    Replacing theater seating in our Ashland

    I would encourage anyone to look elsewhere for replacement furniture (if not under HL warranty). Saying the HL furniture is junk is an understatement. One of our recliners had a broken back when we took delivery. It was replaced free with no problems, of course. However, seeing how poorly...

    Numerous Problems - Time to Vent (And a bit of rant, sorry)

    Not surprising at all. We thought the same - that we were moving up in quality. That turned out not to be quite true. Our list includes fridge failures, tank leaks, and delamination, plus all of the "little stuff." I sold my SOB because I no longer had confidence in it. I will say that...

    BAL spare carrier

    I know the topic has been brought up before, but since it's been a while, here's a reminder: make sure you can release the spare tire carrier before you really need it! I went to check the spare tire pressure and the handle would not rotate. It was seized up big time. WD-40 did nothing. Knob...

    Delam on bedroom slide?

    Thanks. Mine was separated just like your picture. I've recaulked it for now and will see if it holds. If not, I'll have to figure out how to adjust the slide.

    Delam on bedroom slide?

    Funny that you mention that. Based on where the bubbles are, I was wondering if somehow water could get up into that area. I will check for what you have described. Did your's progress up the wall? My concern is that even if I recaulk a problem area, the delamination will continue now that...

    Delam on bedroom slide?

    After 4 RVs (all SOB) without any roof or sidewall issues, I think it's my turn to suffer. Based on what I've heard, I believe these bubbles on my bedroom slide are delamination. From what I've heard, water is the most common cause, but I am stumped as to how water has gotten into a wall that...

    Insulation in underbelly?

    Here is one suggestion. https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/59247-Underbelly-Repairs?p=479734&viewfull=1#post479734 I did a search for "insulation" and found some other good ideas too. For me, whatever I use will have to be water proof/resistant as these rigs all eventually get water...

    Insulation in underbelly?

    Thanks jesstalkn....I just came back inside after one more check of all the vent pipes' connections, and I see nothing amiss. I did find the studor valve under the bedroom sink was not screwed in firmly. Is that supposed to be threaded all the way down tight, or is it supposed to be only part...

    Insulation in underbelly?

    I am searching for the source of some foul odors in my rig. Narrowed it down to the gray tank for the bedroom sinks and the shower. Still trying to figure out why it smells bad - bad vent pipe connection maybe. No signs of leaks anywhere at all. Anyway, when I dropped the coroplast to look...

    Question about landmark sewer & grey waterer pipes under rig

    Eric, I have a 2015 San Antonio and the pipes and the outlet are low. When I saw the new 365's, the pipes looked even lower. That said, I've never scraped nor hit them on anything. However, this is my 4th fiver (all others were SOBs) and the Landmark is the lowest by far. In fact I've been...

    Shower door replacement

    Has anyone replaced the flimsy, impossible to clean clear shower doors on their rig? I found raindrop sliding doors at Lowe's that will fit and it looks like a simple remove and replace, caulk, and hit the road? Am I missing anything? I'm thinking some wood bars in the track will keep them...

    Uncomfortable with Pre-delivery inspection :(

    Our dealer did the same thing with the PDI - still winterized, not hooked up to water, etc. I guess most folks must accept it that way. However, our dealer did have it set up so we could spend the night at a campground across the road and a time we could meet with a tech the next day for tweaks...

    Potential new owner - What issues have current Landmark 365 owners had?

    While I don't have the 365, I did purchase a new 2015 San Antonio last February, so some of the workmanship and fit and finish issues that affected my rig could certainly replicate themselves in the 365 I would imagine. So here we go... Both recliners had cracked backs and had to be replaced...

    Water Pooling in Underbelly

    I have the exact same problem, same spot, so I am curious to see what you discover. My fresh water tank has been empty all year, so it's not an overflow problem. The belly has been cut open and dropped so many times for other repairs, that I am guessing maybe water gets in while driving in the...

    How Far Can I Go on Reduced Power due to DEF issue?

    That's the part that bothers me the most. Hey, I am all for clean air - it's kind of nice to be able to breathe! But the fact that the US gov't mandates that my truck automatically reduce power when an emissions code is tripped is beyond reasonable. Talk about police state! If my vehicle...

    How Far Can I Go on Reduced Power due to DEF issue?

    Trust me, that was my fear! I was expecting the worst, but was pleasantly surprised. We left at 11 AM for the 2 1/2 hour, 115 mile trip home. The "poor quality" light remained on until the 210 mile point from when it first illuminated. At that point, the DIC said "55 mph limit upon next...

    How Far Can I Go on Reduced Power due to DEF issue?

    Actually this truck has been flawless the first 4.5 years I've owned it, but I am a bit concerned after reading of all the emissions related issues online. So have later models fixed the problems with the system?

    How Far Can I Go on Reduced Power due to DEF issue?

    Dan, Thanks. My manual did not specify the part about the "next engine start" so in theory I will be OK. Also, I think you are right about the code readers. I was able to talk to two dealerships were we are and both stated that they couldn't just clear the code for me, even if they could get...

    How Far Can I Go on Reduced Power due to DEF issue?

    MTPockets - the tank is full. This a Poor Quality warning, not a Low Quantity issue. But I did top it off with new fluid just to be sure. Took 2 gallons.

    How Far Can I Go on Reduced Power due to DEF issue?

    Need some help please! We are out on a 10 day trip and I was so happy that for the first time in 6 trips in our new Landmark nothing has broken, leaked, failed, torn, collapsed, or otherwise caused issues! (We've had a very rough start with this new 2015 - different story!) So.....as we were...

    First trip - a bit rough!

    Just an update, as the fridge issue is finally resolved [knocks on wood]. Two days before we departed for a 1 week trip (Aug 2-9) in the NC mtns, I went and flipped on the propane for the fridge....and no cool down after over 24 hours. In fact, it was up to 95* inside the fridge. So, I loaded...

    First trip - a bit rough!

    Thanks. I saw that too. My fridge is not in that group. I tried Norcold again. They are happy to recommend a mobile tech, but at my cost for the service call. I called one tech and it was $160 for the first 30 minutes. I can buy a lot of propane for that, so I will wait until I take it...

    First trip - a bit rough!

    Dan - I agree it is puzzling. The tech had me feel the electrical elements myself and they were hot. So one would think that heat would act just like the propane heat and do what it is supposed to do. Yes, the techs at this dealer are always overloaded, it seems, and I don't think he really...

    First trip - a bit rough!

    No, not on AC. LP cools the fridge to 37-39 on a warm day and the freezer to 10-12 degrees. On AC, nothing. No codes are tripped either (Norcold 1210). This is a new problem, btw. On the first trip in March, on a cool day, the fridge was freezing things when on the coldest setting on AC...

    First trip - a bit rough!

    Update to my continued saga....I have now owned this rig 5 months at it has been in for repairs 3 times, totaling over 2 months. On every trip I have had something break, leak or fail. The latest involved the refrigerator not cooling on AC power. It works fine on propane, but not AC. We were...

    First trip - a bit rough!

    Thanks Dan and Fred. I am going to go directly to Heartland once this trip is over (which may be sooner than I wanted). I just put about a mile of stretch and seal tape on the leak behind the UDC (it's at the 3 way connection) and it has reduced it to a very slow drip - manageable. So right...

    First trip - a bit rough!

    From bad to worse.... OK, got my rig back from the dealer last Friday, supposedly fixed. Took 5 weeks (I won't even begin to go into the comedy of errors during that time). Departed for a 3 week trip on Monday and the grey water was leaking again within 24 hours. Add to that a water leak...

    First trip - a bit rough!

    I appreciate the inputs. Dropped it off today at the dealer with a list of mostly nuisance fixes and the bigger furniture and tank issues. They seem very proactive and willing to make everything right. Hopefully all will go well, though it will be a month before we get it back. I will keep in...

    First trip - a bit rough!

    Let me start by saying this is not a thread for me to vent - I have had 5 RVs and I know things will go wrong. Instead, I am looking for advice/suggestions on a number of issues. Five weeks after picking up our 2015 San Antonio, we finally got to take a trip in it. It did not start well...

    Recliner position when traveling?

    Vince/Debbi, By forward, do you mean facing out into the living room, or facing the front of the coach? Thanks for the help!

    Recliner position when traveling?

    Hello everyone, I need some help regarding how to position the recliners in our San Antonio when traveling. I believe they were back to back and wedged all the way back against the side wall when we picked it up. However, when I try that, it causes the front of the aft-most recliner to come...

    What's your favorite carry weapon?

    For 20 years my weapon of choice was the F-15E Strike Eagle. Favorite load was 7 MK-84 2000 lb bombs - lots of boom and made the bad guys think twice about staying in the fight. However, laser guided 500 pounders were a better choice for precision and stand-off. Kind of like the difference...

    RV Dump & Gen Exhaust Lines

    I also feel the outlet for the dump is very low. In fact, while I was shopping for a new fifth wheel this winter I noticed the Landmarks looked much lower than any other brand, especially the SOB I was about to trade in. It was so noticeable that I even asked a couple of salesmen if anyone had...

    Bathroom Backsplash

    Thanks for the idea. I can't believe in this gorgeous rig HL put a cheap "cardboard" backsplash that looks so hideous. During our PDI on Tuesday we noticed it was buckled. Dealer offered to repair it, but DW asked about other options, as she hated the backsplash at first sight. So I will...

    Got our new San Antonio!

    We got it!! Our new 2015 San Antonio. PDI went well, though it wasn't fun doing it in 22 degree cold. Spent the night at a nearby campground, going over everything with a fine toothed comb. I then returned this morning to get two minor things corrected - one piece of loose trim on the...

    Insulating Outdoor Entertainment Center?

    Thanks Jim. I enjoy projects like that. Made multiple changes/improvements on my last SOB and got things just like I wanted....and then I saw a Landmark in a campground. The rest, as they say.....

    Insulating Outdoor Entertainment Center?

    Jim - thanks for the quick reply! One thing I have noticed and been most impressed with in my short time on this forum is how quickly questions get answered. I will definitely give your idea a try. And for the record, the rest of the coach is absolutely toasty. The furnace ran a while to get...
