    ATF: ElkRidge - Auto level / couch-dining

    First sorry for the slightly delayed reply. Haven't been as active on the forums since my coach turned into a full time habitat for my MIL. For #3 I had the 6 point level-up auto-leveling system installed on my 2013 37 Ultimate. It was around 5 grand and required me to get my coach back to...

    Windows 10, anyone?

    I've been running Window 10 for months now. For those of you who've wished to be able to submit feedback directly to Microsoft, the "Windows Feedback" application gives you the ability to do just that. As with any new software release there are a few glitches. It'll take a month or two to get...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: WA, Monitor - 7/17/2015 to 7/19/2015

    Well good and bad news! First off the good news. My mother-in-law has sold her home and has decided she's moving closer to us to be with the grandkids. The bad news... Her moving "Closer" means moving into our RV while we work on getting into a new place with a MIL suite. This all happened...

    Need Tow Vehicle for NT 33BKSS--help!

    I'll also share my experience with a tow trailer and a smaller truck. I had a 30 foot tow behind with a dry weight of 10k lbs. I had a Tundra rated to haul 10k lbs. I put airbags and a bunch of towing equipment into the Tundra just to be sure. It pulled that camper just fine. It was...

    Washington state Camping?

    If you're further north we've really enjoyed the Grandy Creek KOA: http://koa.com/campgrounds/concrete. It's dog/kid friendly and really close to Lakes for fishing and is really close to Schreibers Meadow Trailhead where I've hiked in the past and it's an amazing adventure. There are lots of...

    Count us down for a truck and trailer wash/wax. It's been far too long since the 37 ultimate has been pampered.

    2 cracks in my side next to slide outs

    I had this exact same thing happen on my 2013 Elkridge 37 Ultimate last June after a long road trip. Turns out to be caused mostly by frame flex. Mine was flex behind the axels and it cracked both corners on one of the slides. Heartland repaired mine better than new. They sent it to lippert...

    2013 ElkRidge Questions

    Correct, 37 ultimate bunkhouse doesn't have a 12v DC switch standard. Easy to add though. Also the curb side flush is for the rear black tank as you suspected. I hope they enjoy their RV! I know we have.

    Elkridge Camp Kitchen - Sink

    I just remodeled my outside kitchen on a 2013 37 Ultimate. I can say that we mostly use the outside kitchen when cooking/camping. The sink was way too small, but I understand why it is after seeing the clearance under the slide when drawn in. I sacrificed the counter space to add the larger...

    37 Ultimate rear kitchen remodel

    Our rear kitchen in our 2013 37 Ultimate kept getting water inside somehow and eventually it ruined the cabinet wood and slider material. Well I finally decided it was time to remodel that kitchen as we do use it quite a bit while we're out. Anyhow I found out where the water was coming in...

    Steadyfast - Trailer Stabilization System

    I've used the system a few times and Love it. I must say you really have to remember to unscrew the wing-nuts prior to raising or lowering your landing gear (oops). That being said I've had no problem with the drill and countersunk bolts which I used. I can see if you have welding equipment...

    Fantastic Kitchen Vent

    Those little push switches are chrome and tend to rust\stick extremely easily if not used all the time. I know my fantastic fan in my back bathroom of my 37 Ultimate did the same thing although it was beyond recovery. I ended up forcing it down enough to where the outer casing was stuck down...

    Read Through all the Blow Max Posts Need Tire Recommendation

    As I understand it the upgraded tires are an option you can add. So the choice is the dealer/customer unless you go with landmark 365. Sadly dealers don't opt for the upgrade frequently potentially as it adds cost when compared to another dealer.

    What is up with Heartland's website?

    There is definitely something wrong with their site (either load related or something otherwise). All of my web browsers requests to fetch their image material and other assets for their websites are timing out and being aborted by the browser. Could also be ISP congestion but only Heartland...

    Steadyfast - Trailer Stabilization System

    Well Steady-fast system is now installed. Took about a day in total (2 half days). I'll say that if you plan on installing them yourself it's worth it to get the 5/16 coarse tap to tap out the holes and not rely on the self tapping screws they send with you. As far as the 6 point leveling...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Yesterday installed magnetic door clasps and the rear arm of my Steady-fast stabilizer system. Today I tackle the hard part... The front supports and integrating them with my 6 point level-up system.

    Cargo Door Supports

    I was originally worried until I figured out how much pressure it actually took to separate the magnets. It's not much - 7Lbs seemed like a lot on paper. I didn't mind just placing them in the skin. If I have issues with it (which is a possibility) I'll use some of those dry-wall style...

    Hoover Dam - can't get in visitor center with a knife.

    I would love to see places like this offer locker rental for your things that cannot pass. I would pay to keep my pocket knife and not have to walk back - also turns onto an extra revenue source. It certainly isn't the same world. I am quite a bit younger than most here at 33 but I remember...

    cold winter hunting

    My opinion your best bet is to haul the water with you. Take a air compressor and be sure you blow out your lines each time you will be gone. If you rig it right you could have a pump from a tank in our truck bed pump water into the city inlet of the trailer that way you are not dealing with...

    Cargo Door Supports

    Well the magnetic latches are installed. Had to make two orders to get all the parts so I'll list my learnings here for you. First there are two sides to the magnets. They don't come as a set so you have to order one of each (makes them a little pricey at 8.45 each side or 17.10 for one set)...

    Looking for "brain" that goes with the remote that controls the slides etc.

    In my 2013 37 ultimate the brain box is behind a false wall in the space above the fridge. In my case the remote would light up and I could hear a clicking sound but no action. Turned out that the entire control board needed to be replaced. It's a pricey unit. If you are not hearing any of...

    Steadyfast - Trailer Stabilization System

    Just had my setup delivered last week. Thinking about trying to man handle install maybe this week or next on top of my 6 point level-up system. Not exactly sure if I can put the feet that comes with it on the front pads, but I'll figure it out somehow. Will report back on my experience once...

    New Member and New Camper - Looking for advice on Converter issue

    Yes I can confirm. Get yourself a power protector/Surge Guard. They seem expensive but they will save you money down the line. I had to replace both Microwaves, Blu-Ray, 2 TVs, a Dish Hopper receiver, the Power Converter and the control-board to my fridge because of faulty power (all while I...

    Just a thought...

    Hello fellow forum goers and heartland owners. I was not sure where to put this idea so I posted it here, please move where more appropriate. I was sitting here riding in the passengers seat on a trip (sadly no RV) and was thinking about many of the recent posts around quality control and...

    38rsrt interior changes?

    I had damage on my unit as a result of an improperly built frame. That was a 2013 model year though. I would invest in: * new tires - get away from the towmax before you leave the dealer. I personally went with 17" wheels and g116 tires. These units are heavy and long and will blow those...

    37 Ultimate Bunk House Ladders?

    I got the 66" ladders, could have gone smaller, but they work out: Here are a few pictures of the ladders in place: I should mention my cheep and quick "anti fall" bars on the top bunks. I have kids that love to roll... right out of bed :) They might not look amazing but they keep the kids...

    38rsrt interior changes?

    During a factory tour they mentioned that the front closet was changes to place the washer\dryer location to both be on the door side per customer feedback. Previously they had the washer\dryer split one on each side with the fronts pointed in the middle of the closet. This meant that you had...

    Underbelly Overhaul

    Heartland is trying to be competitive in a very close margin business. Normal consumers (my opinion anyhow) will walk away from a unit which costs 5-10k more with no visual difference. A vast majority of purchasers are not as well educated or as aware during their purchase as most of our forum...

    Big Country/ Bighorn versus Elkridge

    It really depends on which 6 months you are present vrs away. If you're going to be living in the unit during the colder months, then you can not beat the increased insulation in the Luxury models (BC/Landmark etc) as they are designed to be 4 season lived in. The Elkridge bunk house models...

    Yeti Cooler

    I have an ice maker and love it. Takes about 30 min to have quite a bit of ice made (10 min per drop) so at worst you'd have to wait 10 min for a glass of ice when stopped. They are pricey 260.00 for mine if I remember right but I got it at camping world. I did learn that the stores do not...
