I have read numerous accounts of mostly Lippert pin box and frame cracks. A couple weeks ago, I noticed movement on the seam between the off door panel on the overhang and the bull nose trim . I have read here where Heartland will take care of the issue but only at their plant and there is a...

Here is a step by step 'how-to' for Lippert bearing repacking and drum brake adjustment. This is based on the Lippert Bearing Inspection and Maintenance manual and Brake Maintenance and Inspection Manual. Figure 1-2 hours per wheel. To get started, you'll need a set of seals (Lippert 122088-...

I noticed today that my mobile phone number in the PDF HOTEL member listing is indexed in Google and brings up the member listing in PDF. If this was in the fine print when I offered my information to a fellow Heartlander in need, I missed it. I do not think it is a good idea to have this...

Government control of my thermostat? Got the letter today. Today I got a letter from Dominion Virgina Power asking me to participate in a voluntary program to help save energy at my (stick) home. They want to install a device on my outside AC unit that will shut the compressor off during the...

Sometimes you have to wonder what people are thinking.

I have decided that I need a TPMS for the 5th wheel. When on the road, I frequently check the OEM TPMS on our GMC. After looking at several, I like the HawksHead for several reaons. The batteries are replaceable The unit is small and simple without the bling that some of the other units...

We want to travel to New York to see the West Point-VMI game on October 30. Does anyone have any recommendations for campgrounds near West Point? Thanks, John

I have a 2009 Landmark Augusta with the factory TV in the bedroom. When playing a DVD on the main TV, is it possible to also watch the movie in the bedroom? I know the bedroom speakers are connected. If if is possible, what do I need to do? Thanks, John

Re: Black & grey water tank draining. Are you dumping at the station or into a portable? If a the dump station, it sounds like your vent may be blocked.

I was browsing the main forum board and noticed that some of the active users online were in bold purple. I know the bold green users are the moderators but what are the bold purple users? Thanks, John

Over the weekend I washed and waxed our Augusta. And while washing and waxing a camper that big is a workout, I enjoy doing it. I decided to try Meguiar's Polishing Compound from my local auto parts store. This stuff is the best black streak, grime and bird poop/ dead bug remover ever. It...

I have thought about adjusting my pin box. The bed rails on my GMC are high. I have my Reese 20K hitch at the highest setting to clear the top of the rails. When I back my 5ht wheel into the gravel spot next to our house, I get about an an inch from the bed to the underside of the coach...

I recieved a letter from Carrier today stating that the heater strips in the Carrier Air-V air conditioning units (manufactured after May 2007) have been recalled due to a fire hazard. (NHTSA Recall # 09E-053) Carrier will issue a retrofit kit that will be available after December 15, 2009...

Like many others, I have had problems getting my fresh water tank full, before the filler line over flows. Last time I tried to fill up, I could onlt get it about 2/3 full. I was debating using a hose clamp and attaching to the drain line and filling from the bottom up (so to speak) until the...

I got an Onan 6500 that was being thrown away and have rebuilt it. It only has 312 hours and now runs like a sleeping cat:D. Granted, I have about 50 hours of labor into getting her running again but the price was hard to beat. Our Landmark has the generator prep. I have found the remote...

I decided to go ahead and put a second a/c unit in our Landmark. I searched through the forums here and decided on a 13500 BTU carrier low profile. I found a new one on Ebay for $569 and also ordered the heat strip option for $49. I installed the unit today and wanted to relay a couple of...

Last weekend we were camping and were assigned a very unlevel site. I was able to level our Landmark from front to back but could not get level from side to side. The coach felt okay to walk around in but was still a few inches out. That night it poured. I'd guess 1-2 inches in an hour...

I will be picking up our new Landmark Augusta sometime later this week (yea!). I am new to 5th wheeling and need help determining the proper trailer gain setting on my factory trailer brake. My 2008 GMC 2500HD Duramax owners manual states that I need to drive about 20 mph while towing and...

We're trying to decide whether to go with the Landmark Augusta or Carriage Cameo. We really like the room and cosmetic features of the Augusta, but have heard the Carriage has the best reputation. We don't want to sacrifice quality for beauty. Please give us some pointers, experiences, etc to...
