Hello all, We are fairly new to the forum and I just found this thread! We are not camping but we are in town for the illumination! This is the only trip we stay in a motel but next year, should yo all do this again we will join you in the campground. We have a new Elkridge 5th wheel. Where...

Thanks Jamie.... When I see what my wife's work schedule is we will see if we can make it!

Hello all... I am a new Heartland owner and we are wondering about the rally. I am looking at the dates and my wife needs to confirm her time off from work. It would be our first ever rally. Are they kid friendly? We have a 9 year old. We stay at Rambling Pines every Halloween with a group from...

I like the idea of the panel... My wall in my fifth wheel basement is one piece all the way across and it is a pain in the lower backside (quite literally) to work in there removing it. So a panel it will be. Thanks for the ideas folks, I see a trip to Home Depot coming up later next week!

I just winterized my 2011 Elkridge 29bhck. I had issues removing the panel to get to the valves that needed to be turned to allow the pump to transfer the antifreeze to the plumbing. Is there an easier way? I am thinking of cutting the panel into two pieces and attaching a backing to the side...

Just bought another weapon for concealed carry. A Springfield XDs .45acp.... It is a 6+1 .45 in a compact 4.5 inch tall by 6.3 inch long by 1 inch thick package. Will start carrying after 500 rounds go thru it. So my work is cut out for me next week!

I live in Maryland, and as the original posting stated we are not able to carry here. I have both a Florida and a Utah permit. Since I travel to Florida more so then out west I needed the Florida since they do not recognize other Non-Resident permits there. I usually have a laptop but always...

My 08 2500 had an issue with the Engine Performance sensor.... I removed the sensor from the casting on the upper radiator hose, cleaned it with carb cleaner, cleaned the bowl that the sensor sits in, removed the stainless 3/8 inch tube from the side of the casting and the exzhaust manifold and...

I am looking for input into campgrounds in Florida that are either Ocean Front or Gulf Front. Anyone have any ideas for a great private park that is child friendly and right on the beach, or at least beachfront? I appreciate your responses. We are heading there in early April.

I bought a Surge Guard portable 50 Amp protector, a plug in volt meter and a lock box.... So that should take care of it, I hope!

Thanks TXBob and Ed.... I will be getting the 50A Surge Protection.... Have the water side covered, just the electrical side had my head spinning! Thanks again for the input!!

I have a new Elkridge 5th wheel camper. It has 50 amp service. We only have one A/C unit, a 32 inch TV, Fridge, gas/Elect. water heater and Micro. I have stayed at places that only have 30 amp service. I know I can adapt down for power. I know I can not run everything at once as well, so...

Well we returned today from our "virgin" outing with our new Elkridge... The Air Bags worked like a champ! The Load Lifter 5000 was worth the money. 55 PSI and the ride was normal, no bounce and the trailer traveled like a champ! So I guess my issue is solved.

We just bought our first 5th wheel, a 2011 29BHCK at a really good price. WE came from a 27 ft BunkHouse TT and conceded a sleeping (giving up a dinette in lieu of a table/chairs) but we think we will be very happy with our purchase. Our first outing is this weekend from the Baltimore area to...

I have a Dodge Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins 4x4. WE just bought a 2011 Elkridge 29BHCK. All of the weights are within the acceptable range, however the pin weight is almost at the tip of my cargo rating when the camper is loaded. When I brought it home the other day it seemed to bounce the truck a...

Thanks for the welcom TT.... We sign paperwork today, sometime in the next few days they will install my hitch then I tow mt travel trailer in for the trade and bring home the new 5th! We have 3 more trips, local to semi local before the end of the season so what a way to breake her in!

Since my original post below, I know carry a Springfield XD-S .45acp in an IWB holster similar to cross breed or an OWB belt slide holster. It is a bit slimmer then the MP9C and hides almost as easily as the LCP. The M&P9C is now my nightstand gun. M&P9C with a crossbreed super tuck or Phil...

I have a protable key locking vault that wraps around something stable with a cable fastened in the vault. When in a non friendly state the gun and mag go into that vault. It is stored, locked in an area where I can not reach while driving. I have to exit the vehicle to get to the vault. When I...

No laser... Strictly Night Sights!

Mostly it is my Smith and Wesson M&P9C in a Crossbreed Supertuck or my Phil Bernie Conceal Max pro.... Sometimes it may be my Ruger LCP in a wallet holster. In the rig I have the M&P in my nightstand and the wife has the Glock 19 in hers.

Wow, we just bought the same camper from our local dealer. We take delivery next week. Wish us luck! It is our first 5th wheel and we traded a very nice TT so we could gain a little more room and get some better towing response from the new rig! Peace and good luck! Mike Elkridge, Md!

We just bought our first 5th wheel! It is an Elkridge 29BHCK. We will be travelling local or somewhat local thru November so we hope to get used to it before the trip to Florida next spring. Trading our TT (which has been good to us) for the 5th and am looking forward to some better towing with...
