If fans were installed (properly) on the fridge they would be in the back of the fridge blowing over the coils. The grate under the fridge is probably access to your heater or water heater. There should be an access/vent panel in the outside the wall behind the fridge. You might be able to...

Just a wild guess. Since it's near the refrigerator, maybe a previous owner added cooling fans to the back of the refrigerator and that switch turns on the fans.

A GFCI can be at a wall plug near a kitchen or bath. But instead the circuit could be protected by a GFCI breaker, which you indicate you have. The GFCI breaker could be on the circuit that controls the outlets that are dead. You said the GFCI breaker was good. Did you reset it by toggling it...

Barring an obvious obstruction, you might want to check the slide mechanism adjustment first. You will have to remove the top fascia to access the mechanism. This video may help.

May be some confusion on my part. When you said you were going with a 3000 Watt inverter, you said " where only the HF upgrade was still available". I thought you were saying you were changing to the regular 3000 watt inverter, not the HF model. If you are in fact going to the HF model, it...

Sorry you didn't like the qualified installer reference. The intent is to keep you and whoever is working on you RV safe, including when your system is in use. I didn't say this, but for reference, I am an electrical engineer and I installed my own RV Solar including dual transfer switches...

There is no transfer switch in your RV unless the solar installer put one in. As previously mentioned, if you had a generator prep package, then yes. But generator prep is not an option from Heartland for your model. As david-steph2018 says, you would have to install a transfer switch...

I have always had mine balanced when new. Never had a tire shop say no. Don't know why your tire shop is balking. Why should they care. You're paying for it.

A through check list is your best friend. From my experience on my last coach purchase.....As it was in Oregon and I was in California, I negotiated the price over the phone and email. But, it was subject to inspection. No papers were signed of money exchanged until I was satisfied. Then we...

The black tank in an RV is not meant to be open all the time. It is meant to be closed until full and then dumped. Leaving the black tank open all the time will inevitably lead to the dreaded poop pile in the tank which will clog the tank and cause additional problems. For 3 in the morning...

Stay in a park that has a restroom and don't use the RV toilet. A gray water disaster is far easier to deal with than black water disaster.

Take a look at the video in the link below. It will tell you how to determine the roof material type. You may have to remove the inside Fascia board of the slide to be able to see both sides of the material on the slide roof. https://www.keystonerv.com/owners-how-to/exterior-edpm-or-tp-roof

Since the affected outlets are in the slide, you might want to check the flexible cable under the slide for broken wires. There should also be a junction box on the frame that the flexible cable connects to. Unplug from shore power and check the connections in the junction box. A voltmeter...

The only place I know to get the paint code (color mix) is from Heartland. Call customer service. The likelyhood that they could/would supply a decal for a trailer of that age is slim to none. But it never hurts to try.

I believe that your unit has what Heartland is calling "The Vault" at the front of the trailer. Inside is a fuse (left bottom) that is not connected on one side. There is a wire exiting the other side of the fuse. I don't know where it terminates. This is the solar prep they advertise...
