    Well… I hope you’re all happy.

    Congrats on ordering a Landmark we love ours. There is just so many items that are standard on a Landmark that are great to have and are optional on a Bighorn. We where looking at a 3750FL and bought a Landmark Newport, the extra 1/2 bath and huge master bath was the selling point. Plus a great...

    Def usage ?

    What is normal usage of DEF. In my 2015 Ram while towing it seems like you can watch the gauge go down. I only have 2800 miles on it so I am hoping that it goes down. Otherwise I am sorry I traded my 2012 in on this truck. What I have is the 2015 Ram 3500 DRW. Aisin tranny, 3.73 gears, rear...

    We are looking at the Landmark Newport as our retirement rig but worried about bad reviews on Heartland!

    We love our 2015 Landmark Newport. We Love the two bathrooms, with one being on the living, dining level. We took delivery in May and just finally went on our first trip with it to a rally in Two Harbors MN. I agree that any mass produced anything can have some problems and our trailer was no...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: MN, Two Harbors - 9/10/2015 to 9/13/2015

    Two Harbors Rally This was our first rally and we had a great time. Most of the group already knew each other, but they welcomed us in like we knew each other for years. My wife I think was maybe trying to kill me off by taking me on too difficult of a hike one of the more challenging sections...

    buying new truck need new hitch

    I bought the companion 25K hitch for my Ram with the puck system. It is beefy and I bought it from etrailer. com at the best price I could find plus free shipping. I bought several items from them. A gooseneck ball for puck system, bike carrier, and front hitch for bikes.

    LM 365 Lighted Sign - Order Form

    I am still waiting to hear about my lighted sign. We bought our trailer early April and I think I ordered the sign in May. Heard nothing, and have forgotten all about it until I read the latest reply on here. If I get one fine, if I don't I will not loose any sleep over it.

    Love my cargo box camera !

    I love my in-dash camera that shows the pickup box area. Its mounted up on rear of cab and shoots the whole box. Its really handy for backing up to 5er and The Wifes gooseneck horse trailer. Does Anybody else like that option on there Ram.

    Thoughts on adding a bed mounted tool-fuel box ?

    Thanks for all the input. The gravity systems is what I was wondering about as the pumped tanks are so expensive. And I don't have a monkey that poops money.

    Thoughts on adding a bed mounted tool-fuel box ?

    I am thinking of having a fuel-tool box added to my truck. I am not worried about a couple hundred extra pounds with a dually. Fuel stops take forever at large stations with RV lanes. I know I need to stop every once and a while but rest stops are much faster. I am looking at gravity feed tanks...

    How do you carry Kayaks ?

    I am looking for a good system for carrying kayaks either on roof of truck or anywhere. The back of trailer wont do as Kayaks are 13 ft. 6 in. long. I found a front mount hitch and Thule goal post with one roof rack. I wanted to use Thule hullavators but they dont make a rack for my my truck...

    New Decoration for Our Truck

    That looks like a great accessory for your truck. We just bought a Landmark Newport and had to change from a SRW to a 2015 DRW RAM.

    Dodge Ram 3500 Question

    I just took delivery of a 2015 3500 DRW Ram with the Aisin tranny (a $2995 option) but with that you get a higher torque engine plus if you order 3.73 gears or 4.10 gears you get a massive different rear axle with bigger gears. A 10.8 in gear instead of 10.5 in but the whole axle and pumpkin are...

    thoughts on B & W companion hitch

    Thanks for the input everyone. I think that's the one I am going to get. In looking at there website and other sellers of B&W it looks pretty massive 200+ pounds and my Reese 16000# probably weighs 80#. Plus its made in the USA by workers paying into our system.

    thoughts on B & W companion hitch

    I just took delivery of a new 3500 DWR Ram and I need a new hitch for at least 18000# for a Landmark Newport. B & W makes the companion hitch in a 25000 configuration for the Ram with the puck system. Does anyone have this and what are your likes and dislikes about it. I think it looks quite...

    Over capacity with 3500 srw

    I finally found what I want at Woodhouse in Blair NE. A 2015 3500 DRW with Aisin tranny 3.73 gears air ride rear suspension, This setup is rated for towing 23500 pounds I think that should do it, better to have more capacity than needed than not enough. It is a Laramie Longhorn with all the...

    Over capacity with 3500 srw

    TW finally agrees that we need to upgrade to a 3500 DRW RAM from a SRW to pull our Landmark Newport. Now I just have to find one. This late in the year I am almost thinking of waiting for the 2016 models and order a new one as latter year models aren't that much lower in price. When I find a...

    Landmark Newport bed

    As we were making the bed in our Newport we noticed there was an extra 2 1/2 inch loose memory foam under regular mattress. Is this for top of bed if you want a really firm (hard) bed. It may sound like a dumb question but the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. Also our Newport didn't...

    Over capacity with 3500 srw

    I think I would be overtaxing everything with my SRW 3500. Tires, rear bearings, tranny, and brakes. I had air bags put on rear axle but that is just a bandaid that will pass the buck onto something else breaking. There is also a liability on my part hauling a trailer way over my trucks capacity...

    What do you pull your NEW LM Newport with?

    I just towed our new Landmark Newport home with a 3500 SRW Dodge and was white knuckling it in a stiff headwind. Working on stepping up to a new 3500 DRW with the Aisin tranny. Then I will be good for about 37000 LBS. GCW. Don't try it with a 2500.

    Synthetic Oil

    Another one for Valvoline true blue semi-synthetic. I buy it buy the case when NAPA has it on sale. The heavier weight oil as we are now spending our winters in Florida. I am on my third diesel and only use synthetic now.

    Over capacity with 3500 srw

    We just brought home a new Landmark Newport and I think I am way over capacity with a 2012- 3500 SRW Ram. Dealer says your fine but I don't think so. 18000 GVW is dually capacity to my thinking after towing it home in a stiff headwind. How do I tell the other half we need a Max tow 3500 DRW Ram...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: MN, Two Harbors - 9/10/2015 to 9/13/2015

    We are interested in a rally and love the North Shore. Hawk Ridge migration is going on trees are all turning. What else do you guys do at a rally. We just got back from three months in a small 5er and bought a Landmark Newport Friday so that would be another good little trip before Florida.

    New Newport owner

    Friday we bought a new Landmark Newport. Honestly we just went to look at it but the deal was to good to let go so we pulled the trigger and bought it. He beat anyones price buy 5K and was very good to work with. We are looking foreword to picking it up this week but I am thinking of adding the...

    Dishwasher in Landmark

    I have found a Landmark Newport 5er at a dealer but it doesn't have the dishwasher. Dealer says he can install one but I am wondering if it would look amaturely installed. Can it be installed at factory and look better or don't you retrofit at the factory.

    Is a Landmark Newport that much better than a Bighorn 3875FB

    Tom thanks for posting the differences between the two. I found one to look at when we get home from Winter Camp for Seniors in Florida. We are in Riverside RV Park and campground Arcadia Fl. Very nice campground with a lot of Bighorn,s second only to Montana,s with 500 sites. I recommend this...

    Is a Landmark Newport that much better than a Bighorn 3875FB

    Is there that much difference between a Landmark Newport and a Bighorn 3875FB to justify $30,000 + difference. I get there is more things standard but that's a lot. And you owners of a Newport tell me what you love about your 5er.
