    No over the air reception

    Went out this weekend and had no over the air reception. Checked all the connections and that the booster was putting out 12 volts to the antenna amplifier. Climbed up on the roof and the coax cable had completely disconnected from the antenna. Reconnected the cable and problem was fixed.

    Tire pressure monitor

    I have a TST tire monitor. One of the tires was showing a higher temperature and pressure gain than the other three tires. Turns out that that tire has a bulge on the inside side of the sidewall. Wouldn't have reason to check without the monitor. Fortunately the tire didn't blow. Towmax...

    blackwater sensor lights

    I have had good luck keeping the sensors clean by dumping 1/4 to 1/2 cup of dish soap, 1/4 to 1/2 cup of laundry water softener (20 Mule Team Borax is an example), and 5 gallons of water prior to leaving the house or after dumping and flushing. Still use a black tank additive. Ice cubes also...

    Spare Tire Carrier Dropping On Its Own

    Not sure if this belongs here. We stopped for lunch and the spare tire was hanging down. It hadn't hit the gerund yet, but was close. The spare tire carrier is a style that cranks up and down similar to the spare tire on Ford trucks. Is there away to prevent this? How common is?

    270hg purchase questions

    Hello. We have a 2014 Torque 270 HG that we purchased new in March 2015. We really like the layout. Spent 6 weeks in it while we were looking for a house to move into. The only problems we had are that the license plate was mounted below the bumper. Lost it the first trip out due to the...

    Torque 270 HG Bed Limit Switch

    Unless you can safely get the bed down on the rails and re-time the chains I would bring it to the dealer, especially if it is still under warranty. The dealer said they had a tough time getting the bed down to re-time the chains.

    Torque 270HG Sofa Cushions

    The sofa cushions kept sliding out. Went to Lowes and bought a roll of industrial peel and stick Velcro tape. Put a strip front to back under each cushion, problem solved. The Velcro said it wasn't recommended for fabric, it seems to be working fine.

    License plate installation

    Its not quite free advertising, the frames cost money as does the hardware and time to install. Also, how many dealer frames stay on - could be the dealership wants to spend their advertising dollars in other ways. My dealer didn't put a frame on either - would have been lost the first time...

    License plate installation

    1/4 carriage bolts with washers and self locking nuts work well as do lock washers and regular nuts. the square part on the carriage bolt will keep the head from spinning when inserted through the license plate bracket from the back.

    Torque 270 HG Additions

    I ended up putting the top of the hold open on the door at 7/8 inch rather than 1 1/4 inch. At 1 1/4 inches the door wouldn't close. Cabinet openings are 22 1/2 by 9 inches , doors overlap frames by 1/2 inch.

    Torque 270 HG Additions

    Pictures of the retrofit for the license plate as suggested by the dealer. Unfortunately Heartland only funded the warranty request at a level that the dealer could cover the parts. Did the install myself with directions from the dealer. Sorry the pictures are upside down and sideways. Even...

    Torque 270 HG Additions

    I haven't found anything yet, just came up with the idea today. We seem to remember that we had them on a Jayco TT that we sold almost three years ago. The FW is new to us and we didn't have an RV in the interim. I think Camping world may have a solution. I looked at Rocklers(on line), they...

    Looking at air bags

    I had Firestones on my Tacoma with a bumper pull. I have them on my F250 with a fifth wheel. Improves the ride and levels the truck. Don't over inflate, just enough to bring the truck back to the level before hitching up. Watch the minimum inflation. I had the Firestones installed on my...

    Torque 270 HG Additions

    Add a toilet paper holder. Add hold opens for the cabinet doors that open upwards. Mount the license plate on the door so that it is not below the bumper. The wind took my license plate off the first time out. :)

    couple of rookie question's

    When I picked up my fifth-wheel the dealer turned of the breaker for the 120v hot water heater and said don't turn it on until you are sure you have water in the heater. Best way is to open the relief valve until water comes out. He also said when you drain the hot water heater trip the breaker.

    Torque 270 HG Bed Limit Switch

    My 2014 Torque 270 HG came from the factory with the lower limit switch set too low. The bed tried to go below the rails that the bed rests on when it is lowered. This caused the chains to skip a few teeth on one side, causing the bed to raise and lower unevenly. The result of the bed moving...
