No, the batteries are in good shape, and I have not noticed any fluid leaking out of the trailer but I will take a closer look. THe bedroom slide works just fine and there is no abnormal noise when bringing in the slides except they their is absolute silence and you let the switch return to the...

Has anyone had problems while brining in the slide outs? Our bedroom slide comes in without any problems, but the living/dining room slides stops several times while brining the the side in to the travel position. Any trick fixes that anyone knows of?? Thanks, Butch:confused:

Thanks for the help I have forgot about the post and I have had another valve go bad. Do you just pull the Shiite off and grease the wire and re-plce the Shiite?? Thanks again Butch

I have 2007 295RK and the pulls for the kitchen and black water valves now stay in the open position and I have to remove the under belly to hold the cable to close the valves. How is the cable held in the handle body, so I can open and close the valves? Thanks in advance for you help. Butch

I am having problems with the valve that controls the gray tank for the kitchen. The valve will not close. Does anyone recall how to adjust the valves so they work properly? I remember seeing some where but with the new pages I am unable to locate. Thanks for your help, Butch

I have a new tow vehicle and need to put new rails in the bed for the hitch. I have a Husky 16k hitch and noticed that husky now has an under the bed mount system so when the you take out the hitch there are no rails in the bed. Is any one using an under the bed rail system and if so how do...

Be careful in Medford also, they have the elevated highway that goes through town and is known to get covered in black ice if the weather is cold. Travel safe, Butch

Sharon and I would like wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year. To all of you that serve our Country and home and overseas may your day be safe and uneventful. I am getting ready to work my last Christmas. I have to work 25, 27 and 29 and I will call it a rap of 25 years of...

About four years ago I was first in on a fatal fire in a fifth wheel. The lady had been smoking inside the trailer and her ash tray was full and overflowed into the waste can sitting below the ash tray. The fire started in the rear living portion of the trainer. Upon arrival, she was sitting...

We had problems with the fresh water tank vents which caused water to be discahrged into the undr belly and they also found a line connection that was cross threaded, But the fix was simple for the shop and the unit was less that a year old. Good luck

We did the trip last year durning 4th of July holiday. Heading north you are on the wrong side of the highway and miss some great views and most of the pull-offs are on the west sinde of the highway. We plan to do another trip but will travel south bound on along the coast home. Great views...

I called sieres 06 and ordered direct form them. Two cost approximately 24 dollars and were shipped to the house in four days.

I think the lift kit will create a change in your pin weight, which may cause problems. I have seen TT that have added wight to the rear and cause problmes with the way the trailer handles, and they ened with the TV and TT on their sides. This may also cause stress of the frames which may bend...

sawdust I think we have all found sawdust in some strange palces. But as you clean it up by removing walls and appliances you will undersand how the trailer is put together and find equipment and how to access it. Look at it as a self guided tour of your trailer. Happy cleaning, Butch

Sean, there is a company in Katie, TX that makes racks to tow motorcycles and even golf carts. It uses a three point receiver. For something as light at a scooter you can use the single wheel. since it attached to the trailer there is no backing issues. The make a two will rack that can hold...

Thank you very much

I am seeing some buckling near the pin box and the fibergass is being warped. I went by Ray's RV in West Sacramento the windows are covered and it appears that they are out of the service business. Can you please recomend a Heartland dealer that will be willing to look into and repair if there...

Having eletricity near water sounds a little scary. I know we all do are best to avoid leaks but as we all not electricty and water do not mix. Just my .02

Did you ckeck the wire connections. I had a reading lite above the ben not work becasue one of the wires did not have a good connection.

Alan, thanks for the info. Butch

As I was backing the trailer onto the pad next to the house Sharon stopped me and said it looks like the trailer is buckeling around the pin box area. I have heard about this problem but unable to find anything under "pin box" in the search mode. The trailer is an 06 2925RK Bighorn. Is any...

Wow, there are a lot police officers. I wonder how many firefighters are heartland owners? All police officers know that on the 8th day GOD created firefiighters so cops could have heros. I 26.5 years on the job and 1.5 to go but who's counting. Engine captain station 74 "home of the night...

Hey Larry, hope all is going well. Sharon and I will bring some appetizers and Macaroni salad for the pot luck. Also, please include us for the Italian dinner. I will let you know about our friends. We are on the road in the Pacific Northwest and they are having a heat wave. They have had...

Tom, it is about 4 inches from the cabinet base and about 3 inches from the floor vent. Thanks for the tip. Butch

We are on the road headed for the Pacific Northwest while in the kitchen Sharon noticed a lump under the lino. It is near the base of the cabinet and feels like a nail or screw head. Do you have good suggestion on how to set the nail or screw without putting a hole in the lino? Thanks, Butch

I talked with Chris from customer service and he said the trim has staples pre installed in the trim. He advised that I could use short brads or glue or a combination of both. Thanks Chris (California rep) at customer service.

Thanks Jim. no this the trim that goes from side to side. Butch

Ok I may have lost my first attempt at this question. While getting the trailer ready for a trip I noticed that a trim piece in the bedroom is hanging down. Are these trim pieces glued or stapled into place? I did not see any staples but the ceiling tile feels like there could be staples. I...

We have a 07 BH 2925RK and we have a lot of room under the bed. That is were we store all of the heavy winter blankets. Butch

I have the 06 BH 2925RK and tow it with a 2002 F-250 7.3 diesel and it pulls and stops the unit just fine. Butch

Why do you want to heat hot water?? I have not noticed that with my "water heater". But will give a look when I get home.

Hey Larry, we were talking about the rally to some friends and they would like to attend with their SOB. How do we go about this? They will arrive and leave with us. They will have a 40ft motor home. Thanks, Butch

Hello Larry, We will arrive on 11/13 and leaving on 11/17. We look forward to meeting everyone. Thanks, Butch and Sharon

I just had to replace mine last fall. It took about 30 minutes. Take your plastic vent with you so you get the correct replacement and if you have a tall enough ladder you can replace the lid with out climbing up on the roof.

Thanks for the reply. Butch

Has anybody stayed near the park and if so what is the best access to get the best views? Any good RV parks near by? Thanks for the imput, Butch

I tried to get a response from Heartland, and they came back with 300 lbs, because that is what the ladder can hold. But is that truely what the roof can hold I do not Know. Butch

Eric, last year while traveling in Oregon and Washinton we had the same problem. We found that the wiper strip had folded and was not creating a seal under the slide above the wheels. So, every time we retracted the slideout I would go under the trailer to confirm that the seal was in the...

I carry mine in the bed of the tow vehicle.

Just remember that the bleach and water soultion needs to be made daily to ensure it's at maximum strenght.
