Probably going to be new tire time for my truck in the next few months or so. I know a good many folks including myself are using Sailuns on their trailers, but can't think of anyone who is using them on their trucks. I am very pleased with the Sailuns on my trailer and was wondering how they...

The sofa in my 2015 Landmark manufactured in April of 2014 decided to start it's expected disintegration process about 2 months ago so I have started looking for a replacement. RecPro looks like it may be one of the best sources for a new sofa. I ordered fabric samples so I could see what...

My Good Sam Roadside Assist is renewing in a couple of months and I have been thinking about dropping it and changing to a AAA Premier RV Policy. Has anyone had any experience with the AAA policy, good or bad?

Please say a prayer for our friends Dave and Kathy Tyler. They had gone to Via Acuna, Mexico across from Del Rio, TX via a charter bus from Post, TX for Kathy to get some dental work done and while in the dental office she must have had some sort of seizure. My understanding is they had to...

Heading from Central Texas to New Bern, NC for Thanksgiving. Planning on traveling about 300 miles per day and have all stops planned (easy in and out over nighters) except for around Atlanta and Florence, SC. Will be traveling on I-20 and would like a park not too far off I-20. A park on the...

This question has nothing to do with RVing unless there is a very positive end result and then I can see a Big Horn/Landmark dealer and a Ford truck dealer being very happy. I, like probably everyone else on this forum, are always getting notices from Publisher's Clearing House that if we will...

I have been receiving the Publisher's Clearing House contest offers for years and they use to want you to purchase magazines, so I figured that was how they made their money. Now I am always receiving an offer of something like $25,000 a month for life, but there is nothing said about...

Had a new set of Sailuns installed on my Landmark this morning and when the two rear tires were removed, they showed fairly severe wear on the inside of both tires. This leads me to believe I am the proud owner of a bent rear axle. Now, the decision is, straighten the existing axle or purchase...

A few minutes ago Dolly was partaking in an exercise (chasing her tail) that she does at home all the time but seldom in the trailer. Thank goodness I was here in the trailer with her when she caught the toes on her left rear foot in the grill of the heater floor register. It took a few...

Does anyone know what gauge battery cable Heartland uses to connect the two house batteries together when used for a residential refrigerator? All that I found at O'Riley's was 4 Ga and that just does not seem heavy enough.

I have two batteries in my front compartment, and of course they are in a box with a vent to the outside of the bottom of the trailer from the bottom of the box and also a hose from the top of the cover of the box to an outside vent above the compartment door. I understand why you would need...

The lock on the front battery/generator compartment of my 2015 Landmark Grand Canyon appears to be broken and it looks like it will have to be drilled out and replaced. Rather than replace it with another CH751 lock that everyone and their dog has, I am thinking this might be a good time to...

I am having low flow/water pressure problems at the RV park I am now at, have taken my sediment filter and water softener out of line, and had better pressure for awhile, but now it is back low. I really think my adjustable water pressure regulator is part of the problem, but hesitate to stop...

I came home from a camping trip yesterday and discovered my residential refrigerator had fallen half out of the slide and was leaning on the wall of the "closed" dining room slide. I pushed it back into the slide and my neighbor Keith (Cage47) who also has a 2015 Landmark discovered that two...

I was reading the Birthday wishes that were sent to "Lil Guy" in another thread for his 68th birthday yesterday and got to thinking, 68 is so 10 years ago. I am 939 months old and try to make every rally that I can get to. Made me start to wonder, how many active RVers (driving your self...

Was surfing around and decided to check my local Austin Landmark dealer, Explore USA, and see what Landmarks they currently have in stock. Discovered they have none, and so I looked state wide, they have about 9 locations in Texas, and they have no new Landmarks in inventory any where, strange...

I arrived at an RV park this afternoon after a drive down a rather rough highway and found that one of the decorative glass mirrors in one of my sliding closet doors had popped out and broken inside the closet. On inspection, I found that all that was holding it on to the door was small metal...

My 2015 F350 DRW has about 32,500 miles on it. I noticed my front tires are beginning to wear on the sides just slightly, and decided this would be a good time to rotate tires. Discount Tire rotated/crossed only the two front tires at 16,225 miles so I went back to them to find out about doing...

A lot of you around Texas have gotten to know Kathy and Dave Tyler from Post in the last couple of years and are aware that Kathy has been suffering from what they think is a severe and very painful case of shingles around her eyes since around the end of last September. I just received a text...

A few months ago, I purchased a new to me 2015 Landmark Grand Canyon that has almost everything I could want on it, except a sliding storage tray. Based on storage compartment opening width on the "door side" of about 57" and opening width on the driver's side of about 40.5", I am thinking I...

I am in Ruidoso until August 3rd then heading to Santa Fe for a couple of nights and then on into Colorado on Friday the 5th and working my way up to Jackson, WY. I am not in any hurry to get to Jackson, was thinking about going through Buena Vista for a few days and then on up. Are there any...

I have a 2014 3300ML Gateway with the basic 2 door residential refrigerator in it and am thinking about possibly doing some boondocking in Colorado this summer. Of course, I have never boondocked before and at this point, I have neither solar collectors or a generator and was wondering if...

I ran across this posting about someone's 9 year old SOB that had the pin box almost tear off the frame while driving slowly through an RV Park. The pictures will almost make your blood run cold. http://goodestudio.com/a-very-different-kind-of-journey/

I just dropped my trailer at a dealer's for some service work and while there, I picked up a brochure on nitrogen (NitroFill) instead of compressed air for tire inflation. Is any one using it, about what does it cost for 4 tires, and is it worth the cost? I know my car has it as the dealer is...

Since the Ashland and Key West models have been discontinued, has anyone heard what will replace them? The Big Country 4010RD and the Big Horn 3970RD seem to be fairly popular, I am wondering if Landmark will introduce a similar plan. Has anyone heard any rumors?

Here are a few ideas of some possible activities to do at the next Heartland rally. https://www.facebook.com/clive.co.uk/videos/10201124034458859/

As most of my friends know, I am not the best at backing my trailer, so I took a course. Here is a video of me taking my final exam in backing. Be sure and watch all of it because at the end, you will learn how I was taught to back this well. :o http://www.chonday.com/Videos/trailerghu4

I used my Gateway over the New Year's weekend and when I drained my tanks I checked the sensors and they all showed empty except the fresh water tank and it showed full. I figured this was a bad sensor since I never use it because I am always in a park with water hook ups. This afternoon I...

The "D" shaped gasket in the channel at the top of my main slide creeps "forward" :confused: when towing the trailer on the highway. Have tried to slide it back into the channel several times and hold it in place with a screw and large flat washer over the edge of the "flat" side of the...

I have been procrastinating getting valve stem extenders for the dual rear wheels on my 2015 Ford F350 and have now heard about the Crossfire Tire Pressure Equalizers. I would be interested in comments, pro or con, from people who are or have used the pressure equalizers. In a way, they seem...

Camco developed this new electronic tank monitoring system back in very early April. Does anyone know if Heartland will be installing them in their new 2017 trailers and 5th wheels. https://www.facebook.com/CamcoRV/videos/940841362616670/

I went to the Eye Doctor on March 10th and got a new glasses Rx. I have been having the prescriptions filled at the Sam's Club Optical close to my old house for the last several years. Last year, I got one complete pair of new glasses, lens and frames. On the 10th, I took the new Rx to the...

Was going around to some of the local truck dealers this morning kicking tires on their dullys. While visiting with one of the Ram managers, he kept talking about Ram's "Auto Level Rear Air Suspension System". I haven't shopped for a TV in about 8 years and had not heard of it. Do any of you...

I saw an ad for Good Sam Travel Assist and it got me to thinking, maybe I should look into something like this. I am planning on an extended trip this summer with my cocker spaniel and while she can be good company, I don't think she would be much help in an emergency. I had a friend who had...

I currently have a Reese Sliding 16K hitch in my pickup, and while there was some chucking and bumping with my old SOB, there was not near as much as I get with my new Gateway. I had just about decided to put a Mor/ryde pin box on the trailer and see if that would help. But before I got around...

A welcome addition would be a magnet on the door that opens the UDC compartment similar to the one that holds the storage door open on the curb side of the coach. One part of the magnet would have to be on the door to the propane tank compartment, but that would not bother me. When I have that...
