    I'm back!

    Re: It’s been a great ride! Boy, this is a shocker. I agree with the post #6 by ‘Lil Guy’, “No Jim Beletti sounds like no Heartland Owners Club to me” I agree with his whole post. The wheels have fallen off the wagon. Jim, you were the moving force (founding father) of this organization, you...

    Fuel Discounts

    Used my new card 1st time on way home from Alabama 2 days ago. I’m a believer, saved total of $64.92 on 4 fill ups. The system works great. Thanks Jim Pavlinik for talking me into this. Takes bout 3 weeks to set up and receive your card in mail. Well worth the time invested. Hockster

    Bedroom Air-conditioning Thermostat

    I found a u tube video of resetting the thermostat. It’s a Dometic & you hold down the up & down temp buttons at the same time. That will change stat from F to C or C to F Hockster

    Bedroom Air-conditioning Thermostat

    I have a friend who purchased a used Elkridge 5 wheel and is having problems with bedroom air-conditioning thermostat. It goes to max of 32°, I assume is Centigrade. Why is that, and how do we change it. Hockster

    VIAIR Compressor versus tank compressor

    I had an issue one time with a leaking tire, ended up as bad rim. I was on I-65 and noticed tire losing air on my TST Tire monitor. I was between fueling stations and had to go into an RV park and ask permission to use a pull through site with electric so I could use my 120 volt air compressor...

    Older Heartland RV's and Propane Tanks

    D.O.T. law changed on 23 January 2017 to 10 years. If you do a Google search using “requalification guidance for propane cylinders” it shows tank markings and requalification procedures. Hockster

    No 12v power disconnected from shoreline power

    Just a thought on your problem. On my last coach, a 2011 Big Country I had a similar sounding problem. What I found was on the grounded bus bar, where all your White wires are attached, they had 1 screw through the bus bar grounding it the the trailer metal. The screw had broken so there was no...

    Hmm... toilet doesn't want to pull enough water to flush... back of toilet is making a gurgling sound when flushed.

    Remove the water pressure regulator temporarily and run your hose direct with no other restrictions and see what happens to your flow. Most of the inexpensive regulators offer low flow, if your regulator is at fault, replace with a high flow rate, adjustable pressure style, they are pricey, but...

    Sliding Bathroom Door Track Pulled Out of Ceiling.

    If it’s like mine, it has locking clips on the 2 posts that hold the door to the roller assembly. You may be able to release the locks with your fingers, I usually need a screwdriver. It’s a really simple maneuver. Hockster

    Brake Help Needed

    Going to Disc brakes is the best money you will ever spend for any RV upgrade. When you’ve towed with Disc brakes, and compared the difference, you wonder why it is not offered as an option on every coach made. I believe the customer should have the choice of which system they want, and would...

    Winter Storm

    In the last 24 hrs, we have around 16” of Snow on the ground. Wind was out of the Northeast, off Lake Huron and dumped all this White stuff on us. Now the Cold starts, talking around 15 degrees tonight with wind chills around 5 degrees. This Snow & Cold are setting records for the earliest major...

    First Alert Safe

    Ours is in the closet. I added additional fasteners, not very well installed from the factory. One would think that engineering would have come up with a rock solid fastening system for a safe. Mine basically pulled away from the wall fasteners without much effort. All that being said, we love...

    Something to help sift thru RV parks

    I just found out, with the purchase of a new Android phone last week, that Android no longer supports the Allstays app. I, like Dave, have been using it for years. When all my apps were transferred to the new phone, that one did not come over. I did a Google search to find out why, and that’s...

    Older Heartland RV's and Propane Tanks

    Alabama is also 10 years, so I believe this may be a federal law. I take two 20# tanks with me and run off them, by using a longer hose to the tank, lighter & easier to handle. I’ve had the same problem as the first post with my 20# bottles. I just go to Walmart and exchange them, and get...

    I have a 2019 Big Horn 3760EL and there is a sign above the city water fill that says max water pressure 100# I use a high flow adjustable regulator from Water Filter Store set at 60#, these were around $90.00, not sure of current price. Dan’s correct on regulators, get a high flow one, Hugh...

    Flooring torn

    I had the same problem on my last coach, a 2011 3450TS Big Country, a screw came out of roller, roller not broke, and tore the flooring, it didn’t affect the underlay. My coach was still under warranty and Heartland paid and my dealer replaced the whole floor, not a patch job. My dealer did a...

    I have to rant

    I have a 2019 Big Horn 3760EL we picked up April 2018 that had a few teething problems, it spent 10 weeks in 2 different repair facilities, plus some work done by my mobile RV tech in Alabama. I will say this about Heartland & Lippert (LCI), they have stood behind their products. The time spent...

    Emergency brake switch broken...Can I bypass to get to the shop?

    Dan is correct, it’s a normally closed switch. With the pin in place, it creates an abnormal condition, which is the open contact. Also, be aware that in some states, maybe all, it is the law that you have an operating breakaway switch while towing. The switch cost around $20.00 and only takes...

    Well, we made it, but backed up in traffic on I-96 East of Grand Rapids, from 2 lanes down to 1 lane for 10 miles & 55 minutes for road work, or lack there of. Big road sign said, “Left lane closed 9 miles ahead”, and that was where the backup started. When we arrived at the site of road repair...
