I was able to pull enough slack in the cable to install the EMS in my BH. In hindsight, I should have bought wire. It would make it easier to remove the EMS. Ernie

I run my air bags at 60 psi. I do think that my pin is heavier. Ernie

Raemoore, the only problem with it running in your storage yard will be your battery. The circuit board in the fridge needs 12 volts. Your battery will only last a one or two days. Ernie

I have had the same thing happen to my BH. Like Bob said, it's rust. As long as it one or two stops, i would not worry about it. If it is more, I would have it checked out. Ernie

Before you go out and buy some new hose. Check behind the UDC where the pump is. On the older Heartlands they had hose in back for winterizing. Ernie

Either you have some debris in the line or your foot vale is out of adjustment. Ernie

I would say Ford, but the best advice I can give you is that they both make good trucks that will pull the fifth wheel. Since you are buying at an auction, I would look at all the trucks up for auction and find the best ones to bid on, whether Ford or Chevy. Ernie

I would charge the batteries and then have them load tested. It is very possible to have a bad battery. If you have true battery defect, it shows up right away. If you have a multi-meter, you could check the alternator output. You also should check the battery connections. As other have...

I am just thinking out loud. Could you build a closet in the garage? I also think others have used space bags. Ernie

Ivan, I would try to get a carpet cleaner and clean it. Otherwise, you may try to spray some Febreze. Ernie

RTRT94, It is ok to step on toe's or go over someones head. You Just need to do it nice. It sounds like that is what was done. Now that Heartland is up to speed things should move better. Ernie

I think all the manufacturers have this problem. When the tanks were mounted above the floor, it was not a issue. They all moved the tanks under the floor so there would be more storage and floor space. Ernie

I do not think I have ever seen a strap for a tank come off like that. I would call Heartland with your VIN. If you take it to your dealer, they may hold it for few weeks while they wait for parts from Heartland. I would get Heartland on the phone first before you go to the dealer. Ernie

Sorry for your loss. As others have said, it's good to hear no one was injured. Could you have towed the trailer home? If you could have towed the trailer home safely, I would have brought it home. It makes it a lot easier to remove your belongings and extras that you put on the trailer. I...

Maybe you lost a roller? you will need to get with Heartland on Monday. Also be sure to after all is fixed that the plywood is sealed. Ernie

I was thinking that was how it worked. I would think if it opened up and got wet, it would close. Thanks! Ernie

Thanks, everyone. I am similar to you, caissiel, I have had mine since 2002. I am not full-time, I'm a weekend warrior and one or two weeks a year. I also keep them sealed both ends and bring them inside in the winter. I just hate to spend money on something that is working fine. Ernie

If my fan is on when it starts to rain, the fan closes and turns off. How does it know when it is done raining and can open again? Thanks! Ernie

How long do you keep a fresh water hose? When I asked at the dealer, I was told two years. The ones I have do not leak. They hold their shape, so I think they are fine, but I'd like some other opinions. Thanks! Ernie

When I did some plumbing work, I put a valve for both low point drains with hot water bypass. I also left the valves that Heartland had on, so my low point drains are empty. This way they will not freeze up in cold weather. I bought the valves at Home Depot. I think I have some pictures and will...

I would also check your outside and inside showers. If they shut off by the handle and not the hot and cold water valves, I think they will also mix the water. Ernie

I would call Heartland with your vin number and ask them about the ladder. I have seen other install them on rvs that did not come from the factory. Ernie

Just as Jim said. I have Goodsam. Gives you a discount at many places. Ernie

I just keep the roof vent in the bathroom open. I have vent cover so rain does not come in. It does make the bathroom dirty, but it cleans up. This year it has been hotter then normal. I also opened the wind by my table. I have it opened a bit. When I was at the dealer they had same window...

Re: Connections Wanted I may be wrong, but I thought the tours were first come first serve. The pavilion is cool. When I was there, you could get in some of the equipment. But bar none the factory tour was way better. I know on the construction side they have what is called a gold key. When you...

Same with me. all ways down. Never had a problem. On my last sob I had blinds and never had a problem with them. Ernie

Re: Curved Couch Dilema (now with pics) What if the two center's where turned 90 degrees.

I am not a where of anyone having this problem. Yes you should call Heartland and have you vin number. Ernie

N2snow2, I do not think anything that anyone would say or do would make you happy. But I am sorry you feel the way you do. You said this was your first RV. You bought a mid-price range RV and one that is made for a price point. Therefore, you have not been down the road of how the RV industry...

Re: Slide out issue Great to find out what was wrong and it got fixed. Ernie

Good to see two things get fixed with one part. I hope the repair guy put in a brass one. If not, keep a good eye on the new one so it does not melt again. Ernie

I would put more in the front. You do not want to run them low and have the tires overheat. On my F250, I keep 60 in the front and 55 in the rear when not towing. I put 80 on all four when towing. I got 93,000 miles on the factory tires before I needed to change them. I also never had a tire...

Hi Sean, as the other have said. If you still can not find it, let me know. you are not that far from me. I can come buy and help you find it and or do the install. Ernie

Hi, kellyboy, welcome to the forum. I'm not sure where the circuit breakers are at on the 2005 Landmark, but on my BH they are under red caps just above the battery. You may just have to trace the hot wire to feed them. They are circuit breakers that can be reset. If you have 12 volts at the...

Re: Slide out issue It does sound like something broke. Could it be a shear pin that holds the drive gear to the motor? As far as the slide coming out when traveling, I'm not sure. I would find a way to get some heavy duty ratchet straps to keep the slide out from moving. Ernie

First of all, DeadGreg, I'm glad you came to the forum for some help. Part of what I said about the adapter was wrong. Danemayer is right, I had a mental lapse. I have 50 amp service that I put in at my house. That is two 50 amp cuircits, each 110v. Dan, at this park they only had 50 amp...

Have you put some weight on the shelves? I think that when you are towing the shelf is bouncing around and then falls. With stuff on the shelf weight of stuff on the shelf will keep it from moving. Just my 2 cents Ernie

RCF, I think most have the hardwired. I installed the hardwire on my BH. It was not hard. I do not know your electrical abilities, so it may be easy or hard for you. If you do not know what you are doing with electricity, I recommened you take it to someone. I also think most that have installed...

DeadGreg, were you at Pirolli? If so, I was the BH owner that talked you at the dump station. Looks like others have given you great advice. As far as the adapter from 50 to 30 amp, the adapter was only using one leg of the 50 amp. That would only give you 25 amps. Pirolli has been the first...

Hi, Govervn, What size generator are you using? My guess is it does not have watts to run your a/c. Ernie
