I guess Tom is no longer monitoring this forum, or he's been on a really long vacation.

Tom, would it be possible to get the paint codes for the Newport colors? I could take the time and paint the slide sides myself. I think it would be worth the effort and really look good, to boot.

I'll have to research that. Thanks a bunch for the info.

If I can get everything I want, sans an IS, for the price point I'm looking for, what's another $5600? From what I've read, it's well worth the money. And that's if it's not an option. I would expect the price would not be that much, as I wouldn't be throwing away two 8,000 lb. axles...

To say that I'm impressed with what I've seen so far from Landmark would be an understatement. This is the first coach that I've felt really good about when I walked inside. I know that's shallow, but what the heck. I hope you're able to get that MOR/ryde IS as an option sometime in the next...

Thanks, Tom. That's good information to have.

Thanks, Jim. I believe that would solve the problem of mounting anything on the roof.

Thanks! I must be sleepwalking again! I'd still like to know about the roof. I want to make sure I can mount solar panels with screws without having to find the aluminum roof rafters.

Tom, I've been looking through the Landmark 365 brochure that I picked up at the Dallas show last week, and noticed that there's nothing in it that gives the insulation values of the coach and slides, nor the construction of the walls, roof and floor. Did I miss something? I went to the...

I got an email back from MORryde yesterday saying that an upgrade to IS would be $5600, and that included disk brakes. I'll do it in a heartbeat.

Thanks for that detailed reply. Now I can see a way to get the cabling from the roof down to the battery compartment. My vent is on the street side of the coach, but I'm sure the same technique will work there, too. By the time I install my solar, make my water manifold, and have MORryde install...

Very nice write up on your installation. I'm planning on buying a new Landmark Newport and want to do a large amount of boondocking, so solar is a must. I, too, have followed the sites of Jack Meyer and Handy Bob. There's also lots of information on Technomadia's website. My question to you...

Tom, What's the main reason most manufacturers don't use a fiberglass roof? I know that by far the favorite is EPDM, followed by Alpha-Ply. Weight? Cost? It would appear to me that a solid, one-piece unit would solve a myriad of water intrusion issues. On another note, I love the...

My wife and I saw these on several coaches at the Tampa RV show. I'm really surprised they're not standard on a Landmark.

Thanks for that information. I figured there must be a vent on the roof somewhere, but I didn't climb up on the roof at the show yesterday to see for sure.

I definitely will put panels on the roof. All of the blogs and installers on solar that I follow put them there, along with adjustable legs to raise one side toward the sun during the winter. I'm looking at 1200 watts so I can be off the grid for as long as my water tanks last. That's a lot...

Hey Tom, is was nice to meet you at the Dallas RV Show today. It's always great to put a name with a face. I did think of my question for you; after we left, of course! What would be a way to get solar panel wiring from the roof to the batteries? Most people use the refrigerator vent, but...

I am SO disappointed to read of the way-too-low CCC of the Newport for my full-timing needs. I've been researching rigs for over a year so I'll be ready to buy when I retire in 1 year, 8 months, and 7 days. My wife and I saw this coach at the Tampa RV show last month and liked almost...

Thank you all for your input. I certainly feel better about making a possible choice using an I-beam frame. I appreciate the invites to your rally next month, too. I'm going to seriously consider coming to it. If I do, I'll let those of you who reached out to me know when I'm coming. Y'all...

Can outsiders just show up and talk to you all? I'd love to do that, as no one knows your rigs like you do. I'm in Fort Worth, so it's not all that far over there. I'll check into it, and thanks for the into.

Hello, all! I just attended my first RV show in Dallas on Saturday. I specifically went to see DRV and Lifestyle, as they both have boxed-steel frames. I also stopped and looked at a Bighorn and a Big Country, and I must say, was very impressed by the floor plans and the fit and finish...
