    multiple slide out issues.

    All of the side walls on my slide outs have water damage. The damage is caused by a construction defect. The skids were put on the bottom of the slide and the side walls were put on the outside of the skids. This allowed water to wick up through the wood on the side walls. The metal trim...

    Grey water leak on top of grey tank?

    I got an update on more info regarding tanks. I talked with the manufacturer of the tanks, in my camper they were made by Atlas. They told me that they tell the companies who use them that they need to be supported underneath. If not they will stretch and deform and eventually crack. The RV...

    Grey water leak on top of grey tank?

    My black tank was leaking from where the rubber gasket is supposed to be. They cut the tank holes to big for the gasket to be tight so it leaks. They probably did the same on the grey tank. Mine is now leaking if I ever over flow the tank. My other issue is that the tank is sagging...

    Washer bouncing when traveling..

    Just a suggestion, upgrade the suspension and add shock absorbers to it. This should limit the bounce.

    Looking at purchasing a Panda washer and dryer any opinion?

    You and I have the same camper, some questions. What ge dryer did you get? I'm thinking of putting the washer on a sliding shelf that pulls out when I do laundry, with the dryer above. What about power, I only have one 15 amp socket in the laundry closet.

    Looking at purchasing a Panda washer and dryer any opinion?

    I'm looking at a similar setup, I was wondering if the cloths come out of the washer fairly dry, the reviews say that the clothes come out soak and wet.

    Electric grills

    Shopping for a grill and noticed a lot of electric grills for indoor and outdoor use. Has anyone thought of using an electric grill outdoors for cooking instead of gas? Most of them are easy clean up and you can add flavor by adding wood chips if you like. I even found some that have...

    Gvwr q&a

    Changing the axles and tires may change your suspension and tires load capacity, but you also need to think about your weight balance. What is the maximum capacity of the garage on your toy hauler? This is what you don't want to go over as it may create major safety issues while towing.

    2018 Bighorn Traveler 39MB room modification

    I talked to Lippert about this and they told me that the sofa will come apart and can be removed. I designed a Murphy bed with a built in desk. The desk will fold down with a single bed. The bed has a filler to make it long enough for a full size adult. Good luck

    Poor Heat in the camper.

    The output temperature of an RV heater is between 140-170*, much lower than what would cause cardboard to burn, but it will dry out over time. If you are really concerned about it, you can wrap it with aluminum foil tape instead of using metal.

    Poor Heat in the camper.

    Now that it has gotten cold, I found out that the heater was really poor at heating the trailer. The bathroom was the hottest room in the camper (cooking) the front bedroom was the next hottest and the mid bunk room got some but was cold and the living room got nothing....... The factory rep...

    Mine has been fixed with adequate flow to the mid-bunk room. Heartland is in the process of testing it on a unit at this time, I talked to them last Thursday and will do a,follow up tomorrow or Tuesday.

    Shower drain not connected???? Seriously???

    You still have your factory warranty, the dealer cannot have you sign that away, and they are still required to honor it and do the repairs, it's in their contract with Heartland.....I would send Heartland a bill for your time and costs to fo the repairs along with pics of what you found.

    jbeletti's 2018 Landmark 365 Newport

    I was just looking at your water pump system and noticed something that you could do that would help your flow. You are using a T connector instead of a Y connector. The T connectors have a lot of restriction to flow and a Y connector would reduce restriction substantially.

    Fulltiming?

    Just saw your post, I'm full timing in a mid bunk model and these units have issues. The two biggest issues are construction quality, but some of this may be resolved with Heartlands new PDI program to find issues. On my unit its been the what next syndrome but they are slowly getting...

    I know that this is model specific but this issue could be in other units, so I posted it here. I have a mid bunk Big Horn Traveler 2018 model and have been having many issues, the list is very long and they are slowly getting dealt with but it is becoming very tiring. This is the latest...

    2017 Bighorn Traveler 39MB - Why No A/C vent in Middle Bunk Room???

    I'm almost done with the modification and have figured out a simple way to do it. The ceiling duct was changed from the original plans, and my unit did not match them. I extended the living room duct near the door to the corner of the wall (from the inside so that I wouldn't have to drop the...

    Is this normal?

    This is not normal. The flange is glued to the top of the tank and the pipe is glued to the flange. The tanks are designed to be leak proof except for the vent. I went through this on my black tank as it had the same issue. Contact heartland, this is a dangerous situation that can cause...

    2017 Bighorn Traveler 39MB - Why No A/C vent in Middle Bunk Room???

    ot Not really. The factory duct was never tied into the factory ducting in the ceiling. I pulled the wall in the loft area between the bathroom and loft and found that the tie in was never drilled through the ceiling. I drilled it out only to find out that the ceiling ducting did not line up...

    Some recommendations for the mid-bunk model

    Some recommendations for the mid-bunk model. The AC vent in the mid-bunk room, if it works ( mine didn't and was repaired) is practically worthless, no airflow. You should move the vent to the wall behind the entry door with a 4" duct to increase air flow. Add a shelf under the bathroom...

    Calender

    I have a suggestion. Is it possible to have an events calendar that shows all of the events for the year. People could add events to it and it would be very easy to see what's happening and make plans to attend. Maybe have links for more information, or to forum discussions.
