    Turn the refrigerator off?

    Me again. 2018 Landmark Oshkosh with Insigna refer. I can't figure out how to turn it off. I want to have the 5th plugged in to run the A/C, lights, etc. But, I want the refer off so I can leave the doors open to allow it to dry out after use. I have done this before by turning the breaker off...

    Drums to discs

    We just had Performance Trailer Braking do a drum to disc brake conversion. They came down from Norman Oklahoma to our home near Houston Texas. Got here about 10am and finished around 4 pm. $2800 for parts for our 8000# axles and $1000 labor. Preston and Alyssa knew what they were doing and had...

    Lug nuts

    My lug nuts are apparently separating which I guess means that they are the cheap 2 piece style...a lug nut with a fake cover. I am concerned that they will strip and spin at the worst possible time..on the side of the road. I went to my local ORielly auto parts and they had Dorman brand but not...

    GEN Y pinbox

    I'm wanting to get rid of my hitch and end up with a clean truck bed. I thought about a Reese Goosebox but they don't have one rated high enough for my pin weight...4,000#+. Has anyone used a GEN Y pinbox on a heavy 5th wheel? The Oshkosh is rated at 18,000GVW and I'm usually 17,400+/-. GEN Y...

    Furnace amps

    How many amps does a furnace normally pull? Rather than do a complete winterize I'm thinking of draining tanks and then just plugging into a 20 amp outlet to keep the batteries up. Doable? We have record breaking low temps forecast for the Texas coast. Everybody is getting all worked up. I'm...

    Oshkosh - is it ok to extend outer slide (in slide) only?

    I have a question I've been wondering about for a time. If I'm in a real tight spot is it OK to extend the bedroom, but not the bed slide, and sleep on the bed? Occasionally or anytime or never?

    Saga of the BAL tire carrier

    When we bought the Oshkosh slightly used (?) I had the dealer remove the Bal undermount tire carrier because I thought it would drag on the inclined driveway entrance. I stored the spare in the bay storage. I later decided it might clear and decided to put the carrier back on. It had been...

    Azdel?

    So I'm looking at the Heartland website and notice they are advertising laminated Azdel sidewalls. How long have they been using Azdel? Did I overlook that feature on my 2018, or is it something new?

    What is this?

    Two of these things were in the storage bay when we bought the Oshkosh. They are a 4"X4" plate with a 6" pipe welded to it. The matching piece is the same size plate with a 5/8" all thread with a threaded collar. I'm tired of moving them around my garage. Who knows? Maybe I should have been...

    Oshkosh TV mount

    Wondering if anyone else is having issues with the living area TV mount. Last year the latch on the left side of the TV failed. I bought another one from Heartland. Although it was a different design it worked. This year the pins on the right side of the mount jumped out of the holes they are...

    Beeping Alarm??

    This happened yesterday and again today. Today I drove about 6 hours and pulled into the RV park. When unhooking I hear beeping from the front of the coach. Sounds just like the level up system, but it's not coming from there. It's coming from the front battery compartment. I had gotten out of...

    Three A/C operation?

    It's Houston. It's hot. It's humid. I took the Oshkosh to my RV shop to have 2 defective Carefree slide toppers removed due to a factory defect. That's a whole nuther story. Anyway, I get back home about 1 PM. It's hot. Concrete driveway, concrete street, brick house, all holding heat. No...

    Landmark awning LED strip lights

    When we bought the used Oshkosh it was missing the awning light on the main awning. The other awning over the dinette area has the lights and they work fine. The missing lights have 2 wires coming from the awning frame with what appears to be a white rub protector over them. I have taped up the...

    Landmark Oshkosh Storage bay lights

    My 2 storage bay lights don't work and never have (bought used). The one in the utility area does though. I had checked the fuse in the interior fuse panel and it's good. So we bribed the son and the son in law with good gumbo and got them to dive into it. SIL is Elect Eng PE for #1 pipeline...

    Help with rear access

    2018 Oshkosh with Insignia fridge. We are expecting low temp Thursday morning of 28F. Thought I had better winterize the ice maker line. My plan was to turn the water off to the ice maker at the under sink valve then disconnect the tubing going in the relay to allow the tubing to drain. The...

    Casualty list so far...

    We bought the 2018 Oshkosh this last summer. Took one short trip in it and no big issues. So now we've pulled it from Houston to Charleston SC and here is the casualty list so far: Fresh water tank overflowing while hooked up to city water. Not a problem that needs fixing right now. It's either...

    Oshkosh slide toppers?

    We are thinking about putting slide toppers on our Oshkosh. For those that have done it...how did you handle the bed "slide in a slide"? It looks like the base would have be just screwed into the wall.

    Slide out seal "flippers"

    Anyone have a source for slide out seal flippers? They are on the side and top of the slide out room to force the seal to flip when the slide moves in or out. I have a kitchen seal that is not flipping in the middle. I can also see where there may have been one on the door side slide. They are...

    17.5" aluminum wheel lug nut torque?

    I have looked through all the material I have for our "new to us" 2018 Oshkosh and can find no torque value for the lug nuts. I'm assuming they are 9/16". Google searching shows 130-150ft. lb. for 9/16" on 17.5" Alcoa wheels. Does anyone have any definitive value from Heartland or the wheel...

    Picked up the Oshkosh

    We took delivery of the 2018 Oshkosh today. ExploreUSA in Alvin. It went OK considering the size (big) and their reputation (bad). An issue with the steps. The bottom step wouldn't unfold. The nuts were tack welded and had some corrosion. They spun the nuts with an impact and got them freed up...

    Washer & dryer choices

    We have a Pinnacle washer/dryer combo in the Montana that we are trading in. Wife asked if I wanted to keep it and use in the Oshkosh. Not only no, but **** no. So we are internet shopping for side by sides. I think I would prefer a Whirlpool, Amana, Fridgidaire, etc. for ease of service. Mostly...

    50 amp sensor switch?

    I was reading the owners manual that is posted. WOW!! Someone deserves a medal for that. My question...the manual says on page 15 that when plugged in to a 15 or 20 amp 110 volt outlet that the 50 amp sensor has to be switched. There is a photo with an arrow pointing at the sensor. Is the...

    Prospective Oshkosh owner..

    The wife and I are looking at a 2018 Oshkosh. It's on a RV dealers lot, supposedly a trade-in on a diesel pusher MH. Appears to be in very good condition. Looks good...it's the gray, charcoal, tan, and white color scheme. I found a couple things wrong just casually looking last week. The curb...
