Re: Slide does not extend the same on both sides Turns out the bolt that connects the drive shaft from the driven side to the slave side was falling out and allowing the shaft to slip. It finally fell completely out and the slave side would not move at all. Replaced the bolt, sprayed silicon on...

I have an Lippert electric slide out that has been a pain from new. It is now extending unevenly. The drive side extends and seals tight but the other side lacks an inch or so to fully seal. I can hit that side with my shoulder and it will close a little but is still out more than the drive...

I am no longer getting audio from my tv while playing DVDs. Sound only comes out of the remote speakers. I also can not get tv sound out of my remote speakers. I used to be able to do both. I have recently replaced the tv because the original died. The new tv is connected exactly as the old one...

Dan, i agree and it was my understanding that the fuses are to protect reverse polarity which I did not have. I kind of guess like you the dead battery is the culprit but would like to know if someone else has ever experienced this. What ever caused it, it happened immediately upon plug in to AC...

Getting the RV ready for our two month trip up the west coast and find that I left a light on and we were not plugged in to AC power. I connected to our 50 amp shore power and all AC systems work but no 12 volts. Battery is drained totally, less than 5 volts, and converter is not working. Buy...

We also have the Champion 3100 inverter generator. $800 from Amazon. Works great, quiet and powers one AC. Just wish it had a bigger gas tank. Will only run 4-5 hours while running AC.

Re: 37 Ultimate outside speakers If you are thinking of upgrading to better speakers, beware that these speakers have small magnets and have a shallow depth. I bought better speakers of the same diameter for my Elkridge only to find they would not fit in the existing hole. Exterior wall...

Jimtoo, we have a 2011 275RLSS, at the scales we had 7.700 lbs on the axles and 1,800 lbs on the pin. Looks like we could load more stuff in the trailer but don't tell my wife.

I agree that weight is not the issue. After two TowMax came apart on our trip to the keys, I bought 4 Transforce LT's. As soon as we got home, on the way to the trailer repair facility to get the $5,000 worth of damage fixed, I stopped by Love's and weighed the trailer. My two axles showed 7,700...

Have had them on my F250 for three years. Great tires. Have pulled our fifth wheel about 10,000 miles with these tires and they still look new. They are a little rough riding at their rated 80 psi so when not towing I lower the pressure to 65 psi. Fill them up to 80 psi when towing. I always...

Travel tiger , where did you get the replacement goose neck?

Don't have the outside kitchen but our 27RLSS sure could use a bigger inside sink and a better faucet. Washing dishes is hard and messy.

Sorry , I just saw your post and question. I used a local Rv repair shop in Whitney Texas. Can't remember the name and we are down in South Padre for a few months so don't have their card here. They charged $1,200 to repair the cap and caulk the rig. I've since gotten good at caulking and seem...

Had exact same problem. Water intrusion rotted the corner post that the end cap was screwed to. See my post https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/47792-Water-intrusion-damaging-wood-structure?p=378444&highlight=#post378444

X2 on Tarpon Springs and Ybor City

Where we live, we have snakes that can hurt you. I keep a 20 gage "snake charmer" in a soft case behind the back seat of our Ford F250. Plenty of room there, a rifle should also fit.

Have carried two bikes on my Elkridge bumper for thousands of miles with no problem. Saw a post once from the Elkridge product manager saying bike racks on the Elkridge bumper was ok because the bumper is welded to the frame. I do put a ratchet strap around the bike rack and pull it tight to the...

When our 2011 Elkridge was about a year old with maybe 3000 miles on it we made a trip to the Keys. One Towmax thru it's tread outside of Miami going down and another one pitched it's tread outside of New Orleans on the way back. Did about $7,000 damage to the trailer. When the second tire went...

Dave, I inspected the leg assemblies and noticed what looks like a grease fitting on the back where the gears would be. According to the HOM Venture manual, these units are life time lubricated. Would it hurt or help to put some grease thru the fitting?

Thanks for the advice. Is the relay you refer to part of the landing gear circuit? Looks like to me there is just the switch. I replaced the battery cause it was time, over 4 years old and the lights were dimming. New battery has lots of capacity and all the 12 volt items work like new. We are...

Just put in a new bad *** battery 3 days ago and cleaned all the connections. Will check the wiring to the motor tomorrow. It seems to really strain when lifting and I was barely able to crank the unit up manually. Can something be binding?

My landing gear has started blowing fuses during normal operation (not at the stops). Blew 4 fuses today trying to raise enough to hook up the truck. Had to manually raise the last couple of inches for hookup. Seams like the motor can't handle the weight of the trailer. Anyone else have this...

Here is an update. My local RV repair shop did a good job of cleaning out the rotten wood and found a solid post a few inches further down the side of the trailer. They used longer screws and attached the rear cap to this stronger post (I thought these trailers had aluminum framing, we have only...

Ray, I don't think so. Appears the panel pulled back when the few screws that attached it to the lumber corner post had nothing left to hold them (rotten wood).

Dave, I discovered the end cap separating on our last trip so I put tape on the seam to keep water out till we got home. At the shop we found the rotten wood. Also noticed that only half of the screws were used to attach the end cap corner.

Discovered yesterday that water some how got into the wood structure at the back corner of our 2011 Elkridge and turned it into straw. My caulking looks good but we have hauled the trailer many days in the rain. This is our first 5th wheel and bought it new. Is water intrusion a common problem...

We are three weeks into a six week trip up the east side of the country. We have had at least 1 hinge come out every day we have been on the road. Closet doors, overhead cabinets and lower storage cabinets. These hinges should have been glued at the factory. Our unit is an 2011 Elk Ridge.

Can you please tell me the name of this app? There are several at the app store

Have three trout baking in the oven right now. Caught them on the white river three weeks ago. Beautiful river and everyone I met there were great.

Planning on camping at this State Park but don't know which are the best sites. Anyone been there and can recommend the best sites?

Daughter is moving to Lutz Florida (north of Tampa area). Can anyone recommend a campground in the area for us to visit.

Just went to LT tires on my 30 ft Elkridge and wanted to make sure my rig was well under the lesser tire rating, so I went to the scales for a weigh in. But first I weighed my 08 F250 4wd and was surprise at the result. Steer axle was 5140 lbs and drive axle was 3920 lbs for a total of 9060 lbs...

Elkridge is still in the shop getting $7000 worth of damage repaired from two Tow max tires throwing their tread during a trip to the Keys. First one went on the way down in Miami. Was able to limp to next exit and lucky to find tire shop (tire did not lose air, just the tread). Replaced with...
