    Does yours RV have a propane grill connection?

    After having our unit for almost 2 years we just discovered that we have a propane line off to the side of our steps to run a propane grill or whatever. Does yours have this?

    Awning Recpt?

    There is a switch in the cabinet by the door that says this. Anyone know what this is for? It's not to open or close the awning, there's a separate switch for that. Confused!!!!

    Gap in door...

    The bottom of our screen door has a fairly good sized gap along the entire bottom. Just noticed it as today was the first time we didn't need the a/c on. Shouldn't there be some sort of weatherstripping down there?

    Recliners

    I will just never understand why RV manufacturers do not put wall hugging recliners in the units when there is such limited space. Just sayin...

    Slits in window frames

    We have been getting these tiny annoying little bugs around some of our windows and they are just easily finding their way inside so I started inspecting things. There are small slits in the bottom of some windows which are open to the outside and I watched as a few just came right in. As a...

    Plug in pest controllers

    Not sure where to post this one but we were looking into one of these pest control devices that plug in...are they safe to use in an RV? Does anyone have experience in using them or any other info that may be important. Thanks so much.

    Cat scratching love seat in RV

    We are full-timing and are at our wits end. Our cat loves the front and sides of the love seat. We have 2 scratching posts, 1 with sisal, 1 with carpet. Have put cat nip on them, tried the spray bottle when she scratches sofa and tried double sided tape. She just goes around that to find a...

    Solar landscape lights

    So we bought 5 outside solar lights to put around the patio area...3 days ago. They are in direct sunlight all day in AZ. Shouldn't they be charged already? It would be just my luck that I picked out 5 bad ones. Really, how long does it take before they work? Sigh...

    Securing electric awnings

    Has anyone come up with a way to secure electric awnings? Loved our manual awnings and the ease of securing them with de-flappers and a ratchet strap, but these electric ones are driving me nuts.

    Sound not working

    We have just had our Elkridge since the end of January and our tv is already on the blink. NO VOLUME... It is not a Jensen, it is a Sony...why? I have no idea why ours is different from everyone elses but it is. Is this covered under warranty? We want to go and just buy a new one and I'm...

    Was unhappy, now optimistic

    First, let me start by saying HL is a great company. Thank you Ian! Got in touch with the GM at our dealership, sent pics of both the Jensen install and fireplace repair, which is a story in its self and filled him in on what we have been thru with Service. He got right on top of it after...

    Unhappy...

    Posted on the Elkridge (ask the factory) forum, gave all pertinent info they requested and a detailed history of what we have been through since Jan with our Jenson unit. As of yet, Heartland has not even acknowledged my concerns... nothing. What does it take to get someone there to contact you?

    ATF: ElkRidge - Jensen CD/DVD/Stereo

    Where do I start? When we initially purchased this "leftover" 2011 Elkridge this past January, we noticed there was an open space below the one with the cabinet door next to the tv and bundled up were a lot of stereo type wires but no Jensen unit. Instead a cheap looking DVD player was in its...

    Calgon?

    I have heard from a few people who use Calgon water softner in their tanks. They say it keeps the sensors clean? Just pour down toilet and into your sinks. Anyone have any feedback on this? It does make a bit of sense though.

    A/C for bedroom

    In a fifth wheel is it better to get a low profile a/c unit instead of the normal height one for the bedroom area? There is about a 3 inch height difference between the 2. What does everyone else have out there?

    Bedroom Lighting

    Why are there closed threads on here? These are real concerns from customers and frankly I am especially interested in the one about the lighting (bedroom).

    Closet Doors

    There has got to be something better and safer for owners than those sharp and easily breakable plastic things that are being used. I cannnot tell you how many times I have scratched my arms up, and sometimes badly, going in and out of the closet getting something from the floor. Every single...

    Question on brakes

    Does anyone know if the Elkridge has disc or electric brakes? Our 2011 does not seem to stop our rig when we do the "pull test" after hitching up. Our old one, which was another brand, stopped on a dime when we did it. How can you tell the difference between disc and electric? It catches but...

    Got a new camping buddy...

    Just bought a 14 week old Cavalier King Charles spaniel. I sure hope this breed loves the outdoors like hiking and going fishing with us. Our 2 little chihuahuas would much rather be inside :( My hubby has been really missing our mini poodle that we had to put down a few years ago due to...

    Opening windows

    It seems that some of our windows are extremely difficult to open. I am wondering if we can put some sort of lubricant in there to help with this. Maybe rub a little vaseline in there? We live in a very dusty area...the Arizona desert so maybe this can be the problem, I don't know. Any...

    Should we ask for a new recliner?

    We noticed that on one of recliners that the handle was kinda loose and the wood on it was scraped...maybe from the slide hitting it. Called dealer upon noticing it when we brought it home but haven't taken it in yet for any warranty work. Would you demand a new recliner? I hate being so nit...

    Loving our new Elkridge

    We are currently at Terribles Lakeside RV resort in Pahrump, NV and using our Elkridge for the first time. Everything so far has been flawless except the fireplace is not working due to a part that is needed and on order....oh well. We were delighted and surprised to see 3 more Elkridges in...

    The time has finally come

    It seems like a year and a day since we started this whole process of buying our Elkridge...really only about 3 weeks or so, but we are finally picking it up from our dealer tomorrow morning. They had to order and replace a knob on the fireplace which they are doing today. Can't wait to get it...

    Officially a Heartland owner

    Well the PDI went wonderful and it is now ours. We were nothing less than exhausted by the end of the day after moving all our things from one to the other, but I love it and it looks beautiful. We just locked it up and left it at the dealership until we pick it up right before our...

    PDI tomorrow...feeling happy/excited and sad too...

    Well tomorrow is the day and we are certainly excited about the new Elkridge but feeling sad about giving up our current unit which has been trouble free and has given us many good memories. I know we will make many more memories in the new one but its always sad saying goodbye to the old...

    Hubby is ready to walk away from deal....

    They always say that your purchase is only as good as the treatment you receive from your dealer and right now we are not thrilled with ours and we haven't even taken delivery yet. When we went through the "Standard Equipment" sheet for our particular fiver, we noticed that it had a AM/FM/CD...

    It's a done deal....

    Our fiver arrived this morning and we just got back from viewing it. We have committed to purchase it so now all we have to do is wait for the service dept to contact us for the PDI. One thing I noticed was on the standard equipment sheet for that unit we are supposed to have an AM/FM/cd...

    Getting impatient....

    Wondering if our "new" 2011 Elk Ridge has been transferred here yet for us to actually see it. Our final decision to buy depends on if we love it. My main concern is the amount of and depth of the inside storage areas. I doesn't really look like the pantry is as big as what we have now, so I...

    50...30...and 15 amp question

    Being we have never owned a 50 amp unit I have a question about using all these adaptors. Can I still keep and use my 30amp extension cord with the proper adaptor when 50 amp is not available? Also when plugging in at home (15 amp) to cool the frig before a trip. I need to use the extension...

    New to forum

    Hi all...we are going to be owners of the 2011 ElkRidge 34RLSA soon. Love the double rear slide and homey feeling. It will be so much more pleasant spending longer amounts of time in this one than our current one. I am hoping to share our experiences with everyone and maybe get some much...
