I currently own a Glendale Titanium trailer and have not had any major mechanical problems with it since I bought it new three seasons ago. I am looking at a new Heartland Rushmore. I like the quality of the interior and new features the Landmark offers.
On the surface I think these new features would be great to have but I am concerned with the future maintenance problems I may encounter. The Titanium had electric driven landing gear and an individual motor for each slide. How does this compare to the one main hydraulic cylinder and hydraulic lines going to the landing gear and the slides? Will the hydraulic system work well for the long term or just be a very costly system to maintain over time? Will the auto- leveling work for the long term or just be another feature that is troublesome and costly to maintain?
The power cable electric rewind also is a great feature compared to carrying, unwinding and rewinding a 50 amp cable by hand. Does the electric cable winder work for the long term? What happens when it is raining out and you rewind the cable?
Is the automatic ice maker more trouble than it is worth, like winterizing it?
Are there any other mechanical or maintenance problems that I will encounter over time that I did not have with my Titanium?
With the Titanium I had a three year bumper to bumper warranty. With the Landmark I understand it is only one year?
I will be pulling the Landmark with a 2006 F250 diesel
I would greatly appreciate any comments anyone could give concerning these points.
