    Compatible Cameras for a Ford

    My F350 has a backup camera option and I think the camera on the tail gate is simply a standard color camera. Has anyone installed an after market camera on the back of the tailer and connected to the Ford cable on the tailgate for use during towing? I checked with Ford and they want $400 for...

    When making a sharp turn the seven pin cable becomes too tight and will either damage the tailgate or snap the cable. The dealer tells me that this is not a warranty item and it will cost approx. $75.00 to install a longer cable that would allow sharp turns. My question is to Heartland: is this...

Either the sub-woofer is missing or it is not connected...

    I traded my motor home, Tiffin Phaeton, for a Landmark at Camping World. When something fails, like the ballast in my lights, and I could fix it myself because unhooking and suffering the expense to go to the dealer for repair is unrealistic; Heartland refuses to send me a replacement part until...
