I had a Spray On Roof done this past fall at the end of the season. So far, after some heavy snows and a lot of rain the interior is dry as a powdered baby's butt! I will post some pics when I can gt up top. It is a product from Rhino Liner. NO MORE CAULIKNG! Not cheap, but with a 20 year...

I had an issue with my 2011 Elkridge 5th wheel. The roof had water damage in the rear corner where the ladder was mounted. I weighed the costs: 1.) Replace and repair roof $3200 (replace rotted wood and rubber on 1/2 of roof). 2.) Replace rotted wood and replace entire rubber roof $4500. 3.)...

Unfortunately, I have complained to both and have gotten nothing but the run around. Problem is fixed now. The waterline was not properly clamped, according to my plumber that repaired it on sight for me. Still had to deal with drying the camper out in the storage and water pump area under the...

My issues started right after I picked it up, off of the lot from the dealer. While the camper is 4 years old, I have only had it for 3 years.... Electrical issues, plumbing issues, water coming in from under the slide only when towing, the roof,....These are the major issues, I have corrected...

I have had far too many isues with this camper. Water intrusion is the last straw. 1. the rubber could not be glues back down as there was too much debris attached to it when peeled back. 2. there was a quasi repaired tear on the end of the roof that caused this to begin with. 3. I had the money...

So the Camper went to the shop last week. The pics show what was found under the rubber roof. They found the leak. It was in the rear corner on the edge near the ladder. Apparently a half cocked repair, probably by the dealer I purchased from (their shop is horrible). There waqs a 2 inch tear...

I went to the shop to examine the material. The owner had a sample of rubber4'x4' in size as well as the spray on stuff 4'x4'. About the same weight. Not enough to worry over. So in 2 more weeks I will have the new roof. it is about 10% lighter in weight.

I have a 2011 Elkridge Fifth wheel model 29bhck. It has a rotted spot in the wood near the ladder about 18"x18". I can find no holes or tears in the rubber. Edges at wall seem tight, no cracked call anywhere... Needless to say I am not happy since I bought the full version nit new in 2012...

Check to see if the water heater element is bad. I had an issue that fried my converter and would trip power into the rig. It ended up being a bad element in the water heater. Apparently the neutral wire had a broken terminal (did not find that until I unscrewd the lug) and it caused a short and...

Well today I went to install the new converter. Had a snafu though. I had to find what was causing the issue with my tripping ogf the GFI at the house. Upon investigation I found a broken terminal/neutral wire on my electric side of the water heater. I replaced the element as well as it looked...

I ordered another converter today. Best Converter online after I spoke with a tec over the phone. He agreed that the issue was something shorted in the WFCO stck unit. He also reccomended the Powermax Gen 4 converter over the Progressice Dynamics model. It also has an additional years warranty...

Anyone have any idea what might be wrong with the converter? It is the only thing in the camper that tripped the GFI on my receptacle on the house. When I removed it it stopped. Does the cooling fan run on DC or AC? I seem to recall it running.

I did think of this but it has the 125 volt type plug on it and my outlets do not.

This is all a new problem. Been plugged in this way for years. Voltage has always been the same with the outlet on the house and on the camper. The cord run is only 25' and is a 10 guage cord. The issue goes away when I unplug the converter under the steps. The voltage stays consistant thru out...

So today I checked the GFI outlet in the bathroom. It functioned so long as the breaker in the panesl box for the converter was off. I tested the voltage across the Bathroom GFI and got 115v. I then moved the wall in the understorage compartment and unplugged the converter. I turned on all of...

I have 120 volts coming from the GFI on the house. When I connect to the camper it trips off. I turned off the Main Breaker in my panel as well as all of the other breakers. I turned on the Main and the GFI on house did not trip. Slowly I turned on the remaining breakers in the camper one at a...

Danemayer Cords are good. Power will come into the unit if I turn off the breakers for the GFCI outlet and the Converter... I guess I need to look into those two items a bit more. Not looking forward to the work since it will be 90 outside tomorrow with 85% humidity....

I hook my Elkridge 5th wheel up to 120vac power when parked at home. Today I came home from a trip (no problems on the trip) and after unloading the camper I went to plug it back in and the GFCI outlet I use popped of. I checked everything to be sure there was nothing on. Tried a different...

How hard was the drilling thru the frame rail? I am looking at a similar setup but will use 6" PVC piping and mount with a bolts, fender washers, loc washers and nuts thru the pie into the frame rail. Just curious how hard the drilling was.

Well this was short lived... It continueed to drip. I took it to another repair shop rather then the Heartland dealer here in my area. Those clowns could not fix a bicycle! Not to mention on comeback work they told me in May I had to wait until late July before they could take it! The other...

So since my last post we have been on our first trip of the year with the NEW black tank valve. Now it is dripping into the underbelly where the valve body is sandwiched with the seals. I took them apart to see if the seals are in correctly and they are. Then reassembled, tightened them a little...

I have an Elkrihe Fifth wheel (29BHCK) and have had the black valve repaired, a grey tank cable replaced, and recently the black valve replaced. All of this was covered (minus a deductible) under my extended warranty. I had the same problem you did, usually a gallon or two of nasty black water...

I have a permit for Md as well.

I carry my weapon all of the time when RV'ing. Why? Because I have read articles of folks being robbed, not necessarily at campgrounds but in parking lots (tell me you have never stopped at a Walmart?) rest areas etc. my wife carries as well. I do remember in the past few years reading two...

Two thumbs up for the Ice! I use it on my Elkridge 5th wheel! Does a great job! Easy on, easy off!!

We did a cross country trip all summer and the Black Hills area was one of our stops. We stayed at the Happy Holiday RV park, just outside of Rapid City. Clean campground, nice facilities and close to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer St Park and other local attractions like Bear Country and...

I may take mine to another dealer and have the other type of valves put on so they are outside of the underbelly. They either open the other valves and permanently seal them open or remove them. Maintenance would be easier if they were exposed too.

Brake light out.... They stop all the time for that stuff hoping to catch a drug runner or drunk. Gives reason for a stop. They can not access Florida's database for permits. He also says they do not pop up in Md when they run a Md resident.

Danemayer. I am well aware of the laws in Md. If you are referring to the Baltimore incident with the MDTA police, read my last comment in that thread. There was a lot more to that story.

The whole story was never told in this Florida residents case. I have a friend that that is the supervisor for the officer involved in this story. The man was asked if he had a permit from Florida. When asked was he carrying the weapon he initially denied to answer as the officer told him Md...

So the Mrs. Has completed her CCW permit class and we are on a ten week trip out west. Utilizing my Utah and Florida permits and enjoying my freedom here versus at home! I am carrying either the XDs .45acp OWB or my M&P 9c OWB. The Mrs. Is proudly carrying the LCP in her hip pocket!

Thanks for the fix fellas! I am in Montana, a long way from my home in Maryland! The staff in the maintenance dept. At St. Mary's KOA outside of Glacier Natl. Park had some threaded rod and hose clamps. These will be some items going into my parts box as soon as I can get to a hardware store...

I looked behind the wall to find the cable is attached to the handle but the sheath is pulled away. I have been doing ok except that the grey water from the bathroom drains off very slowly. The valve must be partly open. These cables are a,stupid design, or,at least in my opinion they are. I...

So, now that I am 1700 miles from home i have found that the grey tank #1 (my shower/sink holding tank for bathroom) cable in my 2011 Elkridge Bunkhouse 5th wheel has broken and the valve is partly open. Good news is that it does drain but very slowly. Anyone ever replaced one of these before...

Recumbent615, I do use maps, both paper and online when traveling and do plan a route before leaving for my destinations. I am more concerned with things like low overpass, bridges, tunnels etc as well as traffic updates. I also like the GPS for when we are unhooked and free of the camper to...

Any thought on when this may be completed?

Dinette Update: We ordered one from Heartland and it will be installed by our dealer upon arrival there. It is awaiting a dead head shipment to the dealer so I won't pay a large freight charge. I will take pics after the installation.

Ok, so I have read thru many of the comments here on the newer RV GPS units..... I was hoping for input on the newer Rand McNally, Magellan and Garmin units.. We are heading into uncharted waters in June for a 10-11 week trip and I need suggestions. I currently have a Garmin nuvi for the...

Mattpop, I really would have liked a new 3500 but could not swing the payment on a fixed income. Soooooo, I found a very clean 2012 3500 SRW 4x4 crew cab. It is in great shape with 20k miles. Installing the mounts for the Fifth Wheel next week. Got a few things to do (tint front door windows...

We certainly will. We did go to our dealer after the big regional show last September in Hershey Pa. They had the newer version of our camper on the lot. Same size slide and all. It had a dinette in it and was much easier for us to get around the table. I do see and get the fact of people moving...
