You have all given me good information. As a result I will do more research on the different systems available for my Landmark. It is interesting to hear all of the "promises" from a salesperson on what a product can do. That is why I posted this question on our forum to get advice and...

I have installed the wet bolt kit from Morryde. The shocks on my Landmark are worn out and thus I am considering installing the Morryde sre4000 suspension system instead of the new shocks. Has anyone had any experience or knowledge with or about the system from Morryde? Would I be better off...

Hi Dan, First of I want to thank you for all of the help that you give all of us. Obviously, you have an innate mechanical aptitude and are willing to help everyone on this forum. I am certain many, many others echo my sentiments. Based on your advice I checked the valves. I found the...

When I open one of my hydraulic slides or use my front hydraulic jacks my two entry side middle and rear jacks extend as well. When this occurs the slides extend and retract very slowly. Valve problem? Any ideas/solutions?

Morris and Sally Eagleman will attending arriving 6/10/20 and departing on 6/17/20. Landmark Grand Canyon. HOC #2927.

I don't believe that this is an issue with most other manufacturers. If you look at the Grand Design underbelly you will see one that is nice and tight and has a metal seam that goes around the entire perimeter of the unit. It is far superior to the one on my Landmark. I had to spend a couple...

My 2015 Landmark Grand Canyon started getting tiny paint bubbles on the baggage doors, one propane door, and a small area on the slide. Per 2 different RV body shops they said the cause was a poor prep at the factory. Has anyone else had this or a similar paint problem? The cost of the repair...

I did not shorten the cable but somewhat followed the same route. The original cable had too tight of a bend and was not secured at any point. It was certainly not installed at the factory following Valterra's installation instructions. With my re-route and anchoring the cable the valve opens...

Good friends of mine just traded their Big Horn for a new Grand Design Solitude due to similar problems. Per the couple "there is a day and night difference in the quality control." They told me that they have had very few warranty issues and the few they did have were only cosmetic on the new...

Sorry my response is late on this thread...I to had a big issue with the underbelly filling with water while driving on rain soaked roads. I could not get Heartland to deal with this problem. In fact, even with pictures and sending them copies of Heartland owner experiencing the same problems...

I dropped the underbelly and took off the valve. I was surprised to find out that the cable is 120 inches (10 feet) long. The valve cable mechanism is facing the back of the coach and has a long loop. I considered replacing it with an electric valve, but an RV repair places strongly...

The valve is very hard to close. I have to push and pull several times to get it to close. I don't know if it is the cable or the valve causing the problem. I called Heartland and they told me that on my unit the valve is a Valtarra. I will replace valve and the cable since I will be removing...

Thank you. I keep the RV at my sons house which is in the rural country. The nearest RV parts dealer is well over an hour drive from his place. I was hoping to have the parts before I started this repair. I will probably do my "best guess" on the cable length and order it knowing that I...

Does anyone know the length of the cable that is used on a 2014 Landmark Grand Canyon black tank? I know that this is a long shot, but if anyone has the information i would appreciate a response. Thank you.

Hopefully we will be able to play locally, but I am willing to travel to play in Sacramento.

Count me in. I would love to play. Are there courts available where we can play without the local group? If there are courts available there might be enough of us to have a few matches. I would be willing to drive to other cities if they have dedicated pickleball courts open to the public if...

I would love to play Pickleball during the rally. I like to play singles or doubles and will make time to play on any or all days during the rally. I'm playing in a tournament in Salem right before our trip to the rally. Morris Eagleman

Thank you for responding. The bulbs are good and his truck has power to the tail light and running light pin in the connector. He is going to check the cord and junction box that is close to the king pin then go from there. - - - Updated - - - On a side note...we currently own a Landmark...

A friend just called me while traveling in Arizona. He asked for help regarding his 2013 Bighorn fifth wheel. It seems that his tail lights are not working but his running lights are. I believe that both are on the same circuit from the plug in pin. Any ideas and/or suggestions?

I took my California Class A driving test about a year ago. In California they make it difficult. First you have to take a written test to get a permit then you have to schedule the driving test at a Class A testing center and show up with a CDL driver along with you. The testing center was a...

Congratulations! My wife and I own a 2014 Grand Canyon. After a rough first year with ours it has become the favorite RV we have owned after we took care of the problems. The floor plan is very nice and it is comfortable to stay in when we travel to the desert for a portion of the winter. It...

It is beautiful! I live in Mt. Shasta and see it all of the time. I've climbed it over 10 times during my 20 years living in the city. The views, clouds around the mountain, and moonlit nights are special. When you reach the summit it seems like you can see forever. Due to many reasons my...

Mine is a rail mount.

As part of my research I spoke to a representative at the Demco manufacturing plant who broke the weight down for me. I purchased it through Etrailer for $483 with free shipping and no tax.

It is 96 pounds total weight, but it easily come apart in up to 3 sections with the removal of pins that slide out. For myself I will remove the unit in 2 sections. It is very easy and fast. The towing capacity is 21000 pounds and the tongue weight is up to 5200 pounds. It has very nice wrap...

I installed my new Demco Recon fifth wheel hitch. You are right it is easy to install and remove with just one person. I hooked up my fifth wheel and the connection was solid and no chucking or unwanted movement was noticed. For those who do not need a slider hitch the Demco Recon is a very...

Thank you for the reply. I am going to order one. I really like what you said about how it comes apart in 3 sections. It should be easy to remove and install with just one person. Again, thank you for answering my questions. Morris

I am considering purchasing a Demco Recon fifth wheel hitch, does anyone have any experience with this hitch? It is a fairly new design.

I am surprised that Heartland would not replace the breaker with an 80A one. My 2014 Landmark was having the same problem and not just in cold weather. Heartland had the dealer replace the 50A breaker with an 80A breaker and paid for the breaker and installation. The Heartland representative...

It is described in Trailer Life magazine and on the internet. Entregra motor homes, Lance, Coachman, higher end Forest River products, and other manufacturers are beginning to use it as a superior product. I was speaking to The RV Factory regarding their Luxe fifth wheels. They reported that...

High end manufacturers are beginning to use Azdel in the side walls instead of luan products. Azdel is is stronger, lighter, and impervious to water intrusion which would stop delamination problems. When will Landmark begin using a product such as Azdel? I know that when I begin looking for...

Re: No Landmarks ???? Hi Rod, Thank you for clarifying why Happy Daze decided to stop selling Landmarks in the Sacramento area. I imagine that in the RV industry there are many reasons why a dealership will stop selling one brand and move on to another.

Re: No Landmarks ???? I've been told by several dealers now that they find Heartland difficult to work with and have stopped carrying their products. In fact I was told by an attendee at the Jackson Racheria RV rally for Heartland owners that the Happy Daze RV dealership brought a DRV as a...

Your experience sounds like mine. The first year my Landmark was at the RV repair shop more than it was in use. I believe that Heartland has a poor quality assurance program and controls. Based on all of my issues a very good friend of mine chose SOB after seeing all of my issues. He...

My furnace was acting like yours. It eventually stopped working altogether. I checked the breakers and made sure that the thermostat was "calling" for heat. I had power to the circuit board but no power exiting the board. I took the circuit board off and went to an RV center in Medford...

I agree that there is a general lack of quality workmanship and quality assurance at the factory. I've had a lot of problems that was due to poor manufacturing and lack of adequate quality control. As I've said before in the forum this is my favorite fifth wheel as far as comfort and floor...

I had new floors installed by a company that specializes in RV upgrades. They told me that the best protection is to use "carpet runners" and use them when bring in the slides. I went to Lowe's and purchased the runners and cut them with scissors to cover areas where the slide might rub on the...

In addition to the card you can download the Lowe's app on your phone. At the register they will scan the bar code from your phone. On your receipt it will thank you for your service and show the 10% discount.

The problem list does not surprise me at all. I have found the general lack of quality to be abysmal. I believe that you will find many Heartland owners who have had many of the same problems. Just read through the forums. Until we can get a "consumer Reports" for RV's where we can compare...

Whenever I drove in the rain I had a huge amount of water in the underbelly of my Landmark. Three different dealers said it was a problem that needed to be fixed. Heartland refused to deal with it under warranty. I copied numerous post of owners complaining about this problem. They did not...
