I've got a weird one for you: I was experiencing a low number of channels available on the bedroom TV. Occasionally I would get more channels, but then sometimes I would get less. We have USB ports next to our bed and I found that if I had a device charging from one of those USB ports, I...

Absolutely. Don't bother buying the kits to rebuild the valve, or seals, rings, etc. Just buy the complete bottom pedestal piece.

I have never exchanged, but it's certainly an option.

I'm sorry about your blowout problem. Many have had similar issues. Tire pressure is only one factor that may lead to this situation. Road hazards, age of tire, load, etc., and all could have a factor in the problem. I sure can't estimate the repair cost for such damage, I doubt that anyone...

I would advise doing an extensive search, reaching all areas of your coach, to look for signs of melting wires or burn scars. You didn't indicate if you're hooked to shore power but, if so, you can isolate areas by turning off breakers to identify a culprit. The same is true for fuses on the...

The "stock" heating system is not zoned and therefore does not partition heating. Don't forget that you may also need to heat the basement to prevent freezing of the water systems, if you're dealing with such temperatures. If you're staying at Walmarts, then it is likely there are campgrounds...

Mine shrunk, as well. I just decided not to worry about it. But, maybe I'll take Dave's advise and checkout Steele.

If the igniter is clicking, then I think the fan has activated the sail switch; The ignitor thinks the fan is running and propane has been asked for and delivered for ignition. If, for whatever reason, there is no ignition the fan and ignitor give up and shut down the heater. Anyway, that's...

Is your stove, water heater and/or refer working on propane? Recheck what you think you may know about your propane supply? You may just have some residual air in the line.

I would look at your ground wires on both vehicles. Where are you measuring to get your 7 Vdc? Truck side or camper side? There is a bunch of expertise on this forum and connecting to, and charging of, your camper certainly fits within the imaginary boundaries of a Heartland-Forum issue.

You're giving way too much credit to the intelligence of the sensor systems when they don't actually work, at least past the sale. There is absolutely no communications between the sensors and the water pump, thank goodness. If there is water in the fresh water tank, then the pump should draw...

I don't believe that Heartland is your problem. You indicated that you're "back to Campers World" (I'm assuming it's really Camping World) and you're probably not in the priority category that you would like at that location. Heartland will authorize an RV mobile company to execute the repairs...

You can absorb the cost of transporting the rig to Indiana, if you're out of the original warranty, but I would choose to be there to explain and, in general, oversee the repair. I'm not at all suggesting your repairs would be at no charge to you, but I believe it's your best chance to get...

Just about anyone can understand your frustration. Your questions, however, should be addressed directly with Heartland and/or someone who is licensed to provide legal counseling. Counsel would also be able to advise you on any "Lemon Law" options. In my opinion, I would work with Heartland...

I installed THIS unit. But (no pun intended), I had to use adaptive means because the included connection piece was a bit too long. I have the PEX tool, so this wasn't an issue. I didn't look for "Shark" options.

Clean the repair area extremely well, use alcohol as the final cleaner, and then use Eternabond TPO repair tape. Be absolutely sure that you place the tape in the desired position from the beginning because the tape cannot be removed without damage to the roof membrane. The tape adheres...

Happy that you were able to discover the issue and restore power to your rig. As far as wondering what else may be waiting, you don't know what you don't know, so never worry twice.

What is failing on the air conditioners? Or rather what are the symptoms? Does the compressor come on, fan doesn't run, etc?

The front cap shape may make it difficult for short bed hauling. Anyway: Check out this tour.

There is a proximity switch located within the door that activates the mating element under the door stoop. The "brain" unit is typically located behind the basement panel near the steps.

Waste/water tank heaters..."Yeti" winter package. Don't operate the heaters with empty tanks as they will likely melt the tanks.

Check the seals on your doors and, if it's a two-door, check the flap between the doors. Feel the cooling fins to see if they are cold.

When my Norcold 2118 experienced the embarrassing "Yellow Stain of Death", I turned to the good folks at JC Refrigeration, and installed an amish-built cooling unit as an alternative to OEM. My wife helped me remove the old refrigerator and a friend helped rotate the fridge so that the cooling...

The far-reaching, linked, repeater systems have been frustrating for me due to the large number on HAMS that use the system. There is a usually a lot of voice traffic and for which I have little interest in listening to. Amateur radio can be a fun hobby, but seems to be waining due to other...

The key to getting a well built coach is to avoid emotional attachment during your introduction to the unit. It's a must to wipe the excitement away and look objectively at every detail. Even by doing this through pre-delivery inspection you are likely to still have some problems, but you have...

The drain is likely full of hair. Use a hair grabber--any hardware store--for cleaning drains. The drain cap should pop right off.

It seems that when one judges, others pile on.

I don't want to appear insensitive, but there is nothing new here. If you have an RV at a dealer for months on end, pending warranty repair, then I would say an owner is partially at fault. There are alternatives to leaving your rig at a dealer, and those that Heartland supports. You can even...

A VOM is your friend.

Have you referred to the manual? If you don't have one, google for one or check on YouTube for troubleshooting. Perhaps you'll get lucky with a video.

See if it works on propane.

The factory stems are too small for the higher pressure wheels, same on my GMC. Mine do not read pressures higher than 100 psi, as well. Amazon has some TPMS sensors that work.

Heartland markets that connector as a "solar interface" where you can directly plug in a solar panel charging system. I use the battery disconnect and then attach a trickle charger to the inlet.

Have you checked your regulator with a gauge, or just relying on the setting to determine 50psi?

Because something is done in a particular manner, doesn't mean it always has to be done in the same manner. Nice job.

I unscrew the anode rod and let it drain. If you want faster results, lift up on the lever for the overpressure valve to allow a vent source.

Routemaster, you are on the right track. After removing the facia, you must remove all the screws that attach the slide out ceiling to the header. Once that is done, lift the roof and then reattach the header to the new, higher, position. Some have reversed the "crown" of the header to reduce...

Research the web for your refrigerator's manual. The answers you're looking for will likely be there.

On my 2017 Bighorn the slide has a rubber, EDPM, material.

Cody Hockenberry <Cody.Hockenberry@heartlandrvs.com> You Good Morning, I have just herd back from our engineering depart on a repair solution for your sagging roof. I will copy and paste their response in yellow. I hope this information helps aid you in your repair. Remove top facia and...
