    Furnace not working

    Believe that my blower/fan has died. Over the last month the furnace would come on, if I have not used the furnace in hours, it would work fine, but if it comes on and off regularly, you can hear the blower struggle. Occasionally it would stop, I would have to turn the power off at the...

    Arrived at a campground near the Great Sand Dunes. Started the auto leveling and noticed hydraulic fluid squirting onto the ground at the middle, door side leg.

    Bad wheel service day

    While at Grand Junction, discovered a broken spring on my Heartland, which caused undue wear on tires on the passenger side. Bought four new G114 at a tire shop then went to another store to get a new spring. The shop took off all four tires so they could realign the axle, which was slightly...

    When is windy, too windy?

    Not sure if this is the right thread, but currently at the Mayport Naval Station Campground right on the water and was pretty windy after a cold front went through (25 mph gusts to 32 mph) and obviously in a RV you really notice it, which got me thinking. With slide toppers, satellite dish, and...

    "Cheap Heat" furnace

    Purchased our Landmark in March and had the "Cheap Heat" stystem installed. The times the we used it in the spring it worked perfectly. However, now that it has gotten colder here in the mountains of NC, we turned the furnace on and all that comes out is air when on the "Cheap Heat" mode. When I...

    Travelling with a large RV

    Years ago, I drove in a car on some winding roads with fairly sharp turns in the mountains of North Carolina that I would be somewhat hesitant to use for an RV. Now that I have started fulltiming with a Landmark and will be travelling all over the States, I assume that there are certain roads...

    The different sounds of living in an RV - and your interactions with animals.

    As a newbie to the world of living in an RV, I found that there are different sounds, or level of sounds to get use to. Some are obvious such as the water pump, a louder AC (compared to our S&B). Some I found interesting like how loud rain sounds on hitting the roof, and some takes a while to...

    What are common problems to check for after towing?

    Pick-up our Grand Canyon a few weeks ago and towed it 400 miles home. We had a couple of minor issues after towing. Nuts holding both lamp shades over island came off (only found one) and plumbing under kitchen sink came loose, which cause some minor leaking under sink (was not a problem when we...

    Hybrid furnace

    Has anyone had any experience using the "Cheap Heat" hybrid furnace? I have seen it offered and am considering it as an dealer add-on at RV's For Less. But, since it is a relatively new thing I was wondering if anyone has used it. Seems like a good idea especially for places that do not charge...

When we start full-timing in about 5 months we will be bringing two bikes, what is the best way to bring the bikes? I would assume some sort of a bike...

    Have spent the past month or so trying to decide on which RV to buy to fulltime with my wife. I have been looking at Excel, DRV, and did not focus on Landmark since in RV Consumer Group it was not listed as recommended for fulltiming. But after seeing the Monterey listed at a Camping World site...
