    Absolute Nightmare

    How long did it sit between bringing it home and getting ready for your trip? Word to the wise, don't ever just leave it sit without checking on it from time to time. I hope they get this taken care of. Sounds pretty bad...

    Full time RV is your home

    We have our DL's in South Dakota. They have been real ID compliant since 2020. We have been through tsa numerous times without issue. I believe they get by with it by requiring extra documentation. I will provide a link. Unfortunately your state is just as eager to pin everyone down as the feds...

    Thank you, that answered my question.

    Slide roof

    That is what I am in the process of doing now.

    Slide roof

    I am not sure. From what I read the tan roof on mine is a different material than the slides that are white.

    Slide roof

    Does anyone know what they put on the slide roofs? I am guessing TPO but want some other opinions or facts.

    Banking

    We have been full-timing for the last 7 years. Today I received a notice from Wells Fargo stating they are going to close our accounts because they do not recognize our SD mailbox service address. Has anyone had this happen? Do you have a bank that doesn't care about this?

    How and Should I fix/upgrade my TT brakes?

    Have you tried shopping local? Last bearing issue I had ruined the spindle so we put new axles in. We had them made at a local shop. I didnt have to concern myself with drums as I converted to disk brakes, but they had a whole pile of them. That was in Colorado.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    I appreciate your help with this. The 2nd and third breakers were reversed. The panel was correct. Took me about 3 minutes to put them in the correct position and so far so good. Thanks again!

    AC outlets not working

    That has happened to us a couple of times. You just have to find which outlet feeds the ones that are out and you most likely have a press in wire loose. I always replace them with a residential outlet at that point.

    toilet riser kit

    About 300 at camping world. Amazon has them too.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    I would like it to be that way except my readout is saying I am drawing about 36 amps on L-1 and only 3 on L-2. Also L-1 is showing 105v and L-2 is reading 118v.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    Its a Progressive dynamics power center Model PD55K000. If I am understanding you correctly, if the breakers are labeled correctly, what I could do is get a dual 20 amp and a dual 15 amp, run the wires accordingly and should then have an AC on each leg. If that is the case I can handle that just...

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    No they are both drawing about the same as yours, just on one leg. L-2 only has about a 3 amp draw on it.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    I want to make sure I understand you correctly before I try this. After the main 50 amp breaker, I have dual 15/20 breakers the rest of the way across.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    I will look into doing that. I was unaware that each ac needed to be on a different leg. We have been living in this rig for 6 years without issue. We did find out yesterday that it is an issue with the pedestal. It keeps dropping power and the hotter it gets outside the worse it gets. They have...

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    The park is not full at all but will be coming this weekend. Unfortunately we are at a dreaded buddy site park but currently do not have a neighbor sharing the pedestal. The awning side neighbor is not having power issues. There are a couple of huge MH's down the line from us, but 3 empty sites...

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    It seems that way. I have tried to understand why the factory wired it like that but I guess its above my pay grade.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    The 2 previous parks we were at to this one we had zero issues. I want to say it is a power issue here, but I am not ruling out the rig either. Appreciate the help.

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    We have everything else off but a couple of computer monitors. We have the dual fridge not the residential. Could one of the ac's be drawing to much power? We are averaging a 22 amp pull right now. When I turn the front ac on the L-1 voltage drops to 103 which is enough to shut the rig off I...

    Progressive 50 AMP SP

    Our surge protector is hardwired. It keeps shutting off the power and the readout is showing the E4 code. If I shut down one ac or the other, the power stays on. While I am waiting for them to come and check the pedestal, I got to wondering what the normal readouts should be as far as each leg...

    "length" vs "flexibility" with campsite restrictions

    Our rig is 44 ft long. While we have some issues getting into places, we also do some heavy research to make sure we fit. Our biggest problem is when an rv park says they have a site that will accommodate us, the parking for our pickup is very minimal. We stay in many state parks without issue...

    Extended stay resorts

    Most places have a better price for month long stays. Some do not as they are only open part of the year and can almost charge whatever they want. We use the rv trip wizard because it is attached to a rv park review website, and we get some good information from that including nightly price per...

    Level up

    The jacks are not leaking, it is the orange return hoses that are. I can replace myself, I just needed to know what end needs to be on them.

    Level up

    I need to replace a couple of lines for the Levelup system that are leaking badly. I cannot just take them off and run down to have new ones made. Does anyone know what type of ends need to be on the lines to connect properly? I know the psi needs to be 3k or higher as these are the crappy...

    50 to 80 amp breaker swap

    Very helpful. Thank you.

    50 to 80 amp breaker swap

    I am finally getting around to the swap due to the leveling stopping and starting 3-4 times when retracting, and the main slides stopping at least once when retracting. I have the new 80 amp breaker that Lippert recommended awhile back. I believe I also need to go with a bigger wire as well. My...

    Has anyone repaired or replaced a slideout ram cylinder?

    I replaced mine years ago. It is helpful to have assistance. Also, make sure to measure where your adjustment nuts are before you take it apart.

    Quality of workmanship by Heartland

    We have a 2017 and have had our share of issues. We count our blessings though compared to the problems many are having with new ones these days. Those same issues make us dread needing to replace our current rig. We have put about 8k a year on it for the last 6. Not sure how much longer it will...

    Heartland Owner's Club to Continue in 2022 and Beyond

    Once again, as proven time and time again, once the suits get a hold of something (logo change), it gets ruined. It is obvious that the folks making this decision have zero idea of what they are doing. Make it better for the club? Making things more difficult on the chapter leaders doesn't make...

    Why aren’t North Trails more popular???

    We see NT's almost every week. We see many more Mallards though and probably due to price point? We used to own a NT and you are right, it is a good rig to have. It is amazing how many HL owners have zero clue of the owners forum. Maybe that is the difference in the lower number of posts about them.

    Sailun Truck Tires????

    A friend of mine in N CO put those on his fleet of electrician trucks. Some of their miles are dirt and gravel roads and most of their rigs are 1 ton or heavier. None of those tires lasted a year. I am not sure how long they would last just doing highway miles. He went back to Michelin's.

    Springs

    Last we checked we were right at 13000 on the 2 7k axles. Total weight is 16500. We have lots of outside storage in the rear but have very little weight there. Heartland has been unable to tell us how much weight the rear storage can safely handle. While the living room to the front rides...

    Springs

    Thank you for the reply. I had the thought of doing this since we have so much riding behind the axles, but didn't think it was a wise decision. We have done about 14K miles every year for the last 4. It just seems like all that bouncing has wore out what we have.

    Springs

    Are you recommending I get 8k springs instead of the 7k?

    Springs

    I have 7K axles and the springs are flattened out. Is there a better option than Dexter replacements out there?
