    Fridgidaire in 2017 Newport

    We have been traveling this summer. Our fridge starts off a 0 on freezer side and 37 degrees on fridge side. We turn on inverter and after 5 hours on the road the fridge side is still at 37 but the freezer is anywhere from 23 to 30 degrees. I tied the doors with the Velcro strip that came...

    The bottom leaf broke in two causing the spring to shift and the other side also started to shift but caught it before any damage.

    Landmark 7 leaf spring breakage

    Has anyone else experienced their 7 leaf spring breaking during travel? We had the right rear spring break apart. Just lucky no serious damage - just frustration trying to find a 7 leaf spring locally (Galveston, TX). The factory was awesome and sent me a new spring to replace the temporary...

    Thank you - Heartland Customer Service Reps

    We have a 2017 Landmark Newport and have numerous issues since purchasing it. Explore USA in Kyle, TX has not been the easiest to get things done, but many many thanks to the Heartland Service Reps to date. They have always stepped up and assisted us in all issues. The latest was a broken...

    Hello from Elkhart and Happy Friday

    Andy, Jere and I were at the Fort Worth Show as well. Sorry we missed you. We looked at the 2018 New Port. Some nice changes from our 2017 but overall we are very pleased with ours. We will start our travels this spring from Waco, TX to Atlanta, GA to West Virginia and back to San Antonio for...

    All in one washer/dryers

    We are considering adding a all in one washer/dryer before we start our 6 month journey this coming spring. What issues can we expect and ventless vs. vented. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

    Landmark Newport Roof Issues

    Re: New Port Roof Issues Thanks for the info, it does make sense. The only way I would feel good about a full replacement is if it were done at the factory service center.

    Landmark Newport Roof Issues

    Anyone having the issue of something (nails or staples) poking up from under roof membrane along the front and rear sides? First I noticed the rear and yesterday I found the same along both front sides. The dealer wanted to replace the roof in April but Heartland wanted to pull the membrane...

    ATF: Landmark - King size mattress

    We were having the same issues with our bed and elected to upgrade to the SLEEPNUMBER 5R king size. Great upgrade and we added the wedge pillow for under the head of the bed. We both sleep so much better. Camping World sells this bed and I believe it is on sale this month.

    Thanks for the great information. Andy W. called me yesterday and is assisting in getting the issue resolved. I am thinking ours is a glue and not water issue as well. It has been raining all morning here and no change in the bubble. In retrospect, I only noticed the bubble when the temp was...

    Landmark - Side Wall Delamination

    '16 vs. '17 Newport - Hershey RV Show dissapointment

    Our 2017 was built in March before the mid-year changes. Sure glad we ordered when we did. Selling the sizzle (which sounds like what they are going to) is only short lived. This will be our home for many years and quality was paramount in our selection. So far it has been hands down far...

    We made it back to Waco. Thanks for putting together a great Rally. We really enjoyed it. Not sure, but we think our water check valve may have gone crazy. It cycles water to the fresh tank no matter what position the control knob is in. We will have out local repair guy stop by and...

    Landmark Newport tv cabinets and backup camera prep questions

    I installed the Furrion back up camera. Good clarity and range. I pulled about 100 yards away from RV before losing picture. I like the fact you can turn the camera on while traveling to see what is going on behind you. Very easy install.

    LM 365 Lighted Sign - Order Form

    Re: How to follow-up on LM 365 Lighted Sign orders We, too would have the LM365 left off had we known. The other issue was the power supply cord was too short so I bought an extension but it makes the sign stick out at the bottom. Still looking for a 90 degree USB plug to fit. But it works...

    prospective new landmark owner here

    We attended our first HOC Rally in Wetherford, TX before we had our Newport and were welcomed with open arms. We have a 2011 GMC 3500 dually duramax 4X4 and pulls our Newport effortlessly. This truck does not have the B&W and I miss it, but it came with a Reese 20K. We will be at the Canton...

    Spare Tire Carrier

    On our recent trip to Kansas we had to change out a tire. The tire carrier flat wore me out trying to get it to slide from under the coach. Since then, I attached two rollers allowing it to roll out rather than slide out. Hopefully the photo comes thru.

    Poll: Landmark Cooktop

    You are correct - you can put your hands on the glass and not get burnt. But the heating element puts out heat into the drawer. We don't put anything in that drawer that is affected by the heat. We used the portable inductions before we got this one. Really like cooking on it.

    Poll: Landmark Cooktop

    We got our 2017 Newport in late April. We really like the induction but we noticed that the drawer immediately below gets very warm. I have added some ventilation holes and covered it with a very nice looking metal grate. You can't see the holes and is cosmetically appealing. Will see if it...

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

    While doing your delivery PDI be sure to check under the slides mainly looking at the brackets that connect the slide rods. It is a "L" shape bracket that can break easily. Also check the rollers under the slide. Ours had two rollers rolling over each other causing extra stress on the slide...

    Our 2017 has a broken ram support bracket. Factory service is sending a new L bracket to be re-welded to the bracket. While checking to see what caused the bracket to fail we found that two of the rollers under the fridge side are overlapping by about an inch which causes the slide to tweek...
