my fuel pump burned out..... I told them that before the warranty was up and the dealer said it was pumping. IT was moving fuel occasionally but not always and couldn't build pressure. I bought a replacement pump on ebay and mounted it near the tank.

When I had problems with my tank valves I had to pull the valves and was incredibly dissapointed in what I saw. They had taken the cutout that they made in the frame and in the floor for the plumbing and threw them in the tank. I had a metal holesaw cutout blocking my flow and it wouldn't let my...

if you guys go out and open your tank drain pull door and look towards where your pipes are supposed to be you might be like me and see exposed pipes directly exposed to the outside elements. There is no insulation around them and the only thing that will keep them warmer is the sheet metal...

So you guys want to laugh. It has been almost a year since this thread and I am still having issues with my generator. I have run it the hour every other month or so and I didn't think much about it because the last time I had to run it all weekend was when I was in Indianapolis for the...

I am still getting the run around from my dealer. I was told 4 weeks should be enough and that was 10 weeks ago. I am ready for them to start making the payments on my house if I am not going to be able to live in it. It has been at the dealership for over 15 weeks since I picked it up on...

I called today and got Gary Schilling's voicemail. Maybe he'll call me back tomorrow. I don't have my vin handy because all my paperwork for the camper is in the camper. I can run down there and get it tomorrow I guess. This just isn't the first time I have had the run around. The funniest...

I have one for you. I am a full timer and I called and made an appointment because I was going out of town for work for a few weeks. Took the camper in and left it for over 3 weeks. I came back and asked how it was coming and they hadn't even looked at it. Now it is 2.5 weeks after I was...

I have been full timing in mine for just over a year. Mine is back at the dealer for some more warranty work I hope but I am borderline on some of that so I guess I will have to pay for some of it. It is alright. I am still frustrated with the construction. I winterized the bottom more and...

I went here http://www.hitchfinder.com/ and put my specs in. I put the reese rails in my truck because my dad had them in his truck and I have an extra set at home for another old truck that I have. I don't mind too much. They have the extra bracket set to mount the rails to. I did my own...

I am thinking about doing something like this in my cyclone. I haven't done it yet but I am strongly considering it.

how to you gain access to the area under the front overhang? you know... under the closet and just behind the kingpin. and actually over the kingpin too.

I have an 09 and maybe I am missing something. I will probably put some rigid foam in there anyway. I am looking for Ziggy's solution so maybe I can get some pointers. Thanks

My gross is listed as 20,400lbs per the sticker. I was just trying to figure out how that worked out with only 6,000lb axles. I guess the pin and jacks take some weight off of them but there isn't a lot of room to spare there. Thanks, Chris

HT I like what you did with the skirt. I have been putting insulation in my underbelly this weekend and this week and I saw a bunch of things that I would have liked to do differently but I didn't build it. I can only make it better with what I have. Did you insulate the front cap area with...

Have any of you insulated the front cap and generator compartment? I spent some time trying to figure out why my bed was cold a while back and when I took the time to disassemble the bed I saw daylight coming through a crack under the bed. I sprayed spray foam out of it and I was looking today...

I have been digging under my camper all weekend trying to insulate it for winter. I found that the supply line from the fresh water tank to the pump is right next to the frame going under a cross member that puts the hose laying against the corrugated plastic underbelly with no insulation...

How do you get a gross trailer weight rating of 21,000lbs when you have three 6,000lb axles underneath the camper? Something doesn't add up in my head. I have been trying to figure out if it had anything to do with the expected amount of pin weight that may be taken off the axles by the truck...

OK... that makes a little more sense. I just knew that the examples I was seeing online were different than what I pictured in my head. Thanks for the examples.

What is the difference between thermal pane and dual pane? I kinda got an idea already but I wanted to see what the real answer was. I looked up thermal pane windows last night and they don't look any different than what I already have but I didn't look up dual pane.

Are these windows standard enough that they can be replaced with double pane windows? I haven't really looked but I am curious at how much it would cost to put them in yourself. I'd consider doing the two large ones in the slide out and doing the three in the bedroom and being done. I can...

I full time in my toy hauler. I am single so it is just me but I do enjoy it. I have to have my garage so I can carry my motorcycles and tools with me. I just don't think I could do it in a regular 5th wheel with my hobbies.

So I have a question about getting replacement parts for the ladder and I thought this would be a good spot to start. I had a spotter that was watching out for the tree that I missed but he wasn't watching out for the limb that knocked the top step off my ladder so I need some replacement...

My kitchen table is splitting where the seam is glued together. What is going to be the fix for this? The camper is less than a year old but with the humidity dropping it has a split a little over 5 inches long where the boards are separating. If the dealer is just going to have to glue it...

One of the first things I did to my rig as well. Mostly because it shipped from the dealer with it turned around backward so I couldn't extend it. Mine rides free now as well and I don't have any issues. Chris

How do you know which one is currently on it? Where are the numbers stamped? I have the factory cover over mine and I also have my level mounted on it but I could take those off. That sounds like what I may be looking for.

I'll have to do that next time I hook up. I should be taking it back to Alabama for Christmas and the month of January so I will measure then. I hadn't thought of that. I do know that I have been in a greater than 90 degree turn and I had room. I wasn't in that turn on purpose but it got...

I see the small flow hole... but I don't see any restrictors. I thought about drilling the holes larger but I am afraid of screwing up the anti siphon valve.

I have actually looked into a wind deflector. I have every intention of getting the Trail-eze II wind deflector but I am looking for a used one. The first thing I am going to have to do to it is cut the bottom off and re-engineer new mounting brackets for it. I have an over the rail tool box in...

how did you remove the restrictors? Most of mine look glued in. Did you break the glue or drill them out? Thanks, Chris

I bought the airsafehitch.com 25k air ride hitch. I bought it used off a guy that only towed with it 5 times. His wife wouldn't drive the truck so he sold truck and trailer and bought a motorhome that she would drive. It is one of the best investments that I have made for towing. It takes a...

I carry a full set of cordless tools just because I own them and I am not leaving them in storage for the batteries to die. I have a full set of sockets that I keep in my truck all the time. With my craftsman box and some extras in the drawer that are specific to my needs and I can do anything I...

Has anyone looked for a shorter pinbox or kingpin. I know that these trailers are made to allow a great turning radius with shortbed trucks but that also makes them sit way back when put in a standard mounting position on a long bed truck. It opens up a huge air gap between the cab and the RV...

If you are going to look for mileage try to get the 3.42 gears in there. I have an 07 with the last of the 5.9's and I am looking to do the swap for 3.42's when I get the money. The motor has power and it isn't going to hurt it. There is a thread about the 3.42's over on the cumminsforum...

I guess I am stuck with it. There are times that I am driving down the road that I want to have that fan come on to circulate air in the camper while traveling. I have even left windows open while driving to get air in and out. Seems like a good time to air everything out since the climate will...

which model of the maxx air vent covers work with these fans? I haven't been able to get a definite answer when I was looking.

I want to know as well. I am prepping to better insulate this weekend and next weekend.

HT how are you gonna work your windows? I know that I had a lot of moisture on mine last winter and I am trying to determine what the best route is this year. I considered the plastic shrink wrap over the larger ones but I haven't made up my mind. I don't get that cold here but I am...

Thanks Bob. I thought about that too but the fuel line runs from the back of the camper all the way to the front of the camper. It is about 40ft of fuel line. I had the same thing happen on a boat twice actually. Once on an outboard motor from the fuel pump to the carburetor and again on an...

where do you get the screws that heartland uses? I have about 3 that the heads have broken off and need to replace them. I also need to go get some type of ease out for screws to get the rest of the body out. Thanks, Chris

I went to the boat store and got marine pad eyes. That is what they are called. They are also the eyes that bimini tops are hooked to. I put them in and ran bungee cords across to them. I did this on the top as well. I also use the same setup to keep my TV in place when I travel. I put the TV on...
