    Big Campground In the Sky

    Well, after 5 years of owning our 2011 Landmark Grand Canyon it has finally gone to that great big campground in the sky. Two severe hail storms in the Colorado Springs area did alomost $43K damage so our insurance company deemed it a total loss. I hated to see it end this way because we really...

    No black water flush

    Several of us had this same problem and it turned out to be a severe kink in the line between the flush connection and the black water tank. It's worth looking into.....might be the cause of your problem too.

    What to do with my Cyclone for the next 2 years?

    I left my 2011 Grand Canyon behind for 2 1/2 years in outside storage (1200 miles away). When we picked it up in April it just needed a good cleaning and some minor maintenance but everything worked just fine. The biggest expenditure I had was replacing the battery. From my experience I wouldn't...

    New owner with noisy refrigerator

    I'm going out on a limb here and say hearing your fridge from two sites away is NOT normal. I would try to assess exactly where the noise is coming from and troubleshoot it from there. It sounds like the dealer doesn't want to help find the cause and may only be interested if and/or when it...

    If I have seen it once - I’ve seen it a hundred times…..

    If I have seen it once - I’ve seen it a hundred times….. This is why pull-thru sites were invented. If I can't reserve a pull-thru at a campground I will keep driving till I find one available.....I would rather lose sleep than decipher my wife's attempt at directing me into a back-up site!

    When 5th wheel is in storage.

    I had this same concern when I left my fifth wheel in storage for 2 1/2 years over 1200 miles away. Believe it or not, the hydraulic jack legs looked almost brand new when I picked it up and they received ZERO lubrication. I think the corrosion thing is way over rated. I did have to sand some...

    When 5th wheel is in storage.

    In the past I always parked my RVs on 2x12 boards thinking it would make a difference. However, I recently went to pick up my Landmark that had been stored on a gravel storage lot where it wasn't parked on the boards and the tires looked good as new even after not moving for 30 months. Based on...

    It's been a while!

    Sorry to hear that.......I lived in Sebring (Sun 'N Lake) back in '91-'92. I guess some things never change!

    Back in the game, FINALLY!

    After 2 1/2 years we finally made it back to TN to pick up our fifth wheel from the storage lot. Considering it has been sitting outside the entire time without anyone checking on it I was surprised how well it weathered the storm. After a good washing and some basic maintenance it looks almost...

    Anderson Ultimate Fifth Wheel Hitch

    I bought my hitch in July 2015 so I assume it is the version 1 and I assume the dimensions are the same, but not sure. Maybe someone else who knows will chime in with the answer or you can call the factory at (800) 635-6106 and get the facts straight from them.

    Anderson Ultimate Fifth Wheel Hitch

    Yes, when I put my Andersen hitch in the bed of my truck to see if the front & rear pucks would be impacted by the frame base they were not. I didn't take measurements, but the front of the base frame was about 5 inches behind the front pucks and the rear of the base frame was just in front of...

    Anderson Ultimate Fifth Wheel Hitch

    I had to think about it for a few minutes, but now see you are right......the spacing of the pucks (front & rear) in relation to the center gooseneck puck would have to be the same on all RAM trucks regardless of what cab/bed length combo you have. I guess the base frame of my Ultimate Fifth...
