    Rest in Peace - Beulah (Boots) Burnette

    RVing can make dreams come true. To Beulah Burnette being an RVer was a dream in itself. Beulah and her husband wanted to RV but never at same time. After his death that dream seemed impossible. She moved to Richmond, Virginia for us to take care of her and we bought our Landmark. So it was on...

    Recommend Merchant for Tires & Rims

    I purchased Lynx (black) with Continental HTL2 Eco Plus in 215/75R17.5. I didn't buy a spare in that size since the existing tires are very close to the same diameter. I also used the RV size Dyna Beads to balance the tires. I was the first retail customer Scott from Trailertiresandwheels.com...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: DE, Lincoln - 7/22/2011 to 7/24/2011

    We will have to cancel out for this rally. My mother is in the hospital and should be released soon but will need some time to build her strength back up before we hit the road again. We were looking forward to the rally. Sorry we cannot make it.

    Scooter carrying

    I believe there are motorcycle carriers that mount to the front bumper of a pickup. Would this block too much air when pulling a 5th wheeler resulting in over heating the engine?

    Give Heartland your feedback on the 2012 Landmark - what do you want?

    The recommendations below would give you about 2 inches of additional headroom in the bedroom of all Heartland products for "free." At 6' 2" (not exactly NBA height) I can clear most of the items placed on the ceiling above the walk area around our queen bed. However with my shoes on I've hit...

    Give Heartland your feedback on the 2012 Landmark - what do you want?

    Accessibility features that would be helpful for those with mobility issues in priority order based on measurements taken from my 2011 Augusta: Entry steps to coach: 6 inch step risers (current is 8 inch) (Note: this by far is the single biggest obstacle to using a RV if you have mobility...

    Need photo of door stop

    I am missing the door stop for the bedroom door on my 2011 Landmark. Other 2011 Landmarks that I have seen have a magnetic door stop that keeps the door from hitting the wall and the magnet helps hold the door open if you are not completely level. I need a photo of the door stop. Could...

    Has anyone been trapped in the shower?

    Kathy got trapped in the shower a couple of weeks ago. She thought I did it which I didn't. I'm thinking of moving the latch higher up so that if anyone gets locked in the shower they could reach over the top and unlock it. Kathy is not exactly NBA height so that still may not solve the...

    2010 International Heartland Owners Rally Discussion

    Kathy, my mother and I really enjoyed the rally. Jim and all the volunteers did a great job. We cannot wait until 2011! With Kathy's and my mother's mobility issues we were not able to circulate as much as we would have liked. In addition we had a MAJOR problem with little Rosie our 10 year...

    2011 Bighorn 3670 - experiencing some problems

    We were having problems keeping the temperature down when it was hot on our new Augusta (same floor plan as the BH 3670). The temperature would climb from about 39 in the morning to 53 in the heat of the day and we had it set to 5 (Max cooling). It turned out that the white drain hose was so...

    Label with Phone Numbers

    We just picked up our Landmark and the 1-800 list was missing from the closet also. We found it in the blue folder with all the paper work for the components of the rig.

    Your help needed - TV to BH clearance

    Re: Problem Solved... I think :-) Re: Your help needed - TV to BH clearance Tom, <O:p</O:pIn your first photo it looks like your Super Glide hitch is all the way forward. I know this is an automatic slider hitch but is there a way to manually slide it back while you’re hitching up? I believe...

    I’m having an issue with the leading (i.e., the space between lines of text) using IE 7 when viewing the list of “New Posts” or viewing the list from any search. There is an overlap of about a half of the text depending on the text size when I set my browser for “Largest”. When set to “Large”...

    2011 Landmark Literature

    Jim, Thanks for posting the new Landmark brochure. Below are some observations I had on it: I would have liked to see at least one interior picture of the Augusta and Oakmont. Especially the Augusta since we have one sitting on a dealer’s lot awaiting the production of our new truck so we...

    EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: NC, Rodanthe * - 4/30/2010 to 05/02/2010

    Every rally we do an upgrade. The Spring 2009 rally we started with a "rustic cabin" with a restroom that was about a quarter mile away. In the fall 2009 rally we upgraded to a prototype Heartland "Little Horn" and almost ended up in the ocean during the storm. This time we've upgraded to a 2011...

    Need advice on full body paint option

    We’re planning on attending the rally however I still have not been able to order my truck so we have not made our reservations yet. Dodge opened up ordering for 2010 heavy duty trucks however I didn’t find out until after I ordered my Augusta that a dually cannot be ordered. Dodge is only...

    Need advice on full body paint option

    We went ahead and ordered ours with the full body paint. I believe the paint scheme will change a bit for the 2011 models. I hope it looks as good as the 2010 paint scheme. Our rig should be coming off the line just before the Christmas shutdown or early in January. Thanks for all the input.

    Need advice on full body paint option

    Dodge appears to have their heavy duty truck line back up and running so that trucks will arrive in dealerships by January or so. The truck has been the long pole in the tent as far as us getting our Augusta. We’re planning on ordering an Augusta in about a month so that the truck and Augusta...

    Announcing the Fall 2009 Virginia Chapter Rally

    Price jump on the Augusta?

    I just noticed that it’s now on sale. They lowered the price $200,000 to $89,821.00. Whoever buys this rig will have bragging rights for the biggest discount off of MSRP. It’s like 70% off. And to think most folks are getting only 25-30% off. :(

    Price jump on the Augusta?

    I think we waited too long to buy our Augusta. Terry Frazer’s RV Store in Iowa has one listed on Ebay with a “buy it now” price of ONLY $289,821.00 (item #140340976472). I know the Augusta is a good rig and this one is well optioned but that seams a little high to me. :D

    Brace over shower door

    Brace over shower door

    It looks like a brace that the height could be adjusted would provide the same support that the existing brace provides to the sides of the shower at very little additional cost to manufacture. <O:p</O:p<O:p</O:p Who makes the shower used in the Landmarks? I may give them a call to see if they...

    Brace over shower door

    Does anyone have a modification to solve the problem of hitting your head on the bar that ties the sides of the shower together? I’m 6’2” tall and one of my tests while looking over various fifth wheelers is to check out the headroom in the shower. So I go ahead and step into the shower. I’ve...

    Announcing the Fall 2009 Virginia Chapter Rally

    I just made my reservation and will be in site 405. We will not have our Heartland by then so I’ll be in a tent. I’m not sure if my tent will be an upgrade to the “rustic cabin” we had at the spring rally or not. I get a full hookup so I guess it’s an upgrade. Well at least site 405 is closer to...

    Optimal hitch and bed cover

    Bob, I went to the Reese website and I think I now understand how the Signature Series works. I like the fact that it sits low enough so that a bed cover will slide over it and one person can remove and re-install the hitch. The Augusta has a GVWR of 16,200 pounds so I was thinking an 18K...

    Optimal hitch and bed cover

    Keith, how does your Landmark pull with the standard pin and the B&W (i.e., how smooth is ride in your truck)? If you were to do it again would you still get the standard pin or would you get the Trail-Air pin box? I know you haven’t had your Landmark very long but I’m interested in your...
