Update: still waiting to hear back from Heartland. Meanwhile, I talked with Jonna and Rod at Affinity RV Group - both super nice folks. Based on the photos, Rod thinks it's frame flex that they can probably fix just by dropping the FRP under the overhang...but of course they won't know for sure...

I just talked to Dianne Williams at Heartland Customer Service. I'm sending her the photos and she's going to have their service department look at them to see what they think. Should hear back from her tomorrow.

Dave, do you happen to know the name of that repair shop? We will be up in northern Indiana in just a couple of weeks. I'd like to contact them to see if I can get an appointment. Thanks!

What is the “dreaded frame flex”? It doesn’t sound good. [emoji53] If that’s what it is, is it repairable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It seems that the floor of the upper deck of our 2013 Landmark San Antonio is slowly falling out of the trailer. Viewed from the outside, the fiberglass covering the underside of the overhang is gradually being pushed away from the sidewalls. On the curb (door) side, it has pushed the edge trim...

The electrically-operated bedroom slide on our 2013 Landmark does not have a wiper seal on the bottom. You can see right into the gap between the slide and the body, up to the interior seal. The other three slides (all hydraulic) all have bottom wiper seals. Shouldn’t there be one on the...

Circling back on this. I replaced the hydac valve for the kitchen slide, and that stopped the leak of hydraulic fluid in the generator compartment. I don't know if it was just one or more bad o-rings on the valve that caused the leak--that seems to be the most likely explanation since I can't...

Thanks Dan. That's where I'm confused. On my system, the control valve for the landing gear is on the driver's side landing gear itself--it's not even on the manifold with the slide-out valves. (The two valves for the left and right mid/rear jacks ARE on the manifold though.) So I'm wondering if...

A few days ago, the front landing gear on our 2013 Landmark began to sink. They dropped 7 inches from level overnight. The rear and middle jacks extended as the front dropped, so all six of the Lippert Level-Up pads were on the ground. I found a small puddle of hydraulic fluid in the front...

To close the loop on this thread: back in August when the problem first occurred, it mysteriously went away, and the blower was operating normally. We didn't use the furnace much after that though, until the weather turned colder. It then happened again in November. This time, after slowing...

Thanks for the shout-out! I'm glad the instructions were helpful. David

I took the outside cover off the furnace. It's an SF-42Q. No blockages seen in the exterior intake or exhaust (which are covered by mud dauber screens anyway). The return air grilles are clear. I did some Googling and couldn't find anyone describing similar symptoms (blower motor runs for a...

Thanks Dan. The interior returns are clear, and nothing blocking the ducts at least that I can see. I'll check the exterior ports. Thanks Bill. Totally agree. We do use our electric fireplace/space heater whenever we're connected to shore power, but sometimes it's not quite enough when it's...

The furnace blower on our 2013 Landmark (built in 2012) runs for 10-15 minutes (during which the furnace produces heat), but I can hear it gradually slowing down, and the volume of warm air from the vents decreases. Eventually the blower stops completely, even though the temperature at the...
