Gosh, Wilson, we sound like twins. The cord on our big blind snapped and the others look pretty bad as well and will not stay tightened! We did get a replacement blind from Heartland but when will the others go?

Doxiecouple, I cannot give you any good news. There is no way to fix the recliners and neither Heartland nor Flair would assist us in any way. In fact, they would not even return calls. The only way we learned they would not help is through our dealer, Rocky Mtn, in Butte, Mt. He tried and...

We have a new Key Largo. Recliners are terrible and should have gone with theater seating. They require a lot of room to recline and then there are no stops so they do not stay reclined, instead immediately begin a slow creep forward. Suggest you put "recliners" in the search engine and you...

Appreciate your thoughts, Bobcat. As I've said earlier, this is our 4th 5er and we were completely satisfied with the furniture in the others. What upsets us about this so much is that they are marketed as a recliner. Well, it does recline but will not stay reclined. They are not very...

Wilson, wish I had good news for you but unfortunately, still just this big silence. Talked to someone at Heartland who said nothing he could do. I asked to speak to someone who could do something and he referred me to his manager who did not call back. He was the same person who had not...

Will do, Wilson. We too had only seen one in Vegas. then did a lot of research and special ordered to get a queen bed from our dealer in Butte, Mt and when we stayed on lot as you did, had no TV and weren't in a relaxing but rather exploring mode so didn't notice the dysfunctional recliners. I...

You were lucky, MT, recliners not worth two bucks if they are the same as our Key Largo dysfunctional chairs! Just saying....

Wilson, thanks for info. Heartland referred us to someone at Flair who has not returned our call, will try again. "Removing heavy springs" does not compute with us so will appreciate follow up from you. On a high end Key Largo, Heartland should have changed their specs to provide a better...

We are half-timers, six months in Mx and six in Idaho. We sold our Alpenlite to buy our Key Largo. It had fantastic recliners, Lane I think, so I guess we had high expectations that these would be as good or better. We frequently speak fondly of our "old" ones which after 5 years, were as...

I hear you, Dan, we are taking a risk. I am basing our solution on several others who say they are great and I have not seen one complaint about them. This fact contrasts to an almost uncountable number of complaints about the recliners (I use that word loosely). At least it's worth a try...

Ange, go into the Key Largo thread and read, in several of them, all of the same problems you describe. And we are just as angry/disturbed as you, rightfully so. You will see our tale of woe in there. I wish I could tell you we've resolved it but after two months of working on this issue...

Just to give an update. The person from, I assume the factory, asked for our VIN # to investigate our issue. To date, no response. Jim, the Director of Client Services, asked for the name when I complained on another blog about 8 days ago. No response. Contacted our dealer, responded that...

Hey, Dave, any luck on your attempt to "tweak." I am assuming not or you would have let me know the good news.

Thanks, Dave. I agree with your IMHO, a recliner which will not stay reclined is ludicrous.

Oops, thought my first reply had been deleted, oh well.

I will keep you posted. As of today, no response from anyone. Yeah, auto-lift chair, lol. The solution above to raise your lower back does work....but don't move a muscle or it starts the creep again. Had a really bad night, chest cold and lying in bed starts this awful coughing. So finally...

We have tried all kinds of positions and even damaged the wall behind one of the recliners by pushing back too hard. Jim, when I first posted this problem in a different thread, someone I assumed was from the factory, asked for our VIN so they could check it out. That was about two months ago...

Oh, duh, thanks for clarification. I thought you meant on the door itself. Good idea. By protected area, I meant the space between the door and the slide, away from wind so doesn't blow over. And we have a "ramada" over our RV so that also helps. We enjoy a little napping from time to time...

Good post after one month. We are going on three and have only very minor issues. Question: When you installed coat hooks, didn't you cover only full length mirror in the bedroom? The "do these jeans make me look fat" mirror....lol. Our closet doors have a very attractive striped design on...

I just move mine to the side of the stove, there is so much counter space in the new Key Largo. Then when finished, put them back in place. Keeps the stove more dust free as well; we are in a dusty area. I'm surprised no one mentioned the sink covers as well. I just left those at our...

Regading Sun Valley - The only private place near Sun Valley is The Meadows RV Park. It's about three miles south of Ketchum. Otherwise, there are a number of nice Forrest Service camp grounds within 15- 20 miles (mostly north of SV/Ketchum).

We have a 2013 Key Largo. Just measured the basement - it's 7 ft 10 inches wide side to side by 32 in tall. Front to back dimensions are 5 ft 5 inches on the door side and 4 ft 1 inch on the off side (it's angled). This doesn't include the smaller, separate area in the very front of the...

Thank you all and fyi, I already heard from the factory because of my post. Amazing. At this point, they just asked for VIN but at least it is encouraging that perhaps they will switch our disfunctional recliners, particularly because we were the people upset about the mid-year surprise...

Does anyone have experience with the theater seating in the new Key Largos? We have the recliners and find they do not stay "reclined" and rather start a gradual but very annoying creep forward. This applies to both a small and a large person being seated in them. We are wondering about...

This is "Willie". The earlier post was by my wife, Judy. We have at least some minor difference of opinion on the changes to the Key Largo although we agree on the majority. Most of the mods, I think, make sense. The shower is still plenty large and the extra storage in the bathroom is a...

We too special ordered for queen bed. We were very upset by changes in mid-stream. And since we were almost ready to leave our home for the winter, we were pretty much hostage to the 2013 changes. Took our maiden voyage 1,200 miles to Mexico and have lived in our unit for over a month without...

Thanks for the idea although I think we're already screwed it up. We have to use Direct because Dish isn't "receivable." We are actually in Mexico and have a very large dish. I specifically asked about giving a Ga address we had and the guy said no, it is based solely on where your RV is...

We just gained access to the network feeds through Direct TV after sending in waiver requests and new Key Largo registration. Many times we are dry camped in areas without an address so the telephone calling doesn't work for us. The problem we have is since our RV is registered in Montana, we...

There is no external phone hookup on our 2013 Key Largo. I guess what we'll have to do is run a line thru one of the windows and leave the window open just a bit. Heartland is miscalculating when it assumes no one has use for a landline... and it certainly couldn't cost much to include at...

We just purchased a 2013 Key Largo and are on our maiden voyage. We special ordered to get a queen bed and many changes were made mid-stream, some we are not happy with. It does not have central vac anymore. Instead, created a small "dressing" room at end of closet and mounted a Dyson Stick...

We winter in San Carlos, Mexico. While there we use the Verizon Nationwide plus Mexico planon pur cell phones for calls to the U.S. For local calls, though, and for internet, we have a Telmex landline. That's why we need the landline hookup. I guess, if the one in the bedroom closet is the...

We picked up our new Key Largo a week ago. This is the "new" 2013 Key Largo model, with a number of modifications from the prior 2013 model (cherry wood rather than pecan, larger island, but no barrel storage areas at end of island as well as other changes). We have a question about placement...

Have a low mileage (18 K) 2004 Silverado with 8.1 liter engine/allison trans and LT package for sale. Set up to tow 5th wheel with Pullrite super slider hitch. PM me if interested.
