Has anybody tried loading an Argo Frontier 8x8 into a 427RW or other Toy Hauler with a bathroom? The dimensions are 119" by 58" - so the nose will stick 7" past the little bathroom wall on the left. It also means it has to be loaded towards the right of the Toy Hauler next to the wall and...

Camping World put in a dryer vent for us at the side of our 427RW. Took them about an hour - it wasn't a big deal.

I also think that's what keeps it from moving, but surely the design can't be that I need a socket driver to remove it every time I want to swivel the TV?

My RoadWarrior RW427 storage compartment has a slide-out TV that I've never used until recently. However, when you pull it out it's facing the nose of the RV which isn't useful. So I figured there must be a way to swivel it around. However, the swivel bracket seems to be fixed: It seems...

Does the 12V rocker switch have any effect if you're running from a water tank? (Or is it just for shore water?)

My RW427 came with a Cummins Onan RV QG 5500 EVAP generator. It started acting up in that I'm not getting any power from it - the power distribution unit says: 0 amp from the generator. It used to say 45 amps. I opened the generator, and noticed that the generator has 2x 30A breakers like...

I've always had good luck with the stations listed on: https://www.pure-gas.org/ We have one in my neighborhood that is the size of a truck stop.

Hi, I have a couple of dumb questions about the fuel station on my RW427: a) How do I actually fill it up ... ? The inlets seems very small for a gas station's gasoline nozzle - or do they actually fit? I haven't owned a gasoline vehicle for a long time so sorry if this is a silly question...

Brake assembly on the trailer I take it? How many brake assemblies are there on a 3 axle trailer like a RW427?

I don't think the part about Grey 2 for the garage is correct (Have a 427 myself). The Garage Sink, Toilet and Washer/Dryer outlet all drain into the Black 2 tank. This is the one with the separate indicator over the garage sink, and emptied using the right of the 2 valves at the rear. I have...

Can you define: "Adjusted"?

I found that the castle nuts don't really have enough positions. If I put it in one position it will be so loose that I can close the handle with my pinkie. But if I put it in the next position over I have to use a mallet to tighten the handle and REALLY go at it - to the point where the mallet...

You may be onto something here. I looked up the trailer brake controller that comes with the F350 and it is integrated with ABS: "The controller adapts output based on the status of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)When the ABS module senses the towing vehicle’s brakes are approaching lockup...

As part of the problem below, I phoned Heartland support and asked them how the tanks were hooked up (for my specific VIN). Apparently they have no idea how there trailers are actually constructed, because I misspoke - I told them I saw 1 Gray water tank level indicator, and 2 black water tank...

The truck is a 2017 model.

Trying to diagnose whether an issue is with my Truck (Ford F350 2017 DRW), or my 5th wheel (RW427). Problem is: If I pull the manual Trailer Brake switch, let's say going 3 mph in neutral, the trailer brakes will engage for about 1 second, then let go again and the trailer free wheels again...

Ahh, yes. Thanks. This is exactly what I want to do - inform Heartland that there was a leak in hidden plumbing. I took a YouTube video of the leak but I really also want to make a preemptive "FYI - I repaired your pipe and dried everything, but if the floor rots later due to it then this is...

I will, if only to let them know about the date, but tightening a screw on a loose pipe can lead to a warranty issue down the line? Isn't Heartland famous for sending parts to customers to install/fix themselves while under warranty?

I installed a washer in my new RW427 and it looks like between Heartland and the dealer they didn't check the washer drain outlet - it was leaking due to the p-trap below the washer drain that wasn't fastened correctly (was screwed in at an angle so the threads didn't catch properly). I fixed...

Figured it out - the p-trap below the dryer drain wasn't properly screwed in. Caused quite the leak...

I just had a new washing machine installed in my RoadWarrior 427 (garage hookup), but not quite sure about the waste water plumbing. The washer spills water all over the floor during the spin cycle, which then drips out over the rear tire. It's almost like the water seem to come out of an...

Taking possession of a new RW427 tomorrow! What should I check for on delivery? I plan to try all 3 ACs, Fridge, Generator & Furnace. What else should I check?

The installation does talk about needing to tighten some bolts to 100 ft-lbs. "With the hitch in position, finish securing the legs to the head by tightening the bolts from step 3 to 100 ft-lbs." But not sure exactly which bolts they're talking about...

How long does it take to install a Q25 on a Ford F350 DRW factory puck system? I just ordered one, and I plan on taking it to an installer 60 miles away (closest I could find) to install it. Is this just something I should do myself? I'm generally pretty handy, but I've never pulled a 5th...

I believe I just got a quote for an extended Warranty which looks like it has no exclusions! I requested one on a Road Warrior 427 and received a response yesterday from RVProtection / NationalRVWarranty. I kid you not. This is the actual quote they sent me: ---- Hi, Deon! We appreciate...

It wouldn't cover anything that ever went wrong with my previous R/V, but it does cover some expensive stuff, like A/C, Fridge, etc. BUT those kind of things won't break the bank if you have to fix it yourself. The stuff that's REALLY expensive like floors & walls that takes 5 figures to fix...

Thanks for the advice. I just looked at the wholesalewarranties exclusion list. Here it is the stuff that's not covered: "AWNING MATERIAL, FRAME, STRUCTURAL DAMAGE,ADJUSTMENTS, ALIGNMENTS, BEDDING, BOWED WALLS OR CEILINGS, BUMPERS, CABINETRY; CABLE, SATELLITE AND TELEPHONEWIRING; CARPET...

Have a 2017 F350 Dually and will probably be buying a Heartland 427 (20'000lbs GVWR) within the next week or so. I'm torn between the Ford Custom Reese hitch kit: https://accessories.ford.com/kit-trailer-hitch-bar-11553.html and the B&W Companion. I really love that the B&W can be dismantled...

Well technically, this is my preference in drink: But in terms of color preferences of the RV, it looks like we prefer the Whiskey. Thanks @rdufek for the links!

Should be standard equipment with every RV:

Looking at a RW 427, and it comes in Brandy or Whiskey. Are there any color swatches or good color photos available for these options?

We're going to place a custom Cyclone order. I know the Cyclones comes with Rear camera prep. We would like to however instead have a Ford Super Duty (F350) trailer camera installed – i.e. this kit: https://accessories.ford.com/exterior/trailer-towing/kit-tpms-sensor-11804.html This is a...

I saw a CY4250 in person and it had a single large kitchen sink, which I really like. However, every other 4250 I've seen pictures off only had a dual sink. When I look at the custom order forms, I don't see an option to specify single vs. dual sink. So how do you go about ordering one with a...

I like that online quote system! Bit more expensive than RVWholeSalers, but nice.

Thanks a lot! I contacted them - Paul Scales isn't there anymore though. The prices are quite a bit better than anything else I've seen. Even with the delivery they're still about $10k below everyone else. Almost hard to believe! How do you find their Nationwide dealer network? Is it really...

Very frustrated trying to order a Cyclone 4250. I know exactly what I want - basically all options except dining table & paint, but I can't find anything like that within 2000 miles from here. I'm complete fine with placing a custom order, and I can write out the check for it today, but the...
