We had a Surge Guard hardwired into the rig and it died and so did all the power until we could get it removed. Surge Guard replaced it without question, but in the meantime Don decided that he wanted the one that plugs into the pedistal so that if it died he could just unplug it and have power...

Checking in... Once again, thanks to everyone for all of your input. Doug, I had already done the things that you suggested and to no avail. Today I called a couple of electrical companies who advertised solar, but none had any experience with a rig like this. So I called our trusty mobile...

OK, so I've got a heater running in the storage compartment, with the panel to the water pump, etc open. I've got a heater running in the bedroom and I'm going to call it a night and hope for the best upon waking up. I'll tackle the solar problem tomorrow. "I can't think about that right...

Oh, and will it override the solar system?

I've got a 2000 watt Honda gen. If I disconnect from shore power will it be enough to run the furnace?

1. I think only the one outlet in the washer/dryer area. (If I understand the question correctly) 2. We got the trailer in July 2007 and had the system installed pre-delivery. 3. I'm a female alone (Don died in July) and no I don't have a clue what to disconnect, but you tell me and I'll...

Thanks Marv, I agree that it is probably not wired correctly, but the system was installed before we tool possession, and supposedly by a professional that did the big motorhomes. Water under the bridge now. Your panel sound very simular to mine, though not exact. Trouble is that my panel is...

Also, I do have one outlet in the washer/dryer area that is not on the system so I can keep the bedroom warm. That leaves the tanks and pipes in the cold though. If I open the sliding panel that is in the storage compartment and put a heater in there, running straight from the 15amp outlet on...

I've got a battery charge, but where do I hook it? I've got four batteries in the compartment?

On second look I don't think my batteries are charging. I just took the drain off of them and they flashed back up to 11.0 and 11.1. I guess I'm just not going to have power until morning and have to hope for a sunny day and no frozen tanks, yeah right, who am I kidding, I'm in NE PA?

Thanks Marv, or is it Karen? I think I get what you're saying, but at this moment it has shut down and I can't get it started back up. Better explanation... the light panel that shows my battery status it just starting to light up again and the batteries are starting to charge from shore...

I agree, but I'm not finding it. I still had the cell number of the guy who installed it and called him, but he no longer has that number. At this point I'm just trying not to panic.

Well, here it is, just 10 minutes later, 23 degrees outside, and I just got a Fault 135 - System Shut Down! Now I have no power to the unit at all and this is not good. The system shut down due to low batteries. There has got to be a way to bypass this lousy solar system!

First, I admit to being a solar idiot. Here is my problem... It appears that the power usage in my Landmark comes first from the solar system, before pulling from shore power. I am in PA and it's cold here, so I am running two electric heaters as well and keeping the propane thermostat set at...

Thanks to all for your help. I think I have this one straight now, but I'm quite sure there will be more questions later.

Thanks Jim, so are you saying that the tanks will automatically switch either way, but I can manually turn the valve to determine if one of the tanks is empty? It's going to be a cold winter and I want to get this right BEFORE I run out of propane in the middle of a snowy night. :eek:

As some of you may know, Don passed away this summer and I am now trying full-timing on my own. I'm determined not to make any decisions regarding this lifestyle for at least a year. However, I'm almost like a newbie since Don did the maintenance and it seemed the time was never right for him...

I purchased the Wineguard UHF add on and installed it on my antenna, last year while in Whitefish MT. we only received one channel that was watchable this year with the antenna upgrade we receive six channels so I am pleased with the $26.00 upgrade. Don

i think you have a great idea, my wife and I have been full timing for nearly two years now and enjoy it very much. We left our jobs before retirement and work at campgrounds around the country usually north in the summer and south in the winter. We have met many wonderful people and enjoy the...

Check out this post by linuxkid, lots of good info. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?t=4530&highlight=satelite+cable+wiring+diagram

That area of Colorado is our favorite place in the USA. You will love it, We did not get a chance to ride the Narrow Guage Railroad steam engine but plan to return sometime and take the ride to Silverton and back. We stayed at the KOA on the north side of Durango like you were going to...

I added the digital antenna kit to my antenna that is carried at Camping world and it seems to help. They claim it increases UHF signals up to 100%. Cost was $26.00

mrcomer I tried to catch up with you for two days but you stayed in the road and I was never able to get up with you. Enjoy the rally and maybe I will catch you another time down the road

Turn the volume on the TV all the way down and no Mute symbal

My wife pulled ours off and I have seen no residue but if it does get some Goo Gone and it will remove it. She reused it to decorate some of the mirror's in the trailer.

Kindgren you may also have to turn off your pop up blocker if you are running one. Don

Same in both of my trailers but mine had ice makers. It will go away and will only be a bad memory. Can't say for sure how long it will take but one day it will dawn on you that the bad taste is gone. It won't be months but like CJ said it may take a few weeks Don

Ray I have seen one with galvanized sheet metal under it. It looked good and much more durable than the material that is put on from the factory, Hmmmmm soffit material huh, now there is a thought. Don

Take heed to Uncle Rog's advice. Don't ask me how I know. Don

Bobcat we will be at the Whitefish KOA. It is on Hwy.93 South out of Whitefish about three miles on the left or coming from Kalispell it is about seven miles on the right. Hope to see y'all this summer. Don

Thanks CJ and right back at you. Met lots of nice folks while at the campground. Travel safe, Don

Well folks she is in the shop and they tell me it should only take a couple of days to repair it. The lengthy part was the two weeks waiting to get the parts ordered and assembled before they could get it in the shop. Anyway it won't be as long as it has been. Started this adventure six weeks...

To those of you that have expressed a concern about buying from Heartland because of the complaints you read about on this board keep in mind that in the end Heartland has stepped up to the plate and though the work is not done yet I have full confidence that in the end they will do what is...

Does the toilet burp back when you flush it? If the vent is stopped up I believe it will burp when flushed. I do not smell the sewer when I run the front air on my Landmark so I do not think this is normal. If it is burping back when you flush as strange as this may seem try filling the toilet...

Looking foward to meeting you Tom, we could have a small rally as CJWigley and Tex Bobcat are also here. I am in sight 408

Sorry about the delay in answering jgilbert but I have been waiting on the factory. I arrived in Elkhart on May 18Th for my appointment on May 20Th. After meeting with Gary Randolph and Jim Fenner and a couple of shop foremen I think, I was told that they would have to order parts and build some...

I have had this taste in both the last two trailers. One SOB and the Landmark we now own. Nothing but time seems to do anything about the taste so be patient and one day soon it will just go away. I think it comes from the plastic plumbing. Probably the more the system is used the sooner it...

Pulltab as Ray stated I was waiting on a response from Heartland. Is what they offered what I wanted? No, but as long as they are trying to get to the bottom of how this all come about and they tell me there is nothing they can't fix on these trailers it just makes no sense to me to bite the...

Fly your flag proudly Creeper.

Well I guess I am sort of back on the road at least enough to get to Elkhart and no Cynwby there has been no discussion about doing anything but fixing the trailer which at this point I am grateful for. This boat was about to sink and it looked as though I was going down with my ship. The...
