and had exactly the same issues and tried the same solutions as everyone else here. I had the entire frame and door assembly for the storage/udc area removed and re-sealed properly. I have not had an issue since. There was no visible signs...

No problem. Good luck

There is a KOA about 10-15 miles from the Bay bridge in Severn or Gambrills. It is on the Annapolis side of the bridge just off of 301 and 97.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll try and glue in a hardwood dowel and re-try the lag bolts. I'll also have to waterproof the openings that were drilled through the fiberglass coating so the wood doesn't get wet and swell.

Ray, and danemayer thanks for the posts. Ray, you got it correct. The upper arm was binding when it was supposed to be loose. Now the question is what is the best repair for the stripped out holes the lag bols were screwed into. The dealer I took it to for bolt the bracket to the aluminum, and...

I have a Sunchaser II by Dometic according to the paperwork I received with the camper. It features new sunchaser II 8275000 Series hardware. I need an installation manual to see why this thing keeps bending the bracket. My guess is that it was not installed correctly (misaligned). I don't mind...

My right side awning bracket is bent again. The dealer said he replaced the bracket last month and the first time I opened it to clean it the new bracket bent up exactly like the old one. I did notice that the arms would not line up correctly when the awning was retracted so I am thinking it...

Thats what baffled me. No error indicated on the refrigerator. It was running on gas so I thought the 120v had nothing to do with it. But I can tell you I have never had any issues with the refrigerator before. Also after I connected the extension cord we keep it plugged into it worked fine. I...

Thanks for the reply. Even with the generator running I still had the refrigerator on gas because it always has cooled better on gas than electric. I'll try it again tomorrow, but it just seemed odd that it was struggling while on the generator and then seemed to run much better when hooked to...

I have a 5500 watt generator that I use when no electric is available and we need ac. My son has weekend baseball tournaments every weekend in July. Yesterday I ran the generator for a couple of hours to test everything out and the refrigerator seemed to have issues. The freezer was frosting...

I have a 2010 and they told me it was maintenance issues that allowed the problem to appear. I'm not sure how they knew this over the phone, but they did. Hopefully you will have better luck.

Thanks for the info. I can use those numbers to size my system.

Thanks for the quick replies. I guess the thing to do is add up all the loads, and then size the panel and controller. And then see about reducing the load with the led lights. When you look at what they are you really see how innefficient they are.

I am working on a project to make a mobile solar power station for our RV's. I am going to size the load to run all the 12v. loads in the RV, and charge a dual battery setup during the day to power the loads at night. I need the following information to complete the load analysis. 1. The wattage...

Can anyone tell me the model number of the inverter that is in my camper?

Thanks for the reply. We went through that park when we were visiting last summer and it lookeed very nice. Some others in the area were kind of nasty. We stayed with some friends in Bloomsburg and went to Knoebels and the LLWS in Williamsport. Great experience. What other sights would you...

Pennsylvania.

We went to Knoebels this summer and the kids and I loved it. We looked at a couple of campgrounds near there and were wondering if anyone here had any advice. The one we initially liked was J and D I believe. Does anyone have any preferences in the area? It will be for next year. It was in...

We also have a bad speaker. Went bad the first year. I am going to call crutchfield to try and find a replacement. They are electronics people with a lot of knowlege.

Mine is coming apart at the innermost end of the slide. I noticed it when I spotted the dirt mark made on the carpet inside the camper from the bare wood sliding against the carpet. I will try and run the slide in a bit to see if I can easily get to the inside part of the bottom of the slide...

It's called vinyl coated aluminum fascia. My question is how do you keep the end that goes into the camper from catching the carpet and getting snagged when you run the slide in?

Thanks for the info

I tried to search and only came up with this thread. I know there was discussion about this before, but can't figure out how to search for it

On our 35DSRL I just noticed that under the slide the bottom cover is coming apart. It looks like the plyboard that had some type of coating on it has lost the coating. Has anyone seen this before, and what were you able to do about it? It actually has marked the carpet on the inside of the rig...

I have a 2007 Silverado 2500HD Diesel. On the door it shows tire pressures of 80lbs. for the rear and 55lbs. for the front tires. A mechanic added air to the front to make it 80psi. Should the front be 55? or is he right, because the tire sais 80 on it.

Were booked. Site 71

Thanks Ray, I know what you mean about user UN friendly. The manuals are also very confusing to read.

Where do the wires from the dvd player hook up to the tv. I have a 3 (R,Y,W) rca cable and the 2 (R,W) rca cable from the dvd player and can't figure out where to hook them to the tv. also how do you play the tv through the dvd player? I have done it before but can't remember how to set up the...

I made the same modification to mine and it does help the airflow. It does not however increase the BTU output of the AC. That modification worked very nicely, and will probably solve some of the AC problems. But if the issue is not enough BTU's then it really isn't solving anything.
