Re: Water Heater Troubleshooting & Repair Guide is GONE!! Thanks for good info. I couldn't locate the check valve on the water heater output so I don't know if it is/is not working properly. Seems like it mst be since the LP mode keeps the water very hot. My rig has an Atwood water heater and...

Re: Water Heater Troubleshooting & Repair Guide is GONE!! Piggybacking on the "Why Removed?" question. Guide was usefful and informative. I am still trying to figure out why I can only get warm (not hot) water using the electric option. The LP heating option works fine and does provide hot...

Thanks - that is what I was looking for. I had done some searches on Amazon and only found bulbs that had 4000K (or higher) ratings. I will try these.

I recently changed out a few incandescent bulbs (921's and 1141's) with LED bulbs to see how the lighting would be affected. I installed "natural white" bulbs (color temperature 4000K-4500K) but feel that the light given off from the LEDs is much too cold. We prefer the softer lighting that the...

Re: No 12 volt power available when disconnected from shore power Great job Jerrod !!! -- and thanks to all those who offered help earlier today. People who respond to these "distress calls" are the greatest customer service group out there. Gotta love this forum. Gotta love Heartland.

Re: No 12 volt power available when disconnected from shore power Shore power off red on battery positive post - black on hot post of breaker - 12.57 volts red on battery positive post - black on output post of breaker - 12.57 volts black on battery neg post - red on hot post of breaker - 4.6...

Re: No 12 volt power available when disconnected from shore power Yes I was plugged in. I unplugged and checked voltages again - which are now zero.

Re: No 12 volt power available when disconnected from shore power Pulled 12volt panel. Checked voltage on the two large cables coming into the main breaker. Both the red cable (from battery mini breaker I think) and the black cable show fluctuating voltages between zero and 5 volts.

Re: No 12 volt power available when disconnected from shore power Yes, I do get 12 volts for both breaker posts when black is on neg post of battery.

Re: No 12 volt power available when disconnected from shore power Yeah - that's what I think too. I have pressed that breaker button as far in as I can, so I guess my next move will be to call Customer Service. Thanks for the help.

Re: No 12 volt power available when disconnected from shore power With black lead on negative battery post and red lead on hot side of circuit breaker I do get 12+ volts. With the red probe on hot side of breaker and black lead on output side (the non hot side) of breaker , I get zero voltage.

Re: No 12 volt power available when disconnected from shore power Confirmed that I am checking the correct breaker (thick wires on both posts, reset button on side). I get a zero reading however when checking either of the breaker posts. What should I conclude/do next in this situation...

Re: No 12 volt power available when disconnected from shore power I get a zero volt reading between the two posts on the mini breaker (after repressing the reset button too). Beginning to sound like it is a mini-breaker failure. Thoughts?

Re: No 12 volt power available when disconnected from shore power Thanks Jon - good to know. Does this sound like a battery issue to you? Seems like I should get some output (however weak) from a battery reading above 12v?

I have no 12 volt power when disconnected from shore power. Battery is reading 12.5V. I pressed the small battery reset button on the battery bus and that had no noticeable effect and did not correct the problem. When I turn off the 15 amp converter breaker in the power panel I immediately lose...

I think it is helpful to know where (i.e which RV shows) Heartland products can be seen. I also think the best way to share that info would be via this forum in a dedicated thread named "RV Shows with Heartland Products" (or something similar). Those of us who have an interest in knowing this...

System has power (red light in upper left is solid red) but nothing appears in the display window and nothing happens when buttons are pressed. Do I need to remove the unit and check something (???) or can the system be reset in some manner to restore functionality?

Bill - I do have a volt meter which I used to confirm the 120V at the pedestal. Next step was to turn off 50amp breaker in coach, then reset the pedestal breaker. Then I disconnected and reconnected the power cord to the coach. I then turned the 50 amp breaker to on and I now have power ...

First time I have had a 120 Volt outage and am not sure how to restore. Pedestal breaker at campground is working OK. I suspect power was lost from overload (tripped when starting the microwave while electric fireplace was operating). Main 50 amp breaker is not tripped (tried resetting it...

One thing for sure - the LT vs ST discussion is in no danger of ever going away or being "resolved" on this forum. My perspective is that tires are less likely to fail when: 1. The margin percentage of tire rating to rig load rating is as great as possible (basically meaning you should get...

Well, I guess I have exceeded my personal capabilities for resolving this - I have an appointment to complete warranty work so I will have this looked at by the pros at that time. My thanks to all who have responded with suggestions.

Thanks Dan - I'll try this and let you know how it turns out.

2012 Big Country 3450 TS has two rows of lights in ceiling and one switch for each row (labels read "kitchen" and "living") 1. Noticed that wall surface near switch felt warm but lights were working. Shortly thereafter neither switch would light. 2. Confirmed that fuze #2 in fuze panel...

Lance and Everyone, Due to an unplanned need to head out west this fall, we must regrettably cancel our reservations for the Waxhaw event. That's the bad news. The good news is that at least we will be RVing for an extended period as we traverse this big country in our Big Country. Hope to...

Being an old Navy goat, I'm looking forward to going to sea once again ... so .... sign us up Two for sure for the tour de jour !!

We're in - and are looking forward to seeing some familiar Heartlanders again - this will be our 2nd rally. Park pics look great! We're in site 53, arriving 10/31 leaving on 11/4. Not sure how we got an ADA site (53) -- I'm kind of thick headed at times but don't think that fits the criteria...

Hey Jim - you're still our hero - and I appreciate your transparency/candidness in this "oops" scenario. Bill

They're not for everyone - BUT - for the price, the negligible weight, the ease of handling/storing when not in use, these hoses work great for for me. If you are a heavy duty hose user, you would probably be happier with the conventional brass fitted hose for the long haul. I like my pocket...

Lance, Sign us (that is my wife) up for Chocolate Chip Cheese Cake. It will of course be calorie free except for the "few" calories included just for taste purposes. By the way Dave's list shows us as Bill and Bennie - should be Bill and Beannie. Our first rally - sounds like a lot of fun is...

Although I haven't got anything noteworthy to add, I do identify with this scenario. This happened to us on the very first day we took delivery of our Big Country and this snafu was part of a series of "now what do I do" issues that hit us that first night we set up. A friendly RVer in the...

We just purchased our Big Country (yeah) in NY and and camped for ten days (4 locations) as we brought it home to Georgia. After the first night sleeping in our BC, I detected moisture in the starboard side of the carpeted "basement" area but attributed it to a cooler we had stored that could...
