    Bad mattress or bed frame

    Over a year ago I bought a new king mattress for our Landmark because the original mattress was so horrible. On the old mattress my wife and I would end up in the huge sag at the middle of the bed. Sore backs and hips were the norm. The new mattress is much butter but I still think my wife...

    discolored ceiling due to a/c?

    Hmmm ... I'm not sure what else to suggest. The picture you posted looked exactly like my ceiling which cleaned up just fine. Our living area was much worse than the bedroom. Still it seems like some type of airborne particles are attaching themselves to the cold ceiling right at/near the...

    discolored ceiling due to a/c?

    You might want to check to see if the dealer did a good job cleaning it. I ended up wiping down the whole panel. I couldn't tell if there was a density change in the ceiling material but it could certainly feel/sound different if the A/C was running and there was a big temperature change...

    discolored ceiling due to a/c?

    Okay I think I have the solution to this problem or at least the reason why this is happening. After I read that the dealer cleaned the ceiling with some type of cleaner I went and touched that area with my finger. I noticed the area I touched was cleaner. So I got a rag and dampened it...

    discolored ceiling due to a/c?

    Mine is just an A/C too. The discoloration is the same as sdnative and I'm starting to see it very slightly in the bedroom.

    Taking care of warranty issues yourself? Tired of dealing with delership service, or lack there of!

    After repeated problems with dealer doing any work in a timely fashion I gave up and now either 1) Call Heartland and do the work myself or 2) Call Heartland and have a mobile tech come do the work. In this case I have to pay upfront and send the bill to Heartland and they cut me a check...

    How far is too far?

    Six days of driving and four days of vacationing seems a little backward. I've done 4 hour days (240 miles) and 10 hour days (550 miles). My typical speed is about 62MPH and usually get 11-13 MPG depending on the winds. I much prefer the short days and those are what we usually do. When...

    Hairline cracks in the tub/shower.

    Hi Gary, I had this exact problem with my landmark. I worked through Heartland customer service. Took pictures and emailed it to Heartland. They contacted Frontline, the manufacturer of my shower (should be a sticker on the bottom edge of the shower with the manufacturer) and forwarded the...

    6pt leveling and wheel chalks

    Don't buy the -xhocks if you plan to have an auto-leveling system. Usually you want to chock the wheels first then level. Well often the X-chocks fall out. So you put them back in and tighten them up. Then when you retract your forget to loosen them and they bend. Don't buy them...

    2014 Big Country Tv mount in Bedroom

    Underneath the tv there are screws tat hold two levers in place. If you remove the screws then the levers can be flipped which allows you to lift the TV off the wall mount. At least that is how mine worked on my bedroom TV. You probably have to feel around with your hands. Not much room...

    No heat

    Hi Dan, Okay a pulled out my meter to check the voltage at the fuse box. Didn't get that far. I pulled out the bottom fuse and the red light came on next to that fuse. I plugged it back in and the furnace kicked on when I did that. Doesn't give me a warm/fuzzy feeling as I'd like to...

    My Silly Fix for Popping Hyd Jacks

    I put in a quart of CAT hydraulic additive as recommended by Lippert. Lowered and raised the jacks several times. Still had popping but not as much. Have moved twice since then and the popping has stopped. Part of it may be Lippert's maintenance recommendation. Per their manual if you...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Had the 30K service done on my Dodge. Transmission fluid, transfer case, rear differential, fuel filter x 2, rotate tires, and oil change. For those of you with the Firestone Transforce tires ... how have they been wearing for you? ... how many miles do you get out of them?

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Installed a new Super-Slider adjustable Super-tube. The old one wouldn't accommodate my new rhino hose. Also, installed the extension cable for the VALOR TPMS system. Two more things checked off the list (which is still pretty long).

    Heat expansion of G614 tires

    I agree ... the X-Chocks fall out during leveling adjustments. It has happened to me. In fact if you forget to take them out before retracting the autolevelers you can bend the X-Chock (has happened to me). I won't be buying the X-Chocks anymore. Have had too many problems with them

    Under sink vent

    I gave up and replaced them with plugs. No more smell. The P-traps will be suctioned out when you drain the grey tanks. It has happened to me. Then the smell will be really bad. I just refill them by running some water in the sinks and shower after I dump them. The alternative is Home...

    small holes in awning---glue??

    Yeah I would look for just a flexible sealant for small holes. I have used Aquaseal to repair my fishing waders. They sell a UV resistant repair kit that they recommend using on tents and mattresses. https://www.mcnett.com/gearaid/aquaseal-uv#10612

    Setting proper tire pressure

    Alright its early morning with brisk 40 degree temperatures. The sun is just rising and we're preparing to move on to the next campground. Part of my usual list is checking the tire pressure. So I've wondered ... what should my tire pressure read? I know at 70 degrees it should be 110...

    Temperature/Pressure differences

    Hi Murry, Wonder how much heat is being transferred from the hub/axle to the sensors which I believe are strapped to the inside of the rim. Maybe you have slight brake drag or differences in the functioning of the wheel bearings. Or are the tires tracking/aligned properly. Of course that...

    Feedback Requested - Proposed Big Country Floor Plan

    I'm not a fan of the side-by-side recliners. Problem one is they are too small for tall and wide folks. Problem two is most folks don't need all that extra seating. Problem three is there is no space for setting things down near them. Problem four is they don't really swivel very well when...

    Considering becoming full timers!! Is it doable financially!!!

    We've been full-timing since April 1st, 2013. It is certainly doable but remember if you plan to stay at/near destination locations the cost of everything is higher. Think about things like what you plan to do when you are in one place for three weeks. For example, we enjoy hiking, rafting...

    Water Pressure Rising -- REGARDLESS of Regulator

    Any chance the weather was hot? Not sure how hot it would have to be to increase the pressure but if the regulator is in the sun it might make a difference.

    Anyone having trouble with warranty work?

    Warranty work through my dealer ... nope ... all they want to do is sell units. After three tries waiting 4-6 weeks each time I quit trying with the dealer. I'd trust an RV dealer as much as a car dealer ... not at all. Calling Heartland directly and using Mobile RV Techs or a qualified rv...

    Atwood 3 burner cooktop
