I noticed when I have looked at new Landmarks, that the one thing that my wife and I found disconcerting was that you have to either walk through the bathroom, or turn sideways, when you walk between the all-in-one bathroom and the bed. One friend ordered the queen sized bed, but they still had...

Quick update. Pain med doc has a plan. Knock off 5mg. of methadone a week, to get off the serious stuff first, and if I have to take an extra oxy for break thru pain, take it. It seems that it will take forever, but I must have patience. Oh well, I got a taste of withdrawal last night, when I...

Hi everyone, Hey Mike, there is always room for you. Drive safely across the country and look forward to seeing you in Buellton. Please email me (my email address is on post #1) your contact info, including your cell, and the dates you want to attend, and we will be all set. ANYONE WHO IS...

Hi folks, Well today makes it 4 weeks to the day from my lumbar spinal fusion surgery. Never thought I would see this day, on July 1, when they splayed me open and cleaned out the mess in my back, and made me the titanium man. I was lucky enough to find a physiatrist ( pain and rehab doc) over...

Hi everyone, I agree with JimBo, Jackson is a great rally, and Art and Teresa are terrific hosts. If I wasn't laid up with my back surgery, this is the rally I would be going to. All the folks coming to the Buellton rally in October please consider going to this one if you want to have a great...

Hi all, I am laid up per the thread larryheadhunter is being operated on , but I would suggest calling Lippert and ask for the VP of Warranty ANDREW VONSCHOINK if you don't have any luck with the regular reps. My original thread about Lippert which was titled something about Lippert not...

Geonkat, good luck with your new rig. I have the 3400RE, and it's a great rig. You can see everything from the bedroom to the back window, without obstruction, and we love ours, so I know you made the right choice. The only difference between ours and yours is that we didn't have a rear...

Hi my HL friends, I just wanted everyone to know my 7 day stretch in a rehab hospital is over after the 7 days in the surgical hospital, and I came home to recover Wednesday. I have a nice hospital bed, and a bone growth stimulator to wear 4 hours a day, and the rehab hospital set me up with a...

After many requests, its time for an update for my wonderful Heartland family and friends from your West Coast mascot.As many of you know, your robo man had a 7-8 hour double lumbar fusion and full spinal decompression, as well as complete nerve release on July 1.. it was long and arduous and I...

All I can say from under my rock is there is always someone with a worse situation than you have, whatever that may be..........

Howdy everyone, I never thought I would consider myself a cult figure, and I still don't, lol, but honestly I am beginning to feel obligated to win this battle of back surgery that I am enthralled in. So many Heartlanders have taken me on as family, and made me feel that they are sharing my...

Hey JohnDar. What's a little titanium between friends? Sounds like a microcosm of what I am about to endure, but all the kind supporting words make me feel just a little bit stronger, so I am heading off to the hospital, guys, Hasta luego as they now say in our country. I knew it was the right...

I am starting to hear the Adams Family music in my head, and the countdown in my house has begun. LOL Only 4 hours and change till blastoff. It's surreal. Cya all later down the yellow brick road...............

I want to thank everyone of you for all your good wishes, phone calls, Emails, PM's and cards, they were awesome and really make me feel good, and ty for brightening up my DW Debbi's outlook as she is scared beyond what anyone should endure. I spent an hour yesterday with the neurosurgeon...

Hey Tommy ever thought of just calling Aaron over at Hensley to send you another lube plate? That's what I did and he sent it for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Thanks to Randy and Mary and all my Heartland friends for all your kind support. Debbi and I have only been RVers for a couple of incredibly great years, but after 20,000 miles, numerous rallies, and loads of new friends, we are sold on the lifestyle, and hope upon my recovery to resume our...

I have had the Pressure Pro system in my storage area for about 2 years Pat. Maybe when we get to Buellton this October you can help the non-techie install the system. It took me two years to get Goodyear 614's with the rigid metal stems on the tires. So please Pat and Mike don't go anywhere...

I won't be traveling until Buellton in October, but I have towed for 21,000 miles since Feb 2008, mostly forward, lol, and I am with JimBo, that I always leave at least one of the propane tanks open to keep the fridge cold. In fact, everyone I have spoken to on the subject does that to preserve...

Re: EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: CA, Buellton - 10/15/2010 to 10/17/2010 Thanks for the vote of support PJ and Karol, it is a 6 hour surgery, and kind of scary, loaded with pedicles and other titanium rods, but I will be OK. PJ, I am not too sure what you consider the Northlands but from...

What is this level up system called? Does it have a name? LOL

This system of leveling looks great for leveling up and down, but does it also level side-by side? They didn't talk about that aspect on the video.

Re: EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: CA, Buellton - 10/15/2010 to 10/17/2010 Hi everyone, Well, at this point in time, we have 20 rigs signed up for the Buellton So Cal Rally and expect to double that amount. As most of you know, I will be having lumbar fusion surgery July 1 at Hoag Hospital in...

Hi Ross and Linda, We have lots of room in Buellton at Flying Flags RV Resort one block from Solvang in the middle of October. Come and join us. Just go the portal page and scroll down to the bottom right and click the link on any rally you wish to join.

So if you have a great picture on your desktop, but it is too large: ie 3 megabytes, how do you bring down the pixels in order to adhere to the maximum size?

G614's as most have suggested. Withstood suspension breaking, and frame riding on rear tires, but they did get a little sticky! LOL

While you at it, you might want to get one of those spinning cyclone at Camping World that swirls around and sucks out any foul odors. Worked for me. Never smell tank odors again! Even a gentle breeze rotates the Cyclone 360° to follow the wind. It creates a powerful vortex that pulls...

Hi everyone, Randy Scianna, owner of See Grins RV in San Martin, CA, just south of San Jose, is an unreal guy. God threw away the key when he made this man. Listen to this, he never sold me my Big Horn, but we met at my Nov 2009 So Cal Rally in Buellton, CA, where he was a sponsoring dealer...

Hi all, I read in my Heartland Owners Manual ala Feb 2008 that said distinctly 65 lbs PSI was the maximum water pressure Heartland would guarantee. That is pretty clear to me. A couple of notes: HL Customer svc rep told me that there was no maximum PSI and not to worry, but luckily I read the...

Hi everyone, This thread is 3 years old, but I have a Dometic Fridge model 2862 and can't seem to get the fridge to stay at 43 degrees or lower, usually 45. My freezer is perfecto. I have tried the following already. I opened the freezer and at the inside top is an on/off button and I made...

So are shocks necessary to soften the ride with the Center Point Suspension? If so, the shock mountings would have to be lifted so there would more of an up and down dampening affect vs. the almost horizontal positioning when built. Ironic that when my rear springs broke, the shocks were...

I received my Hensley 1/8" PTFE disk free with my new hitch. Question: Should I clean off all the grease surrounding the king pin before I install the disk? That would mean no grease on the capture plate nor the underside of the king pin. Surprises me that it slides on so easily for you Tom...

I know all of us Vietnam Vets really appreciate the praise. As the history books show our kids and grandchildren, many of the Vietnam Veterans came home to fruit and veggies thrown at them and being called baby killers. That really hurt bad. I am happy to say that over the last 10-15 years...

Hi Yianni, You might take a look at Paso Robles if it's not too far north for you and you like wine, as it's called Wine Country RV Resort. Also you can check out Flying Flags RV Resort in Buellton, 45 minutes north of SB, one block from Solvang a Danish tourist town, and the location of the...

Tommy Two Tone, My birthday is today, how did you know? LOL You mean I have to wait till Feb. 19th? UGH! Long time..............

Tom, your pics were invalid. I spoke to Aaron at Hensley and he told me that since I already have the air compressor hooked to the TS3, it was overkill to get the automatic sensor, and just set the air bags at the white line when I hook up. The gauge in my cab adjusts the air bags on the run...

Ok gang, I have the Mor/Ryde Pin Box, but also have a brand new Hensley Trailersaver 2 air bag TS3 hitch, SAWEET! I definitely think that the Mor/Ryde Pin Box is OK, but not great. If I bought the 5th Airborne Pin Box, I would have air bags for both the hitch and the pin box. Is that...

I should add to my original post that since Lippert didn't recommend shocks, they installed the "poor mans" solution of CP suspension without them. I also have a Mor/Ryde Pin Cushion. Since I have a new Hensley TS3 air bag hitch, I seem good to go. As many of us have bad backs I am looking for...

Hi, Just a little note here. I just had the Center Point Suspension installed by a Lippert technician, and just last week he fixed an air leak in one of the connections to the air bags. He told me Lippert does not recommend shocks to be installed with this system, even though the Trail Air...

I strongly suggest that anyone who is trying to deal with Lippert Warranty and has received no satisfaction should only speak to one person. His name is Andrew VonSchoink and he is the VP of Warranty. I will not publicly put out his email address out of personal privacy respect but email or...

The click, click, click you hear, and the landing gear stops moving usually tells you when you have reached the highest it will go. I wouldn't keep pressing the button, once you reached that spot, as many of the previous posters said, you might not like the results.
