    Blank tank valve very hard to open/close

    I really appreaciate the info, however I'm still a little fuzzy on where you are suggesting to put the penetrating oil on, the actual valve, the cable, the pull handle. I am currently at work and can't crawl underneath and get look at or I might understand a little (then again I might not)...

    Blank tank valve very hard to open/close

    What kind of lube. Do you mean lube the cable, or the actual valve. Do you mean where it connects under the black tank, not where you pull the handle. The reason I ask is the only gas lines I can think would be over by the pull handles.

    Mission Tires?

    Alkyspeed, Am I missing something? Didn't you write that you were inflating 65# max tires to 72# and then complaining that it isn't inflation pressure, owner neglect or normal usage that caused failure. I am pretty sure that over inflating a tire could be considered improper inflation, owner...

    Condensation

    I run a dehumidifer. Bought it at Lowe's. put it in the closet( have to leave the door open) . Then added the drain hose and routed down through the basement and out the bottom. Now I never have to empty a bucket. I never have a humidity or condensation problem since making this addition.

    Apollo microwave

    I was wrong. It is a GE Model JES1139BL01. Basically I went out to Wal-mart, Target, any place that had microwaves, took a tape measure and found one that fit. Then built a new mount and now I have a better micowave and it didn't cost as much as a new apolla rv microwave.

    Apollo microwave

    Same thing happened to me. To my knowledge I didn't have an extended warranty to cover it. So I took it to a small appliance shop and they fixed it(for about a month). Only cost about as much as a new one to get it fixed. After it crapped out again. I went to target found a sharp carasouel...

    I was looking at putting maxxis tire on my trailer and noticed that the maxxis tires are slightly larger diameter than the china bombs. I think it would make my bal chocks useless. How close between the wheels is two close. Is anyone running maxxis tires and if so what kind of clearance to...

    Battery gauge flatlines

    Original batteries. It goes to the position it is in when turned off. What I saw it do was, suddenly the battery gauge went completely flat, like I had just turned the truck off. Then just as suddenly, popped right back on and ran the next 60 miles without incident. I checked the battery...

    I've got a 2004 Dogdge 2500 quad cab. Once on each of the last two days the battery gauge flatlined on me. It stayed flat lined for about 20 seconds during which the check gauges lite comes on. Then the gauge comes back to life with full power and the check gauges lite goes off. Anyone...

    Overhang sagging

    Any idea where the cross members are. If I can find them, I guess I should predrill a hole then screw it in with a little loctite on it. Any chance Heartland would have the specs on where the precise placement of the crossmembers might be.

    2nd Air Conditioner for Bedroom

    You can get a carrier low profile on ebay for around $570 plus around $100 shipping. Self install is easy if I did it. The only hard part is getting it on the roof. Of course if you have to move a satelitte dish, that's something I don't have a clue about.

    Overhang sagging

    I don't think moisture is an issue. I has been a little saggy since I got it. It just seems to be sagging more as time goes on. Unfortunately It is out of warranty. Any ideas on a quick fix that I could do.

    ? My freshwater tank is draining/ It was never filled?

    Maybe that is what I have going on. I had never used my freshwater tank. But recently I did fill it because we were without power and wanted to have some water in reserve if the well went out. When I tried to test it the pump wouldn't pump anywater. I got in the basement and opened a...

    ? My freshwater tank is draining/ It was never filled?

    This maybe a stupid question but, where is the check valve, what does it look like, is it part of the water pump. Basically how do I identify it so that I can replace it.

    ? My freshwater tank is draining/ It was never filled?

    I have an 07' 3400 RL. As I understand the layout of the tanks, I have a drain on the freshwater tank (at least I thought it was the drain for only the freshwater tank) and a couple of valves on the docking station for emptying the lines. I am getting ready for winterizing my unit and opened...

    2nd A/c Fantastic fan

    My 2007 3400RL came with a fantastic fan and it was wired and framed for the second a/c. So I would bet that you can still get them that way. If you are considering adding the second A/C I would strongly suggest getting it that way from the factory. It will be cheaper in the long run and no...

    Ducting out of the furnace

    Thanks for the info on the possible leaks around the furnace I will check. What about the 2" hose. It is just loose under the bedroom. Is it supposed to be this way (heating that space). What about the underbelly where the tanks are. How does the heat actually get to the tanks for heating...

    Heat to the underbelly

    I have an 07' 3400 RL. I was in the basement and pulled off the wall to look around and see how well insulated and heated it was underneath. I noticed that there is a 2" hose loose behind the wall and around the docking station. I also see there is a 4" hose to the bathroom heat register. I...
