water

Hey Guys, a question regarding the water heater? I noticed there is a little brown box taped on the back of the water heater with electrical wires running into it. The tape is barely holding it on, i could re-tape it so its more secure but what is it? thanks... Tommy

Well... We just got back from a week vacation in our 09-3385 B/H, and yes it was a great time.... Until the dreaded LEAK. When we 1st got it last year we took it out for the 1st time and I found the storage Basement had a bunch of water from a leak on the by-pass valve. I got it fixed and...

I can't seem to get all the water out of my lines. I have tried leaving all the lines open when I fill. I got the pump to shut off once, but when I got to the campsite and turned the pump and water on I had all kinds of air again in my lines and my pump wouldn't shut off. I don't want my pump...

I am a new owner of a 21FBS and did not have a "walk through" on the unit when I bought it (bought it in Michigan and had it delivered to Texas), anyway I have been learning about the trailer by asking questions and reading various forums such as this one. I have a question concerning the...

New BC 3250TS and the water pressure coming out of the shower is pitiful. I took the showerhead off and checked for junk in it and rinsed it but didn't accomplish anything. I seem to remember a topic here about this and now I can't find it. I did notice there is a white "washer" in the hose end...

Just picked up our BC 3250TS over the weekend and we have a serious problem with the shower. At first I thought it was just a crappy water faucet but after day two I don't know. You turn the water on and set the temp and without touching the handles the water temp changes from cold to hot to...

We just bought our long awaited 2010 Augusta. We love it as we get acquainted with this new lifestyle. But, what's up with the plastic tasting water from the refrigerator water dispenser?

we are going to a park with no power for the first time ..i'm trying to lit the hot water with gas ..it will not lite ..i turn on the switch and nothing happens ..I have a 3670 Bighorn.. do i still have to turn on the heater switch in the trailer if i have no power..thank you Ron:mad:

We picked up our new 2010 Augusta the first week in April, spent two days at the Elkhart Campground, did the factory tour in reverse, then came home to Iowa. After a week, I decided I needed to fill the fresh water tank to check the sensors and try out the pump a little more as we had city...

Greetings, We picked up our new Big Country 3250 TS Sat. and have been looking for the fresh water and the other holding tanks. I have found a drain underneath beside the spare tire. Is this the fresh water tank drain or the low point drain for winterizing? Also would love to know where the...

Where in the underbelly is the freshwater tank located? I want to fix my venting problem so I can get a faster fill, but don't want to remove the whole underbelly doing it.

Hi there, We have a 2010 model 3850 with the W/D in the bedroom closet. Quite often we get a bad sewer or gray water smell in the camper that appears to come from the W/D unit. Does anyone know if there is supposed to be a pee-trap in this plumbing? Or can we put a valve of some sort in the...

Ok.This is not a question concerning a Heartland product,but I am a Heartland owner and I do have a question.We don't dry camp and have only used our water pump a couple times to pump from our fresh water tank so I don't know alot about the pump. Our son owns a pop up camper and this past...

Does anyone have a breakdown on the 10 gallon Suburban water heater. I think I have a bad element, but don't know where the element is.

For those who are having problems with their water heaters, here's one more thing to check. The electronics module on the back of the heater. It's stuck onto the insulation around the tank with an adhesive pad, which may or may not actually adhere. If it shakes loose, the plug can come out of...

We think we need a water softener system and wonder what others are using. We currently have a three-filter water system but because of water spotting/scaling; we think we should also add a water softener device. Notice people in the Elkhart Campground using them and we are beginning to see...

We are in a state park in Colorado and need to use our fresh water tank, 2/3 full at the moment. All valves are turned correctly for fresh water use but when turning on the pump water comes out of the city water connection. As a temp fix I put a plug in the city water connection to get flow...

Anyone willing to share thoughts on the ABC's of how they go about chlorinating/disinfecting the fresh water tank? The frequency it should be done? :confused: Don't know how often it should be done but it seems to me it should be as simple as adding some clorox, filling to overflow and...

We just encountered our first problem with our 2900MK and have just returned home. We did not have internet access while camping. We encountered some heavy rain and thunderstorms enroute to our camping trip, estimate about 2 hours of travel in and out of rain showers. When we set up at...

We took the Bighorn in to get a leaky faucet fixed. Now we are on a cross country trip and we don't have any hot water in the kitchen. Hot water in the bathroom and shower, but not in the kitchen. Can anyone give us an easy fix, because we are in the middle of Arizona now.

We had a water leak, with water coming into the kitchen under the refer. We have a 09 BH 3400RL w/10 Q Ft. refer. The problem was behind the refer with access from the outside door, I found the water line to the ice maker was touching the burner shield and melted a small pin hole in the line...

We do not camp between May and November but use the FW as an extra bedroom. Then the black tank is hooked up to the septic system but we have no need for hot water. Do we drain (it is already turned off) the hot water heater and PUT it in BYPASS? thanks Pat

Helpppp. :confused:Please. I am looking at the owners book and the water heater. I see the pressure release lever above with the drain plate beneath it, however I can't tell where the drain plug is. It states, "drain plug located in the bottom left hand corner, remove plug. I can't tell by...

We have a new 3055 and would like to know if we should do anything in particular before we use it for the first time. Also if we are going to leave water in it for an extended time, should we add a little chlorine?

Ok I am confused. I am picking up a new 2008 31 RED on Monday. How does the water heater work. Gas or Electric, or both. Thanks

Hey, just started with our 3670 and really enjoying everything. I do have a question about water heater operation. When we picked up our rig I thought the tech said the heater will go auto from electric to gas and vice versa?? However if that is the case what is the 'heater switch' for on my...

:DThis is not a Heartland RV bash just a reminder to all as this could happen to anyone and any brand.:D Well as you will read below no electric hot water. After researching the situation Friday evening after work I found that the 120 Volt leads from the inverter to the water heater had no...

"Update Please Read" No Elec. Hot Water "Not Panicing" This is not a Heartland RV bash just a reminder to all as this could happen to anyone and any brand. Well as you will read below no electric hot water. After researching the situation Friday evening after work I found that the 120 Volt...

I hope I posted this in the correct section, if not, moderators please move. Thanks. During the recent wet weather, our slide has been in the extended position. Yesterday we found water on the floor, under the dinette seat towards the trailer front. Upon investigation, I found a joint, that when...

I need help locating the bypass valves for the hot water heater, on a 2006 3600RL bighorn, I hooked up the water today no problem with cold water no water going into hot water heater, thanks for any help

We went on a short trip to Penn. this week, so the Landmark got left on a storage lot in Colorado, and with the sub-freezing temps expected we had to winterize it. I flipped both bypass levers and pulled the drain for the HWH. As I was running around inside turning on faucets, my father was...

Does the factory pressure test all the water lines in the trailers before selling them? Also I know for sure they do not water/leak test the exterior of the coach before they sell them. Check out my other post in the general forum. This is the last Heartland trailer me or any of my family and...

I just got back from our first trip this year and while camping found that I only had luke warm water (and not much) while using the electric portion of the water heater. I had both electric switches on and will check the element tomorrow. My rig was a year old in Jan. and I used it a lot during...

I have purchased an 09 Cyclone 3912 and love it. I am new to 5th wheel camping and just figuring things out. I have been using the small water pressure regulator supplied with my city water hookup, but find the pressure is a little low. If I install a different adjusible pressure regulator what...

Last night was our first sleep in our new trailer. The mattress is very good, and we slept very well. The kids (ours plus his friend) slept on the hide-a-bed and also said they were very comfortable. :) We're noticing that our water tastes very "plastic-y". Coffee and hot chocolate also taste...

We have a 2005 Landmark Grand Canyon. It is equipped with Power Tank Drain for the fresh water tank and Power Winterization e/w lengthy hose for access to RV antifreeze containers. I have never found a fresh water tank drain valve on this unit and have used RV antifreeze to ensure the fresh...

We have begun to see a water leak after using the shower. The water appears just above the "docking station" and always just after one of us has used the shower it drips into the basement storage. I can't seem to find where the water is coming from. I have checked the area around the drain in...

Anybody heard the trend of place a continuous water heater in-line for the times when high volume water is needed? Dealer recomendation. It would have a seperate switch. The draw back is while it is on every bit of water is hot.

While camping in 10 degree weather, my fresh water hose between the tank and the pump froze. After looking I think the fresh water hose is resting on the metal frame. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the best cure?:confused:

Well, we have had our Sundance for about a month. Not spent one night in it or taken on one trip. Been at dealer for almost two weeks where they have worked hard to stop leak in shower around the caulking,fresh water tank not filling and leak in basement.(water leak in basement fixed & water...
