staying longterm in amarillo tx and the rv park has many heartlands. my rushmore is parked next to a sundance and 2 spots on down is big country, the next one is a big horn and 3 or 4 spots down from there is another landmark. All of us parked in longterm-- so far more than a month there. I...

Not sure how far back the problem exists, but we have replaced 5 of our flourescent lights in our 2011 rushmore. They work when first turned on and after warming up (5-10 minutes) they overheat and shut themselves off. Wiring checked out ok and happened on different switches, so contacted...

Have been full timing for little over a year in stationary location with full hookups and in the last 3 weeks when first open faucet (cold) we get hot water out of the line. The water is even hotter that hot water side or at least as hot. The duration may be as long as 1 or 2 minutes. My water...

update: Got 3 new flourescent fixture from heartland to replace two faulty units in our 2011 rushmore.. One of the three work, two have the same problem with shutting down after being on 10-15 minutes. Will see about getting some more out. Also wondering how long your flourescent lamps are...

We fulltime in our 2011 rushmore here in panhandle of texas. Winters (last two) haven't been kind. Get a good heated water hose. I put foam pipe inslulation around mine and run the hose under the trailer and then skirted w/ cedar fencing and rigid foam insulation on north, east and west...

kary we fulltime and are many miles away from nearest dealer, let alone our dealer. Should i contact someone at heartland, and if so who would you recommend? Would pictures help?? Randy

My rushmore (2011) is nearing warranty end and we have several cabinet doors/drawers losing their finish. It is flaking off and leaving sizable bare spots. For the most part the flaking is occurring on the "rounded portions of the doors and drawers not in the "flats" or panels. Wondering if...

we have 2011 rushmore and had the same problem. Even when new, cooking with multiple pots or one big pan of water would squash the grommets and often would fall through as well as get torn if replacing grate after cleaning. I found new ones at local rv shop and then per instructions on thread...

Have a 2011 rushmore. Unit is rear entertainment with the power up/down and unit "hides" behind fireplace. Was wondering if anyone has tried to put different mount on unit in order to get better viewing angle from either couch our chairs? Looks like new mount could be incorporated into the...

back with model #'s i ordered the chairs from theatrestore.com. There are others, but got best price here (approx $1100) with extended warranty and delivery and installation (white glove treatment). They are Berkline "Reno" models. There are several models. You can order with double arms or...

sorry don't have pictures, but we took the swivel rockers out of our 2011 rushmore and replace them with berkline theatre chairs. They are shipped seperate backs and bottoms so they easily fit thru the trailer door and assembly was easy. They are wall hugger leather recliners. There is a...

Thanks for reply Went home at lunch and turned furnace on for the heck of it and the dang thing worked fine--go figure--is this like the sqeaky, grinding noise thing that the DW hears on her car but won't replicate for me or shop???? Guess we will see how things work tonite.

Woke up this morning to a 81 degree unit. Furnace apparently came on and didn't ever shut off. Checked t-stat---set @ 68 deg. Lowered t-stat to 50 and still wouldn't shut off. Did get it to shut down by turning unit off. Then thought maybe t-stat bad so switched t-stat in hall with t-stat...

Greetings we have a 2011 rushmore (april 2010). Ours has the central vac but there is no dustpan device. Thought there would be but not ! there are small lights to light the stairs and the island has toe lights, both work well for night lights. We have double fridge so no pantry. we fulltime...

this may be off topic, but couldn't find under search. Why is it necessary to continually have to log in. I have been on here for 30 minutes today and have had to log in at least 3 if not 4 times. Why won't my login "keep"/

Greetings all We have a 2011 rushmore --love it--- however we picked up unit in april and have burnt out four flourescent lights in the first 6 months. Now two of the lights on different circuits refuse to stay on more than 10-15 minutes, while all others on the circuit/switch work fine. If...

would like to chime in on flair response as well.. We too had leak problems with flair mattress first time we used it. did nothing about it for month or two as never had need to use it again. After reading posts regarding others problems, i emailed flair with my problem on a sunday afternoon...

our 2011 rushmore couch has no drawer ?? we have the air mattress bed. What do you have??

thanks all--- i did try a search earlier--must have spelled it wrong. got what i need now.

have a 2011 rushmore with beaufloor. Need to clean floor. No info in heartland folder, nor phone numbers in closet and unable to locate any info on internet. Does anybody have a clue what we need to do??

back again--- hooked up cable through satellite connections per dealer instructions, but no success. Cable company came back out--different guy-- ran different test and determined buried service line was rotting. replaced line and all is well.

thanks for response---no the windows were special ordered as option. I will look at them tonight and see if i can tell.

This may belong elsewhere--- got our new rushmore home this weekend and cable service came out and said power/strength was good coming into the coach, but when checked outlet on rear of trailer, extremely weak. Where is the splitter for cable after UDC??? HELP??

Just got home with new rushmore and have a concern regarding dual pane windows. What model hehr window is used and is there an obvious way to determine if the windows are double pane?? I've seen and been around double pane residential windows and seems relatively easy to see the two panes...

Should be picking up our new Rushmore next week and need to know if the basement is tall enough to facilitate a whole house filter unit that is about 34" in height. Does someone happen to have that measurement?? the unit is only about 14"-16" square at bottom but need to know if there is an...

Will be getting our rushmore end of next week and we've been shopping for a filter system. Went to lowes and saw a whole house system that doesn't require filters and is supposed to last for 500,000 gallons and then throw whole unit away. Costs $300.00. (whirlpool whelj1) Unit stands about...

Thanks for the info----we will be fulltiming but the unit will be at a fixed address in a park. Still working and don't intend retiring/traveling til 2014 or so. Would it void permanent status if unit was pulled to dealer for maintainance and/or 1 or 2 week vacation???

Talked to irs yesterday. Gentleman said the government was not into definition of affixed. Def of affixed was up to local jurisdiction.

Still haven't heard from IRS- the guy i talked to was probably in the building in austin hit by plane???? Did find irs.gov publication that states travel trailers may qualify as principal residence for the tax credit as long as is is "affixed to land". Not sure how "affixed" it must be, but i...

Can' think of correct verbage, but wondered if anyone knows of hadicap toilets for rv use. You know the taller units. If anyone knows of such would appreciate any info and if installed how well do they work. Thanks in advance.

Relative new member here and expecting word anytime on when new rushmore will be ready to pick up. Have a question regarding holding tank dump valves. Have noticed electric dump valves available on SOBs' but haven't seen or heard any such thing from Heartland. Are they availabe as option...

Just got quote back from dealer. Says the 12.25 x 3.75 neverlube axles are available, however he said Heartland told him they were 8,000# axles.

Kevin & Ray Thanks for quick response regarding axles. I'll contact my dealer with this info and see if I can get them added on when I order. I love this forum.

I am getting confused. (nothing new). I have been getting quotes on new rushmore and have had a few quotes offer neverlube axles 12.25 x 3.75. Are these heavier axles than standard?? I asked one dealer and was told they were no longer available, but another said could still get them. I guess...

I read on here somewhere, where a fellow strung a couple of lights in the basement (150 watt) and turned them on for additional heat in basement. Sounded like good idea but think he ran them 24/7 in the cold. I use a plug in adapter ( turns 1 outlet into 3) that has a thermostat built into it...

Seeing lots of hits but no replies. Just wondered if there were any semi/retired cpas or irs gurus with any info or insight, about government and how they might treat a full time residence thats not traditional stick and brick or mobile home?? I know they allow rv as second home for tax...

We are presently finalizing plans to purchase Rushmore. This unit will be our fulltime residence. I am not yet retired but preparing. In the government "first time home buyer" legislation enacted earlier this year, there was a little known "longterm owner incentive". If you lived in a...
