    Help needed for Hydraulic Jack Problem

    Thanks for your help. The pump seems to work fine with the slides, so I think the jacks are binding someway?? The factory repair, in Elkhart, worked on a problem with the jacks this past April because the one jack would not stay fully retracted. It kept drifting down about 2 inches and...

    Help needed for Hydraulic Jack Problem

    After hooking the truck to the trailer the hydraulic jacks will "hesitate" before they retract to lower the trailer weight to the truck. It is almost like they are binding. We sometimes have to release the truck brake in order to get them to retract. We have sprayed silicone on them as suggested...

    America's Best Campground (ABC)

    Electric awning problem

    We have a Wind Pro automatic awning too. When the automatic retract for wind is "enabled" we constantly get a "beep - beep" from our control box telling us that the automatic wind control is not working. When we "disable" it, the beeping noise stops. The awning opens and closes fine when...

    Slide Topper Opinions

    I agree with all the above reasons. They do help to keep the slides cooler and keep rain off. One thing that we have noticed is they make noise when the wind blows hard......we are in the Rio Grande Valley of TX for the winter .......it is windy some days and they are noisy.

    Continued Service Plan

    Thanks for your help. We also purchased the Dometic 5 year warrantees on our refrigerator and air conditioners. I know the frig would be costly if it went out. jpmorgan37, were you at the 2006 Heartland Rally? I am trying to think if we met you there.

    Continued Service Plan

    We are thinking about buying a Continued Service Plan to take over as soon as our warrantee period expires. We are wondering how many other RV owners have purchased the extended warrantee and do you feel it is worthwhile or not. Thank you.

    User Cooper's Blowout - 2006-October

    Having a blowout really scares me. I am wondering what speed people usually pull their trailers and what speed they were going when they had the blowouts. If I remember correct, the company that weighed our trailers at the rally told us the Road Boss tires we have on our Grand Canyon should...

    Which Way to Go

    We just traveled from Branson to Fredericksburg TX about a 10 days ago. We went the 65, 412 , 540, 40, 69. 412 has many, many 35-40 mph curves with lot of up and down hill pulling. All roads were smooth except 69 in Oklahoma. That was rough, but I have been on worse. Hope this helps you.

    Are DualPane windows REALLY advantagous?

    We DO have dual pane windows in our Grand Canyon. We DID NOT have them in our last 5th wheel. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you get them. As said before, there is a big difference in cooling, heating and noise reduction.

    We have just had the same thing happen to our 2005 GC. We have been watching it wear until it finally wore through to the wood. Heartland was very helpful and co-operative and we are taking it to be fixed.

    Refrigerator not cooling well.........

    We have opened the black "brain box" and checked the fuses. There are 2 and they appear OK. I can see above the frig and there is just a large open space because it vents out the top-side......no fan visible. Can you see your fan, Jim or is it located in the roof vent. I should have had this...

    Refrigerator not cooling well.........

    Our refrigerator when set at #5 (the highest setting) keeps the items in the freezer frozen, however the lowest I can get the refrigerator part is 40-50 degrees. I read on the Trailer Life Forum to move the white plastic slide on the fin up toward the freezer and that would lower the...
