in our last trailer we used a RV repeater. Very simple to install. http://www.amazon.com/Sewell-BlastIR-SW-29311-Infrared-Receiver/dp/B004FJV8EE/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1399860363&sr=1-3&keywords=ir+repeater

i checked with Heartland. The jacks support the frame so there isn't a risk of bending. My BH has a 12" frame.

We tow a 3160 (15000 lbs) with a F350 diesel, short bed SRW crew cab.

It's prewired to the bedroom closet.

All transponders are not active in most areas of the country.

My wheels have been off the ground for over a month now. It absolutely stable and fine.

DirectTV only uses 3 locations now. They stopped using 5 some time ago. The new Winegard Trav'ler 3, only hits 3 birds and gets all HD and SD. It's unclear to me about locals.

RVnet is owned by Camping World/Good Sam. I had an issue with CW and Marcus the CEO personally cleared it up. It has a very varied audience as does this site. I've been in the Internet business for 15 years and know a good deal about forums. This forum and RVnet are very similar. The ratio of...

Good point. Who selected the appliances? Was it you? Maybe I shouldn't think of the trailer as a vehicle but as a house. Maybe I expect too much from Heartland. I do, by the way, appreciate the list of vendors.

That makes a lot more sense. I got the original number from this forum. Still, the tires (barely) exceed axle ratings.

For what it's worth, I think that much of the pain from poor quality control comes from the fact that Heartland glues a long list of their suppliers on the inside of one of our cabinets and expects us to chase warranty claims on components of our trailers. In the case of the microwave, you were...

The more I read, the more concerned I get. Apparently, it is not a giant problem the first year or two (5,000 miles). However, without the emotion, a few things seem apparent: The Towmax tires have an exceptionally high load rating (3,900 lbs). This is the same as a typical G-rated tire. Our...

We set up directv with no trouble at all. Camping World installed a Trav'ler. I made two 8 inch jumpers that go in the UDC and connect the two connectors in each dual Fconnector outlet. Thanks to Dan, I learned that my DVR's can work with RF remotes and I programmed the directtv remotes so I...

x2 I have the same system.

I'm not sure how to find out how wide my rims are. Is there a simple way?

Volts times amps = watts. If the voltage drops (you can only observe that under load), the amps go up. If you want to minimize voltage drop, use a 10 ga. Extension cord. We hav a 100ft one to our trailer.

Will any suppliers be at the rally?

Which Goodyears did you get?

Ok, several people have mentioned going to a 17.5" wheel and LT tires. I don't know much about this. I looked at our Bighorn and the axles seem pretty close together. Is there room to mount the larger wheel/tire?

I've noticed that the load rating of the Salion load range G tires is 3750 lbs. Doesn't the Towmax load range E tire have the same load rating? How does that work? I thought the load rang G tires would carry more weight.

I've had very good luck with Geico for my car and home. I have their RV policy which seems good and i get the multi-vehicle discount.

Did you have to drop the coroplast to do that? was it hard to do?

While I am not a full-timer, for years my bank was very far away. I tried everything I could think of to change the bank-assigned pin, but I just couldn't do it. I finally ended up living with the value they gave me. Some banks will let you set the pin at the time you open the account. But, of...

Discount tires look great as a company. I can't find the Goodyears on their website. I would like to get a price locally.

***** First, no one is negating your personal pain. However, some people talking about very painful experiences doesn't mean they represent everyone who owns the product. *****************

I know that almost every Heartland trailer has them, all Kodiak and Keystones, etc. Lots out there.

Did your coach come with LR E Tow Max? I thought that Landmarks came with LR G G614's. The thing is that just because the trailer puts less than the limit on the tires, doesn't mean that your trailer is safely within limits. If the tires have a combined capacity of 15,000 lbs and you have...

We tried out our over-the-air reception today. Before I go further, to save posts on the obvious: I know a lot about electronics and TV All connections are solid The Off-the-air power is on Ok, this is an odd one. I live in a remote spot not too far from Seattle. I turned on the bedroom TV and...

What's your point? Do you seriously believe that a few opinions on a forum constitute accurate assessments of a product? My point is that opinions are interesting and important, but prove absolutely nothing. I am saying that the statements are based on personal experience. How does that equate...

This is the kind of statement that has absolutely no basis in fact. How do you know the manufacturing quality of the Tow Max is lower than the LT? We'll exclude race tires because the performance requirements make the production process very different. Unless you have real statistics on quality...

I have been trying to figure that out too. I have the 8 bolt Aluminum wheels. I really hope i can upgrade to the G rated tires.

Thank you! That's a great price. I ordered some.

As the OP I have to say that there is a lot of emotion regarding tires. I've learned that. What else I learned is that chances are good that those of us with heavy (over 10k lbs) towables are pushing the load capacity of load range E tires. What we haven't learned is whether the tires our...

I'll look and see if I can do that. Great idea!

TST recommended a repeater for my 5th wheel which is 37 ft.

That sounds really easy to do. I guess it doesn't use that much power.

I got a TST repeater to make more reliable readings on the road. I spoke with someone at TST and he said I could mount it in the battery compartment (forward compartment on our Bighorn). He said it doesn't need to be outside. I would like to do that. I have some questions: How do I connect it...

TST has a video on installing their TPMS that discusses temps. They cite a Michelin study that they use for setting the default danger temp for tires. On the track, tires need to be hot. The rubber works best when the tires are hot. The compound needs to be a certain temperature to have the...

My main takeaway besides proper speed and inflation is to recognize that a wide margin of load versus tire capacity is going to seriously reduce risk. If your trailer weighs over 10,000 lbs loaded consider moving to a load range F or G.

I've discovered that guys who work at tire dealers are not experts at all. They don't have the training. The Goodyear recommendations are echoed by every tire maker. If you start out cold at 73PSI, you are almost 10% under inflated. That will reduce the tire's load capacity substantially. Even...
