If you share a photo we can help you more but there are only a few common brands. Most of the "connector" type installs I've seen are Zamp and look like the below photo: If that's yours, you can get kits from Zamp directly to add the panels. If not just share more what you have.

I won't say these are the BEST, but we went with the Solera and they're holding up OK. One of them has a 9" length of edge piping pulling out. But if it's a data point for you, we went with these because they were an easy self-install and you can buy them in any length on Amazon. In 2021 dollars...

I've had a similar experience, I was told they would balance them for a fee (same as for a car) but unless I requested it, by default they didn't balance trailer tires... That's why I wondered why folks always talk about it. I can totally understand if you have pets riding back there, but we've...

Just curious, how do you folks get a sense of balance issues/quality in your trailers? It's very noticeable in a truck's wheel but I've never really paid much attention to my trailers. Is it more of a vibration at certain speeds like in a vehicle or something else?

It depends how it was wired. Mine only runs my fridge but yours may be different... You could also have a bad transfer switch. They're just relays inside, usually rated for millions of cycles but they're mechanical so they can go bad sometimes...

That looks like this: https://www.lippert.com/5in-touch-panel-assembly-kit-for-onecontrol-406345 This is described as the LCI "MyRV" 406345 if it helps your research. A quick Google search turned up some newer versions with more buttons so I assume they had some later releases. There are no...

Figuring out what switches control on used coaches can be really challenging. You might contact Heartland with your VIN, but it sure looks like a light switch if you want to poke around more. A trick I use when buying a camper used is to turn on EVERY switch, and then walk around looking...

LOL compromise. I wanted a medium size travel trailer. My wife wanted a fifth wheel. So we compromised on a fifth wheel.

I don't have a full answer for you but our Milestone came with the Winegard antenna but it wasn't fully ready for use. There are two Winegard lines, one is the main antenna originally designed to pull in TV signals better, and then there's an advanced Air+Gateway option where the antenna has an...

These Reolink's have an extra feature like the Eufy S340 we use (a very similar competitor) folks may want to know. They have motion tracking. When a person is detected, the camera will rotate to face (and follow) that person. I don't have any stats to back this up... but my feeling is a camera...

I have the Lippert Tire LINC kit and those worked on my stems on my Milestone 386BH. YMMV - I don't know if the stem lengths and angles vary between models. I don't necessarily RECOMMEND the product. :) I find the mobile app very frustrating to use and not very reliable. But they fit and read...

Sorry, we won't be attending because my wife has a trip planned and I'll be working on a homestead site we have here in CO. Our Milestone will be at that site and we won't want to haul it out, this year anyway. But if the timing works out, I may be able to drop by and say hello to some folks...

Suggestion: I think your Contact link is incomplete. You might want to edit the post. It should be https://heartlandowners.org/conversations/add?to=Heartland RV Marketing no? (The forum's mini-WYSIWYG editor messes with your link depending on how you paste it.) For what it's worth. GotG...

We've had a Starlink for 2 years, one of the early adopters. It has pros and cons. It's congestion-sensitive so if there are a dozen Starlink users in your same service "hex" (which I think is like 13mi wide or so...) you'll lose bandwidth. And it's very expensive. The home plans cost like $120...

I just found another use for a jump pack BTW. I recently replaced my camper batteries with lithiums (plus solar). I'm sure you all know they have built-in management features like cutting off charging if they go below freezing since that ruins them. Well apparently the BMS in the battery I...

I don't understand the purpose of this post. Those of us participating here are Heartland owners. We don't have anything to do with how things are made, nor any power to change it. And it doesn't help your case to sneer at folks who are trying to respond in some helpful way the best they can...

If y'all want a modern improvement on the usual hassle, lithium "jump packs" are really cheap these days on Amazon and are a lot easier. Most are like $60-$80, only need to be recharged/topped up once a year, and store very small compared to jumper cables. I haven't used one to operate my...

Perhaps there's been a sea change. I was contacted directly to talk some of these details through. I don't want to say more because it's an in-progress conversation, but I think it's at least positive to see some engagement there.

In addition to space considerations, don't forget cabling. Electrical devices don't "use" volts, they "use" watts (power). P+E*I which is why 120V at 10A is 1200W and 12V at 100A is also 1200W. Flipping that around that means if you need to get 1200W out of a system (typical microwave) you'd...

I mean... it's kind of a bad look, not even replying to THIS thread, of all places. I did go ahead and post a review (I had a few minutes between calls) and got a boilerplate response that they were sorry I had a bad experience, and to please call customer service (as if I hadn't already been...

Look on the frame rail right near the tongue/hitch. It should be a few inches away from where the two rails come together into the tongue assembly. It's often not super noticeable because they usually get covered with road grime and rust. It may be either stamped/embossed right into the rail, or...

Where exactly is this along the underbelly? What is it close to? Standard trailer wiring has brown as the "running lights" and white or yellow is usually the ground. But there's no guarantee at all that this follows it. You'd have to trace it. Actually, signal tracers are pretty cheap on Amazon...

Looks like a standard 12V SAE power port. Given its location you should be able to follow the wires behind it pretty easily and I'd bet they're black/red and go to your battery, possibly through a fuse or breaker (ideally). I've never seen one factory-installed so perhaps it was a dealer add-on...

Positive thoughts on what? On this forum? I think we all value it and are glad it's here. But on Heartland itself, if you actually read the posts here I think you'll find the general consensus is NOT positive. There's a general lack of quality especially in recent years, and I have a 1-hour long...

For the receptacle, no need to be pedantic about the words but just by tradition in 120v-land, a receptacle/outlet/socket is a power output/supply and a plug is an input. What I was confused about is whether you wanted to add an additional, external power supply from something like a generator...

OK, so you'd probably do well to go watch a ton of videos on Youtube by "Will Prowse" because he goes through situations like this and all the math in great depth... You included a ton of detail, which is great, but left out the most critical one: your AC size. The BTU/hr rating on it gives you...

There's no color standard for this kind of thing. E-brakes are usually blue but even that's not a hard rule. It's obviously 12V power to something, but you'd have to trace the wire to find it. It could be an optional accessory that you just don't have installed. If you have an under-belly area...

I honestly doubt they even have them. They dance around this issue every time somebody contacts them, and I've come to believe they slap them together so fast now they don't even make diagrams. The way my Milestone was wired it seems like they just ran wires any which way they needed, with no...

Have you considered that taking a dead dog there would IMPROVE their service?

Pull out (remove) the bottom drawers in your kitchen counters. My controller was under one of them in a previous camper.

It also depends when and where you want to use it. I have 1200W on the roof of our Milestone and that meets our needs for just about everything except A/C. But for perspective, I just got back from a week-long trip with my truck camper in the mountains of Colorado. It has 400W on the roof and a...

Wow, an insanely good deal. It's like $1800 elsewhere, at least. Thanks for sharing.

This is an owner's forum, not a manufacturer's one. If you don't get the response you want it's because you're writing all caps and it's considered rude, not because anybody disagrees with you about the quality. take a few minutes and go through other threads here. About every 10th thread is...

I used it on a Schwintek a lot but never on a pulley... but these products are all pretty similar. What's important is that they are a "dry lube". Anything sticky or that leaves a residue will collect dust and dirt over time and become an abrasive in the system. You also don't want something...

Stated length limits aside, it depends what parks you want to go to. We live near RMNP and camp at Moraine Campground almost every year and I don't think you'd fit even a 36' rig in any of them. They just aren't deep enough, and the corners are too tight. The longest camper we ever fit in there...

You can download it from the Thingiverse link above. If you have a 3D printer at home you can use it to make test parts to verify fitment. But if you plan to make one for permanent use, I do recommend using CraftCloud3D or one of the other online printing services and having it printed in a...

Boom and bust. When COVID hit demand for RVs skyrocketed because everybody wanted to vacation "away from other people" and places like Disney were closed anyway. But factories couldn't keep up and had staffing issues on top of it so they produced even worse garbage than usual. Now there's a glut...

You might also like the book "The Next Exit". It's updated yearly and focuses on just doing one thing well - if you're on a major highway, telling you what's off upcoming exits that are easy to transit with an RV. I don't use it any longer, but I appreciated it when I did.

Same thing with our Milestone 386BH by the way. We actually love our Milestone. But there's no doubt it's made of tissue paper and unfounded optimism.

It was my "trucker" relative who recommended this one. I think peoples's needs may vary. A trailer sitting in a fenced yard or secure storage facility doesn't face the same risks as if you had to park it somewhere not monitored very well, such as if you're boondocking. This is a disc-detainer...
