    Planning on placing an order for an Oshkosh, questions.

    We were disapointed with the updates with the 2018. The zero gravity stairs were the one mandatory item that we could not live with. We're not resort types and often are in snow and mud. Not that we seek it out it just happens. We started looking for a 17 or 17.5 Oshkosh, wife prefered the...

    50 amp power cord exposed to elements

    Ours has been out 7 1/2 years that we've had the rig. Don't know about the 6 years before that though the owners were snowbirds for some of those years.

    2018 mid & mid year Landmark Newport changes

    I wonder if the person or persons that decided steps that store in the trailer were a good idea ever camped in a slushy or muddy campground. Must only be resort types. It seems that all the upgrades are the items we didn't want, third AC, theater seating, king bed and now they want $163 to...

    Cell service - Should I stay or should I go?

    I retired and started fulltime in 2010. I've had Cell One which became Cingular which became AT&T since 1993. After reading on forums that Verizon was best for national voice and data coverage decided to migrate our home phone number to Verizon and get a data package and wifi modem. I kept my...

    Planning on placing an order for an Oshkosh, questions.

    Wife fell in love with the SS when we saw it in some model back in the Tampa show in 16. At that time we were just browsing what was new. Recently we were looking at the Big horn model with similar floorplan but as fulltimers the larger carry capasity, a foot shorter and a few other items...

    Dont think I will buy another Heartland Product

    Here I sit a potential Heartland customer and wonder if this is the right way to go. I do find on fourms that the frustration from problems are most often the reason for rants. We're fulltimers so where we purchase will be based on the best deal and not on service from a dealer. I assume...

    Ceiling trim falling off

    Chisel point staples are better than the brads as they spread out while being driven. All the trim in my Hitchhiker is installed with them 14 years never had a piece come loose, unless I was doing some remodeling. Do need a matching color stick to fill the small depression left by the staple...

    We had a electric awning installed to replace our manual. DW wanted it as she couldn't handle putting it out or bringing it in. Had it done at an Escapee rally took one installer 3 hrs to remove old and install the carefree electric. He pulled wire from the front closet for the awning and...

    Poll - Feedback Wanted on Big Windows Vs. Cabinets in The Elite

    We're looking a the BC3560ss to replace our present fulltiming 5er. Like the BC3560 kitchen but could use the storage over the theater sitting for dish ware. Good size pantry but we are often far from grocery stores and often a month before we load up. As far as the window behind the theater...
