We recently had an ice storm that seems to have caused the roof to now sag slightly under the AC. The ceiling is also "sagging" inside. I'm concerned that, since this a seamless roof, it is not a typical repair. Where should I take it to have it repaired? Is this something my local RV dealer can...

Bought from a "local" dealer (three hour drive - the closest we could find). We had some major issues and were glad that we didn't have to return the unit even further to have repairs done. Considering the cost of gas and time traveling, the cost difference would have to be huge to buy from...

I'm not sure of the exact specifications for our van but we towed an MPG 11,000 miles this past summer. We weren't the fastest thing on the road, but it went coast to coast, over three mountain ranges and through the desert southwest with no problems. The only thing we had done to the Saturn...

Finally. Here are some pictures of the 13 ft. "Cabana" made by Dometic on the MPG. You can see how it stores and what it is like set up.

The bag is held in place with a small screw on one end. It takes 10 minutes or so to put up and take down. This is our first camper and enjoyed having it this summer. It sure beats a tent. It did have to go back to the factory for some extensive repairs. The dealer and Heartland both stepped up...

Sorry this has taken so long - computer problems. Here is a picture of the dome on the MPG. Set up is just like the one that Dometic makes for Heartland only you don't have to slide it in and out of the track every time. It is a little smaller, though. (This is one 13ft. - I'm not sure how big...

I'll try to get some pictures posted soon.

We have a slightly smaller dome than the option that is sold with the MPG. It is built into a bag that attaches to the MPG. We do not have to slide it in and out of the track every time. We tried the bigger one first, but we were unhappy with having to slide it in and out every time. We weren't...

Our tent is a dometic, like the MPG's. I don't remember the exact size, but the tent we bought was a smaller size than the one that came with the MPG. The size we bought comes in a bag, like the one with the MPG, but the bag is made of a heavier material and attaches to the track. The tent rolls...

We were told NOT to attach the screen room as as the directions say. Because of the construction of the MPG, there is nothing for the screws to really grip on. We are going to try suction cups to attach it. We also opted for a smaller room that what intially came with the TT. We've used it a...

I dropped the MPG off at the dealer yesterday for repairs. If Heartland's customer service is on par with my dealer's customer service, I'm confident whatever solutions are arrived at will be right ones.

Probably not the most secure, but its better than nothing.

Nothing has been added to back.

This may be a little late but here goes. We are pulling with a Saturn Relay it also has a towing weight of 3500 lbs. The van pulls it fine. We are not the fastest thing on the road, but average 55 or 60 mph on level ground, considerably slower in the mountains. We did have a transmission cooler...

We are pulling with a 2007 Saturn Relay. We just returned from a cross country trip (10,000 miles) and had no problems. Admittedly, going up the mountains in the Rockies and Cascades was slow and nerve racking. The heat in the desert was also unnerving, but the van did fine. The engine...
