Leaking outside of the valve, but can't see where it's coming from due to foam sealant. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Has anyone had an issue with their plastic HWH bypass valve leaking? (similar to the old Anderson valve issue)

Good idea on weight distribution John. He did say they looked that way on the dealers lot. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Warranty? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I would still weigh both sides at a public scale. Our refuse transfer station hub has scales and will let us check trailer weight free on an weekday. Public scales are everywhere. I came through Montana and Wyoming this past summer and side winds gave us a very uncomfortable lift that looked...

Agreed, also, if you were towing much heavier on one side it could be unstable in high side winds. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

My suggestion is to go to a scale and weigh each side independently. If there is a big difference from side to side you may need to add a leaf to each axle on the heavy side. That would be if the manufacturer agreed to fix it under warranty. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Are your equalizers level? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Measure between the top of the axle and the frame. Cut a straw on the high side, both axled, then compare to the low side. Are your tanks empty? Water tank too? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Mine does that too. Always thought it was designed that way. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Be aware of tire max pressure when temps are high. My tires said 125 psi cold max so that was what I used. On more than one occasion TPMS indicated 147psi when it was 103 degrees outside. Max for the tire was 150psi. Now, after listening to the Coop truck tire guru, I inflate them to 115psi...

If it has 120v power it has a breaker or plug. Nothing is wired directly to shore power. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Not sure on that model, but locate the 120v breaker or plug that powers the charger and unplug or throw the breaker. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Check with Lippert Components. They have more than chassis parts. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Be sure to do a voltage drop, based on amps, length, and wire size. You can low volt and mess up your charger or inverter, If you are drawing on a 15 amp circuit, 50' using a 14/3 extension cord, it could get pretty hot.

How many 120 v circuts can you access? Not just plugs, but maybe two outlets on two different breakers? Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

After two blowouts, August 13th, yep a Friday and an hour after getting back on the road between them, we hit the closest RV park and changed everything, including ditching internal Ford TPMS. I was quick to stop but no clue from Ford. Now using TST pass through and they have been great. Sent...

Spare?. If not at the same time, when? If you wait until the next replacement cycle, the spare is 10 years old. If you put it on the ground at 7,8 or 9 years old, how safe will that be? I know I'm jaded on this topic, but risk/reward for me is too high. Once bitten.... Chad and Tara from...

What's the difference between 5 or 6 years? For us it was bad news. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

They were all Sailun manufactured in October 2016, if I remember correctly. Unit is a 2017 delivered in January, ordered at the 2016 Tampa show and fresh from the factory. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

AND, I will be changing all 5 every 4.5 years or sooner, based on wear from now on. I can buy 3 sets for what this day cost, not to mention being full time and the time needed to repair much of it at the dealer, we'll have to move out for ?? weeks! Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Yes, yes, yes. TPMS was fine until I heard the pops. 130's psi +‐, 130's temps in upper 90's weather. High, but within range. Just wasn't aware of the 5 year rule. Had 2 days of 40+mph side winds and the Coop Tire manager said that and being beyond safe age was likely the cause. We were heavy...

If they are 5 years old, miles are not the issue. 2 of my 5 year old Sailuns blew at less than 10,000 miles. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Don't forget to have TPMS on the spare and your truck spare. Flat spare tire sucks. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Just currious, were they made in 2019? I got some in 2016 but they were made in 2015 and even with good tread they started blowing this year. Our tire guy said 5 years and change under heavy use. Maybe a little longer under limited use and covered when parked. I've had them last longer but it's...

Angle jack. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Angle jack with head under rear axle shackel and jack sideways. Don't lift, push. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Short answer, yes. But if you are looking for an option, see if you can get to the back side of the nose cap, at the crack. That may be through the closet. I have a Newport so don't know your design. If you can, see if you can get a fiberglass repair tech (boat is great) then they can fix the...

Heartland uses 14/3 black extension cord between the frame and where it goes up into the slideout floor. They terminate in a 4x box in the slide or a single gang shallow expanded box and run romex to receptacles. Romex is run from the panel to a J-box on the frame, then the cord in split wire...

I would run #1 or 1/0 wire to a 12 volt to 110 volt inverter in the front bay and 14/2 w/G romex to the fridge for 110 volt power if its not in the slide. The higher the voltage, the smaller the wire size. Running romex would be easier and cheaper. I just had to rewire mine in the kitchen slide...

I would be interested if other Newport owners have the same issue. I did a little more investigating and wonder if the location of the power reel has any effect or if it restricts a good outrigger location. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I used to build RV's and the outriggers in that area look fine. The only other possibility is a cross member buckled but that would require removing the Coroplast to see. That's why I posted, looking for a shortcut to not tear into the underbelly. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

No, between I-beam and wall/slide. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

I felt that the floor of our Newport was off level so I pulled out a 4' level to check. Between the I-beams is level but from the I-beam to the wall has a 3/4-1" drop on the road side at the rear in the living room. I checked outriggers and saw no deformation so I at a loss to explain. The main...

Then I would check the ground wire, test batteries, as previously suggested by others, then call Lippert. They can walk you through steps to run down the issue. 574-537-8900. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

The leveling jacks shutting off is likely a weak minibreaker, but not if it works okay when on shore power. If you have the same problem plugged in or not, and have a lippert leveling system, give them a call and they will walk you through replacing it. Cheap part. Still, check the batteries...

All good comments. My doctor once said when you hear hoof beats, don't think zebras. I'm sure that answers to these posts will give you a good starting point. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Basic questions... How old is your battery (s)? Did you have it tested? What does the inverter run when traveling? Have you checked the positive wire from your vehicle? It should charge the battery and run small inverter loads. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

Dryers are usually very lightweight. My first thought is to look at how they are connected when they are matching pairs and look for similarities in location of fastners. May get lucky. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
