Linda and I have had two heartlands, but our last (2013 Bighorn 3010) was our favorite. Other than that we have had 3 other rigs, starting out with a Travel Supreme, back in 1996 when they would customize a rig for you. We used 5th wheels to travel our sales territory since 1996, covering 10...

Back in 2013 it did.

Just my opinion but with a remote you are tempted to just that….be remote. In our 25 years of travel I always had my hand on the switch inside while Linda was watching and listening on the outside. I have heard too many stories of folks not paying close attention back when remotes were first...

Don’t know your model, but my switch was acceptable behind the basement wall and under my stairs. About 2 - 3 inches and maybe 1/2 inch thick. With plastic coating wrapper. I seem to remember it had three wires hooked to it. In reality it’s just a small relay activated by the magnetic door...

Check that the metal holder of D seal is caulked. If not water can run behind it into rig.

I like SLO’s idea for complete replacement. Cut it out, replace with new components and if it’s too tight to glue it use rubber boots to join the parts together. Boots are a little more expensive but save a ton of time on your knees or back wrestling with the fix.

I would suggest that when you swap out the toilet, put a shut off valve in the line. The 310 is a great toilet, but if you need to take it out for repair or full cleaning the shut off valve makes it easier.

Get in touch with Heartland. I don’t have your model but as a gesture of good faith they fixed my 2013 in 2015 after we were out of warranty. They tried something simple first and it cracked again and they tore it apart and fixed it and then never a problem again.

I’d start by removing the Studor valves and capping the pipe. You can initially do this with plastic wrap. If the smell goes away you have found that one of them went bad. If you wait long enough you’ll find out you don’t need them. I capped mine off 8 years ago and have not had any problems...

It occurred to me, while we were waiting to hear from you that maybe you have a separate washer and dryer. All of my comments were based on the 2100(?) model that is a combo unit. But the problem I had last year was one of the two heat sensors on my unit. $35 part and not bad after 10 years of...

We mounted ours on the inside of the sink cabinet door. Perfect for our 3010, might not work as well for your model.

The damage will/should be worse close to the source. All it takes is a drip over time. I’d hook the unit up to city water and the sit back and watch. Then either during a rain storm or with hose spray wet the unit down and watch the water come in that way. Don’t forget to spray under the...

Keith….the lights blink in different sequences…and the sequence is the code. But as I said a little interesting that the lights are not blinking….but that will be enough I believe to get them started to help you. Let us know how this turns out.

Interesting that you don’t report any trouble codes. I have had two problems with our Splendide unit in its 10 year life….called their technical support both times. They are excellent! First one was fixed free under warranty and last year they diagnosed the problem over the phone and sold me...

Have you pulled out the dispenser drawer? From my memory the softener has to go through a tube. It gets all gunned up. You have to really tug on the drawer but it will come out.
