Good information, Dan. I'll try some of these things out. Last night, we didn't have that problem in the camper, and I noticed that the batteries are showing full charge now. If it does it again, I'll check these symptoms you've mentioned. I really appreciate the help! Read that article, too...

Thanks, Brian. That's a good point. The lights and radio do work when the shore power is not connected. They'll run off battery power, so you may be onto something. That would also explain why the A/C never quit and why the power outlets were showing steady voltage. It is obviously 120V. As...

Hi everyone, I have a 2012 Road Warrior 30C fifth-wheel toyhauler. We were staying at a nice campground last night, and I was at a full 50-amp hookup. Late evening, the voltage in the camper appeared to fluctuate. The lights would dim significantly, the radio would shut off. The A/C never quit...

Hi guys, Unfortunately I can't get a picture of the hookup because I've got the camper stored in my parents' shed 100 miles from here. But I questioned it too, and I'm certain I was looking at the sewer tank hookup, not the winterizing. I don't think mine has an inlet for the winterizing, and...

All, I have a 2012 Road Warrior 30C. In the past, I always cleaned the tank by draining it at the campground, then filling the tanks with water and letting them slosh around, and emptying it again at another stop down the road. Since my Road Warrior has the built-in connection I went to a...

Just curious... does anyone know the rough percentage offset that a fully loaded cargo box is designed to take off the hitch? I know these 5'er toyhaulers are designed with a lot of extra hitch weight to offset the loaded cargo box. I'm just curious how much of a difference that they're...

Well, that helps ease my fears a little anyway. I appreciate it. Yeah, the air bags make a huge difference, and I've heard guys say that the Titanium nose cone does help with the wind deflection. I had also looked at the XLR with the V-nose by Forest River, but I really hated the configuration...

Dave and Laura: When I ordered my 2011 Powerstroke, I made the mistake of opting to purchase an F250 instead of an F350. Otherwise, our trucks are nearly the same configuration... 6.7PSD, SRW, CC, etc. I use my truck extensively on the farm as well, so I added Firestone Air Springs to the front...

I think you'd be just fine if the specs are accurate. Be aware, though, that many RV manufacturers list the average, stripped-down weight of new RV's, before you start putting a generator in the front, water tanks, etc. Still, I think you'd be fine there. Loaded down with water and even if your...

Thanks jnphobe... I appreciate it. Can anyone verify with certainty the stud size and bolt pattern on my incoming 30C Road Warrior? The link suggested works fine, I'm just not sure what exactly I need to order. I do know with certainty that I'll have (2) 7,000 lb axles under the trailer, but...

All, I should be taking delivery in the next 10 to 12 days on my new Road Warrior 30C (double axle). Everything I've read on here and everywhere else (my dealer mentioned it too)seems to indicate that it's best to get rid of the Chinese crap that comes on them. I've done a fair bit of...

Yes, the burgers are indeed great there. The owners are really nice. It's not a big building, but the owners are very nice. The exit is about as ideal as it gets to pull in with a big fifth wheel. Lots of place to park, and when you get back on the interstate, it's a flat grade for a long time...

Thanks! Actually, we're hoping to come in early August, and do some ATV-riding near the Crested Butte area. We're hoping to find a good, modern campground within 5 or 10 miles of Crested Butte, since we want to go up to the Crystal Mill, ride Devil's Punchbowl, etc. We're experienced riders, so...

Thanks!! We're very excited to be new Heartland owners. The dealer says ours should arrive sometime the first week of April, and hopefully we'll have opportunity to take our first weekend out in it before the month's end. I'm hoping we'll have plenty of chances to use it this year. There are a...

Hello, Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm sooner to become a new Heartland owner. I've just begun the purchase process on a new 2012 Road Warrior 30C Toyhauler that should arrive at my dealer within a couple of weeks. Can't wait!! Looking forward to my first trip in it. My folks had an...
