    A few things I wish...

    This would be cool: while you're connected to city water, have a switch or lever that fills up your fresh water tank, then automatically shuts it off once its full. Also, stronger cabinet locking mechanisms. lots of times when we drive a few hours, the cabinets open up, so i have to bungee...

    Heated under belly

    Called Heartland, and they said YES, freezing water pipes/tanks is within the realm of COMFORTABLE. when they say COMFORTABLE in their advertising it means you are sitting in the cabin and warm, but not using any water. wow..they should put a big asterisk there. We asked if they thought...

    to plug or not to plug while storing?

    I am storing my Elk Ridge in Vegas for 3-4months in the summer. Should I leave the trailer connected to power from a 20amp circuit to keep the converter on? I dont want to leave the batteries unattended lest they sulfate or drain. Does the converter have a trickle charge or battery tender mode...

    fresh water tank wont fill up to 57 gallons

    ok, i'll add that to my long list of "needs fixing" when i visit the dealer next month. what i did now was cut off the screw of my garden hose, and push it all the way down into the tank hole, it went about 4 feet or so ... it overflowed after 2-3 mins of filling, but i wiggled it around and...

    fresh water tank wont fill up to 57 gallons

    I cant seem to get my fresh water tank to hold 57 gallons. i dont know how much its holding, but i'm thinking 1/3 or something less than half. cant even take a shower, because after cooking and doing dishes and a few toilet flushes, its out of water! When i put a hose in it, it fills up fast...

    Toilet not holding water

    just an update... several weeks ago i brought my elk ridge into a dealer and they found that my toilet was leaking because only 3 out of the 4 clamps were installed inside. one was hanging loose. he said it was never put on in the first place. so he put it on and now my toilet is working perfectly.

    How to use water heater with electric, not propane

    Does anyone know how to make the water heater run on electric only, and not propane? (and vice versa, when i want to use propane again) I tried flicking on the red "light switch" in the control closet, and it does nothing. I understand the back-lit red switch means its heating via propane...

    how to get rid of mold in the underbelly

    I've been using our brand new ElkRidge for 3 weeks, and found out 4 days ago that there was a pink mold (looks like cotton candy) growing on the black carpet area in the underbelly. Gross! I scrubbed it with lysol and bleach, then took a portable heater and left it on there for over 24 hours in...

    Toilet not holding water

    my toilet is also leaking (started yesterday) but its coming from down to up. it starts leaking from where the toilet connects to the floor (the black water tank is definitely not full) Is this the same problem as what you have - a problem with the seal? Or should i just go buy some silicon...

    Stronger Stove Exhaust Fan

    pizza guy...what is the fantastic fan? Ours just has ON or OFF, no other speed setting. I'm looking for a small fan to put through the window to help exhaust, but the fans at target and wal-mart are huge residental-wndow sized square fans
