Bought a 2005 9-months ago (1st 5er) and agree with folks above - it's a solid rig and better in many ways/features than the new ones.

John - Could you be more specific - What/where is this "outside door" with the seal not doing it's job?? Thanks

Confused Now I am confused. There is a rocker on/off black switch at the water heater (inside the exterior access panel) and another on/off switch at the inside control panel. I thought you used the on/off black rocker (exterior panel) if you are on propane and the inside switch if you are...

Thanks Jim - I fell into this pre-owned one without much shopping around. Did know the Heartland brand name. I'll tell you, I love this Landmark. Give me a couple of years and it will be another Landmark - no looking/comparing. Appreciate your continual help.

I have a water pump switch at the bedroom/bath sink location and another in the toilet closet. Unclear why these are in these locations? Especially the bath sink. There is not one at the kitchen sink. I mistakenly hit these every so often and wonder why they are where they are. I would...

On my Landmark - it is behind the fireplace

Can do - but may be a while. Will not be back to RV for a couple of weeks.

I just mounted a 32-inch LCD above the fireplace in my Landmark RV. Actually it was an easy conversion still using the built-in pullout/swivel. Attached 2 right angle braces (study onces) at either side to a piece of 3/4 plywood. Attached an inexpensive non-swivel non- tilt wall mount and...

Remote Conversion This is close to what I want to do. My Landmark has the remote that "talks" to a wall mounted receiver box. I hate it and would like to convert to a wall mounted digital system. Can I expect to find these same wires behind the receiver box and connect a non-remote "simple...

Propane company installed large tank for on-site service today. Spent 3 hours trying to find a leak that they were detecting. It was intermittent and tough for them to pinpoint but finally traced it to the water heater. Again - the valve was showing it was leaking - then not. They capped it...

Thanks - Sounds better than playing with 120 volts - can't believe the manual tels me to do that. Jack

In Dometic winterization instructions, my manual and also an RV repair facility technician told me that I should disconnect the water line to the icemaker at the solenoid valve in the outside frig access panel, then unplug the electric leads to the valve and apply 120V to the valve - FOR NOT...

Icemaker Winterization That's exactly what was done - sheet metal pieces put entirely around the unit and screwed together. Was not aware of cracked boiler being the real culprit. Sidenote is that now in order to winterize the icemake - I will need to remove the front portion of the sheetmetal...

Hats off to Dometic - In fixing up recent purchase, an RV parts dealer had the recall information printed on handouts at the cashiers table. Dealer told me to take one and call him back with the model/serial number. My frig was on the recall list. Dealer called Dometic and called me back...

H3 bulb Thanks Jim etal - Just ordered 2 from the e-bay source. Spent morning at 2 RV parts stores and 2 NAPA stores. RV stores have no clue - NAPA only carries the H3 in 55 and 100 watt types - looks exactly like the burned out bulb. They checked their supplier and 34W is not an option...
