It's time for new tires for my 2006 Landmark Shenandoah. Loaded weight 14K lbs. The Goodyear LT235/85R16 was the go to tire. I was a little shocked at the $2400 price. Any recommendations for a comparable tire that costs less?

To anyone interested. I pulled down the fan shroud off the toilet room and was able to measure the roof. The EPDM is less than 1/16" and the luan (particle board) is 3/8". A metal fabricator told me the trusses were probably 1/16" thick but no more than 1/8".

Thanks for the feedback Jim. I called Heartland and spoke with a young guy that was absolutely no help at all. Do you have a name of somebody I could ask to speak with that has some history at Heartland? The brochure was helpful and quite an interesting read. I downloaded it for future...

Does anybody have knowledge of the roof construction on the 2006 Landmarks. I know they had the aluminum trusses. I believe it was then layered with particle board then luan and then the EPDM covering. I need to know if this is correct and also what the thickness is of the luan, particle board...

I have a 2006 Landmark Shenandoah. The luan underneath the rubber epdm has delaminated from the trusses by the bath vent over to the opposite side. It goes from one truss to 4' over to the third truss over. It is ok 6" to 8" in from the sides but in the center is springy and is up approx. 1". I...

We have a 04' duramax. We just had a glowplug replaced at the dealer. He told us they are covered under warranty up to 200,000 miles!

I have the Firestone Dual Air Command II with the auxiliary air tank and hose. You can pump up each air bag seperately although I travel with both set the same at 50 psi usuallly. It is nice to be able to change the air pressure on the fly if the road condition dictates it. I have a steep...

Tom Is it possible to replace the fitting without pulling the lines out? I've been told I have to pull them out to have a new fitting put on. I'd be willing to take a chance on that if it can be done. Please advise! Thanks!

My fittings are leaking between the crimp and the stationary nut so I have to replace the whole line. I would consider myself insane to remove the Chinese made lines, put a new fitting on and put them back in. I want some REAL hydraulic lines.

I have a 2006 Landmark Shenendoah. Because the fittings are leaking going to the slideouts I need to relace the hydraulic lines. More Chinese crap:mad:. Since I'll have to drop the bottom to access the lines I've decided to replace all the lines. I have three front jack lines leaking also...

I have a 06' Landmark. I have had several problems with the hydraulic hoses leaking. They don't leak at the fitting but at the junction where the end fitting is crimped onto the hose. I have replaced four hoses only to have the new ones leak. They were purcased from Lippert. The only hoses to...

Is it possible to change out the Ultra-lube wheel bearing assembly to the Never-lube system? If so, how much does it cost? Thanks, Sparkie

Satellite Connection If you already have a satellite service at home you can take one of your satellite receivers from the house and use it in the coach. You will need to get a used dish, which are usually free to $25, a cable, $10 and a compass. There is no extra fee from your satellite...

I have a o6 Landmark Shenandoah. Because of the gap between the end of the awning and the slideout by the front door when it rains the area in front of the door gets soaked. I have been trying to figure out how to arrange a tarp over that opening and still have the rain sensor engaged on the...

We had the same problem in our 06 Landmark. The dealer had to pull it out and re-install it. They told us it was a common problem. If your under warranty get ahold of your dealer. If your a handyman I'm sure you can do the fix! Happy camping!!!

Ray's RV in Sacramento I have had extensive work done at Ray's over the first year we had our Landmark and I would give them an A-. From what I hear about others I think that is pretty good! They have to do a balancing act with Heartland and I feel Ray and J R in the service dept are very...

I found the leak I lucked out. Because the leak occurred when I put even a small amount of water in the tank I was afraid it was a crack in the bottom of the tank. It was in the vinyl flex hose that goes from the filler opening to the tank. It sags down below the level of the bottom of the tank...

I have a 06 Landmark (Shenandoah) with an apparent fresh water tank leak. After a trip with a 1/4 full tank I had a leak which comes out at the rear inside corner of the black plastic box that holds the sewer pipe. It also leaks close to that corner at a low point of the underbelly. I emptied...

recliners You may consider getting Eurochairs. Two will fit in the rear. They are light and narrow enough so that you can swivel them around so you can take in a view without rearranging the furniture. We even have a small table between ours. Quality and price vary. I have one ultrarecliner and...

Hydraulic hose repair Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I do not believe you can cut these lines to repair them. There is a schematic on the Lippert website but it sure doesn't look like it relates to my unit. Another rv website highly recommended that I should have a rv shop do the...

Any recommendations on which brand of converter box to purchase? Are there any features I should be looking for? Thanks!!!

IR Thermometer I was taught to use the readings to simply compare to each other. In other words, if one tire or bearing is markedly hotter than another you have a problem!

I have a 06' Landmark. I have to replace 2 hoses to the front jacks. I have contacted Jim at Lippert and received some guidelines but they don't relate to the pump assembly I have. He recommended using a 'purge kit' and even sent me a picture of it. The problem is he doesn't know where I can buy...

AL-KO recommends that the Ultralube wheel bearings should be totally disassembled, inspected and repacked every 6K miles or every 6 months, whichever occurs first. This seems like an overkill to me. How often are you servicing these? Are there any horror stories I should know about? What's the...

I have 2 questions for you electronic wizards out there concerning my 06 Shenandoah! (1) In regards to installing the Winegard Digital HD Receiver or digital boxes that will be available soon, do I need one for each tv (I have 2 tvs) or will one do the job? I'm sure they come with instructions...

After 6 phone calls to Lippert I finally convinced them to send me a new pump! I feel confident this will solve my problem. A big thank you is due to Forrest for recommending a call to Parker Hydraulics. They were refreshingly cordial, friendly and most helpful. I would recommend that anybody...

We have a 06' Shenandoah which was manufactured in 05'. The front hydraulic jacks will not fully extend. They go up 3" to 5 " and stop. The pump keeps running and it doesn't trip the breaker. This has occured intermitently for months. The dealer has done everything Lippert has recommended from...

Has anyone installed a generator in a landmark? We are being told that the welds on the front of our coach where the generator goes will not hold a 300lb generator and we need to add bracing and floor. We are also being told that we do not have a "generator ready unit" we only have a switch in...

Slaytop, Yes, as a new owner of a Shenandoah and a concerned Chevy 3/4 ton 6.6L TV owner I would appreciate any information or advice you could pass on to me! Thanks for your time and concern!!!

The sales people and the Heartland literature say I can pull my new Shenandoah with our 2004 Chevy 3/4 ton Crew Cab short bed Duramax 4x4. After reading this forum I`m having some doubts! I would greatly apppreciate any input or information from anybody who pulls a Shenandoah with a Chevy 3/4...

My husband and I are very close in purchasing a shenandoah and would really like any and all feedback on the coach and any problems we should be aware of. We would also like to know if anyone has ever installed steel wheel on the back of there unit so they do not bottom out? If you have, did you...
