    Is it possible to get a drawing for a specific heartland camper (new model) to know where the wires are routed?

    They actually did send me all my drawings for BigHorn but it took three tries. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Not cooling very well.

    Gary - I just saw your more succinct version of what I said after you. The only difference for us was the bathroom vent. Our bathroom vent, with bedroom vents closed, provides a very large airflow. I tried closing it but that airflow didn't seem to transfer to LR vents. Think you just have to...

    Not cooling very well.

    We spend a great deal of our time in 90+ and sometimes 100+ weather. Not my favorites but that's where our friends and families live. We have a 2016 BH3575RL, two ACs with common supply and return plenums. We follow the previous recommended actions. This is assuming ACs are operating correctly...

    Hail on the roof - how do you tell it’s damaged?

    Our RV is insured with Progressive. The adjuster was out for some non-hail related damage and we were talking about hail damage since I had had some minor dings on the truck when in Elkhart last year. Anyway, he said it is always best to submit a claim on hail damage because they can be more...

    Loving my CheapHeat!

    Dave Tyler and I have installed three systems now. Hardest part is clearing interference. After that, Larry’s instructions are pretty good plus you can call him anytime. Short of boondocking, it’s worth every cent. Jim Beletti question - this last time, did you go stand alone version? If so...

    GFI won’t reset - camping now need help please

    BTW, another option for checking is to leave the GFCI in and remove one outlet at a time until the GFCI remains set. An assumption I made is that you removed anything connected to any of the outlets in the circuit. The ground fault can be anywhere in the wiring, outlets or any item connected...

    GFI won’t reset - camping now need help please

    It’s possible that there actually is a ground fault. It doesn’t require much current at all (4-5 mA) to trip the GFCI. With a minimal ground fault and without the GFCI in the circuit, your other outlets could appear to work fine. Here’s how to check: Turn off the electricity and disconnect...

    Goshen to Custer SD

    Here's the route we took a couple years ago along with the parks. The park in Iowa was right on the river and beautiful. There's an old mill just up the road through which most of the grain for the North in the Civil War passed. And there's the Corn Palace in Muscatine. The Rafter J is also a...

    Ann, Rick - We wanted to do that route. And then, we figured we'd skip WA and catch up in ID but that changed as well. DISAPPOINTING. That Pacific Region crowd knows how to PARTY HEARTY, eh?! But we are looking forward to catching up with you all in Goshen. Meantime, have fun and we'll see you...

    An Alternative to Wirenuts that should great in RV's

    With the Wago type, the closing the lever locks in the wire. Lifting the lever releases it and it can be reused. I got the selection from Amazon link Dan provided (and Finnegan too). 3s, 4s and 5s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Dave Tyler and I installed CheapHeats in two Bighorns and a Landmark. All three had space available in the main breaker panels so that we didn't need an additional box. I checked with Larry and he said if there was space, great. Some panels are probably full, but if you have the space, makes...
