I've got to start taking the cloroplast undebelly off to figure out why my fresh water tank dropped out. It looks like I can just pull the self tappers and maybe make a few small slits to free up brake wires and plumbing penetrations and drop it? I'm looking for any tips that will help me...

At dinner DW casually announced she had just been in the RV and I need to add a delaminated counter top to the (growing) list of things to fix in our Cyclone. I asked when she had planned to mention this... In any case it looks like water is coming down the wall in the bedroom and must have...

I rarely use my fuel station but always liked having it. During hurricane Irene I found out too late that my fuel station stopped working. I cannot get the timer to start. I pulled it apart and jumped the first switch - still nothing. I'm guessing the timer module is shot. Can I just jump...

Last week we had our awning out when a small squall came through. Didn't expect much wind so I just tilted it down and went inside. Unfortunately we were along a river and within minutes POP! a gust came through and pulled one side of the awning off the supports. I was able to wrestle it back...

Just saw this and thought it was very informative http://youtu.be/lkwOE1yKY5c Anyone know what the SECOND worst thing to do after a blowout would be?

It looks like my converter just gave up on me. No 12V anywhere. I found a main AC breaker for it (not tripped). AC is fine. I'm currently charging the battery with an external charger so I'll be able to operate the rig. Are there other fuses buried in there somewhere? Looks like I need to...

Is it just me... every time I come back to this forum after any time away I will do a "reply". I write up my post, look at the buttons, and hit the "reply" button again. It wipes out everything I'd just written and give me a new blank form. I know why the forum is coded with the reply...

We may be unusual... but we use our oven. Last night it died and this is an issue. I noticed the pilot was hard to light but I eventually got it lit. However over night the pilot went out and will not light again. At first I thought I'd lit it but then I realized I'd actually lit the...

So... dummy me didn't listen to DW who was saying "I don't think you are disconnected"... last time I pulled away from my RV and I yanked my 7 pin cord clean off my trailer. (as I KNEW... I had disconnected the cord - but it was caught on the truck as DW was trying to tell me) My RV has a...

So... I had to replace the switch on my front jacks because it failed. Just finished wiring the new one back and I was looking around in there to figure out if everything was now good. Well - I noticed that the motor that runs the landing gear seems to barely be bolted in? I mean, when I...

I have not used the fuel pump since I tested it two years ago when we bought the unit We do keep gas in the tank for the genny. Today I needed some gas for our lawn mower and thought, hey! I've got some over there. However, the timer switch seemed a bit "sticky" and even after I got it to...

My landing gear quit on me so I've been reading the forum to get ideas. I read about a resettable fuse that could be installed? I like that - any idea where to get one? My issue seems to be a bad switch. Any ideas where to get a new switch... 2 pole momentary contact 30A+ DC exterior...

Just finished a re-work of the kitchen cabinet over the fridge on my 3210. As delivered this cabinet has a 4" space below the front edge and extends to the ceiling. Because the cabinet is well above eye level the space below the lip was difficult. Because the cabinet was so large it was...

The other day I saw the sun hitting my rig at just the right angle to notice that my off-door-side access panel to the basement is delaminating :( I now seem to remember that after a rain, if I opened that door that water would run out of the hinge area. I'm guessing that water collects into...

I intend to mount my LCD TV's to swing out arms on the walls in the bunk and bedroom. Both those walls (interior) are 1/4" thick with minimal framing behind them. Any suggestions? For the bunk I was thinking of putting a 3/4" wood reinforcement over the whole thing - screwing it in from the...

We have a very nice big kitchen drawer under the stove. Set on nice sturdy rails that extend so you can get a lot of (heavy) stuff in there. The rails are associated with the outside wall with 4 nice tiny 1/2" by #6 screws. Heavy stuff+little screws = rails tear out of wall and drawer breaks...

Believe it or not... I got a bigger truck and the hitch is actually lower than my old small truck! The rig now rides a few inches low in front. I took it on the highway for a quick test and it seems to tow fine this way -- but it would be handy to have the rig ride level. I looked at the...

DW was following me home from FL last week and determined that our left rear tail light LED's were failing one by one... she said that at first she noticed two were out, then three, by the time we got home the whole bottom column of LED's was out. It looks like that assembly is screwed on from...

After working fine for a while, our ice maker has begun to make blocks instead of cubes... It seems like the tray is dripping water into the bin and it's freezing into a block there. Any common failures? Maybe an adjustment on the water level in the tray? (yes we are level...) getting tired...

We are here in sunny but cold FL and using the furnace a lot more than in the past... of course when we need it the most it quits on us. Initially I'd wake up in the morning to cold (yes we had propane) but if I cycled the thermostat off then on the furnace fired immediately. I should have...

I have three outlets in my front basement storage, all marked "GFCI" they all stopped working at the same time. The main circuit breaker isn't tripped. I assume I tripped the GFCI but the only reset I can find is on the bathroom outlet. Where is the second GFCI reset?

I just noticed a slow drip coming off the door side front tire cover... I traced it back to a pair of copper gas lines that go into the sub-floor above the tire. I assumed it was coming from the HWH but the HWH and all plumbing above the finish floor is bone dry... It seems like clean water so...

How do you get at the bulbs on the outside lights? One of mine is burned out and I need a plan. Does the round plastic cover rotate and pull out of the metal ring? or do you need to remove the 4 screws, the ring and the cover? It looks like the ring is caulked in the side so if you need to...

We had our dinette set up for 6 months and when it came time to pull the posts out and slide in the slide... the plastic caps on the end of the two round posts broke off and stayed in the floor. This was on my list of warranty repairs... but my local dealer took 4 months to finish my roof...

When we ordered our 3210 we asked about ceiling fans and were told none were available. After a year of use I am all the more convinced that a few well placed fans would really keep the rig comfy without resorting to AC... I just noticed that ceiling fans are offered in the Bighorn... so what...

Can anyone offer opinions on getting service on a Heartland product in central New Jersey? I've got some (hopefully minor) warranty work to get done before my year is up and asked for a list of dealers near my zip. Camping World in Lakewood declined to do warranty work. I now have an...

The loft has always been a little hard to get into/out of and we always thought there should be some kind of barrier to stop you from just rolling off the edge in your sleep (it's really a long drop and would NOT be good). The pre-fab stuff I found for beds was all very expensive and the...

I was just up on my roof watching the shuttle launch and was surprised at the amount of sag between roof rafters. In one place along the wall I would expect zero sag because I would expect the roofing to be supported by the wall and would think this is the strongest part of the roof. Instead...

We are FT and been in the RV for a little more than 4 months now. Recently the bulbs have begun to go all over... 4 in the last 2 weeks. Is this typical life? I'm replacing them with WM "long life" bulbs - we'll see how that goes. Not terrible at .90 cents each. We had our last rig 4 years...

We have a Jenson JE2608 26" LCD TV. It is cabled over the air from an amp found in the bedroom (the TV is in the living room). We have a TV in the bedroom too off the factory wired jack (I assume split off the same amp). Yesterday I noticed a very odd correlation which I just repeated now...

I was just cleaning off the black streaks from the gutter on my 3210 and noticed that one side of my front cap seal has opened up just about 1/4". The gap is between the wall and the cover for the seam at the very bottom just before the cover turns under the front. I cannot find any easy...

Yesterday I was outside and suddenly some water ran out of the grill on the HWH. I investigated and found that the HWH pressure relief valve was dripping. There is a nice little diverter that stops it from dripping onto wires and it was wet. When the diverter got full it dripped to the bottom...

For peace of mind we wanted a safety bar on the bed. Our 9 y/o daughter is old enough to sleep up there safely, but she is a restless sleeper and we have seen her with a foot (or two) and part of her leg hanging over the side (she sleeps with her head at the far end). I just fabricated an 8"...

Two weeks ago DW noticed that a towel stored under the bath sink was wet. She took everything out of the cabinet (no damage to the wood we were happy to see) then put a bowl in the middle under the trap. The bowl collected some water over a day or so... at which point DW informed me. I find...

We have had a few warranty issues on our RV and I've mentioned most of them in this forum. So far, nothing major. For the first two we contacted our dealer who shipped us the parts that were missing/broken just after delivery and that worked fine. A few weeks ago the handle on our bathroom...

The grill over the range on our Magic Chef range/oven is held in place by grommets. So far 3 of the 4 of them sheared apart and fell into the bottom of the range. So just now I took the fourth one out and let the grill just sit in the oversized holes. Has this happened to anyone else? After...

...is there a way to improve it? The audio on our TV lags the picture by 150 to 200 ms or so - very obviously off and annoying. But, I just noticed that the audio on our other TV (another brand in the bedroom) is actually in synch with its own picture AND the picture on the Jenson... seems...

Is it just me? I find this user interface to be quite convoluted. I am OK with all kinds of tech stuff but this sure seems to be a pain. The unit has a lot of nice features all in a compact 12V form factor, so I really WANT to like this thing. Yesterday I finally broke down and opened the...

What is behind the interior and exterior walls? I'm contemplating things like adding cabinets (in the garage) and shelves and TV mounts and I'm not sure what's back there. It seems there's a 1/4" wall board of some sort but on the interior it seems like it floats and there's something (not...

There is a very nice 24" high cabinet above our refrigerator. Unfortunately the cabinet has 4 1/2" of space below the front edge, you must lift items over the front edge then they disappear below the lip. Since the cabinet is so high you cannot easily look down to see what's lost in there...
