    Back Window on a 2015 Ashland mechanism stripped

    Very frustrated! We bought our Ashland 2015 in December of 2014. I had health issues at the time and did my best to keep the unit warm and ready for 2015. I got better and we went to over 10,000 miles of trips to Disneyworld, Yellowstone, Arizona and California. We do truly love our RV. BUT...

    Where can I order the Sikken paint for my RV?

    I had a blow out that required me to repair the metal skirt by the entry door and on part of the slide. I did all the repairs and they look great. Now I need to paint the repaired area to match the rest of the RV. I have the paint codes and I know the paint is made by Sikken. The problem is I...

    Keeps blowing 15 amp 12 volt fuse

    We just came back from a two week vacation in the Ashland and besides the battery charger breaker having to be reset we had no issues. Even when running three ACs (in Orlando) the unit just ran fine. Now I am at home and I am running on 30 amps (put a 30 amp RV outlet on the side of the house) I...

    Fellow Ashland owner have a AC question

    I have already sent an email into the factory on this but I also find that it is good to ask other owners if they are seeing the same issues. Our Ashland has three air conditioners. We got our unit last December so we have not had any reason to run the ACs. The unit got into the 80s inside and I...

    With the new Landmarks how long can you run the Res. Refrigerator off of batteries?

    We will be going on some pretty long trips this summer and have the Samsung "French Door" refrigerator. How long can you run the refrigerator on batteries before the inverter shuts down? It looks like Heartland has put some fairly large batteries in the units but it would be nice to know so we...

    Smokers (not cigerettes or cigars) & BBQs

    My hobby is cooking outside on my smoker. I now want to take my hobby on the road by buying a smaller unit for our RV. Our Ashland has a large basement and we also have the space in front that a generator would normally take up. I know there has to be more Heartland owners that have the same...

    ATF: Landmark - hitch for back of Ashland

    I noticed there seems to be some brackets under the unit in the back that a hitch could be mounted too. Is there a hitch that is designed to be used? We would like to add a small hitch so we could carry bikes on the back of the 5th wheel. Thanks, Fred

    Was supposed to be in Newport Beach, CA with our new Ashland but do to some health issues had to stay home here in Santa Fe, NM. I filled up both 30# propane tanks December 24th and set the thermostat to 55 degrees inside the unit to see how well the propane would hold up. Well it is now almost...

    New Heartland Website

    I just went on the NEW Heartland website. What a huge improvement. It does require high speed internet with all the graphics but I am pretty impressed. Also they have updated the model information with more than just the floor plans. The literature area is still empty but I am sure that that...

    ATF: Landmark - High Rise Coffee Table

    I just bought a Landmark Ashland and get delivery next Wednesday (I hope). My question is my unit did not have the high rise coffee table. I was under the impression that this replaced the built in desk of the older Landmark models. Now it seems it is an option that I was not aware of. How do I...
