I was quoted just over 4k for the complete window, frame and all, that is not installed either, just the window. Insane to me Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Lippert does not sell replacement glass, whole windows only, frame and all, and I was okay with that until I found out how much shipping costs were, I called several glass companies here before I found one who could get me the glass for replacement, however nobody was willing to do the job, and...

Tried that, they suggested lippert for a complete window, frame and all, when I checked on ordering one the shipping cost alone was 3 times the window itself, the glass i had cut is an exact match, tint is perfect and its tempered safty glass as well, I tried to remove the hinge material but...

Does anyone know where to find a roll of piano hinge material that is used on frameless windows? The reason I ask, my grandson kicked a rock up while running a weekeater and broke an exit window, I had a new piece of glass cut but can't find hinge material. Any help appreciated, lippert was no help

Found this interesting, supposedly the towmax tires can be ran at higher speeds if the max cold pressure of 80 psi is increased by 10 psi, so driving at 75 from 65 will not hurt the tire, i wouldn't recommend doing this and know the towmax tires are not safe at any speed, just thought this was...

Fastcarsspeed, we replaced the towmax tires with westlakes, same rateings as the goodyear g614's for about half the price, so far so good, just make sure your wheels and valve stems are rated for 110psi, i looked for sailun tires but could not find any from.local tire dealerships and would have...

Tireman, thanks for the info, one thing i was very careful about was checking tire pressures and wheel bearings, before and during any traveling. One thing i was suprised by was how much pressure buildup there is when cold pressure shows 80psi and after 300 miles on the road pressures could...

Here is a pic of one of the other tires sidewall, the one that let go looked like this as well as 2 others of the 4 on the fw. The Westlake tires we replaced the towmaxs with are 14 plys, 4050 weight rating at 110psi, about the same specs as the Goodyear G614's, 75mph speed rating. If you go...

Tireman9, as per your request for a pic, i knew or had read about these tires failing, but we had to make a trip north for a family matter so didn't change them before we took off. I did get quite a few miles on the fw before we had this blowout, mostly cooler weather travel, not sure that makes...

I find it interesting that Heartland is still using towmax tires with so many failures, our blowout of one included in the many. I couldn't find the Sailuns??sp?? We would hve had to mail order a set and needed tires asapand couldn't wait but did we find a decent tire for replacement, Westlakes...

Going over the different forums and subjects here, some themes are a normal occurance no matter the make and model of trailer or fw. Kitchen sinks being one of the many, our Gateway had a leak that was intermittant and impossible to locate because of that fact, it took 2 1/2 years before we got...

This is an interesting thread, my wife and i recently sold our hhome in southern Idaho, we were spending most of our time up north visiting our kids and grandkids so decided to relocate, i was making 6 to 8 trips a year back and forth, a little over 1200 miles each trip, we would stop in Montana...

Enjoy your new Gateway, we have had ours for almost 3 years now and love it still, typical for us to.trade in after 5 years or less to a new rv but as of now my thinking is we will keep this one for quite a while, still beautiful, comfortable and very few issues compared to every other brand...

Easier to access if you remove the side panel in the udc instead of the smaller one recommended by the factory, if your model is like mine, there are 5 valves, thats including the pump valve used to suck antifreeze out of the bottle. Some are hard to find, tucked under other wireing and water...

Welcome to the Gateway owners club!! My wife and i looked at so many different makes, models layouts we couldn't remember what had what, after the third go round we had a short list and ended up buying the 2014 Gateway 3500RE in October 2013, so far we have had a few issues but nothing that has...

Just reading several posts about black tank issues, seems like there are several, i started a thread 5 months after we bought our Gateway myself, i was having, still are having trouble with my black tank valave not closing, or leaking when closed, i noticed it first when we were staying in sub...

I agree 100%, wouldn't have kept the towmax as a spare if the new tires were the same size, not worth the worry....

I had a towmax let go last spring on my Gateway, luckily i was watching and k8nd of expecting to.have trouble, i jotices some defects in the sidewalls on all 4 before we left on a trip up north. I replaced all 5 tires with a better brand, i couldn't get Sailuns and didn't want to pay the...

Hope no one misunderstood me here, the 3.73 gear worked ok in my '07 Ram, i just like the 4.10's better now after towing with both, pulling over pass's at 7000 feet above sea level there is a noticable difference. I have no doubt even a taller gear than a 3.73 would work with a Cummins or any...

That 15K interval is for the synthetic oil the factory uses, not regular Rotella, Delo or the Castrol i use, got that tidbit of info from a salesman at the Dodge Jeep dealership i bought the wifes new Cherokee from, so if you are not using factory synthetic oil i wouldn't try going 15K between...

I did the same thing Jon, dumped the oil and filter at 500, changed again at 2500, and now between 3 and 5k and depending on any trips distance if i end up going over many pass's and how hard i work the truck sometimes sooner, oil is cheap insurance, i use Castrol, have had great luck with it...

Hey Marc, I worked in the service industry for most of my carreer, and at several different dealerships, most paid comission so the faster a tech could get a job done the more money they make, i have worked by comission, hourly and salary, i have seen poor work done by techs that had no...

The cummins will make up for a tall gear with the torque and horsepower it puts out, which is nice, in my limited experience i still like the 4.10's for pulling any grade, and the 12.5mpg i am getting isn't to bad considering the size and weight of the Gateway, actually picked up mileage going...

My reasons were simple, the '07 i had was starting to give me trouble, turbo speed sensor went out 3 times in 30 miles, dealer couldn't fix it right, again more incompetance, but thats a soap box i don't want to get on right now, i went from a bumper pull to the Gateway, so more weight, and my...

Thats a great choice, and the heavy duty Ram will work just fine, i towed stock for a while before installing the tuner, after having it on my '07 i just missed having the extra power and torque plus the increased fuel mileage is nice as well. Stock set up i was averageing around 10mpg towing...

I hve towed our Gateway with an '07 Ram 1 ton srw with 3.73, and with my '13 Ram 1 ton drw with 4.10, drw is way more stable in any wind conditions, mileage is really the same, no major change, towing anyway, i installed an Edge tuner on both trucks, the Juice model with color screen, simple...

GWRam, so sorry i have taken this long to look at my old post, i got my couch apart, fixed it myself, its a little tricky getting the backs off, but once i got it apart setting the bottoms where they were supposed to go was a piece of cake. As far as the kitchen sink leak, i ended up replaceing...

My Gateway is doing the same thing, i hve been using rv wash with wax, have to wipe it dry of the wax leaves a film on the body, thanks for the polyglow tip, i'll give it a try, the decals are discolored as well, maybe it will help with those?? I have been doing the wash and wax routine every...

AAdams, same set up as my 2013, i bought it new last year, it was a leftover the dealer had and was to good of a deal to pass on. I have put close to 24k on it in 14 months, and would have done the tuner sooner if i would have know how much difference it made. This new package is supposed to...

AAdams, what rear end ratio ratio does your truck have?? Is your Ram a diesel or the new gasser that Dodge is using?? I got better mileage with my 2013 Ram 3500 drw 6.7 cummins, by just changing out the air cleaner to an Airaid filter. Averaged close to 16mpg, not towing, combined freeway and...

Did ok, drove close to 100 miles today, town and freeway, went from 16 to almost 18, so close to 2mpg gain, will see how towing does, hopefully the same gain.

Just saw this thread and had to put in my 2 cents worth. I currently tow with a 2013 Ram 3500 dually mega cab. The rig before was a 2007 Ram 3500 srw. Big difference in stability with the dually. The day i picked up my Gateway, i talked to a gentleman who delivers rigs from the factory to...

Cancelled reservations, our dealership called and said so sorry for the trouble but now they need HL to approve repairs?? Not sure i agree with that logic, need approval to fix thier screw up, sounds fishy to me. Didn't hear back from HL after sending contact info, so decided it is better to not...

Bob, I am waiting on a call back from HL now. We still have another issue caused from a mystery kitchen sink leak and the local dealer they recommended does just as bad of work as our dealer in Salt Lake, we bought our last rig from the local shop, had plenty of work done here and sorry to say...

Hey all, Anyone know how the couch comes apart in our fw?? We had the center section replaced under warrenty, this week, along with everything else that was not done last yr, waited on parts for quite some time, still need a few more before its finished. The salesman broke the center section...

Well, we picked up the new trailer, i installed 2 new trojan batts, ordered a 300 watt solar charging system, i believe will be more than enough to keep the new trojans up, i can run a generator in the am if need be, but the solar system is supposed to run just over 16 amps per hr. I have a...

Several interesting posts on solar power, i am buying a second trailer for camping....we are keeping the Gateway but will use it when rv'ing. Anyway the new 18 foot camp trailer has a solar plug already built in, i need to do a little research but i believe all i need are panels and its plug and...

Lowes sells the Champion for about a hundred bucks less. I was looking for a smaller unit for a new 18 foot camp trailer, i have a 5500 watt unit already but its loud and heavy, i use it when staying the night in rest stops or truck stops when no other options are available. Runs fine and will...

Bob, yes, keeping the Gateway we will use it for any trips more than a couple hundrex miles from home or any trips we plan on staying gone for more than a couple of days. I just wanted another small trailer for camping in state parks or anywhere i can't get the fw. No dirt roads for the Gateway...

That Prowler is a great looking rv, i wish they made a smaller tow behind, the smallest we could find was 24 feet i think, otherwise that would be the one for a second rv. Quality was much better than the trail runners by far, at least from what i could see. The trail runner may be a great rig...
