Joy Add JD and Ethelene Munson to your list!

Yes, the hose and cut off is to winterize with out puting antifreeze in the fresh water tank. On my MPG 183, the pump had a vibration, you might try tightening the screws to the floor. My pump had a some foam between the wall and the pump which came out causing the viberation. Replaced that...

I have an infrared quartz heater also(Eden pure type) Has thermostat, two levels quite fan, does a great job, Used in 15 degree weather and the furnace never kicked on.

Another tread with information. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/23940-Anyone-install-an-awning-on-their-MPG/page2

I had a MPG 183 that I put the D range tires on. The rims on the trailer were Vision Legend 5 -141 gunmetal machined lip. I contacted Treadit, they also indicated to me that the rims were rated to 65lbs. Had no problems and pulled the trailer about 3000 miles with that setup...

I have some lung problems and most of the time campfires don't cause me problems, if so I just go away from the the smoke. But what really turns me over is when people burn their trash in the fire, lots of bad stuff there. Have to get far away from the trash burners!

Add Ethelene and I to the list, we'll arrive on 25 Sept and depart on 30 Sept. Looking forward to Christmas.

It is my understanding that the MPG has 205/75/15 Load range C, the trailer has a 3500 lb axle and the GVWR is 3800 Lbs, 3500 lbs on axle, 300 lbs hitch weight. The load range C at 50 PSI is rated at 1820 lbs per tire or 3640 combined, single axle trailer. The load range D, 205/75/15 tires at...

I had a MPG 183(2011) which had the 5 spoke, 5 lug, Vision Legend 5, gun metal machined lip 15" rims, I checked all the sources Heartland, Treadit(supplier to Heartland, and did not get a defined answer, so off to the tire store, got the range D tires and had no problem with the tire pressure...

I have a senior Pass, works just like the other Federal passes, cost $10 for life, after age 62. 50% of federal park, great deal! JD

This is the one I use, http://www.amazon.com/iBall-Wireless-Trailer-Hitch-Camera/dp/B0035WSQEC

The pressure relief valve let air in so tghe tak drains.

I weighed the Wilderness 1950RB and the 2009 GMC Serria crew 4x4. Full water and propane and TV with full gas. Steering 3100 Drive 3700 tandem axle 4900 Total 11700 lbs With two 3500 lb axles it will be hard to over load the trailer. The GVW for the Wilderness is...

On my MPG 183, I opened the low points drains, then on the outside of the water heater, I opened the pressure relief valve, it drained the water heater. Did the same on my wilderness also. I pulled the plug to double check the first time, tank was empty.

Duh, what happened! I forgot already! LOL

Now I know why you are senior members! Nothing like that ever happens around our house. A coupe of years ago the wife , myself and daughter were crossing the border in the north, this was like trip number 10, with almost the same crew but always with wife and myself. The custom agent ask...

If it is up north be sure to winterize it.

We have some great Corp parks in Missouri. If in the Branson area I would go to the Mill Creek, on Table Rock Lake. They are typical but this one has some pull throughs and can handle big rigs. http://www.recreation.gov/unifSearchResults.do?topTabIndex=Search JD

I would look for some full hub caps, Had some on a sob and looked great, also you won't have to find a lug wrench that fits inside the lug holes. I vote for hub caps. JD

I saw a thread some where , the owner of a 183 Modified a portion under the lower bunk with a door inside under the bottom bunk. This would allow entry from the outside or from the inside. A sorta indoor builtin kennel or cage. JD

Also find the water heater and turn the by pass the water heater, pull the plug on the water heater, make sure its is cooled down. One other point blow out the black tank flush line, some times there is enough water to mess up the antisiphon valve. I needed an extension for the pump line. it...

The biggesty problem is wind, fire and theft. most have signs posted the the effect that they are not liable. Maybe extended coverage of some sort!

David I did a little research, not much just a little and evidently most insurance will not cover a trailer on consignment.

How about a new insurance company?

If you are a member of Sam's Club, I would contact them and see if they might intervene, especially since you are being deployed shortly. Good luck. JD

For $8 or $10 you can get yoour trailer weighted at a truck scale. They will give you the weight on the trailer axle, the front and rear axles of the tow vehicle. Sometime the results are suprising. Remeber the axle is a 3500 lbs axle, with a max of 3800 lbs for the trailer.. That is the...

David has been an HOC member for two years. There were 2 MPG's at our MO rally in 2011. His and mine . There was one MPG at our MO 2012 rally. You will have to come to the flat lands sometime!

I will look into the Smart Light. I was thinking solar of some sort to avoid the wiring. Just finished redirecting the cable for the satallite dish. Got it going.

Why is the porch light behind the front door? ?. Whenyou open the door it blocks the light. I have A Widerness 1950 RB.

David has the same hitch set up that I have. They were set up by the dealer and appear to be in line with the instructions on the web. The MPG is an easy trailer to miss load. You can get more weight in her that it's built for. and esspecially in the rear making a lower that the 10% normal...

You can find some of the picture in my gallery. //heartlandowners.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=55282

Here is a Wiki on the valve. //heartlandowners.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Black_Tank_Flusher It lists the manufacturer.

I have a new Wilderness 1950RB with 30 amp to a 55 amp service panel converter, I have been tripping the the breaker at the pedestal. I think I have answered the question. The AC (12-16 amps), electric water heater(9-13 amps), converter(1-8 amps), and Refrig(5-8 amps) were all running, well...

Count me in the new WILDERNESS owners group HOC #1720. My rig is a Wilderness 1950RB. Picked it up on 27 Aug 2012. Stayed in it that night. Ready to go for a long weekend, Leaving friday back monday. Breaking it in before the Missouri rally starting 21 September with Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn...

Made our reservations today. When do you want to be paid for the Riverboat, dinner for two please. Happy fence painting and tall tales! JD

Just a passing thought, during shipment, did the haulers boom the traile down by the bumper or frame? A boomer with a cheater bar can bend a lot of things. I son't know how the trailers are transported to the dealers. I had a passenger tire blow also, but thought it was junk on the highway. My...

No just the axle weight. I think I was over loading the trailer, carring to much fresh water in the tank. along with other stuff in the rear compartments. I also believe that the equalizer hitch transferred some of the hitch weight to the trailer axle, adding more weight to the axle. The load...

I looked at the tires of my MPG 183 like about a month ago and also found the drivers side tire worn on the in side. My thoughts were trailer over loaded. Scaled the trailer loaded and it it scaled out at 3580 lbs, now a 3500 lb axle has more than it should carry. One the side(driver's) that...

I have a 2011 MPG 183, had about 4000 miles and blew one out. I am going to 205/75/15/load range D (8ply). had the trailer weighted and the axle weight was 3,320 lbs close to the axle limit(3500). Keep the tires inflated to the max 50psi, load limit goes down as psi goes down.
