Hi Thomas and Petra! Good for you! I'm sure you will enjoy the North Country! That is a great rig! You have some fantastic experiences waiting for you in the future....and realistically speaking, maybe a few you could do with out...LOL But, we're sure you're really going to have a great...

Don: We have not actually did a conversion but we went from 3 - 4 steps when we went from our Elkridge to the Landmark. I have bad knees and a bad hip as well. That change did more for me getting in and out of the coach than anything I can imagine. Reduced my pain by at least 80 %. John

You know, I guess I make things too simplistic. I'm sitting very nicely cooled in our 2012 MESA in this heat and direct sun with no shade. In this kind of extreme heat we turn on both air units, open the major vent on the unit in the living room, turn the fans on manual and turn on the...

Ammonia based refrigerators don't have to be absolutely level, but they do have to be close to cool properly. Get them off level far enough and you will burn out the refrigerator all together. The difference between shore power and propane is that shore power uses a heating coil instead of a...

Well, Rex, there is an upside to all of this. They were yellow jackets and NOT Bumble Bee's!!!! Always seemed to hit at least one Bumble Bee nest a year mowing Hay when I was a kid! And yes, they can out run a JOHN DEERE....LOL

We had the same check valve on the water heater in the Landmark. It was plastic, it has already failed and leaked. It was replaced with Brass and a galvanized nipple. Definitely a better arrangement!!!!

The French Quarter spot is in an industrial area. Some folks like it there. It isn't one of our favorites. As far as a nice place, reasonable location and safety, try the KOA at Kenner. We go back there from time to time. All the advantages of being in the Metro area and no disadvantages.

Looking forward to it in October!!!

Welcome Aboard Fossil!! That Northland is a great rig! And it is made by a great company! I suspect that most of us can echo your sentiments about making mistakes! At least I know we can!! Have a great time on that shake down cruise!!!!

If you are comparing units within a like price range, my experience has been that Heartland will be superior quality. I KNOW that Heartland will put the others to shame in customer service. So, in that regard, the Silverado is nothing but a WIN WIN for you! Good Luck!!

Thanks Dan!! I'll give it a try...and see what happens.

Well, if you find it or think of it let me know!!! .....at the moment I'm saving my money to replace the unit as it is unacceptable the way it is.

Welcome aboard Flyer!! The Big Horn is a GREAT unit. We know you will really enjoy that! Congratulations!!!!!

Jim: Janie and I are truly sorry for your loss! Many folks fail to realize how much our animal friends come to mean to us!! We'll be thinking about you and your family!!

Congratulations!!! I'm sure you will enjoy that unit! I know we sure love ours!!

Personally, I use a 100 % Cotton Washing "mitt" that is built like a pad on our MESA. Goes on the end of my extension rod. The wash pros in the area here tell me to avoid anything that isn't cotton as that has the ability to put "swirls" in the clear coat.

Hi there! I would highly suggest that you have this checked by your dealer. Fiberglass does not 'bubble' unless there is something significant wrong. Something is either working its way out from the inside or the material is delaminationg (coming apart between the layers) etc. It isn't an...

One thing I forgot to mention earlier....there is a website out there....reserveamerica.com It specializes in a lot of the state owned parks. It provides a clear analysis of the sites in any given park including the overall length of each site. Might help with any concerns you have!

There are some smaller county parks and older state parks that may have some issues with a rig of that size but they are really thinning out these days. We are 40' and can't remember the last time we had a problem with getting into a park. Having said that......doesn't always mean that they...

Some years ago, we towed a 5th wheel across a 26 mile bridge during Tropical Storm Michael. Can't say that it was the smartest thing I ever did...on the other hand, can't say it was bad either. Simply reduced speed and had no problems at all!!! The real question is what do YOU feel safe with...

We'll be there Hogan! Let us know what we can do on this end!!!! John and Janie Oren

While we are currently towing a 5th wheel, in the past, we had bumper pulls. We used a Hensley Arrow. It's expensive, takes a bit of getting used to but once you do, oh my......would never, ever tow without one again. Google it. They are only available direct from the manufacturer.

Hi Ran: Something you might want to check.... 1. Click on "Settings" in the upper right corner of the page. 2. When you get to the settings page, look on the LEFT side of the page and click on "General Settings". About half way down you will find a button to turn private messages off or on...

Hi Bob...thanks for the feedback. The problem has nothing to do with how it sounds playing a DVD. It sounds fine there. Where I have the problem is with TV. It is hooked to AUX 3 and when it plays through the system the audio is horribly bassy. .... . almost like an echo chamber. I have a...

We have a Genesis 3.0 in our Landmark. When we listen to a DVD or when we listen to our TV via the Genesis the audio is terribly "basey", sounds as though the dialogue is in an echo chamber. I've heard this before on my home system and it was the choice of sound style in the audio set up and was...

As I indicated to JohnDar, Trace, I've changed two different tires on mine. Wouldn't do it any other way!!! Don't think you would be sorry. BTW, they have other brands out there and I suspect you can find heavier ratings. However, I can't imagine you having anything that would put more than...

Based on the manufacturers info, the 15,000 K on that unit is based on the load exerted. The per axle weight on my Mesa is less than 8000. I'm thinking I'm about 50% of the rating on the ramp. Had a trailer lip off my bottle jack and spring saddle years ago. That brought my jacking days to...

There is a special product made to lift trailers. It is a 'ramp' that captures the good tire at the top. You pull on to it with the good tire and it lifts the bad tire off the ground. Works so well, the last time I went to Good Year they borrowed it to change my tires...LOL Camping World has...

Re: My 2012 Ford F450 Classy Chassis truck build - Vinyl Graphics Great Looking Truck Jim!!! Really like that Color Scheme!!..LOL

Janie and I will be headed out early tomorrow morning. Before we do, we wanted to say thanks to all who made the Rally happen, especially to Hogan and Donna. We had a great time and enjoyed meeting other Heartland owners! Best of everything to everyone and we'll see you on down the road...

Guess by all standards we're going to be late. Unfortunately, couldn't afford any more time off work. We'll be in on Thursday, 2:00 PM +/-.

Well, folks, there's good news and bad news....LOL The good news is that you're going to LOVE that unit! Congrats!!! The bad news is that truck buying can be a real pain in the patoot!!!!!...LOL Good luck!

Re: down payment on new rv Congratulations! We have a 2012 MESA. Have to say that while we expected some small 'bugs' to work out, we haven't seen much in the first 6 months. Have been absolutely drop dead satisfied with the Landmark. This is our second Heartland product and we knew what to...

LOL...yeah Jim, there are enough calories in a bowl of that stuff to solve the energy crisis!!!!

I'm thinking Blue Bell used to have a "Chocolate Turtle"...something like that? Vanilla ice cream, nuts, chocolate and carmel...and if they don't have it they should!!!!..LOL

Hi There! Welcome to the Forum. We are on the young side of retirement as well. So much so that we live in our Landmark 5 days a week and still have a home for the other two. One of these days we're going to lose the house...LOL Actually, we have had a little experience with at least one of...

We just went through this exact issue on our new F-350. Our Hitch dealer was pretty direct. He was willing to sell us the B&W if we wanted it, pointing out that it was under rated for our towing. We ended up ordering the Reese which put us within tolerances. After we got done with the order...
