    Do new brake linings have to be "burned in?"

    Thanks for the advice! I've followed your recommendations and although the braking is improving, it's still quite away off from being safe. I'll cautiously continue to burnish the brakes on the next couple of trips. Thanks again for your quick replies! Jerry

    Do new brake linings have to be "burned in?"

    I have a 2012 Landmark San Antonio with approximately 30K miles. The original brakes wore out and the selling dealer replaced them. The new brakes have very little stopping power and the dealer says they need to be burned in by normal driving and stopping for several miles. They seem to be...

    keeping my sanity in a chaotic world!

    I enjoy making cards. I have a bag that goes with us that has the basics of what I might need. I will bring along a kit that will make 10 cards. It is enough to quinch my need to be creative.

    Join The North texas Chapter!

    We recently purchased a Landmark San Antonio. We are members of a local Good Sams Club which was dying on the vine. It is now a thriving club with ten couples and almost all attend. Jerry and I are both willing to be involved in getting this new chapter started. We live in Oklahoma City...

    Anyone tow with a 2011 Chevy 2500HD?

    After reviewing the specs and comparing weight ratings all weekend, Susan and I finally settled on the 3500HD Dually. If all goes well, we'll pick it up tomorrow, have the hitch installed, and be ready for the road early next week. More money than we wanted to spend, but how do you put a price...

    Anyone tow with a 2011 Chevy 2500HD?

    We're going to give serious consideration to buying the SRW. I've been reviewing the Chevrolet specs and calculating the load limits all day. I just hate to trade so soon and take the excise hit again this year, but I'm certain we'll feel more secure with the SRW towing the new San Antonio...

    Anyone tow with a 2011 Chevy 2500HD?

    I located a 2011 3500HD Single Rear Wheel (SRW) Duramax with 70 miles on the odometer. The price is right and my wife wants to buy it to eliminate any worries. It will increase the payload by 1373 lbs, which will allow me an additional 1365 lbs for her stuff. As it is with the 2500HD, I'm...

    Oklahoma Campground recommendations?

    Try Cedar Oaks RV Resort at Grand Lake, which is northeast of Tulsa in Grove, Oklahoma. Here's the link to the resort: http://www.cedaroaksrv.com/ Our local Good Sam's chapter camped there back in June and had a wonderful time. It's right on the shore of Grand Lake.

    Anyone tow with a 2011 Chevy 2500HD?

    We really like our 2011 2500HD. We were towing a 32' Cedar Creek that weighed in about 13,200, and it offered no resistence to the 2500. I realize the Landmark is a much larger and heavier coach, but knowing the performance I've experienced with the 2011 so far, I'm hopeful it can handle the...

    Anyone tow with a 2011 Chevy 2500HD?

    Thanks for that sound advice on the dually conversion! I'll follow it.

    Anyone tow with a 2011 Chevy 2500HD?

    I pulled the weights right off Chevrolet's online "trailering specs" for the model I have, i.e., 2011 2500HD 6.6L Duramax w/Allison/Exhaust Brake, 4WD, Crew Cab, Regular Bed. I agree that the tires are probably the weakest link, and I may upgrade them to "Gs" to be on the safe side (I think the...

    Anyone tow with a 2011 Chevy 2500HD?

    Thanks, Guys! You're both right, "it's too late, now." I've already tried to prepare the wife for a new tow vehicle, but that just isn't going to happen anytime soon. I was towing a 32' Cedar Creek and the Chevy didn't even know it was there. The Landmark is quite a bit more coach and I'm...

    Anyone tow with a 2011 Chevy 2500HD?

    I'm new to the forum and won't take delivery of my 2012 Landmark San Antonio until next week. But my question concerns the ability of my 2011 Chevy 2500HD, Duramax/Allison/Exhaust Brake, to safely tow the Landmark. I'm having an 18K Pull-Rite Slider hitch and Firestone Air Bags installed on the...
