Has anyone found a good match for the MPG silver frame paint? Thank you

We have an MPG-181 and the left rear storage compartment the white strip molding was lose. So I popped it off thinking I would re-nail it. While I had it off I noticed wet saw dust laying in the bottom of the gap between the floor and the back wall. The bottom of the wall is also spongy. I...

Do any of you guys have a gap in your Rear Window Gasket? Is it normal?

The roof of our 2011 MPG is badly oxidized with no gloss. I've waxed it, but really no shine to speak of. The front and back still have a nice glossy finish but the oxidation begins where they curve into the top of the roof. The sides still have a glossy finish and polish up well. Anyone else...

We have a 2011 MPG, and last fall I noticed that our roof was noticeably oxidized. I was surprised since the roof and front & back are one piece fiberglass. The front, back, and sides are still glossy and smooth, and polish up fine. I would have expected it after 5-10 years, but not this soon...

I posted this on the MPG forum, but figure it belongs here. I currently have a 2011 MPG with thePlatnum Package. The MPG currently has 15" Towmax "C" loadrangetires, and I wanted to upgrade to the 15" loadrange "D" tires for an extra margin of safety. The "C" range tires= 50 PSI; "D" range= 65...

I currently have a 2011 MPG with the Platnum Package. The MPG currently has 15" Towmax "C" rated tires. I would like to go with the 15" loadrange "D" tires, and would like to know if the wheels are rated for the extra pressure? EDIT: "C" range= 50 PSI; "D" range= 65 PSI Thank you

We were camping this past weekend, and were in an area loaded with stink bugs. I never gave the slide a thought as the top and side gaskets look to seal fairly well. I should have given the bottom gasket a look as the insects were getting into the camper and I couldn't figure out how. When we...

I plan on repacking the bearings on our 181, and would like to have seals and an extra set of bearingson hand; anyone have the part numbers? Thank you

We have a 2011 MPG-181, and have about 6,000 miles on it. The Towmax tires are showing some tread wear, but appear to be in good shape. Just wondering how many miles you have on your tires, and if you've had any problems with them. If you've replaced them, how many miles did you have when you...

I'm looking for a better bath vent fan, and am wondering if any of you guys have replaced your bath vent fan. There's the Fantastic Fan, but you have to replace the whole fan unit, and I''m not too sure I want to tackle that and risk a roof leak. Then there's the Vortex II which replaces the...

With the price of fuel now a days, I'm considering converting the 2 propane tank system on the MPG to a 1 tank system. It will also reduce ttongue weight. Unless you are going out into the wild for an extended stay, one tank should be more than sufficient, and if you do campground camping, I...

We have a porable gas grill, and instead of using the 1Lb tanks, I want to utilize our onboard propane tank. Have any of you guys installed a fitting that would allow you to connect an outside gas grill? Thank you

Now that we're all getting ready to hit the road again, it's time to dewinterize and WAX. I currently use Meguiars Ulimate on our vehicles, and it is fantastic; thinking I might give it a try on our MPG. So, what wax have you guys found to be the easiest and best overall? Happy camping!

Here's a nice Rectangular Door window mod "Larry" did to his rpod, but could easily work on the MPG too: http://www.rpodnation.com/topic3055_post33340.html#33340 Looks like it would add a lot of additional light.

I winterized our MPG 181 yesterday. I by-passed the HWH, then connected an air compressor to the city water inlet and blew the lines out one by one. Then I connected a Camco hand pump to the city water inlet and pumped RV Antifreeze through all the faucets, toliet, and dumped some down the...

We've used our MPG a few times, always hooked up to electric, and have turned the HWH switchs (interior wall and on HWH) to the on position, and water has been hot. I've never heard the gas fire up, and presumed it was operating on electric only. I thought that you could use operate the HWH on...

How do you play your iPod through the MPG music center? Never mind; got the answer from a good friend

We live in NJ and have the usual 4 seasons, and am wondering if I should get covers for the AC unit and tires. So, How many of you guys cover your AC units and tires? Also, where did you find tire covers for the MPG 15" tires? Thank you

How do I get my wife's iPod to play through the speakers in my 181? She's driving me crazy to get this done. Help!!

Considering a trip from NJ to FL this winter (Jan- Feb) for a couple of weeks, and am looking for some good campground recommendations for the trip down 95. Not sure where the end point will be in FL; maybe somewhere around Venice, or somewhere in the keys. Appreciate any insight. Thank you

Heard a rumor over the weekend that 2012 will be the last year for the MPG; not sure I understand why they would eliminate the MPG from the lineup? Seems to me with all the newer and smaller SUV's, there would be a strong market for light weight (under 4,000 GVWR) campers. Confirm, or put this...

Just mounted a Blue Sea 6006 switch to our MPG-181; Mounted it on the battery box for simplicity and ease of use. Hopefully it will save the battery!

Where are the jacking points on the MPG to change a flat tire? Thank you

Looking for a way to keep our MPG battery charged without having to keep MPG pluged in 24/7. I'm thinking that something like the BatteryMINDer would be better, plus save the onboard charging system. However, can I used the Batteryminder and keep the battery hooked up so I can use the lights...

While the MPG has some nicer features over the competition (R-Pod), the R-Pod caome with Goodyear tires VS Towmax tires on the MPG. Overall, what is your opinion of the Towmax tires?

Anyone install an awning/cover over their MPG Slide-Out? I saw an R-Pod this week which had an awning/cover installed over the slide out, and thought it might be a good idea to keep leaves, etc., off the slide out roof. Have any of you guys with an MPG installed one? If so, where did you get...

My MPG slide weather stripping is coming off the camper body?? Our MPG is only 10 months old, and now the weather stripping for the slide is coming off the body; looks like the glue or glue on the 2-sided tape was not up to spec. Since we are the 2nd owners, we have no warranty, but hard to...

Can one of you guys with an MPG-181 send me pic's of the bottom of the dinete table and the brackets on the wall that hold the table? Something is weird with our table. We cannot travel with it set or it bounces out of the 2 wall brackets. The only way it will sit flat between the dinette...

How many miles and/or years do expect to get out of your MPG Towmax tires? And what brand & model do anticipate replacing them with? Thank you

Would like some recommendations for a decent quality electric tongue jack for our MPG Thank you!

Just wondering how you guys attach the screen that goes along the bottome of the MPG. Also, did you have to cut it, or wrap it around the fender and step? Thank you

The Fastway Flip-Jack looks neat, and just wondering if any of you MPG owners have one? And if so, what size? http://www.rvwholesalers.com/catalog/fastway-flip-tongue-automatic-jack-foot-15-0192.html Thank you

Wow,....this is so confusing. Talked to a 3rd RV dealer today and he indicated the same as the other two, that I really only needed sway control for a such a light trailer as the MPG, and that WDH's were meant for heavier and longer trailers. I emailed Heartland and here's their response: "We...

I did a search and found general responses which were not for the MPG. I emailed Heartland, and here's their response: "The override to manually retract the room in case of emergency is located to the rearward side of the unit at the refrigerator cabinet and behind the false panel that would...

We have a Heartland MPG, and a Nissan Pathfinder with a 6,000Lb tow capacity for a TV. With the MPG hooked up, the back end of the TV drops about 2", and the front goes up about 1/2"- 3/4". Since the MPG is only 3,800 GVWR, I had a dealer tell me I really didn't need a WDH, but an "E2" would...

We're looking to get a nice indoor/outdoor mat for the MPG dome awning, and would like to know the dimensions of the awning. Thank you

Years ago when we had a PUP, we brought along a couple of short pieces of 2x6's for leveling. Now we're getting ready to go out in our new to us 181, and to keep the weight down, I was thinking that a set of those plastic leveling blocks might be better? So, just wondering what yoou guys...

We have a couple of what look like Air Bubbles on the Top of our Heartland MPG-181 Slide Out. There's no water from what I can tell. Appears to be solid underneath, and looks like the glue just didn't hold too well. It's less than 1 year old; Is this normal? We are the second owners and...
