    Leaking Gray Water

    I bet. your fitting is broken. For some reason Heartland doesn't use a flexible fitting in the top of their tanks. All mine broke within a year of owning the unit. I replaced mine with a rubber coupler and good quality fitting. These tanks flex a lot when they get full !

    Water Pump Issue ? Not Constant.

    My money is on the pump. When you open one more tap it kicks into high flow and works fine. Other times the taps work fine and then the next minute not so much. Im sure this is a Sureflo deal. Any other better pumps out there ? Cheers

    Water Pump Issue ? Not Constant.

    I have a 2013 Cyclone 3800. I'm not 100% which pump I have but it seems when on shore power and drawing water with the pump the water surges and is not constant out the tap. However when I flush toilets the water is steady. Also when I use the hot water only in the kitchen and rear bathroom...

    Towmax Garbage ! Another one bites the dust !!

    So far i have heard nothing from Dynamic since the tire was shipped to them. I finally installed my new 17.5 wheels with the Continental HTL2 tires. I have to say these tires are 10 times more heavy duty than the Tow Max garbage. Also when i removed the other 5 tires i noticed one is severely...

    Towmax Garbage ! Another one bites the dust !!

    Id sure like a rep to comment in here. Especially since they told me what they told me. I cant believe they so far have washed their hands of this mess. Kinda not the Heartland ive grown to love.

    Towmax Garbage ! Another one bites the dust !!

    I was pretty surprised to see Dynamic call me and arrange for the shipping of tire back to them today. That was only 2 says later. I'm still in doubt that anything will be done about my situation. Will be interesting for sure.

    Towmax Garbage ! Another one bites the dust !!

    Im not holding my breath on Heartland or Dynamic. I can bet a case of fine Canadian beer they will do absolutely nothing. I am installing 17.5 wheels with either Goodyear G114 or Continental HTL2s. Enough of this garbage. I truly thought Heartland was smarter than this !

    Cyclone 3800 Magnum Inverter Install !

    Yes this is correct. I seriously thought about the sub panel idea. To me it made perfect sense. However my parts guy who works for a huge RV dealer and has installed hundreds of them in all sorts of RV's has always installed them direct to the panel. He told me the reason most guys bought...

    Outback Power Inverter Charger

    Good question. My RV parts guy told me they were the best. I was buying a Magnum MS when he told me about them. I tried to find out the same info with no avail. I did notice they were cheaper in the US than the MS. My guy told me they were way more than the MS. Not sure. I did read they...

    Re: Electrical Hum - Converter/Transer Switch ? Just had the front all apart for some warranty work. The hum is coming from the transfer switch. Seems loud to me. I was surprised to see they use Progressive Dynamics for the converter, nice ! Tech seemed to say it was normal. Not sure

    Cross Border Warranty ?

    So what is the consensus as far as getting warranty if you buy a unit from the US and bring it into Canada ? Should Heartland step up and have their dealers warranty a unit if it is not bought from a local dealer ? I would like to hear your thoughts.
