I always thought if you put the motors back in place with power attached, that they would then lock the slide in place while traveling.

A leak could certainly be possible. You could pressure test the system via a compressor and pressure gauge to see if it's holding pressure properly. If you notice that you are losing pressure, you could spray all the connections with soapy water to see if you can find the source of the leak. I...

Your vehicle's 12v system was not designed for lipo and will not output enough voltage to fully charge a lipo battery. Additionally, for your converter, I would check with the battery manufacturer for how much amperage they want flowing into the battery for charging. While I haven't worked with...

You will only get rid of the converter if you get a high end inverter that includes a converter. Most of them do not include a converter though. You will also most likely want to install an automatic transfer switch (ATS). This will handle switching between shore power and inverter power for...

Listen closely when it first comes on, if you can hear a clicking sound coming from the furnace, then it's most likely not getting propane. It will usually try three cycles before shutting off. The clicking is the ignitor trying to start the flame. If there is no clocking noise, then as BigFry...

I had a list of issues when I bought our 2021 Milestone. Luckily it was all stuff I could fix myself, even if some of the items were a bit egregious. Although this seems to be an issue across all brands, I think centerline did a good job explaining the workforce above. It all comes down to the...

Just wondering if anyone does anything specific for their GC 3 jacks? We just had one of our front jacks fail on our 2021 Milestone to the point that I couldn't even use the manual override option. There must have been something binding in the leg as it would operate normally when there was no...

The combo units are pretty hefty in weight, so there is no way I would have been able to get it into position without the help from the straps. That's a pretty tight clearance! I guess you won't have to worry about them tipping over though :).

I had to get a Washer/Dryer combo in place by myself in a space just big enough for it to slide into. In our Milestone, it went into a closet in a small bunk room just big enough for one person to stand in front of. I ended up using furniture moving straps that allowed me to pick the unit...

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking of trying this if I ever ran into another damaged floor. Sounds like I will just be sticking with replacement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would you say it was worth it given the end result? I have replaced slide subfloor in the past, and it was not fun.

The original owner tried sealing the roof with a spray type sealant. It lasted for a very short while, but then failed all of a sudden. The water damage progressed very quickly, and I soon noticed the sealing above the window was wet. I would not put any type over the floor, as that would seal...

In our previous RV that had water damage, water was leaking through a spot in the roof, traveling down the wall, and then exiting where the wall meets the floor. Wall looked perfectly fine, and I thought the window was leaking, but it turned out to be coming from the roof. I didn't have to...

I use my phone as a remote for the slide. It's really helpful for standing directly in front of the slide as it goes out, or watching it from outside in tight spaces. Obviously, if you have two people this isn't needed, but sometimes my wife is busy with other things.

I had this exact issue when we bought our Milestone. I mostly fixed the issue by caulking above and below the black bar on the bottom of the slide. It was still getting a little wet, so I watched the slide while it rained and found the water was streaming directly over some screws. I pulled the...

We bought our Milestone new, it just came with a stack of manuals for each individual appliance, nothing specific for the RV itself. If you have a question about a specific appliance, I would just Google the model number and I am sure the manual will pop up. Otherwise, like others have said, the...

Had a similar issue with our Milestone. Luckily they did not put any trim or caulk on the inside between the wall and floor in that area so the water ran through the wall and overtop the floor letting me catch it right away. Took me a while to track it down, but hopefully I caught it before it...

That seems like a lot of movement in those panels. We traveled to Alaska this summer and I do have one panel that seems to have had its staples shaken out, same thing with the other family we were traveling with. My main concern is that you are seeing panels separate and something bowing while...

Looks good. Thanks for sharing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The link to the attachment is not working. But it sounds like you used pretty thin metal, which is great because I was worried about what gauge I should go with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the same issue with my kitchen slide where the roller supports the fridge. The wheels are digging into the floor. Any tips for installing the metal sheets? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The LEDs themselves pretty much last forever, but the electronic boards that control them do not. Assuming you don’t have a short messing with the lights, I would just look for new lights you like and replace them. Couldn’t hurt to check the wires with a multimeter while you jiggle them around...

Glad you were able to get it fixed! When we bought our 2021 Milestone, we found out after the first shower that they never even screwed the P trap to the shower drain. I have mixed feelings on not having any insulation under the RV, but after having had a few leaks, I feel like it’s more hassle...

A third option you could consider that I have seen a few people do is to use Eternabond. They used thin strips to make the seal between the roof and sidewall. If you take your time, it looks pretty nice and you won’t really notice it from the ground. It won’t be a quick process to do the prep...

We have the same model and went with a ventless combo unit. It has worked surprisingly well. The clothes feel a bit damp when you take them out, but by the time you are done putting them on hangers, or folding them, they feel dry. It took some getting used to. I don’t see a way you could put a...

Best thing to do would be to recreate the full tank, and then watch to see if you can identify where the water is coming from. Best case scenario is that it’s just a loose fitting that is leaking when it got put under pressure. A cheap scope cam may help. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using...

The motors for those types of slides are usually located above the slide right in the middle. They can be seen best while the slide is in. If you ever have to actually get to the motor, you will need to pull off some of the trim. They are also occasionally located under the slide, which might be...

Sorry to hear you are having issues. We had a pretty bad leaking issue when we bought our Milestone. Every time it rained the galley slide carpet would get pretty wet. It took me a while to track down the issue, but I eventually fixed it by resealing over the factory sealant, and then stood...

If you are willing to travel, there are still good deals out there. We drove from TX to PA to save about 15k on our 2021. Not sure why it was so much cheaper than every other dealer we talked to, but it was nice to save a chunk of money. Our best theory is that it was a very small dealer, with a...

While I agree with this, how many people are testing their safety chains like this? A bit scary to think about. I wonder if Heartland would jump to inspect this or just write it off? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fingers crossed that will at least get you through the next rainstorm. My only concern would be, did the Dicor adhere and set properly given that everything was wet? Also, any thoughts on how we the insulation in the ceiling is? When I had a big leak on a previous RV, the insulation was still...

In our first RV, we removed the wall that was in the middle of the bed and then had an opening on each side of the bed. We replaced that middle wall with bookshelves on each side so the middle was open. I have seen some articles that state while the furniture is not load bearing, it may be in...

I would agree that closer to the floor would be better. As far as the slide itself goes, I’m sure you are fine. The cable driven slides usually only have alignment issues when the nuts holding the chains in place by the motor starts to loosen and shift. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had to push the screen to one side, and then gently pry the track on the other side as I slowly lifted the screen out. Not a fan of the design as it would be very easy to marr up the track or potentially break it if you aren’t careful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t say with 100% certainty, since I have never been inside your model, but in our previous travel trailer, I had to remove the very front wall due to water damage, and the skeleton of the RV itself was shaped with that curve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One screw at a time! Start looking for screws anywhere you may think that it would make sense to hold them in place. They are usually all around the perimeter. Most of the furniture is built from the inside out, and when they are done a section, they will place a piece of board over where the...

Do you have an external control panel that can be used to control the front legs and leveling system? Our OneControl has always locked the phone app once we hitched up. I always assumed it was a safety feature so someone didn't accidentally bring a slide out while going down the road.

I know dropping the underbelly can be a real pain, had to do the same thing when I thought I had a major leak, turned out to be the check valve failed on the water pump and the fresh tank was over flowing. Not sure what is holding yours up, but mine was installed with a type of nail that was a...

Usually, it's the air temperature that will change the PSI. If you filled them up in the shade, but then the next time you checked them the sun was blaring on them, the temperature of the air in the tire could have been higher causing the increase in PSI reading. If you don't already, I would...

I thought the issues with Trailer King tires were over hyped, but the ones that came with our rig lasted less than six month. Got extremely lucky and our tpms caught a slow leak as one of the tires started separating. I decided to upgrade all the tires from 12 to 14 ply and the guy at the tire...
