I have a 2018 Elkridge and the metal frame, near the hinges, has separated from the foam portion. The door is pretty much useless. Luckily I have two doors but would still like to get my main door replaced.

I’m wondering if anyone has found a bank or credit union that would allow an RV to be financed as a mortgage loan rather than just a personal loan. I do not own a “house” but am trying to have a mortgage on my credit profile to maximize my FICO score. Any information would be much appreciated...

Yeah but my spot is about 18-20 inches away from that channel. I was thinking of trying to shove a thin steel plate between the floor and joists. But if the polystyrene has in fact broken down then there will still be a soft spot I would imagine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few minutes after posting this, I went ahead and got underneath, pulled loose the black plastic backing board to look for water. Bone dry. I saw the channel you mentioned, with the kitchen sink drain, however, it has 2x4 (2x2??) supports on both sides of the drain pipe. However, I do agree...

I noticed about 2 weeks ago a soft spot right in the middle between the kitchen island and the dinette slide-out. I don’t see water leaking from beneath my RV, nor have I found any moisture on any surface of the floor or the plumbing inside the island under the sink. This is a 2018 Heartland...

He didn’t mention it in his reply but those “buckets” are called Jack Blocks. I use them on my 5er too. They make a huge difference in minimizing the rocking of the rv due to the jacks being extended way out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you cancelled before the first of the month then I don’t see why there would be an issue. The refund should have been the correct thing for them to do. One of their “idiots” in accounting probably saw that and is now treating it as they would with a contract account, which is not the case. I...

If you didn’t purchase the equipment like I did then yes, probably. Anything to make a buck these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They charge a month in advance. If you start mid-month you’re charged for remainder of that month plus the next month. So it’s not really a deposit so much as it is paying for what is essentially a pre-paid service. Imb Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure which receiver you’re using but with my current DISH receiver, I can change the zip code myself in the receiver settings. It’s part of initial setup. I’ve had Direct in the past and I remember being able to do the same thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should be able to find one on etrailer. https://www.etrailer.com/Fifth-Wheel-King-Pin/Lippert-Components/LC158778.html Don’t know if that’s the exact one you need but you can search the site. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve done a few things this week. Threw the cheapo uncomfortable dual recliner in a dumpster and put in an amazingly comfortable La-Z-boy recliner made with memory foam. I hung and set up my MoFi router for my unlimited internet. Then, I got brave and tore out the cheap little laptop size...

If you mean what tools, I just used a regular spade bit. I already had drilled two holes through the wood (running coax cable) so I just used the same bit to go through the countertop behind my tv. It’s the same material on all my counters throughout the rv. It actually drills a rather smooth...

Just wanted to throw this in here. Using the level up works fine. As do the Jack Blocks since they’re rated for 6K each. The one thing to mention if lifting both axels is to make sure the spring hangers are all back in the correct upward position. It took me a while to get those back right with...

Should be the same as my ‘18 Elkridge. I was curious about it too and it’s made by Hi-Macs which is owned by LG. I pulled this from the website. .... {{HI-MACS[emoji768] is an outstanding solid surface material. A delicate composition of acrylic, minerals and natural pigments that combine to...
