    A squirrel cost me 2 more tanks of propane!

    Smelled gas the other day, and found the hose going to the range in the kitchen slideout had a big hole chewed through it. A couple months ago I noticed the propane smell and a squirrel had chewed through the hose going to my grill (ran from a "T" on the curbside tank), and I lost that tank of...

    Olevia TV from a few years back

    I have tried a couple times on this trip to pick up a TV signal using the antenna, but no luck. Works fine on our satellite dish (which we use 95% of the time) and on cable. Does anyone know if this TV is digital? It was the OEM TV in the Landmark when we bought ours. The model is LT26HVX. We...

    What happened to spring?

    This last week in PA we have seen snow, sleet and freezing rain--and 27* a couple mornings. When we left NC it was spring. Oh well! We pulled into a campground in Kinzers, PA., then missed my turn in the campground because I was busy looking at another Landmark. This one had a full paint job...

    Yellowing trim on entry door

    Some years ago, when we owned SOB trailer, all the vinyl trim outside started turning yellow. I must have tried a couple dozen different products before I came across one that took all the yellow discoloration off. With the combination of time (10 years or so) and age---I can't remember what I...

    Log-in

    Tonight, after I read any particular thread and hit the back key, I had to log-in again. I read 8 threads, and logged in 8 times. If I don't log-in I can't tell which threads have new posts otherwise. Anyone else have this problem, or is it just my computer playing games with me?

    Fridge problem

    Our Landmark has the Dometic 12 cu ft side by side, and we discovered we had a problem this weekend. We lost power for 40 hours because of TS Fay, and the fridge switched to gas, no problem there. The freezer stayed frozen but the fridge side is 65*. Now that the electricity is back on the temp...

    Toilet not holding water

    Help! My DW advised me, on her way out of town for a week, that the toilet was not holding water any more and it was starting to smell. I need to know the model of the toilets used in Landmarks so that I can try to pick up a replacement ball and seal and replace it next weekend when we're back...

    Landmark decal

    Scott The front "Landmark" decal on my Mt. Rushmore is puckering pretty bad throughout the "dm", and only there. Not sure why there, never had anything on it except paste wax. I know it will be some work removing it, but is it possible to get a replacement decal? It is only 55 weeks old, and I...

    Leaking gas lines!

    I decided to check all my accessible gas line connections this weekend. I checked them during my PDI and all was fine, but I found 2 leaks Saturday. These apparently just appeared and were minor leaks, but, still a leak. I had the same thing happen several years ago on our Sunnybrook, and then...

    Goodyear G614RST tires

    Well, since I have about 4 months left under warranty I started looking for the best price for replacement tires. I decided that if I find a deal that I'll just buy them and hold on to them until I am ready for a trip after my warranty expires. I realize that I don't want to store them too long...

    Tire failure database

    Jim, at this point I'm not sure if there is a tire problem or not with Heartland's OEM tires. The posting of tire failures are scattered throughout the Forum, and they often contain incomplete data. How about a special section for this, with certain info required so that an analysis can be made...

    New Goodyear tires

    I spent some time Saturday pricing new tires for my dually, and when I made my 1st stop I got out of my truck and noticed I had a sidewall separation on my Bridgestone Dueler Revo's. They were pretty good tires, about 44K on them, and a lot better than the OEM tires. I had planned on waiting...

    LP regulator leaking?

    Checked the LP tanks yesterday to see if one needed refilling. Haven't had to refill a tank since we bought the it, so I knew it had to be getting low. Sure enough, the indicator was red, but had not changed over to the other tank. I manually turned it to the other tank, closed the valve...

    Axles/springs replaced

    Dropped my Mt. Rushmore off at LSI for a few minor adjustments and Lance kept it for 3 days! He discovered a problem with my axles, Mor/ryde and springs, and they had to be replaced. It appears it was a joint problem with the blame going to Mor/ryde and Lippert. Heartland got it all replaced...

    Torquing aluminum wheels

    I just bought a torque wrench for my Landmark wheels. At the present time the coach is 500 miles away, and in 3 weeks I will be back to hook up and head out. Not much time to run around and gather anything I need, and I have no idea what size socket I need for the lug nuts. I assume I will need...

    Tire failures

    Scott-I have read several posts on this forum and others concerning tire failures. Most manufacturers seem to be going with Chinese, Korean and other foreign unknown tires. I have Trail America on my Mt. Rushmore and I am concerned about the quality of the tire and the damage that they do when...

    Satellite dish hookup

    I'm going to hookup my satellite receiver to a free-standing antenna dish. Not sure at this point exactly how many different ways Heartland may have wired the Mt. Rushmores. Mine is only a couple of months old now, and I do intend to also use the park cable. Anyone have any shortcuts so I don't...

    AC Switch?

    I got the stacking W/D and bedroom heat pump installed yesterday. The salesman still can't understand how he missed ordering it! After the Dometic H/P was installed we concluded that there was no wall switch, H/P unit on/off switch, or on/off control by the thermostat. So, my question to those...

    Icemaker operation

    Just got my 2nd outlet installed for the icemaker in the side by side fridge. I found a cutoff valve that looks like it goes to the icemaker (1/4 inch plastic hose, opened it about 3 turns, hooked up my water. Is there anything else needed to get it started making ice?

    Took delivery of my new Mt Rushmore today

    The fiver came in Tuesday afternoon and I was in it Wed AM and probably the 2nd person to walk thru it. A little sawdust, etc., but really not too bad. The coach came in as ordered except for 2 items, and I think that was a dealer error. The stacking washer/dryer and 2nd heat pump were missing...

    Unit 2369 built and enroute

    Unit 2896 built and enroute I received word that my Mt. Rushmore has been built and is enroute, but still no actual date of arrival. I still have some concerns over quality control (very recent posts) and the bracket that supports the wiring on the slideouts. Both seem to be ongoing problems...

    Mt Rushmore on order

    We ordered a Mt Rushmore in late Jan and the dealer says is is to be built on or before 3/15. Can't wait until it arrives, we have been checking out the Landmark fifth wheels very closely for well over a year now! Looked at many others but these appear to be the best for the money and definitely...
