    New cable hook up

    Thought I would give an update on solving my snowy cable connection to the main TV. The splitters for cable and satellite were both located behind the fabric panel above the entertainment center where the surround sound speakers are located. Each has a 4 way splitter, utilizing 1 input and 3...

    New cable hook up

    Thanks for the quick answer. Where did you find the splitter for the cable connection? Only place I can think of is behind the surround sound dvd player at the entertainment center. It is the only opening into the wall that I know of. - - - Updated - - - Understand what you are saying. But...

    New cable hook up

    I have the same issue with my main tv. All other tv's work great on cable, except main tv. Did you ever get this resolved. Would love to know the solution.

    Need LED light strip

    I received one from Heartland under warranty. It is easy to remove from channel, but leaves behind old adhesive that takes some work to remove. The new roll will have the 3m adhesive and simply rolls into the channel. It must be cut between the dots. Also, mine had a small blade fuse where it...

    1/3 of awning LEDs blinking, or out.

    There is a fuse in line where the lights attach to the trailer wiring in the awning arm. I had to replace it. LED strip was bad as well. Heartland sent me the strip under warranty. Can't imagine the strip is very expensive. Sent from my SM-T813 using Tapatalk

    Waxing the RV

    Could probably tape the on button down with duct tape and secure the pole with radiator hose clamps. Only drawback I see is how heavy it would be. Looking up while working with your arms up and controlling something heavy is asking for a cervical disk aggravation. I would rather make a scaffold...

    Suburban oven in 2015 Road Warrior

    The oven pilot light will light normally. Turn dial to 350 degrees, burner lights, after 4-5 minutes the pilot light goes out, then in about 20 seconds the oven cuts off. The orifice and pilot assembly has been replaced. What next? Oven is under warranty. Ed

    I visited the repair shop yesterday. The roof and A/C's have been stripped. The rubber came off with no damage to the underlayment, sigh of relief there. New rubber was laid out on the top unfolding and relaxing. This shop seems very customer oriented. I spoke with the technician, and he seems...

    Glad you have dodged the bullet on roof replacement. I have to wonder what the long term effects are from this oil on the EPDM membrane? For Dometic to accept the cost of roof replacement, I have to think that the exposure is not good, and may pose issues down the road a few years. That is my...

    Well, I got a call from the RV repair dealer today and was floored. He said Dometic has approved the replacement of both A/C units and the entire roof on the RV. He said they are oing to send an engineer down to look at the units after the fact. Dealer said he had never seen this in his 20 years...

    Trying to register products (AC serial numbers)

    Thanx Randy, good to know. Don't relish the thought of them replacing roof, but they have done it on others, so maybe the oil in Dometics made in china is a problem. Can't imagine a plant in china using newer, safer oils. Whatever is cheaper seems more likely.

    Good point Dan, on the oil damaging the dicor EPDM material. If it does need replacing, I would want it done in Elkhart.

    Thanks for the info. Not sure I want the roof replaced. It has not leaked at all to this point. I don't trust people working on my stuff. Replacing AC units scares me enough, as they have worked fine as well. But, if they are leaking oil it is only a matter of time before the fail, so I am OK...

    Only thing nasty than can leak out of an ac unit is compressor oil. They must have felt that the oil would deteriorate the rubber on the roof. Not sure of the chemistry of compressor oil and R34 refrigerant, or whatever it is nowadays, but good that they are replacing roof. Good suggestions to...
