    Drivers licenses Ontario Canada

    I have a 'G' license. I can drive a truck and trailer with a combined weight of about 22,000 lbs and the towed trailer can weigh 4900kg or about 10,000 lbs axle weights. They can build trucks that tow 22000 lbs and so on but it becomes pretty cumbersome to hold an 'A' license after 65 years of...

    Bought the wrong floorplan!

    We bought a new 29mk last August. I have a back problem. The bed height has become quite an issue. I have a problem that most older guys have in that I get up a few times each night. Wondering what my options are. I have thought of trading for a different floor plan but I would probably lose a...

    Heartland Titanium

    We owned a 2005 Titanium for 4 years traded on a Greystone this summer. Bedroom setup was OK when we first owned it but I developed a hip/back problem couple that with getting up 2 or 3 times a night we had to get rid of it. Very well built. Expensive. Titanium got a good thing when they...

    Automatic or independent levelling jacks

    Appreciate the information. The options that I saw here cost more than I want to pay. I will look for independent jacks that can be accomplished by adding another motor and control to the existing jacks. I would then have a control for each jack. Anyone familiar with something like this...

    Automatic or independent levelling jacks

    My previous 5th wheel had independent electric jacks on the front (motor and control for each jack). The rear had manual jacks. I miss the individual feature on the new greystone. Has anybody in here done a conversion to individual controls for each corner? I would be interested in doing...

    Winterizing a Greystone

    I winterized mine about 2 weeks ago. I am 70 years and usually do my own maintenance on various 5th wheels & trailers that I have owned. I had a hard time getting to the "access" and had to squirm in from curb side. Will also make it bigger. I did not use the fresh water tank at all. Drain was...

    Need Recommendation for Table Between Recliners

    We bought a "trunk" that is about 22'X22"X22". The cover is hinged with nice hinges and the color fit the greystone. We needed a litter box for the cat so I made an opening in one side and the tray lifts out the top. Turn the 'table' 45 Deg and the opening is hidden. Dual purpose. Works for us. Al

    Accessing Converter on Greystone

    No I don't have a problem. My last 5th wheel had a PD9100 converter with an added Charge Wizard. I owned it for 5 years with no battery problem and was thinking of installing a wizard on this one. I will modify the access to this. Thanks...Al

    Accessing Converter on Greystone

    I can see a vent grate in the storage compartment underneath the 5th wheel on our 29mk. I assume the converter is inside there. The panel that the grate is attached to does not appear to be removal friendly. Anybody have experience with this? Thanks...Al

    My introduction to Heartland Greystone

    I purchased the new Greystone about 6 weeks ago. We traded our old 5th wheel for a much better layout. As we were leaving the dealer with the new 5th wheel I found that we had no brakes. Mechanics checked and found that 1 axle wires had not been connected and the other axle was so far out of...

    Drivers side slide problem?

    I haven't had a chance to check this further. It is in a storage area about 15 miles away. What is odd is that only about 2-3 feet is bent up off the floor. The rest lays perfectly flat on the floor.(all observations are when slide is retracted) The explanation that this happens so that the...

    Thor Industries buys controlling interest in Heartland RVs, LLC

    I think that we should wait and see. Certainly express our concerns as people are now doing. Report things good or bad as they happen. Thor does not want bad publicity. This forum can greatly help owners. Who knows? Maybe things will actually get better.
