Re: ATF: Edge - Dometic RML8555 Frig not working I don't know if mine is the same model of fridge, (mine is in a M21), and I know it is Dometic. Anyway, I seem to have trouble with it every time I take it out the first time of the year. It seems the solution to my problem is to give the...

We've had the exact same problem with ours...the axle actually appears to be a fraction of an inch longer. Our dealer was absolutely no help. Their solution was to cut off more of the skirt. The tires eventually did wear off a piece of the skirt. With exacting leveling we were able to...

Yes, they do recline, but don't swivel. We got them at Jysk, (I think that's how it's spelled), but, I had to fabricate alot on the base of these seats, (includine cutting and welding), to get them to work in this application, so it would be very hard to copy. A big problem I ran into was the...

Please excuse the mess... I replaced the uncomfortable bench sofa with this. In the future will be added a skirt around the bench and possibly a covering for the bench as well. Even though holes were drilled in the process, everything can still be returned to original...if the need was to arise.

In the 1st pic is the solar panel, (of course), mounted on a step, with a rod at the bottom to give it a better angle to the sun. In the second pic, basically the same thing but at a different angle. I built the bracket that holds the panel to the step, myself. The 3rd pic, shows where I...

In a previous post, I was asked to share some pictures of my solar panel setup...here goes-

Just remember to latch the stove vent before you tow your trailer...otherwise it will flap in the wind and break... it happened to us.

I wonder what the studs are made of. In the front, under the bed, the framework is all aluminum...if the walls were the same, attaching to a stud there would/should be no problem.

Wow, it's so disturbing to hear this... man, we feel for you guys. Is there any way to take it back to where you purchased it? Really, if you look at how these units are made, IMHO, in order to properly fix this, you'd basically have to separate the frame and floor from the whole top, (because...

No, I haven't posted anything yet. My system consists basically of a two part setup. I use/bought two, 100watt, 12 volt (this is important), mono-crystalline, solar panels produced by Grape (the cheapest I could find).... I wired them (you have to use proper cables and connectors), to control...

First thing I wanted to change was the sofa...so I ripped that out and put in two recliner style seats, (we usually only camp with the "Little Lady" and myself), I built a couple of drawers for beside the bed, installed a Solar Panel setup, (for lack of a better term), electric jack, (for the...

I believe the "Gray" water valve is the front one..."black" water is the back one. (at least on the 2009) The grey water tank is in front of the black water. Behind some of the drawers maybe be wiring, plumbing, etc... might want to check that out. We've made a few changes on ours to "make...

My problem was mostly with the base part of the sofa, especially at the front. I looked inside the seat bottom and found basically an aluminum frame, with what looks like box straps between the front and back frame, and covered with some light foam on top. If I was to rework this seat, I think...

I recently replaced our bench/bed with two recliners. It was alot of work and took alot of fitting and refitting. I think that the biggest problem you would have is that the plywood base is so high off of the floor...and don't even think of cutting it out, that's where the gears, etc. of the...

Curious, ...How do you do that, and still latch the window?

I think that the model number, ei:M22 for example, indicates trailer length minus the hitch...what I call "coach length"...add 4 ft for the hitch. But don't quote me on this...just a thought.

Well, I would think- two entrance door keys, plus a storage area key... just my humble opinion. That's what I got with my M21.

Why lug around a 20 ton jack if you don't need one that big?

I agree...use a bottle jack. There may already be one in your tow vehicle, with the spare tire...and use something under it to raise it to the proper height and distribute the weight so the jack won't sink into the ground/asphalt... you may also already carry leveling blocks, which can be used...

Seems a little steep,... no? I'm researching a system as well, but can't help but think, because of my research that the price of only these items is high.

I believe there are a few people on this site who have installed solar power or what-have-you. I am really interested in doing the same kind of thing. Can you please describe your setup, perhaps how you did it, what's needed, (and maybe why), cost, perhaps add a picture or two. I'm fairly...

Merry Christmas to all of you, and we wish you a prosperous New Year. May you know Peace and Happiness throughout the coming years.

Re: Im back, still having interior light issues Or only one 6 volt. Sounds like a battery issue to me...and cheaper to fix. And ya, I believe there are a few things that never turn off in your unit, (as in always draw power). I leave mine plugged in all of the time. If that isn`t an option...

Re: Anto Sway bar for my M21 Exactly the setup I'm using... along with the weight dist hitch. Pulling an M21 using a KIA Borrego. It helps some, but a real P.I.T.A. I was told by the salesman, to take it off, once you leave the highway. A sharp turn or turn and rise (like pulling into a...

I think that if I was going to "make" something, it would be on the back, and not the front. On the front, I think it would reduce your positive air flow and likely be a bug catcher anyways...not sure I'd want anything there, but that's just my opinion. I'd be more inclined to put something on...

I'm seeing in your pictures that the battery box is sitting on the strap that closes it... how do you keep the battery from bouncing out of the rack? I really hate those straps and having to climb underneath, almost, to do them up or take them off (I am medically challenged, and have my straps...

Ok, so where do you get an "accumulator"? Wish I could "sticky" this post.

Pretty nice looking setup with the lid...

I'm not really keen on the present system either...I was thinking about redoing the mounts, to get at the batteries easier plus perhaps putting another battery on there...

Anybody interested in LED's could contact this business... I personally know the guy, and know he gives good prices on some product that is R.V. specific. http://canadiancruisercustomizing.com/

Thanks...

I agree with the previous comments about the sofa, (it sucks)...and would like to convert to something better as well. I remember seeing comments and pictures of a conversion that consisted of two seats, etc. that someone on here posted. I'd be interested in that type of conversion. If anyone...

We've had our M21 for a little over a year now. My take on it- I think that the Edge is well designed and engineered ok. I feel however that the construction leaves something to be desired... the materials used seem to be ok (so far) but it seems to me that quality control was lacking. Would...

Well, I had the same experience you did, got tired of trying to work off a ladder. I took off my shoes (bare feet) and walked on the roof...but only around the outside edge. I weigh in at 300lbs and felt I may have been taking a bit of a chance, so watched closely and took it cool in the...

Nice job...

Just as a follow-up, I was in touch with Heartland...actually the rep I talked to phoned me about another query and I questioned him about this issue as well. I could hardly believe their quick service... hats off to them for that. His recommendation, however, is to take it back to a...

Thanks guys. Actually one of the fellows from Heartland read my questions and phoned me with most of the answers. One more question though...When re-sealing the joints, does one rip out all of the old caulk, just where it's cracked, or just run the new caulking over the old?

Does anyone know, (for sure) what kind of roofing material is on the M21?... And, what kind of calking is used around it's edges? Also, I need to know what other calkings are used and where on this unit. My dealer is of no use to me, and I've lost all faith in them so will attempt this myself.

Kinda off the topic a bit, but does anybody know where to get a "decent" owner's manual for these trailers?

Thanks guys...any particular kind of wax?
