I have now had 4 5th wheels and purchased my current unit a 2016 Landmark 365 Ashland 1 year ago. To date there have been a few minor issues ( compared to my previous unit) and Heartland has been excemplary in making things right.
The quality of these units is as good as it comes in today's RV...
My unit is a 2016 Landmark Ashland and I just replaced my lower quality factory carpet with quality residential carpet. I also thought about going with vinyl or similar products but there was the question on what to do with the Main living slide. The dealer could not come up with a solution on...
We have a 2016 Lanmark 365 and our fold out couch is not level either. The foot portion is about 1 to 1 1/2" higher at the foot end. Impossible to sleep on with out waking up with a head ache. Be brought our inflate a bed along with us for guests. You would think that the RV industry could build...
I insulated the Cabinet with the same foil insulation used in the walls and sealed it using vapour barrier tape. This not only eliminated the drafts but also keeps out the cold. Because of the thinness of the material it does not effect the TV Mount.

Update to this post.
It turns out that the Winegard cable was faulty.
The issue with the PVR can not be resolved as the Shaw PVR does require two cables from the dish. :( The dealer pulled a second cable from the dish to the Bedroom TV Cabinet but was unwilling to pull second cable to the main...
I love that the Ashland put the washer dryer in the main living area and not in the Bedroom Closet. There is however a downside to the current setup. The washer dryer doors swing from the opposite side than the closet door and they conflict. Trying to get cloths in and out is a pain and I've...
I'm not sure what the code is in the US but in Canada an outlet is permitted in a cabinet if there is a disconnect switch to isolate the power from the receptacle when the door or drawer closes.
Just an idea.
I would select the 12 Gallon Tank Water Heater. Here in the land of ice and snow the on demand systems are not able to produce hot enough water.
However a dual system would be ideal.
Re: Disk Brake not functioning
After a trip to the only RV dealer that had a service dept open on a Saturday and a trip to a GM dealer 180 miles away I was able to get this situation resolved.
1- Pre 2015 GMC 3500's ITBC are not compatible with Electric over Hydraulic (EOH) brakes.
2- After...
Re: Disk Brake not functioning
Yes I have Electric over Hydraulic brakes.
I do believe that the brake system was functional when I took the unit for its initial shakedown trip close to home.
It wasn't until I was on a long decline that I noticed the trailer brakes weren't as noticeable as...
Re: Disk Brake not functioning
This is a factory installed system and I am unable to find any literature in the Blue Folder.
I have verified the Hydraulic system is functional by pulling the break away lanyard and confirming that the hydraulic pump actuates.
My Truck owners Manual states that...
I am on route to where I will be staying in my LM 365 and noticed that my Disk Brakes were not functional. I verified that the plug was properly seated and that all the lights were functioning.
However when I manually operated my brake controller there was no reaction from the trailer. Is it...
Thanks again for your words of wisdom and experience.
We went through the unit with a critical eye and so far have only noticed that the driver side Slide sitting flush against the body at the top but out about 1" at the bottom when retracted. Has anyone else noticed this on their unit?

We did our first weekend in the new Ashland to insure everything was functional.
The only issue we had was that the Dishwasher was installed too tight to the cabinet and the door wouldn't latch. Once I reset the position everything was fine.
We found no issues with the unit and are very pleased...
We picked up the new unit yesterday and i was unable to get the Winegard to work. Not sure what is going on.
Our PVR is less than a year old and is Shaw's latest model. I am going to try and do the hook up on the boxes myself once I can get the Winegard box to function. When I push the power...
I picked up our new Ashland today. Hooray.... Everything seems to be have been corrected that we found during the PDI. The dealer really pulled through for us. The only item not corrected was the cracked fender skirts. That will have to wait until November when I come home again. Went through it...
Thank you everyone for your feedback. The dealer is telling me that the Shaw PVR requires two cables. Since Im not there to contest I have to take his word for it. They may not be familiar with how the connections are made in the docking station.
Does anyone have a PVR that requires two cable...
Thanks Jim
Yes I suspect that the installer was cutting corners and wasn't wanting to do the work required to complete the work.
That being said the Dealership only has 4 Heartland units and they may not be familiar enough to know how they are setup. I have forwarded the dealer the Coax...
My dealer has transferred my existing Wingard Dish to my new Ashland and told me that they were unable to connect the PVR Box in the Living Room because there wasn't two cables run to this area. I can't imagine that HL would over look something so basic. I found the Coax Schematic in the forum...
I have been pulling 5er's for the past 10 years and have travelled far and wide. IMHO there is only one way to stay safe when pulling a 5er over 14000 lbs. GO DUALLY. The biggest difference besides load capacity is how the truck and trailer behalf together. A SRW wheel width is approx 86" and a...
As a new owner of an Ashland I am disappointed to hear that this floor plan will be discontinued. If you are looking for a replacement floor plan idea, how about one with a Bunk Room / Office in the middle with storage over head. We saw a couple of these plans at our local RV shows and thought...
I'm just in the process of purchasing my new 2016 LM 365 Ashland and pointed out this issue to the dealer when doing the walk through. They indicated that they would contact the factory and see what could be done about insulating this area. It is very critical to me as I use my unit when it is...
Wondering if anyone has added the Alum A Guard Awning covers after receiving their units. Is it possible or does it need to be ordered as part of the awning?
What should I expect to pay and how difficult is it for the dealer to complete.

I am in the process of finalizing my purchase of a new 2016 landmark 365 Ashland and noticed a few items that have me confused.
Lack of aluminium Awning covers
Lack of Aluminium Steps
Foam Mattress instead of Pillow top.
Was there a point in the build year that these options became standard...
Thank you all for your responses.
I performed my initial walk through today and found only minor issues.
Lack of insulation and sealant around exterior TV Cabinet.
Sealant broken around bed slide - 3 sides
Cracked Fender Skirt
Couch not centered, hide-a-bed requires adjustment so frame...
Thanks everyone
I am going to the dealer tomorrow to do my initial walk through and will discuss with the dealer. They sold me both units so they should be able to tell me.

I am in the process of purchasing a new Ashland and it has the Mor Ryde Pin box. I would like to transfer my Trailair Flex Air L05 Pin box from my Trilogy to my new unit. Can anyone tell me if they are compatible?
KNPMCM
Thank you for your replies.
I think I have decided on the Landmark 365 Ashland. It is the closest to my existing floor plan(which I love) and has a few very good options that mine doesn't.
I would be be buying from the same dealer I bought my Trilogy from and at least know what I'm in for. The...
I am looking at purchasing a new Landmark 365 and would like to know what are some of the issues current owners have experienced?
I currently have a Dynamax Trilogy 3800D3 and have had a number of serious issues. This time around I am doing my homework.
Thanks in advance for you candid...
