    Dometic (gas absorption) RM 1350 SLM glass fuse type

    Does anyone know which type of glass fuse (5A 125V) is used in this unit?? Not sure if it's supposed to have a GMA 5A 5mmX20mm fast blow, or a GDC 5A slow blow? After resetting the GFI from an apparent overload, I noticed the unit would only run on LP, not A/C. Further troubleshooting revealed...

    left door flapper alignment RM1350

    Does anyone know how to adjust the flapper on the bottom of the left lower door so that it glides into the guide plate without having to slightly lift the door so that the flapper pin falls into the guide plate? Searching the forum, there was a post by Dan in 2012 about a new guide plate, but...

    Level up manifold 6 point

    Just wondering for anyone else that has the Lippert 6 point leveling system, how many manifolds (trombetta) do you have? My 2019, 31RLK Elkridge has only one manifold. A conversation with Lippert claims that there should be two manifolds.....one for extend, and one for retract. If you look at...

    Legend TV mystery????

    We have a 2014 Gateway 3200RS with a 40" legend TV (model LE 3933) . Suddenly, it started to change channels all by itself after a few minutes. Here's some of the things I tried: 1) Took batteries out of the remote, still changed by itself 2) Hooked to cable vs off the air 3) Changed locations...

    Wet bolt install

    I thought it would be a good idea to install the Mor/Ryde wet bolt kit which includes heavier shackles and bronze bushings. My trailer, 2014 Gateway 3200RS, came from the factory with Correct Track. After much digging, I discovered the OEM CT units have the bolt heads tack welded to the cams...

    Bike rack

    Just wondering if any Gateway owners that have the spare tire mounted on the rear bumper, have also mounted a bike rack? I don't see any other way to hang two full size bikes back there without relocating the spare tire to under the trailer. Wonder why Heartland didn't mount the tire underneath...

    Rv lock "beep" died

    The other day my RV lock ""beep died all of a sudden. Yes, the batteries are fresh. A call to RV lock indicated there's a tiny capacitor on the circuit board that "wears out". No problem, as a new circuit board is on the way for easy self installation. I have the black version 4 integrated lock...

    Buyer beware-Thetford Smart tote 2 XL

    I thought a tote would come in handy for State park camping, So I watched the Thetford video on the above mentioned 18 gallon tank. I also thought it would be a good idea to leak test it with clean water before using it. This unit has a float device that tells you when it's full. Good idea! Upon...

    Bathroom water pump switch

    Yesterday installed another illuminated water pump switch in the bathroom above the toilet. when using the fresh water tank for H2O supply while boondocking or state campgrounds, I do not like to leave the switch on (pressurized) during the night or when we are away from the RV. It seemed that...

    Spare tire rack failure (bumper mount)

    We were at the heartland Amana Rally in Iowa two weeks ago, and on the way home we stopped overnight in a small town in Iowa. I just happened to notice that my rear bumper mounted spare tire rack was leaning towards the rear at an angle that did not seem correct. Upon further inspection, I...

    Moveable island casters

    Just wondering how many folks have replaced the 2" casters with larger ones on their moveable island? I worry about the strength of the OEM ones, to include the dents made in the floor. "EDDHUY" posted a while ago about his replacement, but there were no details of the installation. I have...

    3200RS front generator/storage compartment

    The front compartment seems to have numerous cutout areas for a generator, I assume. This compartment also houses the batteries and inverter. What has anyone put on the floor to make it water resistant? If you want to store items in there and want to keep them dry, they will get wet when...

    ATF: Gateway - mystery A/C breaker

    There is a 15 amp circuit breaker that has a label "FIRE" on it. Through process of elimination I still have not been able to determine what it controls. The CO2 detector in the bedroom is battery powered, and the propane detector is 12volt powered. I have not been able to find any other...

    ATF: Gateway - Help with battery identification

    As part of a PM on my new 2014 Gateway 3200RS, (build 10/4/2013) I decided to check out the two batteries. I discovered there is painful access to get to them. Once you unscrew the four screws for the battery box, you have to disconnect the plus and minus cables in order to gain visual access to...

    EMSHW50C Surge Protector for 2014 Gateway 3200RS

    Unfortunately, I did not have time to remove my HWC 50C from my trade-in unit at the Urbanna rally. So I need to get one for the Gateway. After reading all the threads of this topic, I did not find anyone who has hardwired a 50 amp PMS to an RV with a residential refrigerator and...

    ATF: Gateway - Gateway AC refrigerator/inverter

    How long will the Frigidaire refrigerator run just on the two 12 volt batteries? (dry camping) The dealer claims 41 hours. Our 3200 came standard with the residential AC only refrigerator and two 12 volt batteries, wired in parallel, with a 1000 watt inverter. There is no information on the amp...

    Michigan Caravan to 2014 Heartland Rally in Urbanna, VA

    Just wondering if any Michigan folks would be interested in traveling together in a caravan of sorts to the National Rally in June? Claudia and I are real flexible on dates, routes, and stops, but would like to arrive on June 8th for the Pre-Rally. Our base is Holland. This is assuming the snow...

    Hoist for hitch

    Eagle Ridge - How many are there?

    Wheel bearing seals

    Just curious, since we all have to do this maintenance on our trailers each year, how many folks put any lubricant around the outer edge of the grease seals when pressing them into the hub? I put a light coat of wheel bearing grease on the outer edge just to help them go into the hub easier. I...

    32" Jensen TV frozen

    That is electronically "frozen". A couple of weeks ago we purchashed the Jensen stand so that we could bring the TV indoors to enjoy for the winter. It was working fine for about two weeks until last night. I only was able to view the normal basic cable stations ( not digital over the air). It...

    shrink wrap

    Just wondering if anyone has/is going to shrink wrap their trailer for outdoor storage this season? I've seen this commonly used on boats, and they have ventilation inserts for plenty of air movement. Dr. Shrink seems to be interesting. The cost is far less than a cover and indoor storage. It...

    Winter outdoor uncovered storage

    After searching many posts/threads, I'm still on the fence about leaving the 35DSRL outside, uncovered for the winter. From a financial aspect, it's a "win", but from a maintenance aspect, it could lead to further repairs that cost more than the storage. I have a safe place next to the house...

    name that part

    Went camping this weekend, and after one day all of a sudden the enclosed spring shot out of the city water connection, and water soon followed every time the in-house pump pressurized the system. As a result, I could not use any water in the trailer, as I could not stop the water from coming...

    Shear bolts for sildes

    Noticed yesterday that the bolt in the slide tube (main slide) was missing. I assume this is a shear bolt. Found the broken piece on the ground, but cannot identify the grade for replacement. The slide cannot be manually retracted at this point. Any idea what causes these to break, and what...

    Amplifier for stereo unit

    Just wondering if the 100ZXI 12 Volt 2-Channel Audio Amplifier can plug directly into the AWM970? There appears to be a cable in the back of the unit that accepts an amplifier. Wondering also if there are any other direct connect amplifiers that can give the audio some boost??? Eagle Ridge 35DSRL

    electrical panels

    Bryan, Enclosed are two pictures of my electrical panels. It is hard to read the description on the 12 volt panel for positions #7 and #9. Would it be possible to get printed labels, like the Bighorns have, or at lease decipher the handwriting. Thanks 35DSRL Eagle Ridge

    12 volt outlets

    I'd like to know where the 12 volt outlets are in my 2010 35DSRL. The manual claims they are located throughout the trailer. It would be nice to be able to charge my cell phone and GPS in the trailer.

    Surge suppressor install

    Just installed a Progressive Ind. 50 AMP hardwired EMS. I removed the "pass-thru" carpeted panel for access, and cut the 50 amp cable at that point before it connected to the breaker panel. Quite a hard job to get the current sensors around the hot legs and then stuffed into the box. Unit works...

    Breaker/fuse panel

    Eagle Ridge recall

    Surge suppressor

    Hi......Without having seen how the 35DSRL is built, I'd like to know where a good place would be to cut into the main power feed to hardwire a Progressive surge suppressor?
