    Gray tank valve won’t close

    I'm in the same boat, I haven't done any troubleshooting on mine yet, so I'm following to see what others suggest on your post! Two birds one stone! Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    Considering a 2022 MALLARD M251BH

    We had a 2018 Mallard M33 that we full timed in for 2 years prior to upgrading to our current 2020 Big Horn 39MB and we really enjoyed it even as we were upgrading. The quality on ours was good. The insulation was pretty good too as we never had any frozen pipes even in 5 degree weather with 20...

    Heartland Owner's Club to Continue in 2022 and Beyond

    As a side note due to the awesome rallies, we have promoted Heartland RV's and have brought others to purchase Heartland RV's. Those purchases didn't benefit us but did benefit Heartland. I feel that most of that will become the past on a broader scale and will reflect in Heartlands financial...

    Heartland Owner's Club to Continue in 2022 and Beyond

    I agree, Jim was and is definitely a great guy! I'm somewhat out of the loop on what all is and has transpired although I've definitely begun to piece it all together and I'm in disagreement with how Heartland has conducted themselves. We also upgraded our RV from the bumper pull to the 5th...

    Sanitizing water system

    We're on a well also and we use bleach to sanitize ours. I usually shock the well about every 3-6 months by dumping 2-3 gallons of bleach down it (definitely overkill in the amount of bleach needed) and then running that water through our rv until the bleach smell dissipates and usually help it...

    How thick is the roof of my Elkridge?

    The omnidirectional antennas not being able to pick up as good of a signal as the directional antennas is one of the biggest downsides with them but they can sure be convenient if you move around quite a bit and don't want to spend the time researchimg towers and readjusting the antenna. You...

    How thick is the roof of my Elkridge?

    That's a pretty good write up on some tips and tricks! There's also a couple cell phone apps you can use that will give you the Dbi (signal strength) you're receiving, as well as locate the direction of the cell towers although using the computer like you're doing is a whole lot more detailed...

    First time

    You may have air in the propane lines, I would recommend turning all the burners onto the "lite" setting and let them run for about 15-20 seconds and then try to light a burner. If it doesn't light shut them all back off wait a minute or two and repeat the process a couple times they should...

    Excessive problems

    Most of those are fairly big issues in my opinion especially on a 2018 model. Those also aren't very common issues either especially in the quantity that you seem to have. I would start looking into other ways to rectify those issues as it seems the manager isn't too inclined to assist you. Good...

    Thermostat problem

    If your furnace mode is missing on your thermostat and your only seeing AC or fan as a selectable option, try changing the fan mode from "high" or "low" to "auto" instead and then see if the furnace option becomes available again. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    How thick is the roof of my Elkridge?

    We had bought a Weboost as well and coming from a technology background with a fair bit of knowledge I was really disappointed with ours. We actually gave up using it and probably should've returned it while within the return period but to late for that now. Hopefully you'll have better luck...

    Waste water help

    You could try turning the water off to the RV and using a manual hand snake stick it down the toilet opening and try twisting it by hand to loosen up the blockage. If/as the blockage clears add some water to help the process along. We had the same issue when we first started out and it was...

    washer/dryer securing non-matching brands

    We had roughly the same issue, we have a GE apartment size 120V washer and panda dryer and initially I used gusset plates and L brackets drilled into both the washer and dryer to hold them together and we didn't have any issues other than I didn't care for the cosmetic look. If you go that route...

    How thick is the roof of my Elkridge?

    I'm not sure the thickness of the roof but I know you can get a 3/4" paddle bit that has at least an 8" shaft from Lowes and it would definitely go through the distance you're looking at. From personal experience and making mistakes before, I would recommend starting on the inside of the RV and...

    Advice on purchasing a 2018 Heartland 21FBS

    About two weeks ago we looked at used RVs for someone else and I think that's about the ballpark price they seem to be running right now. With that said though I also noticed for about 5-10K more you could get a brand new one (the market on new ones started to open up at 30K from the research we...

    Black tank chemicals

    We've done it both ways and for us we can't tell a difference either way so I think it'd be user preference. Sometimes we add it before we move and sometimes we just wait until setup. Either way we go we always add a couple toilet flushes full of water so it can start to mix. Sent from my...

    Sorry if this has been asked Before

    The best way I know of to figure out what drains to what tank would be to empty all tanks and close the drain valves. Then get food coloring or just use water and turn on the kitchen sink first let it run and fill the tank for a while then go open each valve separately and see if water comes out...

    No water flowing out any Hot water faucet

    To answer one of your questions, when hooked up to the city water connection you won't use/have a pump to pump the water through the RV since it relies on the water pressure coming directly from the water hose to "force" it through the RV. The water pump you have is used when not hooked up to a...

    No water flowing out any Hot water faucet

    I'm curious to see what the issue and resolution is. The only thing I can think of is that you have a blockage in a hot water line or a blockage coming from your hot water tank. I would disconnect the water, shut off and drain the water heater and try to flush and clean it out and see if that...

    Looking at purchasing a Panda washer and dryer any opinion?

    Looking at the GE website again since its been awhile I think the dryer that fits on top of the washer is either one of these two 120v dryers they offer Model #: DSKS333ECWW or this one Model #: DSKP333ECWW the only difference between the two I think is the location of the dials. Also the...

    Looking at purchasing a Panda washer and dryer any opinion?

    Looking at purchasing a Panda washer and dryer any opinion?

    The one I had the clothes would come out fairly dry, not as dry as a household washing machine but not soaking wet either. It was really a good unit for the price point and it was still running when we sold it and upgraded our RV that now has a washer and dryer prep. We have an apartment size...

    Converting U Shaped dinette into a bed

    I don't have a picture but if it's anything like our U shaped dinette we had in our Mallard M33 you should have a seperate piece of plywood with a folding leg attached to it that fills in the empty space on the U. You'll extend the leg and then fit the plywood within the empty U shape space and...

    It made a huge difference! It's now a consistent 20 degree temperature difference between inside and outside!

    Not cooling very well.

    I did quite a bit of research on the mini split and really wanted one but just couldn't find a place to mount the outside portion since we don't have our rear bumper installed yet. I thought about attaching it to the exterior fiberglass but felt that was way to risky for my level of expertise...

    Not cooling very well.

    The 110 degree temperatures is what had me concerned about just the two air conditioners up top and seeing how they weren't cooling at even the low 90's. I'm not sure 3 AC's is an option on ours but I'm definitely going to dig around and see if it is and if so I plan on adding it for sure...

    Not cooling very well.

    The stand alone unit or portable AC unit is what we just finished installing today, we thought about doing a window unit as we've seen several in other RV's but I'm always afraid sealing them in the window might be an issue and if it rained water might come in, plus removing them for travel...

    Not cooling very well.

    I'm thinking those slide toppers might be coming sooner than later. Those might do a fairly good job at keeping the sun off the slides to include protecting it from tree sap and other environmental things. We bought white spray paint today and I'm going to paint our plastic AC protectors...
