All of the work was done through the access door. We rotated the reel around and continued to wipe the rings all the way around a rotation. We were not able to see the rings on the back side of the rotation, but we were able to reach around to the back side to clean them.

Final update: Rather than spend $500 plus dollars for a new reel we decided to make our own electric board. We were able to clean up the slip rings on the inside of the power reel and the three copper connection clips. We did have to replace the old copper screw and nut that broke off from the...

We finally got a hold of a technician at Southwire.com and we also removed the rivets from the electrical board. See photos. He told us unfortunately they do not sell just the electric board, which would have certainly been the easiest and cheapest solution for us. He said to take the board...

Thanks for the phone number, I will give them a call. Yes, the loose connection was the issue. The stem is corroded all the way through and it spins around, so it won’t hold a nut. Therefore, a new connection is needed. Hopefully I can just replace the small electric plate?

We had no power in our 5th wheel last week and after a couple of days of numerous tests we found our problem. We had a loose wire under the metal panel on the inside of our power cord reel. The red wire had melted almost the entire way through. In fact when we removed the nut holding the wire to...

Re: Greystone F2611E Fireplace issue Thank you for your response. I was able to fix the problem. I took the back panel of the fireplace off and found the wire connecting the wand that rotates behind the lighted panel was slightly disconnected.

The Greystone fireplace in our 2014 Landmark has started to make a loud clicking noise while it runs. The heater still works, but when the fireplace flames light up they keep clicking back to the same visual start instead of changing the lighted pattern. We have 9 different flame dimmer levels...

Thanks for the info. We will try to get the window installed in the next couple of days.

We just received a new Kinro replacement dual pane window from Heartland to replace a broken one on our 2014 Key Largo. There were no instructions or hardware sent with the package. Does anyone know if there is a website to find installation instructions? We have been googling sites, but we...

We have dual pane windows on our Landmark and just discovered another "benefit" of them. One of the windows was struck by a rock from a weed whacker. It only shattered the outer pane. We still have another layer of glass, although the window is obviously not functional. The outer pane...

Thanks for the advice. Never thought about the fuses, and we will check into the bed saver. Lot's to learn, but looking forward to moving on to a new chapter in our lives!

A month from today we will be picking up our new Key Largo. What accessories should we have from the start? The dealer will provide a 'starter kit' of a sewer hose, slip disc for the 5er, 50 to 30 amp plug, and we have a water hose and pressure regulator. We have the full timers package which...

Thanks for all of the helpful Information. We are leaning towards the Michelin tires.

We are going to become new full time RV'ers this summer. We ordered a new Key Largo that we will be picking up next month and we recently purchased a used 2011 F350 DRW as a tow vehicle. We would like to put 6 new tires on our tow vehicle and we were wondering what brand of tire others were...

Thanks for the info and the link to another discussion. It appears dual pane windows is the way to go!
