Figure out what you plan on doing with your RV. My wife and I settled on a Mallard M260 31’ for our first RV. We love it and have no interest in getting a bigger one. We head out on long weekends (Thurs - Sun) at least once a month And head out a week or 10-days at a time every summer. If you...

Thank you for the input! I figured it out, the service center flushed my system with air during winterization. which all they did was remove the drain to water heater. I thought I was opening the lines to water heater when I actually closed them. I know have water in hot water tank and it’s...

Just got our RV out of storage, it was winterized at a local shop last November. Hooked up water hose to city water connection. Opened the bypass valves for the water heater, screwed the water heater drain plug back in. Turned water on and the electric water heater switch. Water came out of hot...

Thank you for the response. The M260 came with the from the factory. One of these came off, my question is what sort of caulk should I use to re-attach it?

One of the black rain drip spouts on the roof broke off, is there a recommended sealer to re-attach it to our RV?

I’m looking for a good RV route planner for my iPhone. I have RV LIFE but disappointed in the route planner. It’s supposed to prove safe routes for towing our RV. It’s taken us on some let’s just say bazaar roads and sometimes the recommended route is sometimes 2-hours longer than other routes...

Since I’m a newbie, that’s what I’m afraid of. Our son and his family are newbie full-time RVers, his black tank overflowed and what a mess. Any words of wisdom?

My black tank sensor doesn’t work with crap. I’ve tried putting a bag of ice in while driving, no success. Is there a better way to het the sensor to work properly or a new system that does monitor level accurately of my black tank.

We need to replace our battery in our M260. We boondock occassionly most of the time we’re RVing at campgrounds with power. I do have to store our RV at another location, I want to be sure I’ve got power to raise/lower trailer tong. any recommendations on batteries, is a marine deep-cycle...

My city water hookup is in the back of the RV, on the inside is my bathroom and is a solid wall.

I have no idea, we jus purchased this RV last October, where would I look? I know there’s a bypass valve to put pink antifreeze in lines for winterizing process. Heartland doesn’t have any really detailed user manuals for their RVs.

If I have a water source hooked up to city water connection, will any of this water flow into my fresh water tank Or will water be used on demand from water source?

How much louder are running your two Kipars vs. running just a single one?

Sorry for all the questions I have one more. I’m trying to figure out if running two 2500w gennys in parallel creates more noise vs. a single 3500w genny. Does anyone have any input on how much noisier running two 2000-2500w gennys in parallel vs. that same genny running in single configuration?

thank you for all the feedback we are newbies to RVing. I can handle the install as I’m mechanically and electrical inclined. Only problem for me I do not like heights at all. Do you think a 2500w genny with short cord will drive the ss AC?

I’m starting the research on generators for my M260 when boondocking. I’m looking at installing a soft start on my AC unit. Does anyone have experience with a single say 2500w generator powering the AC with a soft start? I know I can get a 3000w+ generator to drive the AC but these are > 100...

I’m considering keyless door entry for my 2021 M260. Any recommendations on unit to buy and how is it working for you?

One more question - what size screws did you use for mounting the PERLESMITH UL Listed Lockable RV TV Mount to your M260 wall 1/2"?

Here is the exact info on questions I asked and response from Champion: Response from Champion support: To answer both your question, it is possible but you are going to need to provide and get your own LPG Hose that would be able to meet this requirement shown below: -1/2 PSI with a flow...

One of the generators I'm looking at is the Champion 2500w dual-fuel. I sent their support a question on what do these gennies need here's their response, "-1/2 PSI with a flow rate of 76,000 BTU/hr. under max load."

I’m looking at 2500w dual-fuel generators. Does the grill quick connect in the back of our RV have enough pressure to drive a dual-fuel generato?

My wife and I took our recently purchased M260 out for its maiden voyage. We were using water from our fresh water tank. I noticed the water pump would switch on about every minute or two for a few seconds. Is this normal?

Has anyone installed a soft start AC device on your Mallard M260 or other Heartland RV? Curious if this really allows a single 2200w generator to drive a 15000BTU unit and how hard it is to install.

We are not retired but we bought for the same reasons you indicated. Light enough to pull with our Expedition but has plenty of room for my wife and I.

Thank you! One last question, is there a siphon hose off the water pump to put into pink RV antifreeze, if so where is it on the M260? Sorry for all the questions, I've found Heartland does not have a specific owners manual for M260.

We just bought a used 2021 M260 and getting ready to winterize. Where are the water heater bypass valves and which ones do I shut off?

Thank you very much for the info! How do you like your M260? My wife and I are newbies to RVing, we love our M260.

I just bought a used 2021 Mallard M260. I would like to mount a TV on the inside wall above slide out shelf and fireplace. How do I find the location of the mounting block?
