    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...

    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...

    Loose Antenna

    I was inspecting the roof today. Noticed some of the screwheads were raised on the rear side of the antenna mounting plate. Tried to to tighten them down but they seemed stripped. After further inspection there is a hard stop on the antenna that is supposed to prevent it from being brought...

    Bathroom Fan

    So the cheap Ventline motor burned out in my bathroom after less than 5 months from purchase. Take it in for warranty repair??? Nope because it would be replaced with the same cheap fan. Instead I put in a Vortex II fan replacement kit today. Pretty easy install except your arms get tired...

    Bike carrier hitch

    Picked up a bike carrier hitch today. Its a Reese Sportwing two bike hitch mount carrier that holds the bikes by the tires. Pretty easy to setup and it accommodates my 29" cruiser and my DW's 26" cruiser.

    Dining chair repair

    This probably applies to other Heartland rigs besides Landmark. One of our dining room chairs (with underseat storage) had the seat and back separate at the mortice and tenon joint. After inspection only a few braid nails were used to attach the four braces inside the seat storage. The...

    Second Mod: Ladder support

    Simple fix for rear ladders (hopefully general) until Heartland improves their product. Really stabilized the ladder nicely.

    First Mod: Cat House

    Did this back in December and finally making time to post some pictures. Built a cathouse in about 1/5 of the basement area. The litter box lives there and cats enjoy sitting outside. We get a lot of questions and comments from folks walking by. Edit: Sorry about the third picture. It...

    Shower floor cracks

    Well I'm bummed. Just noticed two cracks in the floor of our Landmark Rushmore shower (rectangular). The shower floor has started creaking a lot. I am guessing the pan was not supported properly when installed. Everything is still under warranty but I'm really worried about the repair...

    QC suggestion to prevent shower leaks.

    A friendly suggestion to Heartland. The shower door floor track and end rails are well caulked (both inside and outside the shower). During construction there was no caulk applied to the inside joint between the floor track and side rails. While showering the water naturally splashes in the...

    Carpeting in Rushmore

    Staples in Carpeting in Rushmore House rules are we take off our shoes to help preserve the carpet and keep it clean. Walking around my DW and I noticed lots of staple heads in the carpet. We suspect these are from the plastic film that was used to protect the carpet while it was on the...

    New Owner / Maiden Voyage

    Took our new 2013 Landmark Rushmore out for a three day weekend to Lost Dutchman State Park. Had trip planned for several weeks and almost canceled because of rainy weather. Ended up going since it doesn't rain often in Arizona and thought it would be a good test. We had a great weekend...

    Concerns with Landmark Sequoia

    Hi, I'm looking at purchasing a very reasonably priced new 2013 Landmark Sequoia. I have a couple of concerns and was hoping for some expert thoughts/opinions. There are three problems with the rig (and other minor ones). 1) The entry door is bowed such that it can only be closed from the...
