    Anybody using Etrailers AMP style step on TV?

    Awesome thanks! I need the one that goes just in front of the rear tire but I'm guessing its the same step just different mounting brackets.

    2017 mallard M26 water heater bypass

    Thats something a "Reputable" dealer wouldn't have let you take it until you did know everything, unfortunately they are not easy to find anymore.

    Anybody using Etrailers AMP style step on TV?

    Im having a hard time reaching my hitch lock and am looking into getting one of those foldable steps to put on the drivers side of my Seirra. I was all set to buy an amp brand step but while looking on etrailers website i see they dont sell them. They do sell another that i actually like better...

    Used my 2017 cyclone 3600 for the first time

    I would definitely get figured out what valves are for what but in the meantime theres no "wrong" way to do it. The whole points just to empty your tanks so whatever accomplishes that works. Most people, myself included dump there black tanks first then the grey.

    Spray-on liner to protect underside of front of fifth-wheel?

    Alot of the sprayliner places are doing colors now to. The right place should be able to fix you up with something that will look nicer than the traditional black you always see. Also as a previous poster said look into a rock sheild for your truck. I'd get a set of rock tamers or something similar.

    Can power lines give you a "hot skin" condition?

    I would think yes it definitely could. I work for a pipeline utility and we've had safety classes on I believe they call it voltage transients. We have some pipelines that have high voltage power lines that parallel them so equipment like dozers, excavators, things like that are susceptible to...

    Wire gauge size for 50 amp outlet

    That makes no sense to me. I understand the cutoff but typically the breaker panel is inside, so were would you pull power from?

    Wire gauge size for 50 amp outlet

    If you will run in conduit you'll want to use 6gauge stranded thhn. If no conduit I would use 6gauge UF. Thhn is individual wires that would need run in conduit, most likely grey pvc ent. UF is underground cable all wires in a single protective sheath.

    black valve not closing all the way

    My black valve on my sundance used to do the same thing, what was going on was the top part of the valve that clamps onto the cable, the cable would slip inside the plastic knurls which in turn only allowed the valve to partially open. I tried tightening the screws but that made it very...

    Is this normal craftsmanship?

    Yep, thats about right. Welcome to the world of RV's. When worked installing telephone systems years ago we use the exact stuff you are describing, its called wire mold and most big box stores will have it.

    Another Dometic failure!

    Another Dometic failure!

    my compressor is starting, theres just no refrigerant left to pump. Its lost its charge again so I' ll need a new unit. My question is sinse its under dometics 3yr warranty but out of the Heartland warranty will someone cover the labor or will i be stuck with it?

    Another Dometic failure!

    Yea unfortunetly im aware they are not repairable. I just am wondering if dometic will cover the labor to swap out the old unit for the new?

    Another Dometic failure!

    So my dometic A/C failed for the second time in as many years! It was replaced 6mnths after we purchased our sundance and once again its blowing warm air. It really ticks me off as we HAD reservations at a great ACOE campground this weekend and with temps in the middle 80's and a 8mnth old baby...

    Rim size change on my 20P RBS

    What i meant by adjusting tire size accordingly is that you would need to find a replacement tire with close to the same specs as your current ones.

    Solera Awning stopped

    So I installed the new dorman motor i got from amazon and it works great, definitely faster retracting than before. Now if this one craps out on me I'll be in a jam though as theres no longer a manual overide but for $30 I'll chance it. I may see how it works and just get another one for a spare.

    Solera Awning stopped

    So i finally got a chance to look further into the problem with my awning. I have taken multiple voltage readings at the motor, switch, even directly from the circuit breaker that feeds the awning switch and while extendibg the awning i have 13.2v but when i try to retract i only have around 12...

    Solera Awning stopped

    Yes, you pop off a cap and theres a 7/16" nut that will SLOWLY retract or extend the awning. Biggest issue i had was on my fiver its high enough it can only be reaced with a step ladder.

    Cell service - Should I stay or should I go?

    I totally agree with verizons fees but im stuck as they are the only company with coverage were i work. I'm paying just south of $200 a mnth for 8gb for two iphones and one ipad. I'd love to tell verizon to pound salt but until some competion come into my VERY rural area I'm the one with high...

    Solera Awning stopped

    Ahh ok. I'll check all those things. Now when i did check voltage at the motor it was only around 12.5v. Is that low?

    Solera Awning stopped

    Does the awning pull directly from battery's? I just assumed it pulls from the Converter. All other 12vdc accy work fine.

    Solera Awning stopped

    So the awning on my Sundance has always been very slow to retract but always did. Saturday I was at home and decided to put out the awning to let it "air out" while i puttered around the hous. Opened cabinet, hit switch and nothing. Climbed up on ladder and pulled wires off motor and had voltage...

    New landscape trailer

    If I didn't get such a good deal on the new goodyears I would've went with maxxis. I would say if you need tires right now get the maxxis, by the time there wore out maybe there will be some feedback about the endurance tires.

    Not really sure yet, really haven't been on too many trips this year. Even though they've been out for awhile now there isn't that many reviews yet.

    Goodyear Endurance tires

    I put a new set of Endurance tires on my Sundance XLT fiver this season but only have around 500 miles on them so far. Time will only tell how they'll be but my trailer guy said they are supposed to be a great tire. Guess we'll see.
