I cannot address the issue of touch up paint, but our rig developed a 4 to 5 inch surface crack on the front cap which is brown. I took the rig to a local body shop and they fixed the crack and matched the brown paint perfectly. It cost me $180.00 as my dealer is over three hours away and fuel...

Where the mounting brackets for the ladder are screwed into the rear fiberglass cap, I am noticing small hair line cracks about a 1/4 inch long around the mounting bracket. When I climb on the ladder it gives downward about two to three inches. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you...

Hi John! Please put Marge and I down for the rally. Arrive on Wednesday, Sept 11th, and leave on Monday, Sept 16th - five nights. I will call you tomorrow. Thanks

We are on our way to the rally at Winchester Bay, OR. Right now we are spending a few days on the Willamette River before heading to the rally next Wednesday. This is our first stay at Casey's and we are impressed with the beautiful campgrounds, the surrounding trees, mountains and river...

Thanks to all for all the advise. Have a couple of plumbing stores that were closed over the weekend. I will try them tomorrow. Mike

Hi Dan! Went to Orchard Hardware Store and they advised I would have to go to a RV Store for the part. They advised it is an RV plumbing fitting. The closest RV store is closed for the weekend so I may have to wait till Monday. Thanks - Mike

Long story short, our dealer (who is three hours away) mailed me a new Eureka Yellow Jacket Central Vac to replace our broken one. The old unit has a "T" plastic fitting glued to the intake and of course the new one did not come with one. Has anyone been able to remove the "T" fitting from the...

We are excited to meet all of the Heartland group at Winchester Bay. This will be our first Heartland rally. We are traveling through Oregon with friends and they will be joining us. We are in sites 65 and 66. We have belonged to other rv groups and brought raffle gifts to rallies. Could...

We took our maiden trip last week and prior to leaving, I filled the fresh water tank. When traveling, my friend told me water was leaking out the bottom along side the frame behind the tires. It only did this when traveling. Called Heartland and my dealer and they said it was normal and water...

I know this is a bit late, but we picked up our second new 3260 (Long Story) about a week ago. As far as the bathroom door - we hand them reverse it so you do not have to step off the landing - it now opens per HL's website floor plan. We had the dealer put in a four step entry in lieu of the...

OOOPS!!! My humble apologies to Kary and again thanks to all who responded. Mike

I will try to answer some of the questions: 1) I called Heartland Factory Rep back in Indiana, who said the two 6volt batteries in series would not last more than three days. I will e-mail "Karykatz" and see what she recommends. 2) I have a volt meter, if I can find it, and hope I remember how...

We took possession of our 2nd new 2013 3260 Elite last Thursday (Long Story) and arrived home last Friday. I went out to the rig three days later and the batteries were dead. Check for battery fluid and they were both down about 20%. Filled them both back up and plug the unit into shore power at...

We will soon be having three slide out toppers installed on our rig. Any comments regarding "Dometic Delux vs Carefree Kover III?":confused: Thanks Mike & Marge PS: Are the topper aluminum weathershields worth the extra $$$?
