    Buying new tow vehicle - advice

    FYI...with 110gals of water, 30gals of generator fuel, and a smart car in the garage I'm pulling just over 20k with my F450 Dually...I drove home today from Marble Falls in super heavy rain all the way to San Antonio and I drove with one hand on the wheel because the dually is so stable and...

    Buying new tow vehicle - advice

    Sorry G-Town, I've been offline so long I forgot my password to log in! I agree with your choice of a 5th wheel to full time in, especially if your not going to be moving around a lot. We just spent 4 days in Marble Falls, (2 days with another couple) and there is just so much more usable...

    SOLVED: Residential Fridge problem

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem My ice cream was a bit soft at 6 degrees, then I set to the lowest setting of -6 F for Freezer and 33 F for frig and ice cream is really too hard now...will try 0 on next trip

    SOLVED: Residential Fridge problem

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem Residential Frigs are not new to RV's...It's only new to this price point, and if cheaper MSW inverters performed exactly like PSW inverters Liberty, Featherlite, Marathon, and others would have them...I've found that MSW inverters work fine for Televisions...

    SOLVED: Residential Fridge problem

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem I understand the re-worked inverters are simply being changed from Pure Sine Wave to Modified Sine Wave...I'm no electronics expert but I was a trucker for many years who used various inverters over the years. I have found that everything will "initially" run on...

    SOLVED: Residential Fridge problem

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem So does your new Magnum have the same 1000w shell with the electronics inside reworked? Or did they send you a Bigger 1800w Magnum? I can't wait to hear how your new unit performs in 100 degree heat...Hopefully you'll test with a Hot Frig...If it can take your...

    4200 patio questions

    After spending the last 4 days on both patios of the 4200 in the South Texas Heat, I have discovered another great reason for the 2nd patio...To get away from a setting sun that the awnings can protect you from! And the BEST part for me as I just discovered as a very early riser...I can watch TV...

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem Hunter11, sorry about your continued slide seal problems...I imagine the fact that it's such a simple repair makes it that much more frustrating

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem Somehow, I don't think an MS2012 Approval is going to help with your Bedroom Seal Problem--Or answer the age old question as to what a Seal is doing in your Bedroom anyway??? But if you've gone through 3 Seals already, I guess anything is worth a try!

    SOLVED: Residential Fridge problem

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem Thanks for sharing information on how the MS 2012 corrected your Inverter problems, I too was just approved for the MS2012 repairs...I can't wait to vacation once it's repaired as we've loved everything else about our CY 4200!

    SOLVED: Residential Fridge problem

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem I just called customer service and asked if they would share with me what they are going to pay CW to put in the "Improved" 1000W Magnum...I told them I would then like to pay the difference to have a 2000w Magnum Pure Sine Wave installed. The gentleman took my...

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem Thanks for sharing, so glad you have solved your problem with the 2000w Magnum...Hopefully Heartland will see this post and help all of us who have no working residential frig's while traveling.

    SOLVED: Residential Fridge problem

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem I wish Heartland would simply tell me what they are paying CW for the inverter upgrade and simply allow me to pay the difference for a 2000w Magnum "Pure" the labor is exactly the same--Trust me you don't want to have to run across the nation running a generator...

    SOLVED: Residential Fridge problem

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem Wow! You mean Voltage is STILL having problems with their Slides? I heard about that 4 to 5 years ago! I guess an inverter is nothing compared to preparing to return home and you can't get your slide in...Still it's frustrating, the finest coaches on earth use...

    SOLVED: Residential Fridge problem

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem Everything usually boils down to the bottom line NOT customer satisfaction...Check the price of a 2000w Magnum vs. the 1800 Ingersoll Rand and you'll probably discover why they didn't keep their word? Using a cheap inverter will run your frig till the warranty...

    4200 patio questions

    Just picked up our new 4200 and both ramps are extremely strong! Today I just rolled an 1800lb Smart Car plus me at 320lbs in the garage and I heard no popping or cracking sounds from the ramp...The side ramp is very strong as well and you'll never reach it's limits as four people is about all...

    Buying new tow vehicle - advice

    I will pull it for the first time on Thursday June 19th when I take delivery from Holman and I will report back--I will top off everything but no Smart Car--I expect to get 7.5-8.5mpg at 62mph depending on winds--but the 2015 F450 is much more fuel efficient than my 6.4 09' with 1 Turbo instead...

    Buying new tow vehicle - advice

    For the "Specific" truck I'm referring to (2015 F450) a 1000lb loss in payload means absolutely nothing as this rig can legally scale an astonishing 40,000lbs--Even "if" 19.5 Aluminum Wheels and Rubber added a 1000lbs (which is hard to believe)--The added confidence of rolling through...

    Buying new tow vehicle - advice

    Personally I would wait for the 2015 F450 coming later this year. Ford is returning to the 10 lug 19.5 Commercial Rubber...Bigger Disc's in the rear than front at 15.35"! I have a 09' Ford F450 King Ranch and it is a Beast! For 08'-10' the F450 weight was 1400lbs heavier than the F350 and when...

    4200 patio questions

    My Salesman at Holman told me it was 3,000lbs, I assume it will handle my 1,800lb Smart Car with ease! If not I'll report back after I take delivery next week

    Side Patio

    I too love the side patio and would like this feature in a smaller unit, but trust me if they remove the huge side sliding glass doors it would change everything! At 300lbs I was shocked at how sturdy the side patio was as I walked around it! Having 4 large men on the side patio at the same...

    Cyclone 4200

    Re: Well, it's time to ask about the 4200 again??? I'm with you on all the negative comments, I don't get it? The 4200 wasn't designed for Full Timers it was designed for active families and those who enjoy entertaining. The side patio is HUGE for a "Side Patio"--The 2nd Full Bath is a game...
