    Inverter Transfer Switch

    I recently had an issue on my 2015 Landmark where the residential refrigerator would shut off by itself. It was the only piece of equipment in the RV that wasn't working while on 120V shore power. The issue was difficult to diagnose because the power would come back on it's own before you...

    Closet Flange

    I have a feeling this is exactly what I'll be doing before it's all said and done. I tried, unsuccessfully, to move the flange when I had the toilet up originally. It didn't budge. I can't imagine what I'll see when Heartland provides the part info. Regardless, I'm fairly sure I can access...

    Closet Flange

    Thanks for some of your thoughts. As I mentioned, I'm on a short pause until I get some more information from Heartland. I have seen a few videos and other posts talking about "RV toilet flange" removal. One in particular at https://thecampingadvisor.com/change-rv-toilet-flange/#tab-con-8...

    Closet Flange

    Sorry, no pictures possible right now. I don't want to remove the toilet before I get the parts to fix it because I know the toilet flange is cracked in multiple places on the right front because I just did a band aid fix to get to my next spot. We'd seen some water on the floor and found it...

    Closet Flange

    I have a 2015 Landmark Savannah with a damaged closet flange. Does anyone know if it's a glued ABS or a threaded piece?

    Landmark Bedroom Slide from Norco

    So I've been fighting a leaking slide in my bedroom for about 2-years now. Nothing major, but water was dripping from the cable system that is hidden behind the interior slide trim. We typically put a washcloth underneath the pully to catch water drips to keep the carpet and subfloor from...

    Water leaking from pin box / front cap

    At the time of the photo, it was still dripping some. I've noticed it on two other occasions while here in TN. No rain or standing water on the roof, but I'd see small drips coming from the pinbox. I fully believe its condensation inside the cap. So the question is, what will Heartland do to...

    Water leaking from pin box / front cap

    Any way to lessen the impact? Only other thing I can imagine is putting vent openings inside the closet, but I doubt that would create enough air flow to eliminate the moisture.

    Water leaking from pin box / front cap

    I have a 2015 Heartland Landmark Savannah parked under a metal shelter that's leaking water from the front cap right at the opening to the pin box connection. I've seen another thread at https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/69628-Front-cap-question that mentioned leaking water lines and...

    ATF: Landmark - bedroom slide seals

    Just had mine replaced at Charger RV in Elkhart, IN. Cost me ~$800 and it took 4-hours to complete. I chose Charger because it's right next door to the slide manufacturer, so they came over and adjusted the cables on the slide and made sure everything was good to go. The final piece is they...

    Water Filtration System

    We really like the quality of the filter. I installed the larger home version, so it's good for 10K gallons of water. I replace filters annually to insure quality. No noticible drop in water pressure caused by the system that I've experienced. Drinking water gets filtered by installed system and...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: OH, Brookville - 8/19/2016 to 8/21/2016

    Thank you Bob and Connie. Julie and I had a great time at our first rally. We look forward to meeting up at future events and I'll be sure to bring more ones for the early-bird fire sale! Hopeful we can work a plan to hit the North Central Regional rally in SD in Sep 17. Safe travels and...

    Valor TPMS -Don Rigby

    Good to see others having the same experience with Don and his representation of Valor. Wish more companies and representatives had the same level of effort and support as Don. He has been exceptional in our dealings over the past 2-years. Great work Don!

    Leak on Ice Maker Line at Drain Valve

    Picked it up at Lowe's. http://www.lowes.com/pd_247004-59288-98518___?productId=3190901&pl=1&Ntt=ice+maker+line

    Leak on Ice Maker Line at Drain Valve

    I'd consider removing all of the poly line and the drain valve too and replace with upgraded braided line. I just did this on my Landmark based on number of leaks others had experienced with their rigs over time. Took ~30 min to remove the fridge, pull the new line through, and move fridge...

    Things I learned at our "Latest" NASCAR camp out

    Dover was a frog strangler this year. We didn't make the trip, but my brother-in-law and several other regulars got in too deep. They had an enormous farm tractor pull them out.

    Build Quality

    Sounds like SOB approach is flawed too. Post-manufacturing inspection is bad $$ after good $$. The Twenty-four dedicated quality control technicians combing over 200 PDI inspection points on the exterior and interior of the coach to test for, pinpoint and fix any flaws is a Band Aid on a...

    Build Quality

    This thread is sad. It highlights why America is a second rate nation in the world today. The whole mantra of "we suck less" than the next builder is a sorry perspective to bring to the market. Guess the attitude is why we lose manufacturing jobs overseas daily...they can perform the same...

    WiFI Ranger Go2 indoor router, Elite outdoor router and Verizon USB U620L modem install + cell antenna

    Do you plan on using an amplifier kit with the Pepwave? I've been trying to find information on input power restrictions to the Pepwave and haven't had any luck. Any tech specs you'd be willing to share on the MAX-BR1-LTE is appreciated. I was looking to add the Drive 4G-X to the mix, but the...

    Fluid Film believer here. Put it on first year owning rig. No rust on the frame at all. I touch up annually now. Great product and well worth the cost.

    Space under steps for shoes?

    I hear rodent proofing the rig is an ongoing battle from many FT. Guess that's a price we pay for getting closer to nature...sometimes it wants to be inside too.

    Space under steps for shoes?

    First pic is straight on with finished look. This will help set the reference. Opening is big enough for sandals and tennis shoes. Not going to try fitting a pair of boots in there, but it does work for what we wanted...get the regular shoes we wear out of the doorway. I drilled a hole...

    Space under steps for shoes?

    I just did this last week. I used dremel to cut the luan out. I used existing frame for stair as is. I placed a piece of plywood on the back side under the drawer through basement access. I then cut pre-finished stair nose to frame the opening. Wife is adding a rubber catch pan to the space...

    Disc Brake Controller

    Re: ATF: Landmark - Brake Controller Thanks for the manual Chris. Titanguy is spot on...Dexter is a 4-wire system. Guess the link to the house batteries (no separate break away battery that I'm aware of) is the important piece for failure I experienced due to low battery power and no shore or...

    Disc Brake Controller

    Re: ATF: Landmark - Brake Controller Sam confirmed that a weak, poorly charged, battery will confuse the circuit board resulting in a fault state. The hydraulic brake actuator senses a drop in power and the fault at the circuit board may cause power to be applied to the brakes. Sam did say...

    Disc Brake Controller

    Re: ATF: Landmark - Brake Controller So that's two that confirmed brakes are powered outside of cutoff switch to batteries. Also see that the propane sniffer is drawing continuous power in same manner. I can assure you, the break away pin was installed properly and not pulled. The...

    Disc Brake Controller

    Re: ATF: Landmark - Brake Controller I don't believe so. Never heard any beeps or chirps from a CO2 monitor or like in the coach over the 2-years I've owned it. I'd really have to go through and check with shore and battery power disconnected to say for sure. I haven't noticed any direct...

    Disc Brake Controller

    I had a recent incident that has me slightly confused and concerned. I went to storage to do some work on the Savannah. I didn't plug it into shore power, but I did go in and turn both battery circuits to the on position in the front compartment. I opened the dining room slide with no issue...

    poor craftmanship on cabinetry on new landmark

    It may well be a change for the good, but I can't provide personal experience since my coach was delivered in May 2014 prior to the new drawers being added. I was answering mdunsworth's query to others who'd had problems with cabinetry since he was unhappy with the quality of his rig. When...

    ATF: Landmark - Drawer support

    You're absolutely right...it's not an answer I was willing to accept. I'm handy with tools and I was prepared to fix it myself, but it's one of those things I felt worthwhile pursuing. The industry will not change if we as consumers don't make the effort to elevate expectations and hold them...

    poor craftmanship on cabinetry on new landmark

    Thanks Jim. Not that I enjoy it, but this is the type of stuff you have to embrace if you want to own an RV. I have to say though, the response from HL brand managers and the warranty department has tempered my enthusiasm on the brand. Guess I was expecting more proactive approach from the...

    poor craftmanship on cabinetry on new landmark

    I just had warranty work completed on my Landmark's drawers. I had multiple where the staples had pulled through the luan base. Guess I will not be putting any cinder blocks in the drawers as the brochure displayed. Regardless, I intervened between my service shop and HL Warranty, primarily...

    Considering a Landmark 5ver

    I've owned an old Ford with 4.10 gears and I swore I'd never own another one like it. It's great for getting the load moving, but it's terrible on the highway end and a killer on fuel. I ran that truck out in Wyoming, so I'm well aware of altitude sickness for internal combustion motors...

    Considering a Landmark 5ver

    If you're looking for consideration on hitches for the truck, consider investing in a Trailsaver TS3. I just upgraded my TV to include a TS3 and it, coupled with the factory installed MoRyde pinbox, greatly reduced the "chucking" with our Savannah. The TS3 is pricey, but I believe it dampens...

    New Hauler Bed

    My financial advisor, the DW, decided it was important to have improved access to the hitch, light harness, and gear we were trying to carry on our trips. Biggest challenge was loading and unloading the generator every time we stopped to camp. Not overly difficult to lift in my mid-40's, but I'm...

    Keeping pests out of the UDC

    I used high-density foam to make a plug with a hole in it to insert the hose and cable. I also use a plastic funnel that's been cut to fit around the hose just below the plug on the bottom of the UDC. You just cut the spout of the funnel to match the hose diameter and then slice the funnel...
