I have a 2015 Oakmont 345RS. I did have an Onan 5500 installed. If I have time this evening I will take a few pictures so you can get an idea of the space needed. FYI, I have dual air conditioners and the Onan 5500 handles both plus the TV going and the refrigerator without issue. C&J

Does anyone know of a cord that can be purchased to go from a Tab4 to the HDMI port on the Legend TV set in my Oakmont 345RS? Thanks in advance. C&J

Welcome Dan and Marla. Great group and fun times ahead. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Thanks. C

Any fellow Oakmont owners know the model number of their Jensen Stereo. I have the manual but it's not here with me at work. I saw some discussion about Jensen's but their drawings show an HDMI connection. Mine is connected to the television with RCA cables. Was wondering why they would use RCA...

Okay, thanks. Proof is in the pudding. I will upgrade the RCA cable and see if that improves the quality. And then run HDMI from my laptop to the back of the TV to compare. Thanks for the feedback. C

Hi had posted a week or two ago about the poor picture quality from my Legend TV. Well, I was wrong. It isn't the TV. It's the Jensen stereo. There is only the RCA cables going to the TV from the stereo. I pulled the manual on the Jensen and there is no HDMI connection. I will most likely use my...

Thanks everyone. I have a Tradesman model so it has no frills such as back up sensors or camera. Just a plain ole bumper. I will take a look underneath the bumper to see how much wire is there. I could just extend with same size wire, cut and splice. Thanks again. C

Hello all - I searched the whole Forum to post my message/query and found this might be the place. My spousal unit "kissed" a cement pillar about 1 week ago. Kissed it real good. I don't want to claim on my insurance. The impact was very low speed so I am sure there is no alignment issues or...

Mucho thankies. I think I'll also head over to the Campfire forum as well. Already found a propane finder app. :) C

Is there a forum that addresses cool apps or necessity apps that folks use on the road or when set up? Thanks in advance. c

Could it be that my tire hasnt gotten low enough? I havent seen it before 45lbs (supposed to be 65) so maybe there is a low threshold before it sounds off. C

Agree Bohemian. My 2015 doesn't warn me at all. I have had one tire/wheel consistently provide wrong air poundage. I haven't taken to dealer yet but I still have some miles before the 36K limit. C

Okay, thanks. Will have to take another look at it. C

Hey Porthole - I didn't read what material the ring is made of. In order for it to be usable to me it has to be flexible. I need to be able to stretch the new ring over the 50 amp male that plugs into the coach. C

Hi Hockster, thanks for the enlightening read. If I may intrude, what's the approximate cost of converting my 2015 Oakmont to discs? Thanks in advance.

While the group is discussing W/D's I thought I'd ask about the amount of water the typical stackable uses per load. Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Hi all; I may have missed a post that discussed plugging in your trailer to the truck, switch in the trailer on "by-pass" mode, and heading down the road. I have done this several times and the residential fridge we have is still cold, ice is still frozen and nothing is ruined. In fact, we don't...

Thanks, I will double check both units (TV and Jensen) as to their capabilities. C

Awesome, thanks so much. C

Hi Folks, looking to replace the "plastic" ring that is threaded to hold the 50amp cord to my Oakmont. I know other models have them besides Oakmont. Mine has cracked and is almost worthless. I need to replace it in case we're somewhere and it rains plus am afraid if the connection is not fully...

Well, I am used to a smart TV that is 1080. This TV is not 1080. I believe it is 720. Grainy picture. The DVD player (Jensen) has RCA jacks instead of HDMI. At least I haven't seen them. When we play a regular DVD the picture quality is not up to my expectation. C

Thanks mlpeloquin, I will check it out. C

Hi Folks, not really happy about the quality of the TV in the front room. We will both be retiring at the end of October this year and plan on using our 5th wheel way more than we are now. With the prices of the flat screens, I'd be crazy not to replace the existing one. My concern is the wall...

Hi - what exactly does Freedom Fill mean? I like the 45 gallon tank for its width and height. I don't have a cover on my bed so I might go to a locking cap. Nonetheless, I would like the aux tank to fill as the main goes down. I think that is gravity but not sure. Thanks in advance. Cary

Thanks for the response. There is no bracket so I guess I either tap into the running lights for power or tap into the backup lights at the bottom and mount on the trailer bumper. Not sure what is behind the rear wall of the trailer and fishing a line on an unknown doesn't sound like fun. Thanks...

Trying to decide if the expense of a backup camera is worth the effort and money. The state parks we've gone to are back in. My spousal unit typically gets out and assists but I was thinking a wireless cam would be wonderful. Does anyone know if the Oakmonts were prewired for a backup cam or do...

That sounds exactly what I am looking for Lynn1130. Is tailgator a brand or slang for dish sitting on the tailgate? Thanks in advance. Cary

Understood. I haven't met Mr. Westcott but we look forward to seeing everyone that we can. C&J

Hello All: this will be Janet's and my first Heartland Rally. We're all excited about the events and the days ahead. We will not arrive until Thursday around noon. We were wondering though about the Buffet at the "M", is that formal, business casual, or wear whatever? Not much for pomp and...

Wow - this is Janet's and mine first rally and we are so excited. Thank you Jim for organizing all this. We look forward to meeting as many as we can, especially those from the Arizona Chapter.

Re: EVENT: North American Heartland Rally: NV, Las Vegas - 10/6/2016 to 10/9/2016 Janet and I are so excited to be going to our first rally. We've gone camping here and there but this is a horse of a different color. Lots to do and see in Vegas. I most excited about meeting new folks, starting...

Morning all: maybe I'm missing something here. My Oakmont came with a plug for the 4 inch hole, its hard plastic with a handle. I only take it out when needed to run a hose. Are you talking about long term camping where the hole is exposed for days on end?

Are there set intervals for changing those bearings and seals? I did own a Keystone Cougar before my Heartland Oakmont purchase. I did the Cougar bearings at about the 4 year mark. They looked to be in good shape. However, I will caveat that statement by saying we did weekend outings, no more...

Yes, the top drawing is what I thought was the correct switch to turn on when only on batteries and driving. Is that a wrong assumption

Hi Folks - read the posts on this thread discussing batteries. One reply caught my attention. I guess my question is, while I am towing my Oakmont 345RS (with 2 batteries), isn't the truck charging the batteries as needed? I switch on the By-Pass switch once hooked to the truck and off I go...

Thanks folks. Our next trip will include our 5th wheel and I wanted to be sure that there are plenty of RV parks that would provide the bare necessities. Sounds like there are plenty to choose from. Again, many thanks for taking the time to repond. Safe travels.

Hi Folks - thinking of Las Vegas and rather than stay in hotel rooms, would prefer to pull my Oakmont. Anyone have good experiences up Vegas way? Although only for 4/5 nights, price hopefully won't exceed $50 a night. Full hook-up nice, but not required. If they have shuttles to the strip I...

Thought I would add this link referencing the refridge recall. http://www.thetford.com/customer-support/recall-information/ not sure how old it is, there was no date on the site.

Hi and welcome to the Wide, Wonderful and sometimes Wacky world of Heartland. You never mentioned your tow vehicle and that will most assuredly be a deciding factor in selecting your new Heartland should you decide that way. I have a website that I refer to when someone mentions buying a new...
