    Trail Air Pin Box

    I had the tape stripes on my 2006 Landmark replaced with paint stripes. When the paint shop painted my pin box, they painted over the sticker with the arrows that showed me how much air I had to put in the pin box. Can anyone give me the dimension from the lower pivot bolt to the top of the...

    Oshkosh Airventure 09

    Me and two other guys were there in my Landmark Monticello. This was our third year in a row. We stay at a KOA at Fond du Lac. It is about 25 minutes south, but it has full hook-up. We had a great time and the weather was cooler than lhe last two years which was good --- not a lot of shade at on...

    On my Landmark they installed the rear levelers right behind the tires --- not all the way back where the factory ones are.

    Bigfoot levelers

    We had Big Foot levelers installed when we ordered the trailer. Big Foot told me it was actually cheaper to have my dealer contact them and arrange installation when the trailer was built. So my trailer went from Indiana to Michigan then to the dealer in Ohio. I love these things --- I push 1...

    Shower door problem with Landmark. How to adjust alignment?

    I had the same problem and no matter how I adjusted the screws I could not make it close right. At the 2007 rally it was one of the items I asked to have fixed. They tried to adjust, but could not. So they took the door off to replace it. Then they found out they could not get another door. So...

    Corpus/Port Aransas 2008/2009 Gathering

    We might be interested depending on the dates. We spend the winter at our home in Georgetown, TX, but unfortunately the trailer is in Michigan. We go back to Michigan for Christmas and we have a grandson that is due to be born in Texas on November 14. If the dates work we will be there.

    Dodge Ram Towing

    I pull a Landmark Monticello with a 2006 Dodge and a 3.73. I do not have any problems. I talked to the Development Engineer at Chrysler before I bought my truck to ask him why the 4.10 had a higher towing capacity than the 3.73. He said that the have a test they run where they put a fully loaded...

    Sewer hose storage

    If your set-up is like my Landmark, you can remove the screws holding the white collar on the black plastic tank(I am doing this from memory). Then pull it out. You will find a long black tube attached to the white collar. I cut it off close to the collar. Now my 20' hose fits with no problem.

    Microwave Oven Attachment

    I noticed this weekend that the gap between our Dometic microwave/convection oven and the bottom of the cupboard was over 1". After detaching the oven from the wall, I was shocked. The oven is only attached to the back wall. The weight of the oven and the bouncing of the trailer caused the metal...

    2nd A/C - Prewire?

    My Landmark Monticello was suppose to be pre-wired for the bedroom A/C, but it was not. However, the factory refunded me the extra labor cost that I had to pay because they had to run a new wire. You need to be wired to your thermostat and you need the digital thermostat that can handle two...

    Heatpump

    We have two heat pumps on our Landmark. They were great down to about 40 degrees. With the heat pumps and the fireplace, I never use the furnace when I have a 50 amp hook-up.

    Replacing Duo-Therm AC unit with Carrier Heat Pump

    I have a 15K DuoTherm Heat Pump and a 13.5 Duo Therm Heat Pump in the bedroom. They are great. Between the heat pumps and the fireplace I rarely use the furnace. I think you may also need a digital thermostat with a heat pump setting

    Is Our Truck Enough For A Landmark

    I have a Landmark Monticello with a GVW of 18,000# and a towing weight of 16,000#. I pull it with a 2006 Dodge 3500 SRW short bed with the 5.9 Cummins. It tows great. I agree that the real issue is brakes. The best thing I did was to have Mor-Ryd install disc brakes on my trailer and I installed...

    New Dodge

    I retired last year from Chrysler. I was debating on the proper axle ratio since my trailer weighs 16,000# when I am pulling it. I talked to the development engineer. He told me the only reason the 4.10 has 2000# more towing capacity is because they have an acceleration test at full load on an...

    Air Bag Suspension

    We also have the Air Lift Rear Suspension and we love it. There are basically two types. One is just air bags that will keep your truck level when loaded, but do not improve the ride performance very much. The second system is a total rear suspension which replaces your rear leaf springs. I have...

    Asheville or Knoxville TN area

    Last May we spent 2 weeks at the Jellystone Campground located about 15 miles east of Gatlinburg. The sites were not very wide, but we backed up to a creek. It was gorgeous. We have a Monticello and the sites were deep enough. The park is run by a family --- mom, dad, and two sons. They were...

    Dodge 3500 DRW

    I also have the 3.73 and the trailer weighs 16000# when I am pulling it. I have had absolutely no problems and have never wished I had the 4.10. I talked to the Truck Development Engineer. He told me the only reason they have a higher towing capacity for the 4.10 is because of one test they run...

    General RV Sales Michigan

    I received a qoute from General RV in Birch Run, MI (It was where we originally the Landmark Monticello). They were the highest of the 4 quotes we received and we ended up buying our unit from Best Buy in Springfield, OH. However, when I needed some warranty work done, I called General RV in...

    Exhaust Brakes

    I also have the Mopar/Cummins exhaust brake. I think it makes a real difference in taking some of the work off the TV brakes. I use it even when not pulling the trailer. I paid around $1500 installed. I also liked the fact that if anything went wrong with the powertrain, there would be no finger...

    Landmarks still in our future?

    One of the neatest features was the power retractable power cord. The 4 step entry was also a neat feature. However, the did away with the hot and cold water connections in the UDC. They heard a lot of negative comments about it and may change. Landmark appeared to be here to stay.

    Flexible wire and hose guide

    I also had one of my flex guards tear off at the frame. At the Rally they repaired it by attaching farther rearward on the frame to give it some slack. I will let you know how it holds up.

    Buying a Heartland Trailer from an Internet Based Dealership

    We live in Michigan and bought our Landmark from a dealer in southern Ohio. Saved about $15000 and had no problem getting service from local dealer. The factory has also been great with their support.

    Convenient Sewer Hose Storage

    Which Truck do I need

    GVW Limits As a recent retiree from Chrysler I can tell you that the factors that determine the GVW rating is usually either your brakes or your powertrain. It is typically not your wheels, tires or axle because those items are used to determine your GAWR and your GVW is less than the...

    Best Buy RV in Springfield, OH(east of Dayton)
