    LP generator and 3rd A.C. unit

    I am curious as to how much propane the generators use per hour and how electricity they generate. Also with a 50 amp service if you have the 3rd A.C. unit what else can you run in the trailer? Seems like you would be at a risk of overload if you were cooking or running a coffee pot. Am I...

    Moving 5th wheels with slides out

    I was hoping to get a response from Heartland on this also as they monitor this site. A Landmark is a great 5ver and is at the top of our price point. I worry about buying a unit that has been sitting on a lot if this is as common as it seems. Many times I see units on lots sitting without all...

    Considering a Landmark 5ver

    Chippendale, Thanks for the post we have always felt that camping people are the best. While we haven't been campers in a while we can't wait to get "On The Road Again" to quote Willie . We have always met the nicest people while camping. Hopefully we will run into some time down the road. Land...

    Moving 5th wheels with slides out

    Dave, I guess I was just thinking that with the size of some of the main slides today tha t there is considerable weight hanging outside of the frame of the trailer. Thought it might not be real good on the operating mechanism of the slides, especially going over humps and bumps in an unpaved...

    Moving 5th wheels with slides out

    I have been looking at upper end 5th wheels for a year or so now and have been at afew dealers where I have watched them moving for sale units with all the slides extended. I find this quite alarming. Is this standard practice, I certainly would hope not. It makes me think twice about purchasing...

    Considering a Landmark 5ver

    Wow Frank, that is good to know I have seen other good posts about this dealer. The more we think about it the more we are leaning towards doing just what you did. You might pay a little more for an ordered unit but at least you will have it the way you want it. I have always been looking for...

    Considering a Landmark 5ver

    Frank, It is our plan to go to the Tampa show in January if we haven't bought an rv by then. I have heard it is a massive show and that you can get a pretty good deal by placing a order at the show. This is an adventure that both my wife Sue and I can't wait to begin. The more we think about it...

    Considering a Landmark 5ver

    Eric , Thanks for the info. My whole goal is to buy my last rv first, ditto for the hitch. did a little looking online and I have to say I was surprised at the price. But even with a 1 ton dually in the plans I know these rigs are at its limits. One thing I don't want to have happen is to find...

    Considering a Landmark 5ver

    Thanks Jim, We do not have a Landmark dealer near us so I think we will be going to Knoxville once they get the units in that their website says they have on order. I'm not against buying a used trailer but it seems from what I see online that in 2016 landmark went to the 8000# axels. That seems...

    Considering a Landmark 5ver

    We are getting ready to retire in about a year. We have been looking a trailers for awhile now and I believe we have it narrowed down to 3 brands, Landmark, Traditions, and Redwood. All are full time units and well constructed. I am really impressed with Landmarks 8000# axels and 17.5 H rated...
