    Whirlpool Washer Leak

    Our Whirlpool washer has developed a small leak. It’s coming from the bottom of the washer, so I suspect it’s pump or internal hose/line related. Before I start tearing into it, just thought I’d check to see if anyone else has experienced a similar issue and what you found. Sent from my...

    Unable to Auto Level

    OK, friends, Romans, and countrymen, suggestions for this. When I try to auto level, I get “Function Disabled”. All controls work and I can manually level. I’ve tried cutting all power and reapplying. A suggestion was to unplug the four pin connector behind the control panel, wait 15 seconds...

    Error on 50amp service

    My internal Progressive Industries EMS is shutting down the 50 amp service into my RV and giving me an error code of E2. If I plug into the post’s 30amp outlet, everything works fine, so I am assuming the problem must be at the post outlet and not internal to my RV wiring (or I would still get...

    Pex Water Line Size

    Is the pex line 1/2”? I want to stock up on a few spare parts. Won’t be back to the RV for a few days, so I can’t look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Electric Slide Issue

    Just setup in a site at Fort Chiswell in Wytheville, VA. Electric bedroom slide will only go out about an inch then stops like it’s catching on something. I’ve looked all behind the bed/cabinet on this bid slide (it’s a cable drive by the way). It will just move in or out about one inch...

    Saying Goodbye to RVing

    After ten years of RVing, I’m sad to say that due to new and ongoing medical issues, we have to give up RVing. We sold our truck today and the Landmark is going on consignment at Floyd’s RV in Norman, OK next week. It’s been a great time, including starting up the VA, NC, WV, DE, and MD...

    Air Pressure Issue

    Checking air pressure before heading down for S. Texas Rally, found one tire at 60psi [emoji33]. Searched high and low for a nail, etc, but found nothing. Tightened up valve stem and TPMS sender unit. Aired back up to 110psi. Didn't notice any hairline cracks in wheel, but will recheck after...

    New Dining Area Chairs

    Replaced the four original chairs with these two sleek chairs from Pier 1 Imports today. Much more comfortable and gives us just the right amount of room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Another TPMS question.

    Winchester, VA to Cambridge, OH

    We're leaving Winchester on Jul 26 headed up to Cambridge, OH. Google is routing me on US 522 to MD 127, MD 9, and MD 51 into Cumberland. I'm pulling our 38ft Landmank Grand Canyon with a 2017 F350 Dually. Any thoughts on this route? Looks pretty twisty turny, but much shorter than I81 to...

    RV Park Recommendations Near/In Denver, CO

    Looking for recommendations for an RV Park in the Denver, CO area for approximately 5 days in mid-September. Cherry Creek State Park looks good, but has many extra fees. Buckley AFB is good, but difficult to get a reservation (very popular). Any others? RVParkReviews.com didn't give me any...

    Bighorn at Candy Hill in Winchester, VA

    We're here for a long term stay (probably 4 months). A Bighorn came in today while we were out. It has an Owners Club plaque on the ladder but no one was home when we came in so I wasn't able to say hello. If you see this, we're in the Landmark over the hill in the monthly area. Stop by and...

    Bad Cabling

    After 6 1/2 years we finally got a second satellite receiver for the bedroom. Don't know why I expected the cabling to work since our living room cabling quit working over a year ago. Sure enough, no signal whatsoever through the bedroom satellite input. Ran the coax through the bedroom...

    New Mattress

    The original mattress in our 2011 Landmark was starting to get very uncomfortable. Actually, it never has been real comfortable, but a couple of foam toppers helped. We replaced it this past Monday with a Denver Mattress RV Narrow King Supreme Euro Top. This is the most comfortable mattress we...

    Thoughts on Inverter to Power Residential Refrigerator

    Since I have to do some floor work this fall that will be easier if the slide doesn't have a refrigerator in it, I am thinking about replacing our "pain in the rear" Dometic RM1350 with a Samsung Residential model. I know most of the factory inverters are Xantrex or Magnum, but our budget will...
