Pre-rally at your own pace.
If you've never been, it is arguably the premiere air museum in the country outside of the Smithsonian. The AF Museum is enormous and aviation buffs can spend several days roaming the hangars without getting enough of the story boards. However, most folks can...
You beat me to the forum! We'll be sporting an upgraded TV...just dropped off at Utility BodyWerks in Elkhart, IN for a new hauler bed. Get it back next week. Bed in progress attached.
Don't forget that you'll have a picture frame adapter if you're still mounting the Curt into the factory puck system. I have my TS3 mounted on top of the picture frame in the attached image. As you can see from the photos, the hardware for the kingpin mount were striking my tonneau cover...
I'm not sure about the Landmark365, but I know my Landmark Savannah has an electrical/fire hazard caused by operating the slide and design of the bed frame. The portion of the frame that sits on/near the floor on the lower portion of the slide is scraping the electrical connections for the...
X2 with Bones. Problem sounds like you might have a bad relay or blown fuse in the 12V Battery Power hot line on the vehicle. New trailer, so I doubt you'd notice if the "hot" 12V charge line wasn't providing power to the trailer battery.
When the vehicle key is off, power is supplied through...
The proposed revision by HUD was just submitted as an open action on 9 Feb 16.
This issue is deeper than a cheap piece of paper on the counter during sale. Including language about standards to build is fine. Maybe we get a better product, but I've never seen where a gov't regulation...
If you full-time in a non-self propelled RV (fifth wheel or TT), you might want to comment at www.regulations.gov. Search for HUD-2016-0013-0001 to access the language of the proposed and to submit your comments.
Language includes new build standard NFPA 1192-15, Standard for Recreational...
Re: Removing Refridgerator
Thanks. Figure it's easy enough to replace the line from the fridge to the frame, but I was leery about busting into the bottom of the rig trying to figure out how to replace the line from the frame to the under sink valve connection. I've seen several posts about...
I have a 20K PullRite. Most of the MX is just spraying moving parts under the saddle with lubricant. I used silicone spray on mine to lube the springs and catch mechanism. The one major piece is the rocker bolt located on the cross beam under the saddle that holds the assembly together. You...
Re: Removing Refridgerator
I'm also looking to replace the refrigerator water line and am curious who else has already done this mod. Looking to see if I should change out the line from the fridge to the 3-way valve on the frame under the slide or replace the line all the way from the...
I'd much prefer to be overly curious is better than ignorant on the matter Jim. Bridgestone has a good summary of the topic here. The max pressure at 70F while tire is "cold" is misleading. The tire needs to be at the same pressure (let's say 80psi) if it's 70 or 32 outside. What's really...
X2, but I also have the MorRyde pin box on my Landmark. I had previously ran a PullRite ISR Pro Series hitch. Solid setup, but more chucking than I wanted. Added the BD3 and life is good. Chucking is always going to happen, but I can barely notice it now. BD3 dampened vertical loads and...
I'd posted comment on a problem I was encountering with cabinets earlier this year here.
Now I want to pass my appreciation to HL Warranty Service Department for the collaboration and approval for labor hours to repair the drawers. I called the department to pass along my thanks as well, and...
I used the aerosol can for application. They do sell gallon size for use with a paint gun or a brush. Don't be alarmed by the look when you first apply; it will level out and dry clear.
There will be some dripping when you apply, but wind is the bigger problem. I had overspray to the face...
For those folks who are seeing some minor surface rust or have paint flaking off of the frame, strongly recommend use of Fluid Film. I just applied the product to my 2015 Landmark and am very happy with the results. I used five cans of Fluid Film to cover all I-beam frame components, not the...
Thanks for the recommendation, but it's not available for a my 2014 Ram 3500. Other problem I have to deal with is the Honda 3000 goes in the bed and it sits higher than the rails, so I need access to the front third when hitched up. I'm keeping my eyes on ATC SXT truck to see if their fully...
Here are post install photos showing all clearances. I later added a 2" lift extension from Hensley to improve hitch saddle height. Bed clearance is now 8.5". No answer on finding a hard top tonneau because kingpin @ 31" barely clears inside of bed rails, so there's no space for tonneau...
I have the adjustable pressure regulator attached to the hose inside the UDC. Another user mentioned having one on inlet and one on outlet side of filters to see pressure drop and make determination on when to change the filters.
Best of luck on the build and look forward to seeing the photos.
First time I opened the filter canister after I'd charged the system it was a mess. Lots of water spilled out despite how careful I tried to be. That's when I decided to change the plumbing around slightly so I could blow out the filter system without running air through the remainder of the...
Here' a link to older thread with photos of filtration setup in my Landmark Savannah. https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/51348-Water-Filtration-System?highlight=
Hyperlink isn't playing nice right now. See below for image.

I contacted Aaron from Hensley and he's sending me the 2" spacers to add on the hitch. That will help get the saddle up to 19" for now.
I'm also going to pull the Peragon cover off of the truck to do some additional checks of the kingpin and frame ears in the upcoming week or two. I believe...
I did make a call to Lippert yesterday to chat. Trailer is in the shop right now, but I need to pull the frame number before we can get into the meat of the problem. If trimming the ears is the answer, I'm going to have to figure out how to get the rig to someone who will do the modification...
Running into a similar issue on Ram 3500 long bed, Hensley TS3, and MORRyde RPB72-1621HD pin box combo. Any others with images or recommendations for a fix are appreciated. Really don't want to call Lippert and ask about cutting the ears to give clearance. That's a Band Aid on a sucking chest...
Received the new hitch on Thursday and had time to fully inspect the setup over the weekend. The company has not added any additional grease fittings on the swing arm pivot joint. There are still only two grease fittings on that assembly. I did go through and add more grease to the swing arm...
Glad I took the time to mention the new TS3. Hadn't ever seen the thread from porthole on all the mods he'd completed; thank you for posting the experience. I also didn't catch the unhappy face in the signature link until OEFVET posted. Good to know what Duane has experienced and I'll...
I'll take a look and post when I see the hardware. Current owner's manual only had the two grease fittings you mentioned. Was there talk about adding more or a prominent issue that requires additional grease application?
Making the jump up to a Hensley TS3 with in-cab controller installed. Pick it up from the freight dock this afternoon. Guess I know what my weekend project will be while it's raining in Dayton. Figure air hitch + air suspension on the TV is going to = really nice ride with minimal road shock...
I believe so, yes. Using an additive like Howes is an insurance measure, especially during winter months. I even use it over the summer because of the additional lubrication for fuel system components and the cleanliness of the burn. I do wish I had an EGT on the truck to see what the temp...
I worked as a fuel laboratory technician in the military for 12 years. I was working as a lab tech when Low-Sulfur-Diesel (LSD) first appeared on the highways in the early 90's. I was called out many times that first winter to pull fuel samples from tractors that had stopped running on WY, CO...
I'm with you on using more pressure than what's required. I run my Landmark at 120psi which is well above what actual weight dictates for individual tires according to the chart. Helps with better mileage and keeps cooler temps during the haul along with better overall tire wear.
The Goodyear 17.5" tires have a range of 90-125 psi according to the Goodyear service chart. Max pressure of 125psi covers 4,806lb. on single and 4,540lb. on a double tire setup. Need to pick up your rig and get a good weight to determine individual wheel weight to set the optimal pressure.
Stability of the DRW is a big plus. My Landmark's max is 16,700 and I decided to go with a Ram 3500 CC/long-bed/DRW/3.73. Haven't hit a situation yet where I felt like the truck or trailer was getting out of shape or that I had to fight to keep it in my lane. The other major benefit is the...
Wow...I have a 2015 Savannah and the first anode still looks reasonable after 1.5-seasons of use; we picked it up late in the 2014 camping season. I'll change the anode rod out this winter regardless. One thing I do to conserve the hot water system is turn off the water heater when we know it...
I thought it was Anal Tunnel Syndrome. Besides, don't any of you believe in natural selection anymore? And agreed...hope it's not his wife or kids that gets hurt when the self-critiquing life event happens as the trailer slips from the jacks.
I currently have a Porte Cable pancake and I'm upgrading to the Dewalt shortly. PC kicks on at 110psi and the Dewalt will come on at 130psi. Important fact since the tires require 120psi, so I have to manually bleed the PC when filling trailer tires right now.
Re: ATF: Landmark - Suspension Lubrication
Equalizer has a zerk fitting to grease, but bolts are standard with no zerk fitting. Guess I'll have to contact Dexter Axle to purchase the wet bolts and install if I want to have the ease of greasing annually without pulling the bolts. Believe I'd...
Understand and exactly why I'm asking the question. I also feel not protecting the exposed components is going to cause issues. I'm going to be applying Fluid Film to the exposed frame pieces and am interested if that application would also suffice on the tracks for the slides. Otherwise...
Been looking at both the Heartland and Landmark owner's manuals for Slide Out maintenance and there's not much available. I would like to know what brand of slide out is used in the dining and kitchen areas that uses the rack and pinion type setup. I believe both are hydraulic Lippert...
Re: ATF: Landmark - Suspension Lubrication
Thanks Brian. That helps tremendously. At least I know what to look for on the suspension now. I have a feeling the "wet bolt" kit is not installed on my tandem axle setup. I'll interrogate the connection on the equalizer when I stop by the barn...
