    EVENT: Heartland Owners Camp-Out: MI, Boyne City - 5/11/2016 to 5/15/2016

    Well I finished up my work stuff and was able to head out earlier and my site #16 was available so I could set up and not have to move. I got here today around 5 PM and I'm settled in. The Sanitation station is not open and you cannot fill you fresh water tank or rise your black water when you...

    Inverter Transfer Switch Operation

    Thanks for the post on this. I was looking for and answer to a different problem and this post answered it. I too have a 2015 Landmark with the residential refrigerator. When I picked up the unit the service tech taught me that to run the fridge I had to make sure the DC switch to the battery...

    Backing into a site...

    Great job! I think both the wife and I need the class. If nothing else it would be cheaper than marriage counseling needed when we try something like that now.

    EVENT: Heartland Owners Camp-Out: MI, Boyne City - 5/11/2016 to 5/15/2016

    Ok, after checking the AT&T and Verizon service maps, it seems to have 3G service but not 4G, which is survivable. If that does not work McDonald's is 3.9 miles away..... SO...... I'm all in. I booked site 16 from May 6th through May 15th. I'm excited to do my first Heartland outing and meet...

    EVENT: Heartland Owners Camp-Out: MI, Boyne City - 5/11/2016 to 5/15/2016

    Thanks for the response and welcome. I checked both AT&T's and Verizon coverage maps. The both show coverage in 3G but not 4G. The same as Ludington. I suspect Young is better as the loop we were at in Ludington was down in a valley. There is always McDonnals 3.9 miles away.�&#57172...

    EVENT: Heartland Owners Camp-Out: MI, Boyne City - 5/11/2016 to 5/15/2016

    Hello TGLBWH, (forgive me I don't know what that stands for), we are new to the Heartland Rally/Camp Out events and hope to get involved this year. Last spring we upgraded our 23’ Sunline to a new 2015 Landmark 365 Newport and spent summer doing odd weeks and weekends here and there just trying...

    Hydraulic issue... pump cutting out?

    I replaced my 50 amp with another 50 and it fixed the problem for about 3 months. I started doing it again and I decided to go with a 60 amp. 60's won't fit on the bus, as others have said, so I'll have to make up a jumper to go from the bus to the new breaker. Interestingly, I looked at the...

    What batteries are these? No name

    You may want to look at golf cart batteries. They are 6 volts each so they would be wired in series to get 12 volts. One problem with two 12 volt batteries in parallel is, unless the internal impedance is identical, one battery will supply more current than the other. Over time the imbalance...

    2015 Landmark Newport - Cargo Bay Project - Part 1

    Thanks to all for the kudos! Part 2 is the rear wall..... The LED's are very small. I was planing on mounting them to the top of the barrier (walls) on both the front and rear walls (4 lights instead of two). The original dome lights do get in the way and I think these will not be in the way...

    2015 Landmark Newport - Cargo Bay Project - Part 1

    This project idea was born when I had to remove the front cargo bay wall section to access a black tank sprayer line. When the wall was removed I found there was some additional floor space that could be captured if the wall was modified. I also didn't like the fact the wall was screwed into the...

    Not-so-stressed out Newbie Auto Level Question

    I had a similar thing happening and it turned out to be a bad breaker. I had new batteries and my voltage was very good. The breaker for that system is a bi-metal device that resets about 5 seconds after it trips. I replaced my breaker with the same amperage as the original and....problem...

    Cargo Bay Wall Material

    I have a 2015 LM365 Newport and am considering doing modifications to the cargo bay walls. I've searched the Internet looking for the material that is glued to the wood walls and cannot find a match. It is very similar to speaker carpet material that is used to cover wooden automotive type...

    Hydraulic issue... pump cutting out?

    I have a 2016 LM365 Newport doing the same thing. I can hear the breaker tripping and clicking when it resets. I haven't checked the ampere rating of the breaker but I'll bet Heartland or their unit suppliers are still using the same 50amp breaker. Thanks to all who posted. I now know what to go...

    Add a Washer/Dryer Combo to a order?

    Just a quick follow up to ths topic. I made my change order in time for the factory install. The dealer was very fair and sold the option at the same discount rate that the other options cost pre-order. I picked up my trailer June 22nd, packed it up, and started camping on June 26th. We...

    We are looking at the Landmark Newport as our retirement rig but worried about bad reviews on Heartland!

    My son has a 2005 Big Horn and had a lot of problems; bad axles, bad frame welds, tires etc. Heartland factory responded exceptionally well with every issue. Because of how well they treated my son is the reason I did not even look at another manufacture. I have a Landmark 365 Newport on order...

    Add a Washer/Dryer Combo to a order?

    Thanks to everyone for your comments. I contacted my dealer and was able to do a change order. The factory is going to install a stackable pair. Here's the units they are currently using at the factory. Looks like nice units. Washer - Splendide - 120V/60Hz - White - ARXL126WSPNA Dryer - 120V...

    Yea, that is a good point on the warranty stuff. Thanks

    Add a Washer/Dryer Combo to a order?

    Thanks for the quick reply. You are right in that cutting the vent hole is the tricky/hardest part. Paint is not an issue for me as I went with the standard graphics package and did not get the full body paint. Thanks again.

    Add a Washer/Dryer Combo to a order?

    1st post, great forum! I have a Landmark 365 on order and it is due to be built on 6/15/15 or so. I had planned on adding the washer/dryer in after we took delivery but, I am having second thoughts. I have read a lot of the post here and read the Splendide installation instructions (good...
