I have a 2018 Elkridge and the metal frame, near the hinges, has separated from the foam portion. The door is pretty much useless. Luckily I have two doors but would still like to get my main door replaced.

I’m wondering if anyone has found a bank or credit union that would allow an RV to be financed as a mortgage loan rather than just a personal loan. I do not own a “house” but am trying to have a mortgage on my credit profile to maximize my FICO score. Any information would be much appreciated...

Yeah but my spot is about 18-20 inches away from that channel. I was thinking of trying to shove a thin steel plate between the floor and joists. But if the polystyrene has in fact broken down then there will still be a soft spot I would imagine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A few minutes after posting this, I went ahead and got underneath, pulled loose the black plastic backing board to look for water. Bone dry. I saw the channel you mentioned, with the kitchen sink drain, however, it has 2x4 (2x2??) supports on both sides of the drain pipe. However, I do agree...

I noticed about 2 weeks ago a soft spot right in the middle between the kitchen island and the dinette slide-out. I don’t see water leaking from beneath my RV, nor have I found any moisture on any surface of the floor or the plumbing inside the island under the sink. This is a 2018 Heartland...

He didn’t mention it in his reply but those “buckets” are called Jack Blocks. I use them on my 5er too. They make a huge difference in minimizing the rocking of the rv due to the jacks being extended way out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you cancelled before the first of the month then I don’t see why there would be an issue. The refund should have been the correct thing for them to do. One of their “idiots” in accounting probably saw that and is now treating it as they would with a contract account, which is not the case. I...

If you didn’t purchase the equipment like I did then yes, probably. Anything to make a buck these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They charge a month in advance. If you start mid-month you’re charged for remainder of that month plus the next month. So it’s not really a deposit so much as it is paying for what is essentially a pre-paid service. Imb Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure which receiver you’re using but with my current DISH receiver, I can change the zip code myself in the receiver settings. It’s part of initial setup. I’ve had Direct in the past and I remember being able to do the same thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should be able to find one on etrailer. https://www.etrailer.com/Fifth-Wheel-King-Pin/Lippert-Components/LC158778.html Don’t know if that’s the exact one you need but you can search the site. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve done a few things this week. Threw the cheapo uncomfortable dual recliner in a dumpster and put in an amazingly comfortable La-Z-boy recliner made with memory foam. I hung and set up my MoFi router for my unlimited internet. Then, I got brave and tore out the cheap little laptop size...

If you mean what tools, I just used a regular spade bit. I already had drilled two holes through the wood (running coax cable) so I just used the same bit to go through the countertop behind my tv. It’s the same material on all my counters throughout the rv. It actually drills a rather smooth...

Just wanted to throw this in here. Using the level up works fine. As do the Jack Blocks since they’re rated for 6K each. The one thing to mention if lifting both axels is to make sure the spring hangers are all back in the correct upward position. It took me a while to get those back right with...

Should be the same as my ‘18 Elkridge. I was curious about it too and it’s made by Hi-Macs which is owned by LG. I pulled this from the website. .... {{HI-MACS[emoji768] is an outstanding solid surface material. A delicate composition of acrylic, minerals and natural pigments that combine to...

If it has indeed been winterized, wouldn’t opening the valves be draining the anti-freeze?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The new models are 3K but, no idea if the 2011 was the same or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The “back-up” model is meant for just that, slow moving. The “observation” model is made for higher speed like driving down the highway. I can only assume that it has something to do with the speed of the focus or something with the internals of the camera itself. But, this is just my educated...

On amazon search for “RV Camper King 72x80” you will get a bunch of results. I got the 80 dollar set but there are a bunch for 30,40,50..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You make a very good point, however it would be nice if they would wire it in to the running lights rather than into the RVs 12v system, as was my case, and many other’s from what I’ve read. I think we can all agree on that one. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

According to the Heartland tech that I spoke with on the phone, the back up prep pkg is “supposed” to be getting wired to the reverse side of the 7 pin. But apparently that has not been communicated to the people in the shop(s) doing the actual wiring work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2018 Elkridge has the Dometic cheesy little Capacity Touch Controllers. The one in the bedroom has had no issues but I’ve replaced the main 3 times. The “touch” is sooooo finicky. Sometimes it does nothing, other times it gets “stuck” and the numbers just keep going on their own. I’ve tried...

RV king is only 70x80. Regular King is 76x80. I just cut my foam to fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Too late. It’s done. Now, with my luck, next time I hook up to the truck and turn on the lights, it’ll probably burn down the whole rv. But....that’ll make for a new thread another time. LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve actually been pulling wires this morning. Pulled the prep pkg bracket off and wires out, it’s tied in to a White/Black and a White, which just so happens to be the same as all the wiring for all 5 slides. I did pull the breaker box but saw nothing that looked like these. I watched a YouTube...

I like the idea of it being on a remote control rather than a switch that I would likely forget to turn on before running all my slides in.... Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am thinking more of premature (burn out ??) of the camera by being left on. As for fuses, there are a few up there along with a bunch of wires, mostly for the 6 way leveling system and all 5 slides, but also the inverter, Solar prep wiring, and more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you by chance have any pics of your mod on this? Mine was also pre wired to full time hot. Must have some idiots working in their electrical department. ?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Reviving a somewhat older thread.... My 2018 Elkridge 40FLFS had the Furrion prep, I bought the “back up” camera. I’m not really interested in watching the road behind me while driving. Anyway, I installed it a few days ago to find it is wired into the 12 volt system somewhere and stays powered...

I’m not familiar with this RV but my Elkridge has the Onan remote prep and the wires to hook up to a generator are already run up to the front compartment and hanging in the area where my hydraulic system is. Maybe this will help....??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll check with the local gas supply company. I don’t move around that often, only when moving to a new job location which is 3 months to a couple years so it may not be that bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had nothing to do with the question. I’m aware of how a cylinder containing propane is to be transported, ergo my question of how to “safely and LEGALLY” empty it.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there a way to legally empty my 100 lb propane tank so I can safely, and legally, haul it in the back of my truck horizontally while the 5th wheel is hitched?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not Heartland specific but wondering if anyone has replaced their water heater with a Truma Aquago? Anything good or bad to say about them before I drop a couple grand for endless hot water?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll look into that and do up a cost analysis. I would much prefer that to having to go fill a bunch of jugs with gas when I’m already carrying diesel for the truck. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well since I’m also in South TX it sounds like the 7k is what I need. Would be nice to run diesel since I already have a diesel slip tank in my truck but I’ll make it work. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello. I recently bought my 2018 Elkridge 40FLFS and have been trying to research the same thing. I’m wondering if you have decided on a generator yet?? Mine actually has the Genset prep pkg but I’m just curious what would be the largest I can fit in the compartment. Sent from my iPhone using...

Yes, there’s definitely a couple things I would change but for the most part being just myself, it’s perfect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Under the bedroom slide there is an amber light that I cannot find a switch for anywhere to turn it off. ???? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Loving this front living floor plan. I don’t yet have pics of the inside, just a short video tour but here’s the outside. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
