Well all, it’s time for us to pass the reins to someone else for the West Texas Chapter. We have loved giving the western part of Texas a gateway to club membership and hosting another stop on the rally trail for our fellow Heartlanders. We have enjoyed discovering new places for rallies...

Decided to replace all the bearings since it was overdue for a repack. First wheel off, looking at the spindle, are these areas of concern? Not sure what is serious. We’ve not done this before. The surface of the spindle feels very smooth. We plan to replace the bearings and races, as well as...

Nothing like walking up to the rig when she’s finally above freezing and seeing water dripping where it shouldn’t. After 5 days of record breaking below freezing and no electricity or water for most of it, we are finally able to evaluate what damage we might have sustained. Removed underbelly...

Hi all, I’d like to get some suggestions to help the management of the park we are living in. It’s a brand new park and they are not well-prepared for continuous sub-freezing temps that we are about to experience this week. Their solution is to cut all water off for the next few days...

The gfci plug was tripped on Saturday evening, and I reset it, but it tripped within 30 seconds. Sunday we tested and discovered our heated hose was the culprit. The faucet is protected from the weather with a 5 gallon bucket and some fiberglass pipe insulation wrapped around it, so we rarely...

Hi all, I wanted to share my recent experience with the Micro-Air EasyTouch RV Touchscreen Thermostat Control. I have been eyeing this for a while, and when the Black Friday discount was offered for Heartland Owners, I took the plunge. Remember, I’m a gal, so the appeal of this product was the...

We have a leaking stabilizer leg that will be replaced soon. Since I know it’s been leaking, should I pull all hydraulics in and see if I need to add fluid, or, do I need to replace all the fluid with new? In either scenario, anyone have a recommended ATF? Note, we’ve already added the...

Hi all, you may have read my inquiry about how to tell if you have hail damage on another thread. Here I hope to show photos from DFW RVRoof as the send them to us over the next few days of the process, for the FlexArmor sprayed-on roof system. This is after only having the coach about 5...

Ok collective brain, any idea why my Splendide 2100XC Combo makes a weird sound when it switches to “rinse”? Click the link to play on Vimeo. Clicking the arrow on the image to play the video doesn’t seem to play the sound. https://vimeo.com/422982580 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk...

This weekend we took a trip and while traveling hit a bridge transition that caused a strong porpoising motion. When we got to our destination, on a fairly level site, auto level caused the right side to be extended fully, lifting tires off the ground, forcing the rig at a wild angle. The panel...

Does anyone have a complete crank-up antenna (all of the parts included) laying around that they would be interested in getting rid of? We “upgraded” to a King Jack and tossed our old antenna years ago, but have found the Jack Antenna is not getting signals like our old crank-up used to. I...

Here’s some pics of the hail we got Tuesday night. My small SUV was partially protected with some light tree coverage, and received some pretty big dings from the hail. I checked the rv roof (no protection) and found sporadic “dents” in the membrane, but no damage to vents or shrouds. The curved...

Hi all, we had an interesting scenario happing while we were visiting Angel Fire, New Mexico this past week. We were staying at the “high-end” Angel Fire RV Resort, which was relatively full of visitors there for the snow, as we were. We were there for 5 nights, temperatures were generally...

We noticed a few months ago that there was some water in the basement, we thought was rain water coming in from the basement door. Today however we discovered the source. Looks like we have a leak on our inlet side of the Atwood water heater, a pinhole leak in the part that connects to the...

Need some guidance from y’all. We are in the process of upgrading our furnace to add CheapHeat. We have added the extra cabinet and duct as instructed for CheapHeat. However, Texas went from Summer to Winter in a week, and we had to run on propane since nightly temps are dropping below...

At the National Rally in Goshen, we found out our MorRyde SRE4000 suspension needed to be replaced, due to faulty rubber vulcanization in the equalizer. MorRyde gave us 2 new Equalizers, but we had to install them ourselves. Well, last weekend, we did that. As it turns out, last year we had...

Last night we had some severe storms blow through our area. About 7:30pm, the power went out, and stayed out until about 2:15am. We automatically assumed everything was ok. Unfortunately, we heard via Facebook that the outage happened due to damage at a substation, and power was being...

Hi members and friends! I have a limited quantity of leftover shirts from the Spring Rally in Abilene this year. I will be bringing them to the National Rally in Goshen. If you would like to buy one and pick up there, they are $12.00 (covers the cost of the shirt.) why is it higher than the...

I was up doing some lap sealant work on the roof today, and noticed an odd looking effect happening in one area of our roof. Its' about a 1.5' x 3' area, behind the rear AC unit. Here's a few pics of it. At first I thought it was just a run-off pattern in the dirt on the roof, but you can...

I am working on a project, and was wondering if the Heartland family can help me out. I am looking for pictures of the past oval-shaped decals that get placed on your rig when you arrive a HOC national rally. How far back do they go? I am looking for good pics of as many as possible. Please...

We loved our 2013 GMC 3500 DRW Denail we bought used in 2015. But it must have had a few gremlins. It seemed nearly every trip we've taken in the last year, we've had to deal with some sensor giving us fits. After replacing some this fall, we decided it was time to upgrade. We still love the...

While suffering 4-6" of rain in Oklahoma last month, we discovered water dripping from our TV antenna control in the ceiling of the bedroom. We had removed the original crank up antenna a few years ago and put in a Jack low-profile antenna. Shortly after we returned, i went on the roof and...

Last night I looked out and thought one of my awning LED strip lights was out. Today, I went and investigated, and discovered it was just a praying mantis blocking one of the LEDs! I guess he was waiting for a meal to be attracted to the lights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Today the power went off at our "home" rv park site. After about 2 minutes the power did not come back on, so we went out to check the portable Progressive EMS. It was still flashing the "testing" light, the reading said E-0 but then also PE-2, which is open ground. We disconnected the EMS and...

Well, took the plunge and got professional window tinting done for all windows. I was originally looking for the Llumar film, but talking to an installer he recommended an upgrade that had a higher heat blocking ability. We went with XPEL Prime XR window film. It also has a lifetime transferable...

Last year we had the SRE 4000 installed by MorRyde in Elkhart, along with some Bilstein shocks. On our return home to Texas, 2 of the shocks failed, and the two others looked to be leaking. We could not pinpoint the exact cause, so we replaced with standard trailer shocks. After less than 4K...
