    Cracked Shower Dome

    I just removed the interior cover over the shower and found five cracks. The cracks line up with screw heads. I think the assembler over tightened the exterior screws splitting the dome. I think I should take a picture of the problem and see if Heartland will send me a replacement exterior...

    Cracked Shower Dome

    Thanks for the information. I had given some thought to doing it the way you suggested. I suppose hail could crack the exterior dome and explain the crack, but I would expect more problems if the hail was that large. I'll probably do what you suggested to at least get me through future rains...

    Cracked Shower Dome

    I have a 2010 NC 29RKS and I noticed a leak during a recent rain. Upon inspecting the dome on the roof this morning I found a large hairline crack from near the top of the dome running to the flange. I have no idea of how it became cracked. I had noticed a leak a year earlier and added some...

    Satellite to do or no to do?

    //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/12913-Satellite-TV-Ext-Cable-Inlet The link doesn't work but look in the North Country Forum for an idea that will require no holes.

    Battery smoking hot!

    When you say you have your battery plugged into 110 constantly, do you mean that you have the trailer electrical system plugged into 30 or 50 amp service constantly? If so, then the converter could also be involved. If you are indicating that you have a trickle charger between 110 volt outlet...

    Paradise Park, McAllen Tx

    It's time to head north after almost three months in Paradise Park, McAllen Tx. It was our first experience at living for three months in a travel trailer, in our case a North Country 29RKS LS. The North Country survived us and we survived in the North Country. Other than the shower stall...

    Shower pan leak

    Agree that you should recaulk the shower enclosure inside and outside. I also caulked where the shower panels meet the shower base. Where I found the problem was the screws that hold the shower enclosure to the shower stall and base. I removed each screw from the frame, filled each hole with...

    Maxx Fan or FanTastic Fan?

    The MaxxAir installation instructions are decent. It pays to review them before you start. Getting the fan unit installed over the existing vent requires patience, but goes fine if you get the unit centered and the hole marks in the existing vent marked correctly. I found it was necessary to...

    Maxx Fan or FanTastic Fan?

    I decided to buy the Maxx Air 1200T with thermostat. It has a three speed fan and works as an intake and exhaust fan. On high speed it uses four amps and 1.5 on low speed. The installation is simpler than the fantastic model, but I heard nothing bad about the fantastic models. I talked to...

    Maxx Fan or FanTastic Fan?

    I want to replace my bathroom vent fan with a premium fan that has a thermostat and variable speeds. The reason is that my travel trailer will be left in the extreme heat of south Texas and I want to have a fan that can expel some of the heat build up inside the trailer. If you have any advice...

    Bedroom Slide Out

    I recommend making your idea a separate thread. I like your idea. I'd like it if Heartland would identify what is behind the panels and in the case of the water supply lines a sticker showing how the valves should be position for operation and winterizing.

    Wheel chocks

    I made my wheel chocks. Google "redneck choks" and you will get several responses. If you have a 4X4 laying around and can round up a threaded rod and some nuts and washers your well on your way. Measure the closest distance between the tires and add an inch. Cut the 4X4's at 70 degree...
