    ATF: Greystone - Main support bolts

    The other day I noticed that one of the nuts on the frame were loose. There is a triangle shaped support outside the frame. There is a bolt coming download through the floor and goes through the support out near the aluminum skirt. Any way, it appears that all the nuts on these bolts have...

    Plumbing issue

    The bedroom floor in our 32 re started getting wet and I found the bathroom sink drain tubing connections were all extremely loose. These junctions have screw together connections. I was able to tighten each about one and a half full turns before they were even somewhat tight. I'm sure they...

    Floor Vent / Thermostat Interactions

    I noticed that each time the furnace started it only ran for a few minutes and shut off and then restarted again in a few minutes. It would go through maybe 4 cycles before the thermostat was satisfied and would then stay off for maybe 30 minutes or longer, depending how cold it was outside...

    Greystone Satellite TV antenna connection

    We just finished a trip from New England to Florida and to California. The Heartland unit has been working out very well. However, many parks don't have good TV connections and the antenna doesn't always pick up well when not close to a big city. So my wife wants a satellite system installed...

    Fresh water tank capacity problem

    I'm writing for help, especially from the factory if someone there reads this section. I noticed that it didn't take very long to fill the fresh water tank. I timed the hose rate and then timed the fill. I only got about 17 gals in the tank before it would not take any more. Nothing seems...

    What's the best way to air tires?

    I have a small pump and I've been trying to inflate my truck and trailer tires. I fill them up, reduce pressure to my set point and then the next day they all read low and not very balanced. I don't know if I'm having problems with sun on the tires when I fill them or hot air from my...

    Greystone Tire Pressure

    I weighed my rig today so that I could determine the load on each tire of the trailer. Here is a picturer of the weight distributions; on one side, on one axel and on individual tires: I find this data very interesting. For instance the truck weighs 500 lbs more on the drivers side. I...

    Greystone Tire Inflation Pressure Discussion

    Most everyone will tell you to inflate your trailer tires to the full pressure listed on the trailer placard. This pressure is associated with the full load capacity of the tire. My Greystone uses Power King ST235/80R16 tires, load rating E, supporting 3520 lbs at 80 psi. Fully loaded, my...

    Suspension Type King Pin Box

    Chevy does not recommend that I add Ride-Rite air bags to my Silverado truck as they think they might void my power train warranty. The next best place to add ride softening is in the pin box. I'm wondering if the Heartland Factory representative can comment on the Greystone or Lippert...

    Greystone landing travel limits

    How do I know when I'm close to the limit of vertical travel on the landing gear, just before the fuse blows? I understand that changing this fuse is a real pain, and many people replace it with a circuit breaker. Anyway, I'd like to paint two lines, one close to each limit of travel, but I...

    Winterizing a Greystone

    I've been reading in the Sundance forum that the winterizing hose is behind the rear side wall of the basement, behind the Universal Docking Center (UDC). I have not attempted to remove this panel yet to see for myself, but if it is there, I'd like to bring it out. Can I bring out this hose...

    Greystone Bolt Torque Specifications

    The only torque spec I could find in the owners manual was for the wheel nuts; 120 ft-lbs. I would also like to occasionally check other main structural bolt tightness. What is the specified torque for the 7/8" nuts on the U-Bolts that hold the axles to the frame? What are the torque...

    Lippert Issue: Over-tightened and over-greased bearings lead to trouble

    I live in NH and we needed to obtain a safety inspection on our new Greystone. We failed the inspection. The inspector found that all the wheels had axel grease in the wheels and around the electric brakes. Apparently, too much grease was injected into the bearing areas on all four wheels and...
