The 180 doesn't have the built in scale so all of those models start out at a lower price. The ones with the scale all come with both the 2" and 2 5/8" ball so same capability as the 180, but you swap the balls instead of flipping it over. It also gives more ground clearance.

Hey guys, just a deal for anyone interested. Over in the FTE (Ford Truck Enthusiasts) 2017 section, the guys have been accessorizing up a storm. The hot ticket for the new 3" receiver on the Ford, is the Weigh Safe adjustable hitch. They've been around for a long time doing 2" and 2.5"...

Maybe posting the instructions would be helpful to people who want to do the same in the future...

Yes, it happens when it's colder. Hydraulic fluid is thicker when it's colder making the pump draw more amps.

For sale is my mint, like new, 2013 Road Warrior 30C. It has the Titanium front end cap first designed by Glendale RV which Heartland now owns the patent to. This allows the towing package to be shorter behind the tow vehicle and allow the trailer to work with a short bed truck without the...

While I agree with all points made, certain people just go above and beyond. When I was shopping for my trailer, Mike answered my numerous questions by email within minutes for weeks as I was considering options on my order. (Once at 6 AM while waiting for a flight in an airport in FL after an...

Right. Like I said in the original post.

Mike was the same for Cyclone and Road Warrior. I wouldn't have bought my RV without his help.

Went to contact an online Heartland "friend" through his Heartland email address and never heard back. Figured maybe he was on vacation but out of curiosity I Googled his name. I quickly found an industry article announcing that he has left Heartland and is now the head of Jayco's toyhauler...

The only trouble I ever had was heading into the mountains when it was about 97 out. Between the altitude change and the turbulence at the air intake, the genset stalled. Found it off when we took a break. Adjusted the carb, restarted, and was fine the rest of the trip in. If I knew when I...

Close to 3k pin weight with the garage empty so my truck appreciates the break when I lighten it up a bit, LOL. Garage is rated to take 2k and I'm right around that. I just use ratchet straps through the front and rear wheels to secure the Spyder.

If you think that's tight, you should see my 10 garage with a Spyder RTS-SE on one side and my Road King on the other. Gives my wife a bit of a pucker to see it but nothing rubs...

We too use ours on the road a couple of hours before arriving on hot days. Never a problem.

I had ours balanced as well. Three were very far off and the fourth was crazy off. All zeroed though. Agreed that is is a good idea! Congrats on the new rig!

Then they are indeed the same rims that come with the blowmax load range E tires. Same ones my rig came with. I upgraded to G614's on the stock rims.

The rims in your picture are the standard rims they all come with. Unless they are the same rims as usual only wider??

I'm just waiting for the slam baggage version so I can eliminate one more key from the ring... ;)

The Michelin XPS Ribs are a bit under rated for your two 7k axles and 16k GVWR but you'll probably be fine. They will be better than the Towmax junk for sure...

There are LOTS of dealers who will order a unit at 25-30% off. We ordered our last two trailers and got 27-28% off from our local dealers after negotiating and showing them what the big dealers in OH and IN were willing to do. (30+% on an ordered rig.) It's not fun for everyone to play the game...

X2 on changing the tires IMMEDIATELY after purchase. The Towmax tires that came with it (unless it was optioned with the Goodyear G614's from the factory) are complete garbage and the forums are full of stories of "new" correctly loaded and pressured tires coming apart very soon after purchase...

It is a myth that you need to fill out the cards and mail them in for warranty coverage to be in effect on RV items or anything you buy. They just want you to fill the cards to get your info in case of a recall. When something fails, the broken item will have it's serial number on it when...

We put one inside the closet on the left side. Agreed, there isn't any space for folded items.

To all those who say they need to file the opening. I just installed my V4. I see why everyone thinks they need to file it. The fit is very close and it would appear that there is no way it would fit without enlarging the opening. However, the openings on our doors are industry standard and do...

Heartland usually lists dry pin weight right on their website for all their brands. Strange your 3100 isn't listed as most other models are but then again, I'm not surprised. Heartland does a really poor job with their website for such a large company. There are many errors and exclusions so you...

Yes, the CanAm does have reverse. As for choice we have both. The wife likes the CanAm better both as rider and passenger. I like the bike better. But since there are two of us, it's fun to have one of each. Keeps it interesting. To the OP, no thoughts on backing it in?

I know this thread has been cold for two weeks, but thought I'd share this with the OP anyway. Dry pin weights aren't always way under the real weight. My RW 30C had a dry listed weight of 2900. That's before any options or gear in the trailer. Well, with both propane tanks full, a second AC in...

We can fit our RT-S SE5 in our 10 foot garage with tons of room to spare. Enough that I can squeeze in my Road King next to it and back a bit. That said, with the rear bath costing you some width up front, you should have no problem fitting if you backed it in.

If my truck was ready to be replaced, Ram's air suspension would be a major deciding factor in my buying one over the other two brands. I think it's a fantastic idea that the other two brands will need to implement to keep competitive. If you are ordering a new truck, I'd certainly go for...

We've got 2k in the garage with either the road bikes or the two quads so if your math is right, I'm thinking 800 lbs off the pin loaded. Seems about right and yes, about as squirrely as our 36' TT (when garage is loaded) that we replaced. Maybe I'm just used to it.

Yes, I was VERY surprised considering it's against the norm, the nose has a huge overhang, and I've added so much weight to the front of the rig. How much weight to you think my garage loading takes off the pin? I know on your new WB you thought 1000 subtracted 600. How about on the original...

OK Tony, got er done. Posted a few pics of my scale setup. Wasn't pretty but got the job done. Weight with tanks and garage empty was a meager 2825lbs! I always read that manufacturer posted dry weights we very low as they didn't take into account any options. Well, with my second ac, 5500 Onan...

The lowest shipped prices we could find on any given model was http://www.adventurerv.net/ Give them a shot.

Good info as always Tony. Thanks. Will let you know when I do the weigh in...

Hey Tony, I see you mentioned 8D batteries. I'm still on my cheapo Interstate group 24 that came with the rig paired with my extra cheapo Walmart special group 24 from my last rig. They are tired but last the night with the heat on and have enough juice to start the gen in the morning. It's only...

Thanks James. One last question. If I order a V4 lock and a standard mechanical lock for my second door, can I have all 4 cylinders keyed the same?

I had a feeling that was going to be the fun part...

Just ordered my 5k gauge from the place cjackg posted. They told me it would work with my existing scale. Can't wait to see the results. Thanks again for the link....

Will find out soon Tony. I'm going to call Sherline tomorrow morning and see if my guess is correct and that the scales are the same and just the dial is different. If so, I'll order an new dial for mine and report the results. Not sure if I'll be that far off from you but sure hope so. I figure...

It's not just about how hot it is, it's about how quickly it cools. We added a second this spring for just this reason. Living and camping mostly in New England, the main ac would have been fine if started when cool in the morning. However, when starting when the rig is already is hot, the main...

I still have my 2k model from when I had my TT. Guess I'll need to order the 5k one now. Kind of frightened to find out the answer after seeing Tony's weight... Ugh... Actually in looking at the link posted by Cjackg, it would appear that I can just order a replacement gauge for my existing...
