    Solar Power

    We would like to have installed in our new Landmark, after the purchase, a solar system, and were wondering if any of you have had a good experience with a particular system or have any advice on an installer. We can not find anyone in our area so will have to travel. Have considered a generator...

    Mt. Rushmore w/Kitchen Island

    All the info given here is greatly appreciated and a big help in our decision making. I was just poking a little fun at the fact that we'll probably be ordiring a couple of more options than we had originally intended.:) Our theory is that whatever we order is going to be our home, so we want...

    Mt. Rushmore w/Kitchen Island

    Gosh, we're gonna be sure that you folks aren't around when we sign the final order... We'd have an absolutely loaded Landmark and noooo money. Ya'll would have us talked into every option! :) :eek: :)

    R Value Question

    I could not find any info on the 3200R either but all other models listed show Floor R-31, Roof R-23 and Wall R-7 so I would suspect that the 3200R is the same. Don

    Mt. Rushmore w/Kitchen Island

    George, like the kitchen set up is my mostly my choice, the storage area is mostly Don's and he doesn't seem to be interested in the slide tray. I think he's read too many horror stories about the latches not holding and it sliding out in a turn. We'll probably use some large plastic storage...

    Mt. Rushmore w/Kitchen Island

    Thanks to all for your input. Jim, we had remembered that you had written once before that you wanted an extra outlet beside the table and we asked for one also, as well as one on the driver's side in the storage area, and one next to the DC outlet at the entertainment center. On the MR we would...

    Mt. Rushmore w/Kitchen Island

    "We "may" miss the long pantry but the cabinets are so deep, we just put junk in them - no real food pantry stuff." Jim, if I understand you correctly the pantry beside the fridge is not a slide out, but the one next to the entertainment systems is slide out. That's good to know as I would...

    Mt. Rushmore w/Kitchen Island

    Thanks George & Lindsey, "trapped" is the perfect word for how we felt. You didn't mention if there are power outlets on the island though. The dual pane windows and 15,000 BTU heat pump are among our list of options, as this will be a full time unit for us. Thanks again!

    Mt. Rushmore w/Kitchen Island

    We thought we had made our decision to order a Grand Canyon later in the summer, but are now thinking we might like the Mt. Rushmore better. The GC has plenty of storage space in the kitchen, but once we were actually in one we felt a bit crowded or claustrophobic in the kitchen. We are now...

    Mobile Wireless Internet

    Jim, yes it would. In an article about the system (not on Autonet's site) in mentioned that it also can be plugged in to the AC, however the jury was still out as to whether it would come with the AC adapter or the AC adapter would be an accessory. I tried to find a picture of the back of the...

    Mobile Wireless Internet

    Tom, below is a definition of VoIP. Skype is a program that allows you to use VoIP. My brother called me once on Skype (He's a techie too and was just playing with it), it sounded really good for a computer call. It was a clear conversation, good volume, not quite full duplex, but with only a...

    Mobile Wireless Internet

    Tom, right now I believe it works through both Verizon and Sprint/Nextel and Sheri red in her search that they are working on a third format to be added in the future. The coverage now looks pretty good to me. Don

    Terry, I have a white truck with beige interior and had the bed liner color keyed to the interior color and it has been in there for two years now and have been very pleased with it. Just my experience. Don

    6 Volt Batteries Question

    When you hook two 6 volt batteries in series you double the volts giving you 12 volts but the amps remain the same which means you will still have 225 amps of which about half is usable with out doing damage to the batteries. If you pull them below half charge the batteries will not last as...

    Water Filtration System

    Jim, I was just wondering since you have had a few months to use the new filtration system how it is working for you? Are you satisfied with the result and would you knowing what you know now still purchase this system? Don

    Just Looked At Big Horn For 1st Time

    Welcome to the forum Big Horn 06, All the Heartland products look to be excellent values. As for not needing a slider hitch I understand that is because of a patented front cap that Heartland uses but maybe someone with first hand knowledge will post soon. Below is a link from Heartlands web...

    Landmark shenandoah

    Sparkie, my only suggestion would be to check the gross weight of the shenandoah and the weight that your 3/4 ton truck is rated for before making a decision. Don

    Weight Question

    Tom, to really know what you have you will have to weigh the truck without the trailer attached. It needs to be full of fuel and the passengers and equipment that you normally carry. More precise weight would be to have it packed just like it was on the last weighing. Now add the weight of the...

    So do we no longer have a place on the forum where we can ask a factory rep a question?

    Someone tell me it is not so. After all my research and deciding on a Landmark Grand Canyon surely this is just a rumor.

    Mild freeze for full timers

    First off, we're not Heartland owner's yet, our current 5vr isn't even underpinned and we have no heated tanks. In mid October we got caught in an early snow and freeze in Michigan. We woke up the morning we were to leave with two inches of snow and 29 degrees. The only thing frozen was the...

    To Order or Buy off the Lot?

    We understand how floor planning works and that dealers want to sell what they have in stock. However, what we see advertised is never exactly what we want. If we order exactly what we want what kind of deal can we expect. After all, the dealer will not even have the floor planning to worry...
