    DIY Freeze Proofing / Insulating / Heat Strips / Sensors / Refrigerator

    I have a [2017] Pioneer RK280. I want to spend a week or two only in NYC in December. The temps may get below freezing. Since it will only be a short time, I do not want to deal with a skirt or anything like that -- my research shows lots of problems. DOES ANYONE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS...

    How and Should I fix/upgrade my TT brakes?

    So it's been over a month I think, as my mechanic tries to get new drums for my 2017 Heartland Pioneer 280RK with 4400 pound axles. I thought he was ordering from Dexter, but I later found he was ordering after market to save me money. He then tried Dexter, but they don't have any and are...

    Trailer Brakes Weakening

    So I have this feeling that my trailer brakes aren't as strong 12 months after I first bought this used Heartland Pioneer, at which time I had the brakes checked by my own mechanic. I could be mistaken about this feeling. They never locked up on asphalt, but I have this feeling for the jerk...

    Antifreeze vs Near-Empty for Winter Storage

    My Travel Trailer is stored in my driveway, in the foothills north of Atlanta. Right now, my fresh tank, water heater, cabin floor and cabinet tubing, toilet and faucets are substantially filled with Antifreeze. That should be fine for 25degF weather we're having at night now. HOWEVER, a...

    If pex freezes, is damage permanent?

    I'll try to prevent my low point drains from freezing, by either keeping dry or adding a skirt or other means. But if the DO happen to freeze, is that damage to the pex pipe or value permanent or is it only a temporary problem? Same question for the general underbelly, hopefully somewhat...

    How to remove front cover of WFCO Distribution Center

    I have a 2018 Heartland Pioneer PI RK 280 travel trailer with a WF-8900 series WFCO Power Center (breaker/fuse box). I need to inspect/change DC branch circuits reaching this box. The front cover removal isn't visually obvious. I'd rather not assume something snaps, but then break it. Any...

    Where might short circuit be?

    I have a 2018 Heartland Pioneer PI RK 280 travel trailer. It appears that I have a WFCO Power Center (breaker/fuse box). I have an advanced degree in Electrical Engineering and I built my own house, including residential electrical. So I do know what I'm doing. Yesterday, a Power Center LED...

    Confused by black tank flush

    With an empty, relatively clean black tank, when I leave the dump valve closed and run water into the flush port, it takes 2 or 3 minutes for the black tank to fill to the 1/3rd level. During this time, when I shine a flashlight down through the held-open toilet valve, I can NOT see any water...
