    Electrical water heater not working.

    Don't forget new teflon tape on any of the threaded water connections to prevent leaks.

    What are these

    I am guessing that they make a quick and easy way to bypass the dedicated fridge inverter if it fails, or makes the assembly line process speed along a little faster.

    Starlink Satellite System.

    I see many, many, Starlink antennas at the 2 Thousand Trails parks I stay at in the San Diego area, maybe as many as 1 in 4 RV's. These parks both have the Jabba net WiFi service available at about $40 a month, but I have found their service performance pretty spotty. Starlink RV users that I...

    Jumping my unit after sitting all winter

    Jumper cables would supply the most immediate current, and most of the landing gear circuits have 50 amp DC breakers.

    Water Heater Not Working?

    Did you HEAR your water heater LP burner trying to light (clicking noise) or the burner running (mild roaring noise)? Did you try to reset the overtemperature rubber switches on the water heater outside face? See manuals on this page: https://manuals.heartlandowners.org/?man=/Plumbing/Wtr_Heater...

    Hydraulic slide off door side

    Any chance the rack bar teeth pointing down are rubbing against the frame cutout hole for the rack? My rig has this problem with the big living room door side slide, and needs the roller support gussets to be rewelded and re-enforced. I only have the problem when bringing the slide in, bought a...

    Show Heartland RVs Love on Google

    Let me add : Actual pressure test with leak down gauges of freshwater plumbing, and LP gas plumbing. I had to show my dealer's service person how to do this on an LP gas leak I had, that he kept insisting was sewer gas. I had to PAY a private RV servicer to find the cracked fitting and replace...

    Replacing an Apollo Microwave with something different

    I did a Google search on "RV enclosed microwave oven" and came up with these hits. You need to start off with comparing your existing oven dimensions. With the cost of shipping 30 lbs, I would go with a locally available or FREE Shipping option on anything I buy. Search the model numbers from...

    We have a 2019 Torque T32 Toy hauler. On the under belly/below the garage floor & forward under the kitchen One is holding up the fresh water tank.

    " . . . These bars have a a lot of weight on them. My fresh water tank is approximately 90 plus gal so it has about 750 to 800 lbs. in it when full. " Then think about 750 to 800 lbs of weight bouncing as you travel down our "great" tax-supported highways. BTW, I always avoid travelling with a...

    We have a 2019 Torque T32 Toy hauler. On the under belly/below the garage floor & forward under the kitchen One is holding up the fresh water tank.

    My 2008 production Bighorn had a sheet of 1/2 inch (?) plywood between the support brace and the tank bottom. In a major frame repair in 2014 (?) I assisted the welder/repairer by replacing this plywood sheet with one of exterior grade that I treated with a water sealing wood treatment, as I had...

    Green/Yellow wire, what is it for?

    Trailer brake wiring should not be connected to the 12 volt circuit breakers buss area since DOT doesn't want a tripped breaker to prevent the emergency electric brakes from activating in a trailer disconnect situation. The risk of an electrical fire in the trailer brakes wiring is considered...

    Looking for shower pan for 2017 Mallard M325

    Maybe an owner of the same model/year reading this could take a photo and measurements to help you.

    Full time RV is your home

    No, the big problem in this scenario is with the medical insurers. They want you to have your medical provider (Primary care MD) and group (Kaiser, State University Medical Group, local Humana, etc.) LOCAL TO YOUR RESIDENCE OF RECORD. If I put down South Dakota as my residence of record with my...

    Full time RV is your home

    How have fulltimers with no recognized permanent address worked out the federal requirement for a "Real ID" by the state driver's licensing agencies, like the DMV here in California? As I understand it this is to be REQUIRED in 2025 (when my D/L renews), and that the DMV does not recognize P.O...

    Can't find the hot water bypass! Could use a little help...

    Maybe another assembly line "omission"??? Not too hard to "fix" with Sharkbite push-on PEX valves and tees near the water heater, although you shouldn't have to do this. You might want to call the Heartland factory and speak with the Sundance product manager, or at least get his email address...

    2021 Mallard M260 - rain drip piece ?

    RVers GOOP elastometric adhesive/sealant would be good for sealing this, but the drip spout does snap into place. Goop is available at Walmart.

    SSA Direct Deposit Scam Change on My Account Today

    Nothing bogus or phising about this original email from SSA notifying me that my email access to SSA had been ended "at my request".

    The Trip!

    California has had a 55 mph speed limit for towed vehicles since the 1950's, and I have towed at that maximum speed along the Pacific Coast and back to Elkhart. I had 1 blown tire due to axle drum cracking and failing, tire rubbing on the frame. Once I had a guy with a 5th wheel pass me on I-80...

    Water Hose Freeze Prevention

    I am thinking most of the hours of each day should be above freezing. Hopefully you can use your hose connection at those times. You might disconnect your hose from your rig when freezing is expected and try to keep it running at the slowest stream to try to prevent freezing during the coldest...

    Should I remove AC for roof cover

    Mine was done by RV professionals without removing the AC unit. I think with all the painting stuff going on, you don't need another complication of removing the heavy AC top unit at the same time. Do the AC gasket some other time.

    Fridge power shutoff?
