    tri-pod support for the king pin??

    I use the block and shim method and it works fairly well but I still get some shimmy when someone with heavy feet walks around in the living room or the washing machine get a little out of balance. I have never used the tripod under the pin box. I was told it was a waste of time and money but...

    We finally did it!

    Congrats We have been full timing for over a 1-1/2 years now and we absolutely love it. It's almost like being on vacation year round. Good luck,

    A second bedroom in an Augusta XL

    I priced a DoubleTree with two bedrooms and the lowest price I could get was $111,800. It's still tempting but not that tempting. I've heard they are the best camper on the market today. That was a quote by a RVIA certified repairman.

    Comments / Feedback on Cyclone 3950

    HT, How does your Duramax/Allison pull the Cyclone? I have the '05 GMC 2WD, 4 door Duramax/Allison. I'm thinking of trading my 09' Landmark for the Cyclone so I can pick up a bedroom for my son. How does the air conditioner work in the garage area? This will wind up being his room should I...

    Propane Usage

    Something I find odd is that my Heartland has twin 40 pounders and the Cyclone has 30's. Seems like the Cyclone would have twin 40's also. In the cold of the Tennessee winter, my Landmark used one 40 pound bottle of propane every 8 days and that was supplimented with a small ceramic heater plus...

    Sofa Bed - Leak in Mattress caused by rough metal frame

    Flair - Never More I stand by my claim that Flair is nothing but junk. Elaine at Flair told me that she couldn't supply the bent bolts because Heartland bent them. The problem was the welded nuts broke. I finally got her to send them to me but not the longer screws that would make the arms not...

    Thank you Heartland for Choosing Flair

    You must be talking about a different Flair that what is in my camper. The Flair sofa that I have is junk. Have you seen the sofabed that is made by Flex Steel? So much better quality than Flair. thanks, Rat

    Basement Door Lifts

    Kenny, My doors have no metal that I can tell. They are particle board or something cheap like that. I think I will try the gorilla glue first and if that don't work I'll try the wood glue once again. Thanks to all of you for your help. Rat

    A second bedroom in an Augusta XL

    I agree on the 2 bedroom.. I was told by the factory there was NOWAY they would custom build a two bedroom Landmark. As a matter of fact, the Landmark became my second choice. Unfortunately my first choice went bankrupt so I was left with the Landmark and one bedroom. Sure wish the factory had...

    Basement Door Lifts

    OK, I have another complaint. The lifts for the basement doors keep coming detached from the doors. The screws keep reaming out and will not keep them attached. I guess the cheap composite of the doors is not strong enough to keep them from stripping out. I tried refilling the original screw...

    Flair Furniture - Junk

    The Flair sofa that is in my Landmark really stinks and I'm not talking about smell. I have already had to rebuild it and Flair reluctantly sent out the parts or at least some of them. I was told by Flair that the factory screwed up the sofa so they should have to repair it. I sincerely hope...

    BC 2950 rk with a 09duramax 3500

    Hey, I have a 2005 Dually, duramax and I'm getting about 16 1/2 MPG driving locally to and from work which is about 8 miles away. I've not gotten on the road with the dually as of yet. Just pulling the Landmark around the campground (changing sites) I'm glad I opted for the dually. I feel more...
