I thought I'd pass this along. Palm Creek Resort at $15/night is a pretty incredible deal. Only thru Dec 31. https://www.sunoutdoors.com/specials/intro-special?cadence=email2&utm_notes=palm-creek-daily-rates&j=9133894&sfmc_sub=689202424&l=152742_HTML&u=175811688&mid=520002985&jb=7

Hi everyone, After 11 1/2 years, we sold our 2011 Landmark and our 2014 RAM 3500 this morning. We're not getting another RV - our RV'ing days have come to an end. And with that, after nearly 10 years as a Forum Moderator, it's time for me to retire from that as well. We're looking into...

We're selling our 2011 Landmark and would invite your consideration. As most of you already know, this is the top-of-the-line model from Heartland. We ordered it with every possible option except the "desk chair". Since then, we have upgraded and added many more features. This RV is rigged...

Many of us have experienced popping noises from the Lippert Landing Jacks, particularly when there are big temperature swings. While the Lippert recommended fix is to add anti-stiction fluid, I'm wondering whether SnapPads help with that problem.

Hi all, just want to remind everyone that if your refrigerator has an ice maker or water dispenser, and is located in a slide, the water feed line is typically routed under the slide. It is exposed to outside air and if the outside temperate dips below freezing, the water in the tubing is...

If you're turning on the furnace and it doesn't work, here are a few things to check. Make sure you're using the correct thermostat to get heat. You may have 2 or 3 thermostats but only one of them operates the furnace. If the blower doesn't push air right away, check for a blown fuse. Check...

People sometimes ask about replacement thermostats that have WiFi and/or Bluetooth connectivity, with a phone app to allow the thermostat to be controlled from anywhere. I ran into this one from MicroAir.net. They claim it replaces most of the thermostats commonly found in our RVs. It's a...

News this morning is talking about 100 MPH winds last night over quite a large area of the midwest. Hope everyone is ok and awnings were retracted.

This sounds like pretty good news.

I was surprised to learn yesterday that not all PEX tubing is the same. There are several types, each manufactured differently, giving each type different characteristics. Here's a spec on PEX-b that describes compatibility of various fittings, with PEX-b. Everhot 1/2" PEX Tubing is PEX-B...

Just saw this article about a new offering - an RV Toll Pass that is claimed to work on 97% of toll roads in the U.S., and getting electronic discount toll pricing. This is what they say are the advantages: What are the advantages? Tolls captured electronically are typically lower than the...

Just finished replacing the leaking front doorside landing jack on our Lippert 4 Point Levelup. When our Landmark was built in 2H 2010, 4 Point was all there was - no 6 Point. Instead of the rearmost jacks, the 4 Point includes stabilizers at the back. Replacing the jack is pretty...

We installed an RVLock 4.0 five and 1/2 years ago and love it. This year it started acting up. RVLock tech support suggested a couple of new circuit boards ($9.99 each). Today, it's all better. You can read details here. Great support!

In late 2014, I replaced the slide topper fabric on all 3 slides. 4 Colorado winters of snow and ice did them in. Got the new fabric from ToughTopAwnings.com . 4-1/2 years later, the fabric is pulled away from the bead on the doorside slide. Called them this afternoon and they are shipping...

Pulled into a campground this afternoon and as usual, plugged the EMS into the pedestal and the power cord into the EMS. Turned on the breaker. 4 minutes later, no power inside. The display on the EMS showed an E3 error: L1 High Voltage. L1 was showing 208V and L2 121V. The EMS would...

When's the last time you checked the Emergency Breakaway Switch? That's the one that energizes your trailer brakes if the trailer were to separate from the tow vehicle. There's a ripcord (wire) from the pinbox that you attach to your tow vehicle when hooking up. Mine was last tested almost 3...

If your gas absorption refrigerator is in a slide out, as many are, the water feed line to the ice maker is routed under the slide out floor. It's exposed to outside air and will freeze as soon as temps drop below freezing. Even if you're a full-timer located in Florida or Texas, if temps...

Replaced our Progressive Dynamics PD9280A power converter today. I've been carrying a battery charger since the 1st week we owned the coach and have had several occasions to use it, most recently during the Pueblo Rally with temps around 100. The thermostat needs 12V DC if you want to run the...

After 10 days in Pueblo with temps near 100 (F), it was a refreshing change to have an overnight low of 36 (F) in Breckenridge. Unfortunately, I left a couple of windows open overnight and the furnace didn't kick on, so it was pretty cold in the coach this morning. The fuse for the furnace was...
