Expert Answers about Heartland RV Mallard Travel Trailer


  • Recommended Tankless Water Heater
  • I prefer the Excel RV Tankless Water Heater, # EX93FR. It has electronic ignition that requires no standing pilot and the power to ignite the electronic spark module comes from two D-sized batteries not your camper's electric system. This is a vent free design that puts out 38,000 Btu. Per the manufacturer this has to be installed upright with the vent facing upwards and, in a location, where you have decent air turnover. It is not designed as a direct replacement for any specific unit...

  • Determining The Correct Replacement Brake Assemblies For A 2021 Heartland Mallard M27
  • There unfortunately isn't a guide that lists the parts used on your trailer so you'll need to do a bit of investigating to see what you currently have so that we can determine the correct replacement. The first thing I like to check is the axle capacity; there should be a tag somewhere on your axle that lists the capacity. From there I'll jack up one side of the trailer and remove the wheel and hub to get a look at the brake assembly. There will typically be stickers inside the brake assembly...

  • How Often Should Trailer Tires Be Replaced?
  • Your friends are pretty close. We suggest replacing tires every 3-6 years or every 10K-12K miles, which ever comes first. Most trailer tires do not get replaced due to mileage and instead age. If you are using tire guards to protect the tires from UV rays while being stored or storing the tire in a garage it will take a bit longer for dry rot to affect the tire. As soon as you start seeing dry rot you should go ahead and plan on replacing the tire. On the other hand if you do not cover...

  • Recommended Hitch And Wiring Harness To Triple Tow A Boat Trailer Behind A Travel Trailer
  • To find the right hitch for your 2020 Heartland RV Mallard M260 travel trailer you'll need to measure the distance between the frame beams to find the frame width. The Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703 you were looking at will fit a frame width of 22" to 72", so it will most likely be a compatible fit. As for the wiring, we don't have a 7-way flat connector so I'd be curious to know what was installed on your trailer. A work around for this would be to splice...

  • How to Change Radio Stations with Furrion RV Stereo DV3300
  • To change the radio station on your Furrion RV Stereo DV3300 you just need to press the arrow buttons to tune the radio frequency. You can also hold down the button to find the next strongest station, as you can see by the cut out of the manual I attached. You can do this with the included remote control, or with the Furrion Unismart Universal Remote Control # FR34FR if you have multiple Furrion systems and only want to use single remote.

  • Measuring to Pick Out Replacement Gas Strut for Solera Awning
  • While I don't know exactly what awning gas strut replacement you'd need I can easily help you figure it out as long as the awning you have is a Solera brand awning. You will need to measure your struts when extended and retracted and we'll be able to know what you need. The part # LC260282 measures 24.38" when extended and 14.70" when retracted and the part # LC280343 measures 26.46" when extended and 15.04" when retracted.

  • Replacement Regulator For An Older Fairview GR-950 Regulator On A 2005 Coleman Fleetwood Cobalt
  • I spoke with Gas-Flo who made the GR-950 regulators, and they informed me that the GR-9950 is the modern replacement for your GR-950 regulator, as that regulator has been discontinued for some time now. With that being said, the GR-9950 replacement you're needing is the: -Horizontal Low Pressure 2-Stage RV LP Gas Regulator # 37207-30385. This is a 2-stage regulator that has a 225,000 Btu/hr heating capacity, and features a 1/4" FPT inlet x 3/8" FPT outlet for connecting your hoses.

  • What Tire Width Range Does Trailer Tire Size 205/75-15 Fit
  • The trailer tire size you mentioned of 205/75-15 fits the rim width range of 5 to 6-1/2 inches. I don't have a way to look up what your wheels are plus there's likelihood that they have been replaced so best answer I can give is that they are most likely 5-6-1/2 inches in width.

  • How To Send Brake And Turn Signals Through A Travel Trailer To A Boat Trailer
  • You would need to wire in a 4-pole connector like # 18004 into the tail lights of your 2020 Heartland Mallard M260 travel trailer to send the signal from the travel trailer to the boat trailer. This will require some additional additional wiring # 16-4B-1 and some heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-10 for a watertight connection. Once this is complete you can plug in the 4-pole connector from your boat trailer into your travel trailer.

The controlled motion feature keeps the door opened at any position for different applications. Attached is a review video for you to check out. If you have a different design please let me know and I can see if something else will work. Hinges are a bit more universal so there aren't exact replacements for different travel...

  • Can a 15x5 Wheel Size Interchange with a 15x6 Wheel Size on a 1995 Mallard Travel Trailer
  • A 15x6 inch size wheel is normally interchangeable with a 15x5 size wheel. The 6 inch and 5 inch measurement being the width of the wheel. A tire will normally fit on a range of wheel widths. Where you want to pay attention to the different widths of the wheel is when you are looking at a different tire size. In 15 inch trailer tires the common sizes are the ST205/75R15 and the ST225/75R15. They usually recommend to put the narrower 205mm width tire on the 5 inch wide wheel and the wider...

  • What is Gained by Going to Larger Trailer Tire Size
  • Going with a larger tire size basically just give you a higher weight capacity to work with. There's a bit less rolling resistance and in theory bumps won't feel quite a big but for the size differences you are considering you really won't notice much except for a slight change in height (probably won't notice it actually) and a higher weight capacity which you may not even need. To go to a larger size you need to make sure you have the needed clearance to do so. You'll want to make sure...

  • Will the Furrion Vision S Backup Camera System Work On a 2016 Heartland Prowler
  • The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System part # FOS05TASF is an excellent option and it will absolutely work on a 2016 Heartland Prowler. If the trailer is prepped for a back-up camera then it will have a camera mounting bracket pre-installed at the top of the trailer and that makes installation plug-n-play. However, if the trailer is not prepped for a back-up camera you can still install the above system with just a bit more work. I can't recommend you replace the running...

  • Universal RV Ladder that Can Attach to 2020 Heartland Mallare M-26
  • We have universal RV ladders like with the # SP501L which would work great on your 2020 Heartland Mallare M-26. There should be a portion of your roof that is reinforced for a ladder like this but as long as you attach it to a stud in the roof that would be fine.

  • Door Latch Replacement On A 2018 Heartland RV Mallard Travel Trailer
  • The Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch with Keyed Alike Option - Black - 1-1/2" Thick Item # 295-000015 was designed to fit a cutout of 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". If this matches the cutout in your door it will work. Looking through Global Link's catalog I wasn't able to find any that latches that matched your 0293454 latch which means they most likely discontinued it and pulled any info on their site about it so your best option is to replace the door latch based on the cutout dimensions.

  • Are Replacement Legs For The Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack Available
  • Lippert unfortunately doesn't offer replacement legs for the Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack - 30" Lift # LC337199 and considers the integrity of the jack compromised, with the only solution being to completely replace the unit. Instead of replacing it with the same stabilizer that can't handle an actual load I recommend switching to the Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Electric Stabilizer with Dual Motors # UF39-941705, which can be used as a stabilizer or leveling jack. This jack has...
