Double check your trailer. Check around the stairs by the door. The stairs may not fit as they fold inside the trailer. They will not fit my Bighorn unless the stairs are modified. I know nothing about your particular model. I also know nothing about the model of stairs that you are asking...

If you have the electric landing jacks, yes, they need to be lubed. But doing this is very difficult. There is an inner jack screw that runs on a large nut to raise and lower the front of the trailer.

There is a junction box behind the pin box. This is where the connection is made between the plug cable and the rest of the 12 volt system ( brakes, battery, break away cable, lights ). Start here with the checking and the diagram provided.

There is another option for reinforcing the spring hangers. Some people have welded a plate over the open end of the hanger. Some have gone farther and welded and angle iron or square tube across the width of the trailer closing the open end also.

Maybe, it's hard for me to tell.

Here is a picture with some dimensions. Hope this helps. As far as the -003 part number, I see that she might be confused. The -003 bolts right to the bolt that holds the equalizer. You have to remove the equalizer bolt and add a longer bolt ( which comes in the kit ). The -003 has a totally...

As you may know, there are different X-factors for the Correct track and the non - Correct track/equalizers. The ones for the Correct track hang down 2" below the underbelly but are closer right where they attach to the hanger. The ones for the equalizer also run across the underbelly and leave...

This may not be possible but this is one method for determining plastic types. If you can get a small piece of the tank ( maybe by scraping ) and burn it, polyethylene smells like paraffin wax. - - - Updated - - -

Some welding kits come with a variety of welding rods for different plastics. Just because a tank is black doesn't necessarily mean that its ABS. Good luck.

The fix is to mount fans not a fan. You can run the fans with the existing thermostat or with a new one. The thermostat is mounted on the top fins or the piping adjacent to the fins. This can be done with hose clamps or screws to the fins. I would not use a switch to turn the fans on and off as...

Pull the wheel and do some checking. Before you do that when the truck is elevated, shake the tire at the 3-9 position and the 6-12 position to see if you have any play.

This has happened to me. The problem is the anode rod in the water heater. Anode rods can be either aluminum or magnesium. Under certain conditions, there is a reaction that creates sulfur compounds. This stuff is harmless but you get the sewer gas smell. Flush the water heater and change the...

Pretty good. I think that will do the job. I added the Morryde X factor, which are kind of similar, as I did not trust my welding skills.

Winterizing is not a big deal. If you use compressed air or antifreeze in either case it will not take you more that 10 or 15 minutes. Antifreeze at Walmart is around $3/gallon. I use the antifreeze method and not compressed air. So if you have to do it twice, it will not kill you. Your...

Many of us have the lifetime pass. Used to be $10 have no idea what it now costs.

Is this where the rubber roof meets the fascia? If it is, I filled this void with Dicor. I suppose that you could use the tape.

When you go out to the movie or to get a good steak, do you take your dog with you? Some people live in their RV and just do not go "camping".

I did exactly that. Two Aero fans on top and one on the bottom. I attached the thermostat to the fins at the top. You can get the thermostat from several places even Amazon ( google RV fan thermostat ). Just zip tie the fans to the vents. Keep the existing metal baffle in place. This directs air...

I just installed the Morryde X Factor with Correct Track. It took over a month to get them. However, they are just bolt on and not to difficult to install. These tie the spring hanger together without welding. Since I ordered them they have had a price increase.

Attach the fans right on the vent door. They do not have to be angled. Use zip ties. Most of us have the metal baffle that is there to direct air over the fins. The fans right on the vent door will suck the trapped air out of the top of the chamber behind the fridge. As I mentioned, I added a...

I replaced an axle a short while back. I purchased the axle from a local trailer repair. This repair shop sold both Lippert and Dexter axles. They showed me the difference and let me decide. The Dexter axles were made with thicker steel than the Lippert. The things they need to know is the...

Even though your TV says RF ( or maybe you are misreading this ) these are digital channels. Very few analog channels are being broadcast over the air. If you can only watch the "other" channels you probably have as setting someplace on your TV that will switch between digital and analog...

I added three fans to the backside. two at the top and one at the bottom, and a new thermostat. I left the existing fans in place. The bottom blows in and up and the top fans blow out. I also sealed off around the top of the fridge so it does not trap air around the top. Here is one way to do...

Are you referring the the fans IN the refrigerator or the fans Behind the refrigerator?

I have added screens to all vent openings in the side of the trailer ( furnace, water heater. refrigerator ) just to keep bees out. As far as the roof, there is a plumbing vent cover called a 360 Siphon. These have a built in bug screen. These are available just about everywhere. I am sure that...

I get these type of e-mails almost daily. From FedEx, Netflix, Paypal, Amazon telling me my account is restricted or whatever. ( I don't have a Netflix account ) Log on the update your account. Very official looking documents. I just got a phone call from the Social Security Administration...

Yes, I have installed the 360 vent cover. It seems to help.

The quick disconnect fitting that you are having problems with is aluminum. These will have a bit of galvanic action with the brass. The solution may be that you have to replace.

If you are referring to a sag in the roof, I also have this a little bit. The roof material is not sealed where it meets the inside fascia. From a fully open slide, close it slightly so that you can get on a stool and check this out from inside the trailer. Fill this gap the full length of the...

Yes, they work.

Soon you will find out that the grey water smells just about as bad as the black water. There is all kind of things that get into the grey water and decompose ( food particles, skin oils, dead cells etc ). I am pretty sure that you have a "p" trap somewhere. If no P trap, then you have a Hepvo...

Bearing Buddy is a grease jerk and dust cap in one. You already have that on your trailer if you have the Easy Lube axles. If you don't, as has been pointed out, This ain't a boat trailer.

There are a few Youtube videos that show how to do this. Here is one of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7F6HRn_4cQ

Two ways to fix an Anderson valve 1. Buy a replacement core, which comes with new O rings. 2. Replace the entire valve with a new updated brass version, which, supposedly, does not fail.

Tredit. That is where I got mine too.

If your slide was out, it is possible to have a leak where the slde roof meets the inner fascia. For some reason, Heartland does not seal the slide roof where it meets the inner fascia/trim. Water can leak past the wiper seal on the roof and get into this gap. To check for this. with a fully...

Why do you feel that you need an auxiliary fuel supply? I believe that any route you take has fuel stations?

There are a couple youtube videos on how to take this apart.

You do not have to replace the antisiphon valve, just bypass it. A lot of us have done this. Just bypass the valve by cutting the water line to it. Splice into the line going to the black tank. Add a check valve into the flush water line just after it enters the UDC fitting. My valve did not...

I would think that if you have some carpentry skills this would not be too difficult.
