I bought the Rec Tec Trailblazer a couple of months ago. I also looked at a Traeger of similar size and they did not seem to be built as well. I can still get this grill up into the front storage by myself but an assistant makes it easier. I bought mine after eating some food off of one in LA...
I can see your point for sure. I am not defending Heartland at all here. We have issues with our BC. But seriously, this guy is ****** because he has to vacuum if you read his posts. Vacuum. I can vacuum, watch NASCAR, and drink a beer at the same time for petes sake.
Sorry to see that you are having issues. The industry needs to change the name for these trailers from towables to parkables. It seems more and more that calling these trailers towables is a lie. We hear more and more stories out there as we travel from people who have been turned down on...
We are parked underneath one now for the next couple of months. It has already dropped a branch big enough to put a dent in the bed rail of the pickup. Every day so far we hear the smaller branches landing on the roof. I appreciated the reminder to keep the coils clear of the cotton.
Asking your trailer to be vacuumed for you after purchase and as a warranty item is ridiculously unreasonable. Sounds to me like you did not do a good pre delivery inspection, if you did one at all. You should be angry at yourself for that and not the Americans that built it that you seem to...
I have ours set on 6.5. I have played around with the settings off and on over the last 5K miles. One thing I have noticed is that at 7 and above the trailer brakes work so well it doesn't allow the pickup to downshift and help slow down during braking in tow/haul mode. I haven't come done a...
One of the advantages to having the elevated living room is that we are not cooling as much air and space. Much like the bedroom but at both ends. One thing I noticed was that air was only coming out one side of each vent. The vents were so far up in the ceiling that it had to go over the front...
Without any deliberation at all, and honestly we reached this decision with much selfishness, we think you should swing through Colorado on your way home so we can have some more of these!! Telling us no would be horrible and in our opinion not really an option.
I am interested in your experience with the shocks off. I am thinking of replacing ours already but am not sure what to get. I was also thinking of having the mounts moved to make the shocks more effective.
In the past when we have needed AC we have always just set the fan speed on high and left things alone. Mostly because we have been in high humidity areas and any setting less than high would freeze up the units. We are now in 90 degree weather with 20 percent humidity and have been playing...
If def usage to total miles improved the system would not be operating correctly. It sounds like the general consensus among all brands is a tank of def per oil change. That is what we experience. I never have the dealer top me off at oil change. I monitor that and fill up at about half of the...
One Honda 2000 will do what you are asking to do. You need the companion to do more like run the AC. The Honda's are pretty easy on fuel as well. When we are at NASCAR events, both of them need to be refueled about every 6-8 hours running full tilt with our AC on. Make sure you plan for a way to...
We had a SunTek film HP15 installed on our Oakmont. It made a huge difference. Had a commercial installer come to our site and put it on. When we get our BC done we will not go as dark as before and will opt for the clear film.
Depends on what you are towing with. If you have an exhaust brake you should have no issues. Braking on a steep incline can be stressful for sure unless you know what you are doing and then maybe. Learn the "stab" braking method. My rule is I never go down a long incline faster than I went up...
If we are on a lvl site we still put the jacks down while hooked up for stability. I also do not like putting the slides out if the gear is not down but I don't think it matters much.
Hawk pads are the way to go IMO. Our F350 squeaks the same as you are describing. I have hals pads left and three stealerships have refused to put new ones on saying the brakes are just fine.
We have found that putting blocks under the jacks and using x chocks takes most of the movement out of ours. We still feel a bit but the overhang on the rear of ours is a lot so I don't think there is much more we could do.
I have this: https: https://www.portercable.com/products/power-tools/air-compressors/6gallon-oilfree-pancake-compressor/c2002
I mostly got this one so I could run my air tools when the better half wants a mod done or i need to reattach trim etc. I didnt want a compressor that had to run all the...
Tire wear of the type you are describing is under inflation. From Firestone: In contrast to center wear, edge wear may occur when tires are under-inflated. If you’re driving on tires that are under-inflated, the edge of the tires will make the most contact with the road, causing the edges to...
I put these on instead. They are the same size as the oem magnetic ones that hold my curb side door open. I installed the last one in a position that it works for the propane door as well. I even put one on the inside of the propane door in case it is open and I need to get into storage.
Are you able to monitor your def level? My ford only tells me when it is good or under half. I know not everyone believes in getting a monitor but I do. My Edge showed me when our pickup was stuck in regen last year. I monitor two different egt sensors and when the exhaust temp holds at about...
On our BC the carrier is back quite far as well. We live in ours and travel and have not scraped it on any driveways. The key is to take the steep driveways at an angle so you do not bottom out.
I used to do satellite installs for a living. I carry all the tools needed to do the job. I offer my services to those in need. Almost 100 percent of issues with RV's are the ends and the splitter's. A couple of weeks ago our neighbors had connection issues in their motor-home. Three new...
Welcome to this time consuming frustrating club. We have the same issue. I have tightened all the exterior screws on our BC three time since we bought it last Oct. Right now I am doing it again but I am coating the threads with silicone adhesive in hopes they stay in. I am also doing that...
