    Just installed my Centramatic balancers on my fifth wheel

    I added some Centramatic balancers to my Cyclone 4007. I’m a firm believer in these due to the fact I’ve had them on my 3500 dually for the past 6 years and have experienced a great difference vs traditional wheel balancing that changes as the tire wears. I’m glad to have them onboard

    Balancing our trailer tires

    Why doesn’t places like Discount tire or other similar places balance our rv trailer tires ..? I bought 6 new (very expensive) tires for my rv and was told “we don’t balance trailer tires”.

    EZ Connect electrical truck/RV connection

    Gary521- Good to hear from someone that has used one. The idea and YouTube video looked good and I’ve had to use a nail file to clean the contacts a couple times already and spray some contact cleaner. That electrical connection is an important one because it controls a lot of important...

    Has anyone heard about this magnetic type of connector..? I saw it on YouTube and decided it was worth trying so I ordered the complete set up from e-trailer. Just thought I would throw this out there..? Ezconnect.com

    Water running out when city water is connected

    I had the exact same issue. I had previously replaced the plastic valve with the brass version too. I just released the water pressure then moved the Anderson k ow back and forth then reset it on city water and it worked properly. Design flaw I suspect..!

    Crack on outside of bedroom slide out

    I don’t doubt that at all. Just anyone working in any other field where welding is reqywould be either reprimanded or fired for such crappy work.

    Crack on outside of bedroom slide out

    Yikes, glad to hear it’s fixed for you ..! It looks like this is an issue with just about every brand rv with a slide out ..! It seems to me that someone (?) would have figured this out by now and made changes in the integrity of the welds at these areas by now ..! This is not difficult to...

    Crack on outside of bedroom slide out

    I just noticed a crack on the outside corner (lower right) where the bedroom double slide - slide out is. Ours is a 2019 so it’s way out of the factory warranty but … we purchased the extra warranty from the dealership when we purchased it. I guess I need to see about initiating a claim to see...

    Finally retired and went full time..!

    We ended up selling it because we are traveling and that thing (although it is a great idea and works well) is a pain to set up and take down. If your staying put … get one ..!

    Surge Protector

    I am using the Hughes Autoformer and am pleased with it. I like the idea of having the 10% boost if needed so nothing gets damaged from that issue as well.

    Heated Basement

    I have the same set up as Ernest using a 250 w. ceramic heater in the underbelly area. I also don’t or try to not use my furnace unless the ceramic heaters can’t keep up then I’ll turn on the furnace for a short period of time

    Trim that's curved part under bed area on 5th wheel

    I applied a copious amount of good quality silicone glue after I heated the plastic trim with my heat gun (being careful not to melt it) then did my best to push the trim back in place. So far it’s holding ( 6 months).

    Generator question

    Our power went out the other day due to a transformer issue. It was pushing 90 degrees out so I fired up the generator and attempted to run two of my three ac units and it kept kicking a 30 amp breaker on the generator..? Shouldn’t it run two ac units ..? Onan 5500

    Is it ok to leave the inverter on all of the time

    I would think it wouldn’t hurt it by just leaving it on continuously because the shoreline power would cause it to turn off automatically. Then that’s just one thing I wouldn’t have to remember to turn on before we head out to a new location… it should automatically turn on and send power to our...

    Is it ok to leave the inverter on all of the time

    I have been just leaving my inverter on basically all of the time. Should I be turning it off when I’m hooked up to shore power or does it matter ..? Thanks.

    New Bighorn with new truck

    I also needed to add bags to mine. My pin weight has to be pushing 4000 lbs. Factory pin weight without anything in it is 3700 then because we are full time in it and the washer/dryer combo unit is up front I think 4000 is a good guess. With the bags inflated to 50-55 psi. it rides level.

    SOLVED: New 2020 CY 4007 Listing to Port side

    I know this is an older thread but I thought I would ask how your 4007 is holding up so far..? We have been full timing in ours now for about 17 months and so far only minor things that you would expect nothing major …. So far.

    Are any/all Heartland RVs all season?

    We are full time in our Cyclone. I added some floor insulation back under the garage area bevy there wasn’t any at all there from the factory. We are now retired so we try our best to chase the weather so we are comfortable.
