A friend of mine has a motorhome with the auto start feature, but I believe it only kicks the gen on in the event of loss of power from the pedestal.

The reason I'm asking is because a friend wanted some Sailuns but was talked into ordering 14 ply Hercules tires equivalent to the Sailuns by our local tire store. They actually looked identical, other than the name. After bringing in the rig for install, they could not get the 14 ply Hercules...

Even if it does need all the dicor sealant replaced its only 3 or 4 tubes of self leveling sealant @ $10 or so per tube, and about 3 to 4 hrs labor. The price they are quoting is ridiculous.

I recall reading about this before and the solution was changing out the splitters with a higher quality splitter, but not amplified. The factory splitters were interfering with the signal.

A marketing ploy explicitly targeting the naïve !

I had the same issue on my Sundance and ordered the replacements on amazon. Apparently it's just another result of inferior products made on the cheap for the RV industry. Everything in my RV seems to be deteriorating at record speed. My couch/loveseat/air bed is fabric and every sewn seem is...

Re: No Landmarks ???? We just visited Explorer USA near Canton, Tx and the salesman there said they will no longer carry any Heartland products in the future. They still had a few Prowlers and a Big Horn on the lot. His take was that Heartland has become difficult to deal with and would not...

Thanks for the suggestions Bill, I tried each to no avail. Just for kicks with the unit off I punched the propane button on the eyebrow off and on about 10 times vigorously and then hit the auto on button and it went to electric. At that point I felt sure the propane switch/circuit board was...

As long as I can remember I've had the issue of my fridge automatically switching to propane, even though 110v was present. So, according to the Dometic manual if I have 110v present at the circuit board, from the plug, but not transferring power over to the heater rod with the auto button in...

I wonder if they effect the wheel balance ? It would be interesting to see the difference with and without !

I think I recall someone saying that in some instances the bathroom sink drains into the black tank. If that's the case there may not be a need for a gray tank in a half bath.

Re: Salesmen suck What the OP probably meant, or should have said, is that some salesman suck. And yes some are quite annoying when they act like they know it all and keep giving their pitch instead of listening to the customer. There is a difference in a professional and someone posing as...

Hi Nancy, just made reservations for Janie and I, arriving the 28th and leaving on the 1st. We will be in a back in site, where ever those are. Looking forward to it !!! Walter

My Sundance did not have an access panel. I removed the shower water valves and it was right beside the other water lines. It was difficult to get to with such a small area but I bypassed it so I no longer have to worry about it. I know technically you should have one but the chance of it ever...

I think that will be the winterization hose from your water pump to use for drawing antifreeze out of the gallon bottle and pumping it to your faucets. It works like this. After you bypass your water heater, then you open the valve to the hose (with open end) and insert it into the jug of...

From the old saying " The squeaky wheel always gets the grease ". I believe I would be squeaking loudly if my roof looked like that. I think the warranty has verbage such as " warranted against manufacturers defects " If this is not a manufacturers defect then I don't know what is. For them...

We camp a lot at state parks with no sewer at the site and have used a lot of these same methods to conserve water usage using the park restrooms, not the showers so much, but would if needed to. The wife always uses a container she found that fits perfectly in the sink to do dishes and then...

It may be that the cable has jumped off of one of it's pulley's. I don't think slack alone would cause it to stick. The cables are not that difficult to adjust according to the manual. It's the Bal Accuslide that uses the cable system.

Thanks for the quick response Erika. Mine is the single loom, which I found and ordered using your link to e-trailer.

The long plastic piece that supports the wire loom up under the slide has broken allowing the wires to hang down when the slide is closed. What is this piece called and can I buy it on line or local? I've rigged it once already but I'd like to replace it.

Re: water pump not pulling water from fresh water tank If the water heater is empty it will take a long time for the pump to fill it up before a full flow of water will reach the sink. Also, be sure all the low point drain line valves are closed. Of course if they are not you should have...

It looks like the Bal Accuslide with the cables. Mine looks identical underneath and I have been fighting leaks since it was new. Every time I think I have found and fixed the leak it rains and there it is again, always on the outside corner. Previously only on one side, now on both sides, and...

Erika, those pics indicate to me that the problem may very well stem from the install of the ac units from the factory. If that gap on the right is allowing the air to leak back into the return chamber of the ac it could very well cause the loss of pressure required for output and effect the...

I believe avvidclif is on the right track. The system has to build enough pressure to force the air down through the vents. If not, where is that pressure leaking. The units may have to come off the roof to make sure there is not a problem with the pressure bleeding into the return air keeping...

After only pulling my rig (in the sig line) 4 times I read the horror stories and sure enough after giving my blowmax tires a good look, one of them was swollen up and fixing to blow. I took it to my tire guy and immediately ordered 4 new Maxxis, and while at it I changed from the D rated tire...

Check the leaf spring to see if it is flat. If it has flattened out(collapsed) it becomes longer and may be the culprit. As far as the wear on the tires, it may or may not be due to the current alignment. The towmax brand tires are notorious for uneven treadwear. Keep us posted as to what you...

Yes, M8008 are the ones I have. To be honest, I would have preferred LT tires for the same reasons you stated, but were unaware of any available with the load capacity. What brand and size did you put on your 5r ? I'm not familiar with the Hi Run tires that JohnD has so I'm curious about those...

Discount can order Maxxis tires, but they will most likely recommend Carlisle because they keep them in stock. If you decide to order Maxxis just make sure to specify that you don't want to accept any tires that the date code indicates more than 6 months old. For some reason I've been hearing of...

The deciding factor for me on the Maxxis was I could not find an LT in the 225 75 15 that had enough load capacity. Also, Maxxis has the longest warranty of any trailer tire. Its 5 yrs. Google them and see what you think, they have a good reputation for an ST tire. I don't hear good things...

You will be very happy with the 5200lb axles vs the 4400lb. The 4400lb springs are too close to their limit and are more likely to flatten over time. Another plus is that the 6 lug wheels will allow for an upgrade on your tires when you decide to replace them. Mine came with the towmax D rated...

I've purchased 2 brand new rigs and each one came with brand new batteries installed and full propane tanks.

If I recall correctly, the 4400lb axles are 5 lug and the 5200lb axles are 6 lug. I can assure you that your duramax will not even know its back there. I pull my 277RL with a 6.0 2500 with no problems and its at least 750lbs heavier dry weight than the 265.

I ran into the same confusion when I purchased my Sundance in my sig line. I looked at the rigs listed as 9900 and they had 4400lb axles. Mine had 5200lb axles therefore the higher GVW.

Awesome !

Both my swivel rockers cracked and peeled in little pieces. I finally had to replace them they looked so bad. My love seat is cloth but is tearing at the seams in multiple places. It's a shame that the furniture is so cheaply made.

Congratulations !!! Looks awesome !

Is that Tyler State Park?

I have several friends in that area that have used Hilltop RV for yrs now and say they treat their customers very well.

Thanks for the replies agpopp and Gary521. I took the shower faucet off and located the vacuum breaker. I took the vacuum breaker off and blew through it with my mouth and it seemed plugged, but I hooked it to my hose outside and water flowed through it just fine. I took your advise Gary521...

Today I was flushing my black tank and heard a pop, then noticed very little water was making it into the tank. I assumed the vacuum breaker had broken and started looking for water leaking but found none. Some water is making it into the tank as I can hear it behind the shower enclosure and see...
