    Where's the Quality Control at the Factory

    Robert, this is Tom, when and if, you have a problem with your NEW RV you don't come into a forum the public can read on Google and start bashing ALL HL products - that just ain't too smart is it ? Instead you call customer service. You used to own a buisiness didn't you ? Would you like it...

    Nabo, I will say a prayer for Butch and his family. I will do more if you desire. I worked in a lab with 5 others - 6 total. Dave got a brain tumor first and died. Bill was number two and lost his hearing in one ear. I was number three and I lost my sense of smell. 50% of the lab got...

    Surging, driving me nuts!

    Actually most pump makers DO NOT want you to put an accumulator with their pump and will not cover the warranty if you do. That being said, the surging drives me nuts too... Let me/us know how you solve this so I can do the same. I never thought they thought it wise to conserve water even...

    ATF: Sundance - Sundance trailer - Heat Damage to Outside Shower Door

    The OP has not responded to several valid questions. I have my doubts this was a factory install, more like a DIY adventure gone bad. I am not even sure it is a HL product, it could be SOB. If this is the case, why are these threads permitted to stay on this forum and bash HL products...

    Bedroom A/c noise on 3670 Bighorn

    I just installed a new Dometic Penguin II AC unit in my 3670RL BR because it has 32 new and improved changes. The first one listed is "QUIETER" so for this reason alone I bought it. My wife's cousin just installed the exact same AC unit in his Landmark. He lives about 20 miles north of me...

    what do you use to cover the scratches on cabinets?

    Re: what do you use to cover the scratchs on cabinets? We do what Cookie does. Works great for us too, takes about 10 seconds for most scratches. Takes 30 minutes to find the stain pencils. Furniture repair folks use these too... quick n easy. Happy RVing

    Dometic A/C won't turn on with remote or from unit

    Re: Domestic A/C won't turn on with remote or from unit Kelly, a few things ; 1). How many hours has this unit run and how old is it ? 2). What type of T-Stat do you have, digital or analog ? 3). If digital, are you getting any error codes on the T-Stat and is it lit (analog or digital...

    Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure?

    Re: Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure Good idea Kevin, I put in/out gauges on my "CUNO" brand (industrial type) filter which has a solid blue filter housing. I did this to help me know when to change the element... was hard to see a differential though, oh well. I...

    This why I always color code AND label each end. It's why I always insisted the crew working for me did the same. Don't be too hard on your friend I'm sure he feels bad enough. Remember, the only guys that don't make mistakes are the guys that don't do anything. It proves one more thing, you're...

    Re: ATF: Sundance - Sundance trailer is a fire hazard Does anyone else on the forum have a Sundance with the OS shower installed in this location ? I've been on web sites that have photos of Sundance RV's for sale and I have not found one. In fact, I don't see OS showers on these rigs. Could...

    Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure?

    Re: Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure Robert, Some excellent tips and ideas where brought out. I know I learned some things. However, in the end it is a matter of choice. For me, keeping the filters outside of my RV is one way to make sure I don't create a problem...

    Where's the Quality Control at the Factory

    I firmly believe the problems visiting HL products are ALSO common to other RV’s in the same price range. These problems do not go away until the selling price goes up. Quality and cost rise together, it is common knowledge, the reverse is also true. It is commonly known as “you get what...

    Onan Propane Instead Of Gas.........

    Since you have a brand new Onan you only have to do the basic checks (oil, leaks, etc.) the dealer should cover these with you when you take delivery. Then of course, scheduled proper maintenance as Onan dictates. I hope your Onan has an hour meter, if not, have one installed ASAP. Keep a...

    You're quite welcome, hope everything works out for you. If I may offer a few more suggestions : 1). Use your own DVOM, don't count on the regulators VOM. 2). "IF" you get another bad regulator from your OEM consider getting your money back and go somewhere else (i.e. Northern Tool)...

    Need Help, Solar not charging batteries

    Yes we are saying go with 1 battery (it simplifies everything). DVOM = Digital Volt Ohm Meter. Most or some DVOM's can read volts (E) and current (Amps or I). Test # 7 is checking amps; we'll get back to that so don't worry about it for now. The 19+ volts you are getting from the PV...

    Every poster is correct. What I am suggesting is, make it easy, one step at a time. Let's do 1 battery and get it working. Then we will bring in the second battery.

    Lighting Pilot light on oven

    Bob, do you have any info on the igniter you installed ? I have a 3670 RL, I'm a little paranoid about lighting a gas oven in a confined area (the sink cabinet blocks you in). I would feel safer standing and igniting instead of having a lit gas cloud expanding in front of my face. I've seen...

    Need Help, Solar not charging batteries

    In rereading your post, I believe you have the batteries connected in series, not parallel. This will mean 24 volts DC. I think they should be in parallel for 12 volts DC. Instead of using both batteries, try getting your system to work with one battery and get back.

    Need Help, Solar not charging batteries

    Was this a new install ? 1). Measure battery only volts, test with a resistance load if possible. This checks battery condition. A shorted cell will not charge. It will pull the whole system down to low volts 2). You need to take voltage measurements from the PV cells only (disconnect...

    Recessed Light Bulbs

    Fordman, this is just my opinion. HL puts so many fixtures in their/our units that I would not purchase just in case bulbs. Wait until they burn out and then do your search. Who knows, by the time you need them, technology may have zoomed to something even more high tech... or the price...
