This thread is old - but relevant. The replies are spot On. i live in California,so the snow is not an issue. The wind has not been an issue as I have 4straps around the bell. The sun is another issue. I would love to put in a canop, but insufficient room. I switched to the “National Covers -...

This may be a late reply, but a wealth of good advice here. I have used the auto level feature since 2012. I don’t know how I lived without it. However I do not use th plastic blocks, nor snap pads. 2x12’s. Plastic blocks sink in dirt and asphalt (lost some that way). I am always concerned snap...

A few years back my beautiful bride driving, I had told her numerous times with the weight behind her, she ends to allow more time to break. One issue with drum/electric brakes is they work better after being warmed up. Well she went straight thru a red lite - very glad to see there was no...

There are a few RV REVIEWS on line RVT.COM, RV reviews.net, consumers reports and trailer life has some as well. The first two give a lot of consolidated feedback on manufacturing, reliability, and warranty. As well as options and comfort. I looked there before lagging on the Heartland brand...

I have a 2012 3070RL, it was built on a 10"frame therefore no room to inlclude an "Arctic package" according to the factory. The Landmark was built on a 12" frame. After spending a spring n Iowa, with temperatures in the 20's I would not recommend it, without some modifications. I incorporated a...

Post sent, but not finished. My height with accessories is 13 5 feet. I put a large number on the nose so I can see it in my rear view. I have encountered many road conditions have posted length, width and height restriction. I have a installed a towed trailer behind me, so my overall length is...

Approached the gate at Zion, was refused entry (did not fit between the lines). Later found out I was too tall. Always good to know what was ahead. Had to turn around, resulted in an additional 100+ miles and over two hours. The first two numbers in the model "used to" be representative of the...

I have owned multiple trailers for over 30 years, but this is a first I heard of a Black/Grey combo tank. I know traps are designed to keep tank odors from the living spaces. Normally the Black pipe is larger (2 in) than the Grey (1-1.5 in). I do see two pipes coming from the rear (assumed), but...

I agree with TravelTigher. Great product avail on Amazon. You can buy with an indicator to mount inside your rig and have the same features as the Motohome owners have. Even bought one for the house BBQ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Just noted your post, also noted it was a year ago. Assume you made a decision by now. Also assume by "Tote " you are referring to a small trailer behind your rig, assumed to be a trailer vrs 5th Wheel. After a bit of research, I settled on an Idaho Tote. Other option are the one or two swivel...

Like jnhobe I have a 50 gal custom tank with a 6 in tray for tools. Also have an Advanced Flip top cover (4 sections) that acts as the tool box/tank cover, and the other three sections fold to expose the hitch. Yes It toes make the hitch difficult to see while hitching, so I installed a rear...

I have a fold up cover from American Covers - 4 section. The rear folds up the last 3 sections, leaving ample room for the hitch, and lowers over the hitch when not hooked up. The front section is a single panel. I installed an auxiliary fuel tank, withe a tool box on top (custom made), which...

One point I failed to se mentioned here is Circuit breakers are designed to protect the wiring (AWG) not the terminal equipment. As circuit breakers are slow reacting, Load protection is installed to protect the appliances from surges. That said your 30 main in the trailer will protect your...

One special note for those that use the Idaho Tote. The compressor switch mounted on the rear of the air tank will fail. The compressor is a good unit, however the draw is over 25 amps. Most switches will ultimately fail, and you will be without air. Subsequently, at slow speeds, if you find a...

Anyone out there have an Idaho Tote? Anyone that does experienced an issue with compressor failure? The pressure switch used is inadequate for the current draw of the compressor and subsequently burns out after time. I have a solution if interested Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

A lot of good advice here as expected. Only thing to add is a "Low Clearance" feature to your choice of GPS. I have a Garmin Nuvi, there is a add on you can download from lowclearacces.com, some have the feature built in. I was caught off guard once, had to turn around and detour over 100 miles...

Re: Frustrated Your story brigs back memories of our first stay in Iowa (Ankeny). Supposed to be a warm spring, the temp dropped into the low 20's. I was caught off guard, had to improvise. Our Bighorn was not made to be a winter coach. Had to add a heater to the fresh water tank. The electric...

I feel your pain, had the same happen to me on a trip a couple years ago. I was warned about Towmax (aka Blowmax) but could not bring myself to replace perfectly good tires. There are multiple threads attributed to this subject, the core causes - Blowmax tires. I replaced all five. Goodyear is...

Now to address the original issue. I see no reference where the factory was addressed. Jim Belitti is the owners advocate, and from what I have noted he has done a superb job. Try contacting him with your issues. I have visited the factory and witnessed how the install these rubber roofs. I find...

Only one comment, the "eve" s have the tendency to tear the covers, especially if you have and wind issues. I resolved that issue by talking "Wiffle" baseballs (any sporting goods sales), cutting a 3/4 " hole, and sliding it over the "eve" or drain spout before putting the over on. I cover mine...

Had a similar instance but the temp dropped lower. "Propane" is not supposed to freeze until 60+ below zero, however Butane has a higher OX content and freezes around 20 degrees. I got a bad batch, I suspect had a high OX content, and the lines froze to the point where nothing worked. Had to...

The center cone came loose, I was attempting to glue back on. However I cannot figure how to get the guard off. Any ideas. I can find a replacement on Amazon for $30 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

There is a add on yo most GPS systems called LowClearance.com. Worth a look Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have a satellite dish on my 2012 3070 BH. I measured it using a laser while unhooked and level at 13' 4". So I marked it 13' 6". Recently went under a bridge labeled 13'6" and cleared without issue (slowly). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great job Chuck and Donna. We had a antastic time, despite a little moisture. Had the opertunity to meet some great people, and share some memorable stories. Looking forward to the next one, but now it is time to address the chores

A special thanks to Trace and Terry. These events are difficult to pull off without some hiccups, but we think you did a great job. Sorry we did not stick around for the conclusion, personal reasons, but wanted to let you know we appreciate the work you put into it. Hope to see you again soon

A special thanks to a Jim Belitti and his staff for a great rally. We had a great time, met with some old and new friends. Got some great ideas and mods for future enhancements. Thanks for the great advice. Not sure we will make to Indiana, conflicts. But will enjoy it almost as much thru your posts

Re: how long will they last We are it full timers, but we have gone across the states 4 times with each trip 3-4 months. Ours are a a 2012, and neither has failed yet. The electric element failed once, however that may have been my fault - turned it in with no water in the tank Sent from my...

Nice thread. You should be applauded for doing your homework up front. I have a 2012 3070 (14000 GVWR), but I too have a 3/4 ton. Worked great for me, but it would seem your options are greater. When we were looking, I found it difficult to match a good product along with a good dealer. Someone...

Like many that replied, we went to the Internet. RVServiceReviews.com was one of my considerations sites. We live in San Diego, but purchased from RVOutlet USA in Danville Virginia. Dealer/Owner was great, and as my Significant Other states "saved you money". Later when I elected to install the...

Farmer45. CB boosters is somewhat different. First most are bootlegged, and uncontrolled. Some ill "tweet" there unit so a power meeter reads higher. This really does not provide more intelligent power, but more spectrum splatter. It overrides adjacent channels because of the harmonics generated...

Being in the computer and network business since inception, I am having logical issues with this technology. So if someone could point to articles that clarify it would be appreciated. WiFi is one technology, and Celluar technology is another, to achieve the same result. A Celluar "hot spot"...

Sad to hear about your issues. Mine is a 2012, and yes I had issues. However an associate Westwind, also bought his about the same time, and it wasn't his first. I had issues, but he trumped me. Sometime I think about what they say about cars built in the spring, or on Sunday. And who would...

Just a suggestion. I have a rental, and the tenant was complaining that some of the burners were not igniting with the piezo, only with an external match. I could not see a reason why. However I noted the metal/porcelain was slightly discovered due to cooking spills. I cleaned it with kitchen...

Thanks for the hint on 20 minutes. I will have to check that out Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My mechanic said it "may" be the fuel filter housing is cracked, however they could not prove it. By putting a low pressure pump at the tank, I expected to see leaks in the housing, seals, or filters. However nothing has materialized. I have considered the Cat filter option for the future...

Sorry for the late reply, just noted this forum. Recently I inquired about this fuel cooler. What I was told it is located on the "return" side, not the feed side. The reason (purpose) is the fuel pump is on the motor near the injectors, fuel not needed dependent on you instantaneous fuel...

Just an FYI for those fellow GM tow vehicles. Recently had an issue where the truck would start, then die 2 minutes later. Found air in the fuel feed system. After priming, ran fine for a while then the same symptom. Thought the problem was the plastic bleeder, replaced it with a machined one -...
