    Watch your toes around the stove!

    The accident: Jayne got her middle toe pretty well crunched by the decorative Corian stove cover in our 2008 Landmark Cape Cod. There is a peculiarity in the design that is not immediately obvious, so let me advise you to read this and watch out in working around the stove when the decorative...

    Where near Chicago?

    Okay, all you Chicagoans, I need to attend a trade show next week at McCormick and would like to haul up instead of flying this time. My wife and I want to spend a little time (and money) seeing the sites. Are there any secret campgrounds nearer to Chicago than what I see in the major...

    Deer Run RV Resort, Crossville, Tennessee

    I stumbled into this beautiful campground located only about thirty miles from my house when I was doing a shakedown on the new Landmark. It is in the process of being resurrected from an old Thousand Trails membership resort, but it is now a private campground open to the public. They have a 25...

    wall receptacle in the kitchen

    In our 2008 Cape Cod, the two overhead receptacles are okay for some things, but the height to the bottom of the cabinet is too long for some things. If I plug in my toaster, it looks like a possom hanging by the tail. A can opener is out of the question. I fished a wire from the overhead...

    Unique New Mattress Idea

    This is the final installation to a thread I started a few days ago titled King to Queen Too: a Bed Conversion in the Modifications (General) Forum. In those two posts I showed how I converted a king size bed to queen in my 2008 Landmark Cape Cod. Here I want to show the conclusion to that...

    King to Queen Too: A Bed Conversion

    In January, 2008, the best deal we found on a 2008 Landmark Cape Cod included a king-size bed. Well, not actually a 76”, full-width, according-to-the-law king—actually 70” wide by (standard) 80” long—but still too wide to suit my wife and me. Especially too wide to provide adequate room on the...

    Overall Heartland Service

    This is one of the most amazing things to me! An RV manufacturer actually engaging the customers. Folks, I've got to tell you, it was not this way with my previous rig made by a major coach manufacturer. They did not have a customer service number and made it clear that the customer was to...

    Fresh water tank fill

    I have a new Landmark Cape Cod and only on my second shakedown camping run. I find it almost impossible to get water into the fresh water tank (tanks?). In my last visit to the dealer to fix a few bugs from the first shakedown, I mentioned this and they told me I probably had some water trapped...
