    Height with 2nd AC Unit

    Thanks for your reply. I am wondering if we should see how bad we really need the 2nd AC. I just thought from reading the posts on this forum that we would probably need a second AC. Did you find that you needed the 2nd AC in 90+ temperatures? Gee.....6 to 8 inches of clearance under...

    Height with 2nd AC Unit

    We have a Grand Canyon. What is the height of the trailer with the 2nd AC unit installed over the bedroom. Will there be height issues, or will the trailer still be under the legal height?. Could someone with a 2nd AC unit give advice? We are concerned that we will need the 2nd unit when...

    New 05's ...any disadvantage to buying one?

    We also have a 2005 Grand Canyon. I will agree wih Denny and Rosa that I like the design of the 2005 better than the 2006. The appliance garage cabinet fits flush with the other cupboards and does not set out as the 2006 does. I also like that the TV in the livingroom is higher instead of...

    Electric Heat Strip

    That sounds like a lot of LP. Does your coach have the thermopane windows or the regular single pane glass?

    Geocaching

    The rally should be GREAT fun. We can hardly wait. It should be fun to hear about others experience. I can imagine that people might wonder what you are doing. I like your idea of the clip board to make yourself look "official". ;)

    Surge Protectors Yes or No

    The dealer installed a Surge Guard - model # 40240. It protects against surges and also if the power drops which can also damage appliances. There is also a bypass offered along with a delay. Here is the website http://www.surgeguard.com/

    Surge Protectors Yes or No

    We had a surge protector added inside our unit by the dealer when we purchased it. As was stated earlier, the cost of the protector will be worth the headache of replacing electrical appliances.

    At what pressure do you run your "Truck" tires ???

    Thanks everybody for your help..... We run our DRW when pulling at 65 rear and the front at 60. The truck door post states 65 as max. This is what the Dodge dealer suggested. I think we will try the weighing as stated above to see what that would suggest.

    Heartland Forum Poll!

    We find the forum VERY informative. It is a quick way to get and answer to questions we have about our Landmark. I also enjoy the "Ask the Factory" where Scott answers our questions. Keep up the good work, Jim.

    Manual fresh water tank drain valve

    Thanks everybody for your help. Our trailer was made last April 2005, so it must have been made before the manual drain became standard. We drained all water we could get out by running the pump and then we poured about a gallon of antifreeze directly into the fresh water tank so I think...

    Where is the manual fresh water drain ????

    Hi Scott, We have a 2005 Grand Canyon. I read in this forum that the Grand Canyon has a manual fresh water drain, besides the power drain. I find nothing mentioned in my owners manual of a "manual drain". Are they speaking of the one valve that is in a vertical position when power pumping...

    Manual fresh water tank drain valve

    We have a Grand Canyon 2005 also. We never found a manual drain on our coach. Where did you find it? We did pour about a gallon of antifreeze into the fresh water tank thru the tank fill opening. Please tell us where the bottom manual drain is ??

    Towing Issues (chucking etc.)

    We have pulled with a short box SRW and a long box DRW. With the short box we experienced much more jerking than a long box. Are you pulling with a short box truck?

    3600RL-Ram 3500 DRW Real Experience ??

    We have a 2005 Dodge 3500 diesel- 4.10 RE - 6 speed -Jake Brake. DRW. It handles the Grand Canyon very nice. Before the DRW, we had a 2004 Dodge SRW. The DRW provides MUCH MORE STABILITY. After pulling with the DRW, we would never go back to the SRW for a heavy trailer. We found when...

    Suggestions for Improvement

    You are correct about the hitch issue. You must watch very close when turning tight especially if your truck and trailer are not on the same level. The end of our hitch made a tiny scratch on the inside bed rail, but I saw what was happening and stopped just in the nick of time. It would be...

    Exhaust brakes

    We have the DRW Dodge with 6 speed and Jake Brake. The Jake Brake was put on by the Dodge dealership when we bought the new truck and did not void the warranty. In mountains or big hills I would Not BE WITHOUT IT. It makes driving a pleasure.

    2006 Heartland Rally Planning

    The rally sounds like fun and the Elkhart Fairground looks like a nice place to have it. Probably the June date would be better than August because August in Indiana can be very hot.

    Drain Hose Question

    The power drain hose on the Grand Canyon is located to your left when facing the UDC, which would be to the front of the wheels. The 2 hoses in question are behind the wheels. I suppose they are some sort of "overflow" type drainage hose. We would just like to know what they are for so we don't...

    Drain Hose Question

    We have a 2005 Grand Canyon. There are 2 small drain hoses coming from the underbelly located in the area behind the wheels on the drivers side of the trailer. We have checked our Users Manual and can't find what the hoses are suppose to drain. The last time we raised the front of the trailer...

    Refrigerator Vent Question

    Our refrigerator is located in the slide-out part of our Landmark. We noticed some wasp flying at the top vent, so we removed to put some spray at the opening to keep them out. When opening the UPPER VENT, there is white fiberglass insulation in front of the vent opening. I wonder if this...
