I'm embarrassed to say I haven't installed it yet. Got back from Florida on April 1st and haven't gotten the camper back out since. I wasn't in any hurry because it worked fine on electric. I have the new board and should get it in next week. Busy this week with the village wide garage sale...

Had to make some changes to our route and will not be staying very close to Baton Rouge. Will be about halfway between Baton Rouge and Houston for 2 days. Here is the final route, most reservations already made and will be staying 1 night at some stops and 2 nights at others. Departing from...

Our first stop, in Whittington IL, is the same one we have used for our Florida snowbird trips. It's open year around and I drop the camper there in November for storage until we pick it up in January. Winters are a bit milder there, about 6 hours south of our home. We will do 1night there and...

Thanks to all for sharing your experience. After doing a bit of research we have decided on: Pingree Grove, IL (home) to Whittington, IL (Whittington Woods CG is always our first stop) to Tom Sawyer CG in West Memphis, AR (our usual second stop) to Baton Rouge LA area CG to Beaumont, TX area...

Thanks to all for the tips! I was wondering about the ferry. I understand it only runs at high tide. Is this true? And if so, how often does it run? We pull a 35 foot 5th wheel, will the ferry take that? We are staying on Mustang Island. Is there an alternative to the ferry if needed? I think...

While mine is an Atwood water heater I'm sure its the board as well. When I pull it Ill be sure to check for burned components / tracks.

Yep, I replaced the igniter / sensor assembly since it's way cheaper than the board. But the problem is still there. So I agree on it most likely being a board issue.

Thanks John, I'll check that as well. We are here in Florida for another 7 weeks or so and will have full hookups on the way home as well. So as long as the electric option is working it's not an emergency. But it does give me something to play with. LOL

Hot water tank works fine on electric but not on propane. Tries to light 3 times and then goes into DSI Fault. I can hear the solenoid click and smell gas but no spark at the ignitor / sensor. Removed it, cleaned and reset the gap, same problem. Removed the wire harness from the main board and...

Thanks uncledon, We dont leave Illinois until the first week of January, that's why I'm a bit apprehensive about a southwest route. Heading to Florida I take the route through Birmingham instead of Atlanta and hit Florida west of Tallahassee. Then travel east across the panhandle and south to...

While we usually snowbird in Florida, next year we will be heading down to Texas. Undecided if it would be better to cut the angle and shorten the drive or to head straight south to I-10 and then go west. Unfamiliar with winter weather on a southwest route. Anyone have experience and advice...

Heartland Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain 2018 Heartland Sundance XLT TT travel trailers. The vehicles may have been incorrectly equipped with Load Range C tires instead of Load Range D tires. Overloading the tires may result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash. Heartland...

Due to unforeseen family obligations we wont be able to attend the rally. We hope you have wonderful weather, friendship and great food! Dave Kupczyk Ronna Miller

Re: Front cap leak... Problem solved! I went back to camper this morning with the intent to remove the rubber cap molding, screws and aluminum bracket along the bottom seam one the side where I was experiencing the dripping. Then spreading the black plastic from the front cap and wedge it...

Re: Front cap leak... Actually we left Florida on April 1st. But February was the hottest on record down there and during our 10 week stay there were a few strong thunderstorms. Arriving back in northern Illinois on April 20th (we stopped in Texas and Oklahoma to visit family) I put the camper...
