LOL compromise. I wanted a medium size travel trailer. My wife wanted a fifth wheel. So we compromised on a fifth wheel.

I don't have a full answer for you but our Milestone came with the Winegard antenna but it wasn't fully ready for use. There are two Winegard lines, one is the main antenna originally designed to pull in TV signals better, and then there's an advanced Air+Gateway option where the antenna has an...

These Reolink's have an extra feature like the Eufy S340 we use (a very similar competitor) folks may want to know. They have motion tracking. When a person is detected, the camera will rotate to face (and follow) that person. I don't have any stats to back this up... but my feeling is a camera...

I have the Lippert Tire LINC kit and those worked on my stems on my Milestone 386BH. YMMV - I don't know if the stem lengths and angles vary between models. I don't necessarily RECOMMEND the product. :) I find the mobile app very frustrating to use and not very reliable. But they fit and read...

Sorry, we won't be attending because my wife has a trip planned and I'll be working on a homestead site we have here in CO. Our Milestone will be at that site and we won't want to haul it out, this year anyway. But if the timing works out, I may be able to drop by and say hello to some folks...

Suggestion: I think your Contact link is incomplete. You might want to edit the post. It should be https://heartlandowners.org/conversations/add?to=Heartland RV Marketing no? (The forum's mini-WYSIWYG editor messes with your link depending on how you paste it.) For what it's worth. GotG...

We've had a Starlink for 2 years, one of the early adopters. It has pros and cons. It's congestion-sensitive so if there are a dozen Starlink users in your same service "hex" (which I think is like 13mi wide or so...) you'll lose bandwidth. And it's very expensive. The home plans cost like $120...

I just found another use for a jump pack BTW. I recently replaced my camper batteries with lithiums (plus solar). I'm sure you all know they have built-in management features like cutting off charging if they go below freezing since that ruins them. Well apparently the BMS in the battery I...

I don't understand the purpose of this post. Those of us participating here are Heartland owners. We don't have anything to do with how things are made, nor any power to change it. And it doesn't help your case to sneer at folks who are trying to respond in some helpful way the best they can...

If y'all want a modern improvement on the usual hassle, lithium "jump packs" are really cheap these days on Amazon and are a lot easier. Most are like $60-$80, only need to be recharged/topped up once a year, and store very small compared to jumper cables. I haven't used one to operate my...

Perhaps there's been a sea change. I was contacted directly to talk some of these details through. I don't want to say more because it's an in-progress conversation, but I think it's at least positive to see some engagement there.

In addition to space considerations, don't forget cabling. Electrical devices don't "use" volts, they "use" watts (power). P+E*I which is why 120V at 10A is 1200W and 12V at 100A is also 1200W. Flipping that around that means if you need to get 1200W out of a system (typical microwave) you'd...

I mean... it's kind of a bad look, not even replying to THIS thread, of all places. I did go ahead and post a review (I had a few minutes between calls) and got a boilerplate response that they were sorry I had a bad experience, and to please call customer service (as if I hadn't already been...

Look on the frame rail right near the tongue/hitch. It should be a few inches away from where the two rails come together into the tongue assembly. It's often not super noticeable because they usually get covered with road grime and rust. It may be either stamped/embossed right into the rail, or...

Where exactly is this along the underbelly? What is it close to? Standard trailer wiring has brown as the "running lights" and white or yellow is usually the ground. But there's no guarantee at all that this follows it. You'd have to trace it. Actually, signal tracers are pretty cheap on Amazon...
