I am towing a fifth wheel with a dually, and my GCVW is over 26,000 lbs. I am a private owner. I have not pulled into any weigh stations and I have never been pulled over for passing by. Has anyone been pulled over and told they were in violation or not stopping? Has anyone stopped at a...

In anticipation of protecting full body paint job, wonder which TV mounted splash gaurd you experienced guys are using / liking to protect your rigs from stones - tar - stuff damaging the front of your 5er? I have a 2016 3500 DRW Denali CC. I saw towtector towing protection on google.

Central Vac (CV140) Eureka Yellow Jacket must have broken since we used it last. Tried to use it the other day, and it would not start up. Can someone tell me WHEN I lift the Living room hose port so I can pick up dirt I swept over by it, it should come on - right? Also, IF you swing the door...

I only start my Onan Generator once or twice a year, just to make sure it will run if I decide I need it. I do however use the fuel tank for the lawn mower. IF I run the gas too low in the gas tank (it is pretty low but not empty) will it prevent the priming light from coming on and will it...

Any frustrations out there about doing laundry in the bedroom? We love the Charleston living room, but we have concerns about the laundry in the front bedroom that comes with it. The laundry seems to be most commonly found in the bedroom. We love the laundry in the front bath of the...

Hi, We like the Madison layout, but we would want to eliminate one or both of the couches and replace with rockers. It seems that the couches are always built in and the slide does not go all the way to the floor. Can anyone validate IF the front living room slides (2016-2017 models) support...

So, before we bought, we checked with the insurance company and got a figure for how much our insurance was going to go up. Was told $199 every 6 months. Now that we own it, it has gone up $420 for every 6 months. My old TV was a 2003 GMC SRW. I know this is a $60,000 truck and it is going to...

We pulled the trigger on a 2016 GMC 3500HD Denali 4x4 DRW to set ourselves up to tow a 18,000 lb Landmark Newport. I will need to buy a different hitch, as my old one is only 16K pullrite slider. So, my local hitch shop sells Reese, Curt, and B&W. I have no idea if I will need to adjust the...

I would appreciate any assistance on this tow question. I PMd Gary (fifthwheelst), but just incase he is not available.......Just trying to do my homework... Anyone towing a newer Landmark 365 (Newport is our choice) with a 2015 or 2016 GMC3500HD Duramax Denali DRW CC 4x4?? IF yes, can you...

Saw this pic of a bathroom floor, may be from an Alegro Bus. What are the odds of a nice floor like this going into a Heartland higher end 5er? Landmark or Big Horn? This looks really classy.

I have some year old diesel winter treatment from last year. Is it still good to use it up this year?

So, the 5er is stored for the winter. The sticker on my trucks drivers door says cold tire pressure for the front axle is 55 psi. I need to check, but I typically run the same pressure on all 4 tires on a vehicle. They may be also be at 80 psi. Is this right? I would run my front axle...

We are heading for Poncho's Pond in the near future. Anyone have a favorite site or area to camp in the campground? I would like to be able to drop the toy hauler ramp and take in a view of the pond. CG looks pretty big. I read the rally thread and saw the notes on Old Hamlins, House of...

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear...

Charleston Living Rm and Newport Front Bathroom would be the perfect match. Any chance of this happening or something close to it. The bathroom in the Charleston is just too tight.

This could happen on any brand. When we smelled the burning plastic, it was strongest under the sink. I felt the plastic box covering the heating element wires and it was thermally hot. I had already killed the power at the breaker. The pics show what I found. I believe this was a loose...

I did not buy the patio option. Is my ramp the same construction as one with the patio option just less the patio hardware?

I saw this on another RV forum. IF it is true, everyone needs to be aware so you can protect yourself and your loved ones. Another person commented in the thread that this had happened to them. Be aware... Warning! !! Stopped at rest area around Columbus Ohio and while my wife and daughter...

One Sunday morning, the priest noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names with small American flags mounted on either side of it. The seven year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the priest walked up, stood...

Looking for awning shade screen recommendations? We love our shade. I bought an awning shade screen once but it was extremely hard to get into the track in the awning, so I took it back. Does anyone have a recommendation for one that is easy to get in and out? I assume you slide it into the...

My keypad was originally inside the basement about 3 feet. I had to pull our a lawn chair so I could get my head in far enough to read the display. I moved it out to the edge just inside the slam door. I put a couple of angled blocks of wood in with wood screws. The display was already...

We are in love with the Landmark 365 Charleston floor plan. Is there any chance that the "Charleston" floor plan will ever be offered in a Big Horn? We like the layout as it makes you feel the living room separation from the kitchen. Also, is it the same shower in the 2016 Landmark, 2016...

Awning end seam has plastic "cable" coming out of seam at edge of awning-see pictures. I am not sure if I can push it back in and IF I can, can I reattach it? Anyone else had this happen? I am thinking of just pulling it out and being done with it. It comes out a little bit more each time I...

in the corner of my garage, ceiling there is a coax connection. I had the satellite working on all the other connections that I know are satellite ready (and they were playing Direct TV at the time, BUT this single coax in the garage would not find the satellite, so I assume it is wired to only...

Replaced 3 step with Lippert 4 step tonight. Hardest part was getting to the bolts. They are hidden up under some light sheet metal. Once I figured out how to loosen up the sheet metal, 4 bolts off, 4 bolts on. Used the Air Socket Wrench, made it easier. I bolted them up to a 2014 Cyclone...

We were using the rear screen to get a nice breeze moving through the TH this weekend. This is when I realized that the screen rides in a channel from the top to the bottom. It is not fixed like on a screen door or window. When the wind got stronger, the screen blew out of the channel and I...

So, first off, I am fairly new to electric brakes and towing a 15,500 lb 5er. I had a shop repack my bearings a month ago. They inspected my brakes and said everything looked really good, just a little dust which they cleaned up. Before I took it to the shop, and since I got it new, when I hit...

Just finished replacing LED strip lighting mounted on the awning roller. Our Cyclone is only 1.5 years old, and after about 1 year some of the LED strip lights were burnt out on both awnings, hit and miss along the entire strip. This strip of LEDs comes on a roll with adhesive on one side. I...

This weekend we were at a campground hooked up to 30 amp. I believe their power post had a bad source of power. My wife heard a rapping sound from the vicinity of the inside fuse-breaker panel a couple of times. She heard it before and thought I was digging around in the basement. I heard it...

What exactly is in What's New? I posted a thread under a specific forum, but do not see it in What's New. I thought ALL new posts show up in the What's New tab.

I was under my slide conditioning the rubber seals and saw this rust which makes it look like that bracket that holds the bottom of the slide is moving. I will be going to dealer on June 1, and will have them look at it. Anyone seen this before? Slide goes in good. Does not seem to be a...

Anyone using Slingbox with any success? Last season we had direct TV satelite. The internet where we camp locally has not been that reliable. I am thinking we would need a reliable internet service in campground or we would be disappointed. we watch a lot of TV.

We read on another forum that Mr. Clean eraser is good for cleaning the awning. So I tried it. DW bought a mop version on a pole, and IT WORKED GREAT! So, I tried the mop on the black streaks on the walls, IT WORKED GREAT! We will have one stored in the basement storage from now on.

Why is it when I go to the Heartland website, I am still looking at 2013 pictures. I have seen that 2015 units on dealer sites have updated color schemes, but I can not see them on the factory website. I would think it would be better for sales to show off your enhancements to a new model year...

I saw a basement TV mount in a 2015 Cyclone that was part slider, and then rotated after the TV pulled out. The stored TV was parellel with the rear basement wall and slid out with minimal clearance issues. Once clear of everthing, it roated 90 degrees or more for viewing angle. I have a 2014...

So, I am pulling into the tire store to get my spare 10 ply OEM tire changed out for a 12 ply tire, and I see the spare is dangling about 4 to 6 inches below stored position behind the rear axles. I have never operated the spare tire "keeper" mechanism before today. I had just read some posts...

Tonight, partly due to the advice I found on this site, I sold my Blowmax OEM tires using Craigslist, to a fella who plans to put them on a two axle horse trailer. Not sure how much they weigh, but I told him my Cyclone weighed 15,500 lbs. $50 each, 5 tires, $250. Helped me pay for the 12 ply...

78 degrees outside, camper is in mostly shade. About 4 pm, I shut the windows and started the air. A/C was set at 70, unit cooled to 70, but Air conditioner Nevershut off. I turned the thermostat up to 72 at 7 pm. A/C shut off for 2 seconds and a fan came on immediately. Fan ran until 844 pm...

So, let's say "hypothetically speaking " thay "someone I know " was 1300 lbs over GCVWR. IF my goal was to remove unwanted extra weight, to get down to 22,000 gross, would anyone have some useful ideas, short of buying a bigger truck? I am trying to figure out if I can put off the dually until...

This cabinet (between microwave and entry door over small kitchen window) should have one door that is hinged on the far side with the cabinet handle on the near side so it opens up into kitchen. The half door hinged on near side prevents full access into cupboard. Can I order a full door...
