This may sound silly, but if you can disconnect the vent hose or butt another hose to the vent opening and blow through it you would be able to test it without any danger to rupturing the tank. Larry

My Landmark has a set of 4 valves that are set to specific water situations, e.g., tank water, city water, etc. Do you have those valves and are they set for city water intake?

I posted a photo of my UltraLube experience at //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?t=3387. When you pump grease into the fitting it goes through the axle and exits out a couple of holes near the rear bearing. If the rear seal is working properly, the grease will be held in the axle area and...

Since putting 19.5" wheels on my TV, the original spare was quite a bit smaller in diameter than the new tires. The Trail America tires are much closer to the diameter of the new tires. I decided to purchase a used 16" wheel for the TV and mounted the unused TA spare. I will use it as my TV...

The 614's seem to be the tire of choice for the heavier units with G rated wheels and 7,000 lb. axles. The price is high at $350 each and is most likely more tire capacity than you need on your unit.

I may be wrong but I think that the main idea is the attitude and purpose for the posting. There is a lot of help on this forum and a respectable request for information or the sharing of a problem that would be of interest and helpful for owners is welcome.

Forrest, I can see a great advantage of having a system to level, stabilize and give safe emergency jacking all in one package. Please let us know if you ever follow through with the idea.

How solid is this under the wheels? Does the trailer move more while moving about inside with flexible springs, tires and air bags supporting the weight on the one side? Although I have stabilizer jacks in the rear, they don't prevent the trailer from some movement as the springs & tires are...

The elongated holes in the shackles is a common problem found on trailers. It is easier to prevent the problem on suspensions that have grease fittings on the shackle bolts. The shackle bolts usually have a knurled collar so they do not move or twist in the shackle straps. The bolts are...

There might be some solids in the tank under the toilet drain pipe that are not dispersing with normal flushing. The tank does not have to be very full for it to cause burping if the solids have accumulated in the tank under the pipe opening. The vent pipe is not close enough to the problem to...

ct0218, Thanks for the advice. I wouldn't want an RV owner to experience the same uncertainty with these tires. We have a local minimerchant paper that prints ads of many categories including tires.

Since I posted on another thread I will comment briefly here that I decided to replace the TA tires with the GY 614's. We leave Monday for a short trip and that will be one less issue to be concerned about.

Rather than take the risk to have my trailer beat up by TA tires I just purchased 5 Goodyear 614RST tires. They cost me $227.00 each (including mounting) plus tax at a local Goodyear dealer. They came down in price from $247 to match a local discount dealer. The new tires are slightly smaller in...

I added grease to the Ultralube hubs last year (2006) before the rally to make sure they were ready for a long trip. Since I had only pulled the trailer 500 miles or so, I didn't think it was necessary to do a complete inspection. We traveled about 6,000 miles since then. Last week I removed...

Bummer, My TA's say DOT 1N0R 1605.

I have about 7,000 miles on my TA tires and these posts really make me wonder if they should be replaced before coming to the E Coast rally. Three of the four tires show signs of rubbing on the sidewalls. The off door (left) side tires have rubbed against the MorRyde plate between the shocks but...

Jim, Lippert has owners manuals on line for the jacks and slideouts. www.lci1.com/service_owners_manuals.html They mention contamination or dirt on the legs as a potential problem and also three other possibilities. 1. Hose damaged or unconnected. Solution: Replace hose or reconnect hose. 2...

We completed our reservation for the East Coast Rally. We will be in site #44 arriving on Thursday, 10/4 and leaving Tuesday, 10/09. We are looking forward to seeing everyone. Larry & Marilyn

svd, Check out the following thread. It's in the Landmark Plumbing section regarding roof scematic. www.heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?t=1184&highlight=roof+vents

Chopper, I think the problem is solids accumulating in the relatively flat tank just under the toilet drain that aren't touched by the factory installed flusher. You need to get fluids up under the toilet to flush that area and move it out the drain. It is possible to use a hose and an...

I had a local RV dealer add a second connector to the left bed wall in front of the wheel housing. When I picked up my new Landmark (300 miles away in IN) the brakes seemed to work properly in the lot but, when I drove away, every time I touched the brake pedal I got full braking power that...

Sorry for your inconvenience in my home territory! There is an RV dealer that sold Landmarks in Hartville, OH which is south of you on SR43. Their number is 330-877-3500. Avalon RV on SR18 just west of Akron is a BigHorn dealer. Their number is 800-860-7728. There is a Camping World on I-71 at...

My impression was Landmark was to continue as a premier luxury unit but with some design changes to make it more compatible with the assembly techniques used to make the BigHorn. Since the BigHorn and the Landmark are assembled on the same line and one in twelve units is a Landmark, similar...

Steve, Thanks for your post. I would say too that you are fortunate not to have the front r/h wheel give you trouble. It's good that you took the time to do the service work and not let it go longer. Was the final bolt on the front r/h backing plate still tight? Did you find any loose bolts &...

I'm not sure if the vendors and business people who contributed to the rally read these posts, but I want to give a public word of thanks in this post rally discussion for their generous and informative participation in our 2007 rally. All the vendors that were on the schedule for Friday gave...

Forrest, Thanks for your reply. There was a short discussion of how a person would jack up the axle of the flat tire if it was too low to position a jack underneath. I didn't take any notes of that discussion. Is there anyone who can give suggestions for a situation like that? Larry

Forrest, I agree with your comments and I did not add my own opinion to the posting because I wanted to report what was said at the session. I think the technician did state a mileage figure or once per year but I couldn't remember if it was 6,000 or 12,000 miles. I have jacked up my own axles...

The session was performed by a Lippert technician on a Bighorn with a standard axle. Here are some highlights that I can comment on briefly. Jacking. Place the trailer on a level surface. Don't try to lift the entire side of the trailer by jacking one wheel or by driving one wheel on a ramp...

After I had completely drained all the holding tanks and stored all the hoses following the 2007 Goshen Rally, my DW informed me that there was still water in the toilet and it wouldn't drain out. Having two other smaller TT's before, I was under the impression that the tank was under the...

I was looking for the same vent information for my Shenandoah and decided to map the vents by sending water down from the roof and watching which waste valve was releasing the water. Here is a description of what I discovered. The single vent in front of the bathroom power roof fan lid on the...

tstammer, According to our latest jacking demonstration at the rally, place the jack under the frame behind the rear most spring shackle and lift. Use blocks under the jack so it can extend to the height needed to lift both wheels off the ground.

There are a number of inquiries on the forum regarding jacking correctly and servicing bearings and brakes. I am happy to inform members that Lippert technicians will be leading an outdoor session during the rally, using a display unit, to demonstrate how to properly jack a unit, remove a...

To Janet & Don, We will bring a salad for Wednesday night and a dessert for Thursday. Larry & Marilyn Herris

Would someone offer to show a few photos of the extra bracing? I'm getting a small amount of sidewall rub when I turn sharply as the tire rubs against the square drive shaft of the slideout. Does this modification prevent any side to side flex?

We would like to sell the ultra leather recliner chair that came in our Landmark. It's the light colored chair and is in excellent condition. Does anyone know what a fair price would be for the chair? We will bring it to the rally if anyone is interested.

I spoke with Stacey (Weigh-It) tonight and he is planning to be at the Fairgrounds on 5/28. He will be there to weigh the rigs as people arrive. As Jim stated, the preferred time to do the initial weighing is with the trailer attached upon arriving at the fairgrounds. The truck will be weighed...

cto218 & jjak17 The wheels and tires I ordered are from Rickson Truck. I ordered the wheels last August and I received notice they were shipped by UPS yesterday. I hope they can do better for other customers. There are other companies that sell 19.5" wheels but primarily for dual wheel...

Jimtoo, The GAWR RR (6,084 lb.) is identical to the tire and wheel capacity on my truck. If not limited by tires, wheels and springs, I have read elsewhere that the rear axle can carry 11,000 lb.

According to posts that I have seen elsewhere, my rear axle should be able to carry 11,000 lbs. Since the coach is close to the GCVW max weight and factory specs are generally considered conservative, I don't think the Shenandoah will be too much to handle. I welcome anyone who has reliable...

Switching from a 245x75R16 to a 225x70R19.5 tire will change my axle ratio from 3.73:1 to 3.54:1 according to one calculation on the web. The truck's actual speed at 60 mph will be 63.1 mph. The tires will be about 1.5" larger in diameter and my wheels will be lightweight forged aluminum. This...
