Hi All, i don't think I need to come to Toms rescue as he seems very capable. But let me play devils advocate; Every RV has it's faults, they all need improvement. Having a venue where we can engage the players who ultimately design and bring the products to the marketplace is invaluable. The...

One item that pushed us towrds the Key Largo was the fact that it had a unobstructed basement area. Some of the discontinued floorplans had ABS pipes that ran across that space. That was a deal breaker for me. Adam

I suspect you would get alot of different answers from different members on that one. My take is this; Like Gus says if its a big ticket item then its going back to the dealer for repairs. Simple. We spend alot of hard earned dollars on our units and we want them right. For the small stuff - I...

FJ, Sorry to hear about the damage. I trust in no time you have it all fixed up. I hate to be a computer desk quarter back but based on those photo's it would be a real long shot taking that trailer on the highway. With all due respect would you want to follow that unit up the highway if...

Not sure what model you have but here is a thought; I used to think ours had a faulty door too, but our last Whirlpool washer and our current one requires you to close the door then push and HOLD the start button to begin the cycle. Its not just a quick "push" on the start button. My wife...

Looks great Tom, You'll need your air brake endorsement though!

For whatever its worth I did put a residential fridge in our last motorhome. The doors add alot of weight to the overall fridge, however they can easily be removed and would make it alot easier for you to take your fridge out. It sounds like installing a sheet of quality plywood might reinforce...

Ok so Jim, We have a April build Key Largo with the residential fridge. I thought your suggestions were a quick fix to a potential problem (And I hate potential RV problems) so I had a look at our install today. Our fridge could easily be "rocked" in its enclosure. The 2 lower screws that you...

The truck looks great and I love the lights too! Enjoy!

I understand age, speed and load as factors that could lead to failure, but it would be interesting to hear about pressures. For those who have had faults with the GY's -- what pressure were you running when the tire let go? Adam

Dan your right, the video does show a aftermarket suspension product. The intention of the video was to try to show members the forces that act on our axle hangers. Admittedly those forces are exaggerated by the correct track extensions. No one knows that better than say Bill who is dealing with...

Publication 0135A outlines minimum recommendations for reinforcement, I was advised today of additional welding methods that can be used by my diesel shop to strengthen this design. They have done this to triaxle equipment floats hauling weight far in excess of my unit with excellent results...

I have scheduled my 2015 Landmark in for hanger corrections next week, not at a RV dealership but a local fabricating diesel shop that does heavy OTR truck and trailer repairs. I am not waiting to have issues with this design later on. I have chatted with other members who had to do these...

Well thats good news Dan. Thanks for your input. Perhaps Bill will chime in and let us know if the "Service Note" that he has received from Lippert calls for the repair to be done to just hangers carrying aftermarket Correct track versus the stock setup. Adam

So this begs the the following questions Bill (or anyone else with a valid opinion); 1. Does Lippert or Heartland have a silent "campaign" to reinforce stock spring hangers or do they just expect owners to preemptively undertake this reinforcement themselves? 2. Does anyone have specific...

I'm glad my thread has stimulated some constructive input. We can all learn from this at so many levels. From the simple things that I did on my shop floor through to a discussion about quality control in the industry. Heartland is NOT a rolling nightmare as another poster suggested and I...

Not only can batten insulation act like a mop when it comes to water, rodents love to make it home too.....can you just imagine if one found its way through one of the gaps of the coroplast!!?? I keep rodent poison in pet friendly dispensers in our storage building - the last thing you want is a...

The short answer is that the panels easiest "install" was the first time in my opinion. The product seems to develope a memory and if things are not perfectly aligned then it doesn't go well. In my case I feel the product would be easier to handle if it was warm versus cool. The smaller piece...

Thanks for your input, again anything I did on this project was not earth shattering - I just enjoy tinkering and I get piece of mind out of knowing that I do everything I can to keep our coach "in shape". I believe in having a good relationship with the selling dealer but I agree with Jim...

It wasn't easy. On my creeper I used both legs and arms plus a octopus to get it installed! The insulation actually behaves quite well as you tuck the plastic bubble wrap insulation over the frame rail before you screw up the panels. I would be all for (even for a upcharge) to have a option...

In the final stages of my housekeeping project I vacuumed all of the underbelly panels and picked up a container full of leftover build material. I then chose to add a additional layer of R-12 insulation to the underbelly area, concentrating it toward the edges of the underbelly panels. I...

Regarding the underbelly; 1. This is what the wiring looked like when I dropped the panels. 2. I moved the 120 VAC tank heat pad on the fresh water tank because a portion of it was being damaged by the support for the tank. 3. I protected the main feed for the 50 amp shore power where it came...

Good Evening; Perhaps some of you were following one of my other threads in the AC electrical forum - this thread is a continuation of that project. https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/47811-Landmark-GFI If you looked at the other thread you will see I was troubleshooting 2...

I wanted to take the time and update anyone still interested in the electrical issue I was trying to sort out last month. I have a break right now, our last official trip of the season is scheduled for October when my wife and I are heading to FL. I decided to dive into the ghost GFCI and Tank...

I knew I had some pictures somewhere..... In these before and after photos you can see where the rollers are fixed to the floor versus travelling with the bed. These are pics of our last unit where I removed carpet and put solid cherry hardwood in the bedroom. (Notice the thickness of the...

I personally like the design where the rollers are fixed on the floor and the bed moves over them, instead of the rollers moving "with" the bed frame. When the rollers are stationary it allows you to change to a hard surface flooring in a bedroom because the flooring doesn't have the weight or...

Good Work! Can you tell me what the counter top material was like to cut? I would like to make notches at our cook top to hold the covers while we are using the gas stove. I put notches in our last motorhome and it works perfect to just flip the 2 covers up while cooking instead of having to...

Yes, I can understand that. Our coach is scheduled to have 3 slide toppers installed next week and I will talk to service about the electrical issue. Given the time of year I will be hard pressed to get them to fix it that day. In the interim I am not using the awning receptacle and I have the...

So just in case anyone is still following this thread, the conversation about "tank heater" refers to the Yeti holding tank heater pads and not the coach hot water tank. At any rate - I am going to make an appointment and let the service department trouble shoot this one. Adam.

Yes Dan that is correct. Plus I check the receptacle ground to the box and it shows 0 volts too. I am beginning to think as Brian mentioned earlier, that perhaps somewhere a Yeti tank heater wire is crossing paths with the outside awning receptacle feed and there is a problem. The GFIC does not...

Picked up a new GFIC installed it in the bathroom - no fix. Replaced the "awning" receptacle with a new one - no fix. Back to the drawing board I guess... Adam

Dan, Duane The line heat and the tank pads both have the small rocker type switches both with the LEDs on the 2015 Landmark. I am off to pick up 2 new receptacles. Adam

Thanks Dan, The LED on the Yeti tank heaters lights up with the GFI tripped. Additionally that same LED illuminates even with the 15 amp circuit breaker off. Is any part of the Yeti 12 volt DC powered? I would love a schematic...... Adam

Thanks Brian, i will ill keep working on it. The Yeti has it's own circuit breaker and it's 15 amp. However it must be related to the GFI because of the tripping. I don't completely understand the wiring on the Yeti because the red LED illuminates on the switch when selected even with the...

ok, So I have started to trouble shoot the (un)related electrical issue. Our Landmark has 18 electrical outlets, 4 of which have the microwave, washing machine, fridge, and Dyson vacuum plugged into them. Additionally, there is the single GFI plug in the bathroom and it has 5 other receptacles...

thanks Brian, I think you could be right on the bad wire for the GFCIs outside, I haven't found anything yet though. The yeti throwing the bathroom breaker is something I don't get ....yet Adam

Great info guys thanks, still troubleshooting the problem. My appliances do not trip the Gfi if I plug them in at the bathroom receptacle only the outside ones. As far as the yeti goes, as soon as the switch is selected it trips the bathroom GFI, even with no other appliances on. The red Led...

Good Evening I would like to see if any of the members have a electric schematic for the 120VAC on a late model Landmark? I have a issue I am trying to sort through that involves my exterior (under awning GFi's) and the Yeti Tank Heater; Perhaps they are related. 1. When I did a function test...

Brian, I think the idea to have switched inverter plugs located stategically throughout the coach is a excellent idea. It certainly is a option that my wife and I would be willing to pay extra for and Heartland could bury that cost in a "electric upgrade" option. My only thought though is that...
