    selling question

    I posted my Heartland MPG for sale in the MPG community forum and it was closed 'per forum rules'. I then read through the forum rules and reposted it in the forum classified section. Again it was closed. So what am I missing about the rules that my post keeps getting closed? Thanks.

    Questions about MPG

    Ours is white with green graphic, has the night blinds, unpainted fenders, and LP water heater. I think they made about 4 models, some had extras and some had few. Hard to know now.

    Texas - West Chapter Event Ideas and Discussions

    Somewhere around Terlingua/Big Bend, Alpine, Ft Davis, etc would be a good place too. I am stunned at how many native Texans have never see that area.

    dome awning

    John, Not sure about the ebay dome tent. I think I saw one on there and it does look the same if the pictures were currect. The past two times we used ours, i sent it up myself, since the wife was wrangling kids. Be sure to have a ladder, step stool or I use a 5 gal bucket since I always forget...

    Camping in West Texas

    Okay, The tow vehicle is a nissan armada, full size, V8 5.6L. I have weight distribution and sway control. The wind was 20-25mph and probably gusts that exceeded that from time to time. For the most part it town just fine. I could see when the trees or grasses would lay down more due to wind...

    Camping in West Texas

    We took our two boys, (ages 5 and 3) out to west Texas over spring break. We all had a great time camping in the MPG. It seems to get blown all over the road if it is windy. I assume it is becasue it is so light weight.

    New Sink Faucet

    Bought at HomeDepot. I wanted a single lever instead of the separate hot and colds. So i had to cut the center jole out for the water fittings. The base covers the existing holes pluse the anchor bolts go through them too. Took ten minutes.

    New Sink Faucet

    I started a thread a while back about how close the stream of water out of the stock faucet was to the back of the sink basin. And it causes a problem when washing hands and dishes or just about anything. It was in the General Discussion section.....and now we have a NEW section! So yesterday...

    ATTN! MPG Owners ---need some help!

    Same as you. 2011 181. I dont know if they are really knock outs, but at a certain angle and light I can see were the holes would be for a faucet. The water comes out of the faucet too close to the back.

    ATTN! MPG Owners ---need some help!

    Weekend camping in the winter

    . Winterize the unit and dry-camp. Treat your mpg as a much warmer and more comfortable tent. Use the campground facilities just as you would if you were in a tent. Thing is what I was thinking we would do.

    Two different rim styles?

    while searching for an MPG, I would see every now and then one would have the less attractive white trailer tire wheels. The one we bought has them. I know its just a look, like saying its just a color. But I sure like the chrome ones better. Since it seems like they didnt make a lot of...
