    Thoughts on using Eternabond

    Hi all. Hope everyone is excited about gearing up for camping season! I have a question regarding Eternabond. The caulk located on the rear side corners of my 5th wheel keeps opening up. It happens where the fiberglass meets the vertical metal stripping. I have caulked the area probably 5 times...

    Slide moved out on its own?

    So, I have my 5th wheel (Elkridge 37 Ultimate) stored on a lot when not in use. During the Winter I go once a week and do a drive by to have a look and make sure everything is OK. Yesterday I noticed the bedroom slide was out about 6 inches. All other slides were in fully. I went home to get...

    Factory aluminum rims cracking

    I have a 2014 Elkridge 37 Ultimate. After having my 5th wheel for a year I noticed a tire that kept losing about 10 pounds of air a month. I had it inspected and found there was a hairline crack. I had it welded and since 2015 have had no problems with that rim. This past Wednesday I checked...

    Back to the drawing board

    Hello fellow campers. I have a 2014 Elkridge with the optional front Dometic A/C. During the second season I noticed that when it rains, and the unit is running, a tremendous amount of water gets sucked in. If I shut the unit off it stops. At no other time does water get inside unless it is...

    Pullrite hitch question

    I have read in the manual for my Pullrite 18K fifth wheel hitch that routine maintenance is needed. The job requires some dis assembly of the hitch. I have read the instructions and could probably figure it out on my own. I'm just a little nervous as the hitch is the only thing keeping the...

    Not sure how to feel

    My wife and I purchased an Elkridge 37 Ultimate new back in 2014. It is our second camper. Over the past 2 seasons we have had continual problems. Not all of it was Heartland's fault. So, no brand bashing and no hard feelings. The entire 2014 season I was constantly fixing something myself. A...
