    Inverter Installation

    I have this unit. 3,000 watts. Be careful with wiring. I have 6 x 100 amp BattleBorn batteries, and the distributor provided 2/0 jumpers. They got very hot, and I had to upgrade to 4/0 for the batteries, disconnect, and fuse. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Inverter Installation

    You are talking about 2 separate systems, one runs your 12 V system, and the other runs your refrigerator on the 110 V Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Power Cord Reel Motor Died

    You have to remove the J wrap trim. It's pretty easy, and then you have full access to the reel. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Power Cord Reel Motor Died

    Get the model number and you can get replacement parts from the manufacturer. Mine had stripped plastic gears and they sold metal replacements. Works fine. I would think you could buy parts much easier than replacing the whole unit. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    Dometic thermostat furnace issue

    I've seen a few topics that almost covered this issue, but nothing with a solution to my problem. The t-stat will run the furnace until it doesn't. What I mean is that it randomly fails to start the furnace when the temp falls. I turn it off and back on and it starts working again. It seems like...

    Big Country 5th wheel electric fireplace

    If you have the Greystone fireplace, check the plug in the cabinet. If it is a flat disc with the cord coming out the side, make sure it is not melting. My fireplace, in a 2017 Newport, had a short adapter plugged into the factory plug to allow the cord to run flat against the side of the...

    I would think the frame and underbelly would have signs if it was in a flood. I'd contact Heartland for help. Hot sure if they would do anything but they may give some ideas on where to look. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    What is this switch?

    You are correct. I wasn't focused on the inverter switch, just didn't pay attention. Just frustrated that 5 years of off and on efforts to figure it out have failed. I have no idea and the factory doesn't know. Could it be for the awning wind sensor hookups under the not used covers? I didn't...

    Does anyone know how well using the propane furnace for all heat keep the under-floor fresh/grey/black tanks from freezing? All of my valves are internal so they would be included. I plan to skirt too. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    2017 Newport winter camping

    We are stuck in Southern Indiana for the winter in our 2017 Newport. It does not have an artic package. Besides getting a fabric skirting kit and heated water hose, I'd appreciate any suggestions. We're in a mobile home park that accepts long term RV's so they have utilities to handle freezing...

    Newport TV Coax Setup

    My Newport has antenna boost when on and degraded cable. Poor antenna and better cable when off. I do know, having worked in factories myself, that wiring is one of the least standardized components. Looms are made on a big board and plopped down at the RV. It's up to the electrician (factory...

    Inverter GFCI tripping

    I've heard that inverters go bad more than you would think. My main house inverter went bad and had to be changed. The 1000 watt invertor has it's own transfer switch. Also, be sure the GFCI receptical isn't tripped. Use your phone camera in selfie mode th chech the GFCI receptical on the bottom...

    Sway brace or no sway brace?

    I wouldn't. F350 has plenty of weight to tame your TT in my opinion. Same with equalizers. Just get a hitch at the right height and you should be fine. Just my opinion after towing trailers of all kinds and sizes with F350's for 40 years. If the trailer was bigger, I'd rather spend money on air...

    You can epoxy a small metal plate, 18 guage minimum, under the current holes. Check the frame seal. If it drips when you open the door, the seals are leaking and need to be sealed or any wood in the door could rot. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk

    When to replace trailer tires?

    Our problem happened last summer. We pulled in 109 degrees or 40mph crosswinds. I think our 5 year old tires with 7,500 miles on them couldn't handle it. We monitored temps and pressure, stopping when necessary. Still, August 13th was a fun day. Back to back blowouts, about $6,500 in damage...

    When to replace trailer tires?

    I had a similar problem and found out the hard way. The tire dealer manager said they couldn't resell tires that were 5 years old by law. Two of mine (original tires, 5.5 years old) separated tread and blew out the same day, hours apart, causing thousands in damage to my 5th wheel. My rule is...
