    Newbie to cold weather camping: Need advice

    Thanks danemayer, One more quick question. I have a 2017 Elkridge 30 RLT. The underbelly is enclosed or sealed. Am I correct that it is also heated?

    Newbie to cold weather camping: Need advice

    Greetings all, I am wanting to try some cold weather camping (25 degrees Fahrenheit and above). We have a 2017 Elkridge 30RLT. We had a very slight freeze in my water line a few nights ago when the temp got down to about 29 or 30. My connections are just inside an exterior door with a "hole" in...

    Newbie to the inverter 5th wheel thing

    OK Thanks Dan!!! Do I just hold the switch to turn it off? Also will the batteries (I have two) if fully charged run the fridge for about 18-24 hours? Thanks again

    Newbie to the inverter 5th wheel thing

    Thanks Carl, It is factory installed. It's a 2017 Elkridge 30rlt that I just bought new. I have no idea what the model number is or how it is wired. It is in storage but I am packing up tomorrow for a trip so I will try to get that information and/ or pictures. There is a "remote" switch in the...

    Will it do any damage to my electrical system on my Elkridge 30rlt or any of my appliances if the inverter is on and I am connected to or connect to 50A shore power? Thanks Sandy, Barbara and furbaby Ebby

    5ER Newbie question and Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection Gooseneck Mount

    I recently traded my Mallard for an Elkridge and my RAM 1500 for a Chevy Silverado 3500. The Chevy already had a gooseneck ball in the longbed of the truck so I opted for the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel connection. Here is my problem: In order to hook up (on level ground) I have to have my...

    Using hydraulic jacks in rear only?

    Thanks to everyone for all the help. My situation is....if the folks that move my camper out of storage for me to hook up, forget the 6x6 blocks under the front jacks, I have to get them to go back out and raise it to put the blocks under it. I have to have the blocks because my jacks don't...

    Cabinet doors dont stay open when lifting up.

    Thanks for all the answers. It seems like in the M27 the doors didn't have struts. The hinge itself had a "stiff" point where they would stay open. I have a fear that the struts would cause the doors to "pop" open when traveling. To those of you using struts, is that a problem...doors popping...

    Using hydraulic jacks in rear only?

    Dan thanks for the quick reply. Here is the possible situation. We are storing the Elkridge at a "valet" type storage facility. We have an Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel hitch. In order for us to hitch up, the front of the camper has to be a little higher than the front jacks extend thus the need...

    Cabinet doors dont stay open when lifting up.

    We just upgraded to an Elkridge 30rlt form a Mallard M27. In the M27 the cabinet doors that opened "up", (lifting them up to open) would stay open without holding them. The NINE that we have in the Elkridge do not stay open. Did they put on the wrong hinges or is this the way it is in the...

    Using hydraulic jacks in rear only?

    I just traded our M27 for an Elkridge 30RLT. It has the lippert self leveling system. We have come in to a situation where we may need to raise the front jacks to get a 6x6 block under them. Can we lower the rear and/or middle jacks and safely raise the front jacks to get the blocks under them...

    Gooseneck for my 5th wheel?

    Further clarification. Got an email from Heartland and they suggested I contact Lippert Components (who apparently handles the hitch warranty issues for Heartland). Lippert says you can use the goose neck IF you use a Reese goose neck pinbox on the camper.

    Gooseneck for my 5th wheel?

    Thought I should pass this along. I just spoke with Heartland and they said ANY (including Anderson Ultimate) gooseneck will void your warranty for structural damage. I questioned them on the Anderson hitch because it does raise the hitch up but they said ANY gooseneck. Ohh well so much for the...
