    Creating Generator load in winter time

    I like the space heater and fireplace idea. I've already winterized the unit for the winter. It may be a good excuse to go sit in the camper and watch some football and pop some popcorn in the microwave! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Creating Generator load in winter time

    I want to run my generator once month as many have suggested to keep it running properly. I'd like to run under load for about 30 minutes. How do folks typically create a load in the winter time without running the A/C's? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    bouncing front to back when rolling ?

    This may not help at all, but I have a 2017 f350 pulling 17k lb RW. I'm pulling with a B&W companion hitch (using Ford puck system) without anything in the garage and I'm not getting any of that. Just fwiw.... Jason Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    2017 F350 headlights blinding other drivers

    No on the LED's. I'm pulling the RW362, so not the heavier one. My truck doesn't squat much at all (only moves less than 3" so not on the overloads)... Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    2017 F350 headlights blinding other drivers

    I'm not sure if your reply was meant to sound a bit sharp but it did. I was just looking for some insight and less judgement. I've always found the feedback here gracious and productive so I'm assuming that's where you're coming from. I can't speak to other trucks except the three trucks I've...

    2017 F350 headlights blinding other drivers

    I see the consistent response seems to be go with airbags. I've had those before (granted on a different vehicle) and while it would fix the headlight issue, I'm thinking it would negatively affect my ride quality?? Right now, I really like the ride quality when the camper is connected... Sent...

    2017 F350 headlights blinding other drivers

    I recently towed my RW with my new 2017 F350. Although my truck only squats less than 3 inches, apparently it's enough to throw the headlights right into oncoming traffic. The truck drives and rides like a dream so I don't want to add airbags. Just curious if others had similar issues and what...

    Just curious if anyone has traveled with the bed system in the down position. I know the owner's manual says to travel with it in the up position. Just curious if anyone has traveled with it in the down position. Thanks. Jason Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    King bed to queen conversion

    Thanks. Do you happen to have any pictures? When you say perimeter support, are you referring to on passenger side or driver side? Did you alter both sides or just one side? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    King bed to queen conversion

    We have a RW362 with a king bed. Needless to say, I love the size of bed but would trade it for a little more walking room in the bedroom. Just curious if anyone has converted from a king to a queen. I know there is a slide mechanism that allows the bed to shift slightly as the bedroom slide...

    SOLVED: Slide issue

    Re: Slide issues Thank you. Luckily, it was user error. We ran out the super slide first and then the main slides wouldn't go out. Oh well, live and learn! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    I know I've seen others post on here where they ran the hydraulic slides out and back in before going out all the way and they got off track. How do I fix that? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Thermostat issues

    When you touch it, the touch screen is very temperamental. It will easily switch to Celcius and the temperature may go up or down whenever you touch it -- sometimes it's difficult to get it to do what you want it to. I read on Heartland's owners Facebook page where many folks are having the same...

    Thermostat issues

    Like many owners, I'm having issues with this thermostat. I asked about changing to a different, older style thermostat; however the dealer said it had to be that exact style b/c of power management system. Anyone have any experience with switching to older style? (For reference, we have a 2018...

    My new 2017 F350

    When you ask what the pin height is, are you referring to the measurement from the ground to the bottom of kingpin or plate or something else? I don't have my camper at my house right now. I will say, with my b&w companion hitch in the middle setting, I have good clearance at full turn. I ended...

    Heat in garage

    First night running heat in our new RW 362. Just curious how folks typically heat the garage area. Both my kids sleep back there but realized there are no vents back there for the heat. I'm worried they'll get cold in the night. What do other folks do? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Heaviest 5th wheel on Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel hitch

    I'm hoping to get some first-hand accounts of folks who have pulled a heavier 5th wheel on the Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel hitch. It seems to get good reviews but I can't get any clarity from folks who have pulled a heavier 5th wheel. My toy hauler is 17k gross. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk
