Thanks for the input everyone. Upon further review, I agree.....this IS an insane idea. Consider it printed, shredded, and tossed into the compost bin!

Premise: Our traveltrailer is used perhaps 6 or 7 times per year on actual campingexcursions. While parked at home it willalso double as a guest house during holidays and family gatherings. While not in use I try to keep the wastewater holding tank as empty and clean as possible in...

I appreciate your point regarding additional spending on the front end. I don't have a really good reason other than I'm a cheap sob (my limited understanding of this particular context on this particular site means I'm 'some other brand'......I'm ok with that.) All kidding aside, storage is...

I have been contemplating purchasing a FloJet Macerating Pump System for the express purpose of cleaning the holding tanks while at home. I have ready access to the septic tank clean out port, but it is probably a good 50+ feet from how close I can park the travel trailer to the house. My...

Thanks for the input Bob. I'll invest in a new battery and try to remember to check the cells on a better schedule than this first one. Would love to see a picture of the '58 Belair!

I took hydrometer readings in all 6 cells of my RV battery. Results: Cell 1: Gage reads in between 1.275 and 1.300 specific gravity; ("Good Condition") on the hydrometer scale. Cell 2: Gage reads in between 1.100 and 1.150 specific gravity; ("Recharge") on the hydrometer scale. Cell 3: Same...

Regardless the basic conversation, my wife would look at the title and immediately declare an oxymoron; after which she would inquire if I had weeded the garden yet.......... Grin.

I discovered in my Travel Trailer the same issue, a very noisy water pump. The excess noise was coming from the outlet hose vibrating against the wall board cut out where the hose passed thru. The hose was in contact with the structure and the noise was amplified thru the wall. The remedy was...

This is kind of a strange problem. If anyone has any similar experience and / or suggestions, please, by all means, chime in. Lately, especially after a rain event followed by freezing air temps, the 'brush' like weather stripping on the bottom of the screen door collects the moisture from the...

Thank you for the information.

Rig: Heartland M21 Edge, 2011 model. I am temporarily storing a fellow camper's rig on my property. It does not get used very often and I am about to winterize it for the off season. The unit has 2 full size batteries connected in series. The owner has also invested in 2 solar panel trickle...

Washed the exterior from top to bottom. Even with a small travel trailer, this is a daunting task. The summer dust, dirt, and predictable rains have combined to leave a lot of ugly surface conditions. Took almost 3 hours, but the camper looks SO much better now. Hopefully, DW and I can get...

Thank you and your husband for your service!

Strongly concur!

Alive and well in Southeast Virginia, waiting for the next available 3 day weekend in order to leave the driveway. I need to retire so I can make any weekend a 3 day event.......problem is, my wife keeps saying 'Not yet.' Also, just read your other post on Edge maitenance tips. Good ideas...

Hi Randy, Thank you for the assist. I am going to go experiment with how you have presented the settings and check the barrier movement in both motions. Thanks again, Scott

Is there an optimal or predicted manner of barrier deployment when the slide is engaged in either the extending or retracting motion? Reason for the question: There are 4 rubber barriers that protect the interior of the coach at all points along the slide / coach periphery. When my slide is...

The shower handle on the hose attachment for the exterior shower assembly developed cracks at the seam on the pistol grip. When the valves are open, water is purging thru these cracks; the shower handle obviously needs to be replaced. I have the part on order from Camping World, currently...

Just came back from wandering around the annual Virginia Beach RV show. Certainly not in any position to trade up just yet, but saw several units with a unique lighting scheme embedded in the awning. They appear to be LED lights running the of the roller mechanisim and are a brilliant blue...

Appliance: Suburban furnace model NT-16SE. Problem: During a normal re-lighting event based on the thermostat setting, a pop sound was heard coming from the grille at the front of the furnace and subsequently there was no longer any warm air coming from the appliance. Troubleshooting: The...

Good advice! Thank you. Scott

Is the exterior roof surface and subsurface of the M-22 sturdy enough to walk on in order to perform regular maintenance such as cleaning? I was on a ladder the other day washing the roof proper with a long handled brush / water hose combination device and after having moved the ladder for the...

Hi all, Our TT has one slide that incorporates the couch / dining area. As other M22 owners will understand, the opposing ends of the slide room proper are on the road side of the TT. The right hand side (looking in from the entrance door) is adjacent to what would be the left side of the...

I note products available to aid in evacuating holding tanks at home should the need arise. Although I do not know the rated capacity of the underground tank on my property, it is obviously large enough for service mandated for a 3 bedroom house. I have never had a need to have it pumped and...

Crapola.....back to the drawing board.....DW helped. Ahhhh......good old 'copy & paste'

Crapola.....back to the drawing board.....DW helped.

OK. Lets see if this works. Admittedly, 2 states visited with our new Edge is not very impressive, but it is a start. Thanks to all who offered assistance.....especially Jim and his 8 fat crayons........

How does one go about adding the United States map icon to a saved signature?

Problem solved! The incoming valve (from the tank to the pump) had been closed for a prior winterizing process and was not reversed before we took delivery. I found the pump, opened the incoming valve while ensuring the winterizing line valve remained closed, added some water to the tank, hit...

Thanks! I'll do some exploratory surgery in the next few days to locate the pump and the associated bypass valve configurations. While I appreciate my POC at the dealer and the requisite walk thru at delivery, more and more I'm beginning to suspect that this particular individual was not as...

Kevin, I had to Google 'UDC' to follow your suggestion. (Shows how new I am to the world of RVing); in any event, I learned that 'UDC' stands for Universal Docking Station. The Heartland website has a nice training video on UDCs if you happen to own a luxury 5th Wheel, at least that is how it...

I have a 2011 M-22 travel trailer. Took delivery 2 weeks ago and the shakedown cruise was last weekend. We tested all components except the fresh water tank and the water pump. Nice weather today so I though I would put a few gallons in thru the gravity feed inlet and make sure I had water...

All of the assistance is much appreciated. I had to return to the dealer the other day to re-sign some warranty documents, unrelated to the issue at hand, however, I raised the concern with my point of contact at the dealer and he told me that this was an unsatisfactory situation, that he...

Thank you all for the input. Follow on reply per post: Hi Bob, the junction box is located under the left side of the hitch frame, as you are looking at the rear of the TV. I'll have to re-measure to confirm distance from various points discussed. The cord follows the frame and I would...

New M-22 owners here. Just returned from our shakedown cruise. 3 times on our trip back home, the 7 pin electrical connection from the trailer to the tow vehicle recepticle would dislodge during 90° turn engagements. Even if I tried to reduce the relative strain on the connection by swinging...

Hi Dave, Thank you for the reply. My dad (an RVer for many years now) gave me some sound advice as well: "Take every thing you think you will NEVER need as far as general repair is concerned, because as soon as you are 1 mile past the point of no return, you will find that you need whatever it...

New M-22 owners here as well. On our shakedown cruise. The dinette / bed conversion must not be a hot topic of training across the general dealership personnel. Our walkthru at delivery question about the conversion stumped our seller too. It was only after I suggested to him that the board...

New M-22 owners here on our shakedown cruise. Picked a rather challenging weekend weatherwise (on the oceanfront with significant wind / rain event going on as this is being typed.) Will definitely be on the lookout for water intrusion via the wheel well locations. Also will stock up on some...
