    Solar for trickle charging battery only--how much wattage is needed

    We have a 2015 Landmark Key Largo. It sits in storage for 6 months at a time in AZ so lots of sun. How much wattage should we need to keep the batteries topped off? Would the Harbor Freight 100w panel work and what other accessories (if any) are needed? Can it be connected directly to the...

    ATF: Landmark - Older tv in new Ashland

    This won't solve the HDMI problem but may explain why Heartland switched to LG: Samsung 46" TV's have a known problem, they keep shutting themselves off. We ran into that while on the road last year. Samsung sent repair techs out to replace the circuit boards in the TV and all has been good...

    SOLVED: Battery charging system (Landmark)

    We had the same problem (batteries not charging) last winter while on travel. Turned out that the converter came unplugged. It's a 110v normal plug that had worked itself loose during travel. Dealer turned the converter around (so you can see the plug and on light through the vent) then...

    Flooring glue solvent?

    The factory got a little carried away with the flooring glue and portions of it are oozing out along the dining room slide, adhering to the carpet flap then sticking & tearing the flooring when the slide is retracted. Is there any solvent that will inactivate and remove the excess glue from...

    We have a 2015 Landmark Key Largo. The media player in the outside entertainment center is a Furrion FUR DV 5100 and it has quit working.

    Condensation on the inside of the coach with Whisper Air?

    We have a 2015 Landmark with Whisper Air--the ac unit itself does not open into the coach. Cold air and return air is via vents only. We are experiencing heavy condensation collecting on the ceiling under the ac unit as well as along the ducts. We're in Ft Meyers, FL now with RH between...

    samsung TV turning off

    Update: Samsung has aknowledged a systematic problem & issued a repair order. Of course they issued the order for a shop in Florida--we're in Arkansas! So instead of being able to take it in for repair on Friday (local shop would have ordered the part necessary) we have to wait until shop in...

    Great service experience near Little Rock, AR

    John not only did that, he reversed & relocated the converter so that we could access the fuses through the vent. Now we can now check the fuses without having to take down the basement wall. He also checked & tightened connections behind the UDC. Like I said, attention to detail & excellect...

    Great service experience near Little Rock, AR

    Just wanted to pass along the great service we experienced at Mayflower RV in Sherwood, AR. When we put the hydraulic jacks up yesterday AM we got a low voltage warning. Our destination that day was Little Rock so we called Heartland but they have no dealer close (OK & TX). We found Mayflower...

    Anyone having problems with dining chair seats?

    Both of our hinged chair seats have collapsed. One came that way and the second just gave way when's I kneeled on it to open the window. Headtland is replacing the first but I'm thinking we'd be better off taking it to an upholstery shop & replacing the particle board with solid plywood. Any...

    best route to Yellowstone NP from Salt Lake UT

    Lynn1130 is correct, I-15 to Idaho Falls then ID-20 to West Yellowstone. Road is good all the way to W-Yellowstone for large RV, no hairpin turns, steep hills or cliff hangers. I would suggest parking your rig in or near W-Yellowstone and doing your sightseeing in the truck alone. Unless you...

    residential fridge inverter, euro style hidden hinges, TV booster

    Karen, you might check the Landmark forum. There is a lot of chatter there about the inverters that HL recently installed and the residential refrigerators. If you too are having problems, HL needs to know and this could be a systemic problem. Basically it appears that the 1000w inverters...

    SOLVED: Residential Fridge problem

    Re: Inverter for fridge problem Here's an update on our fridge problem. Our Key Largo is at the dealers now and they said they put it on 12v and it ran for 2 hours before tripping the fault in the inverter. This was after doing all of the checking of wiring, etc. that HL asked them to do. So...

    Outside entertainment center

    Just wanted folks to be aware that the outside TV will only play DVD's or receive off air signals. it was never wired to receive satellite input or mirror the LR TV. It would have been an easy thing for Heartland to run an additional HDMI cable from the LR entertainment center to the outside...

    Couple of Issues

    Just an FYI, our dealer talked to Heartland and they reiterated that they would not send out larger inverters--at least until our dealer has run an number of other checks on the unit (wiring, voltage, etc) as they claim most problems in this area have been caused by faulty/loose wiring, not an...

    Outdoor entertainment center in 2015 Landmark Key Largo

    Thanks for the info, folks. You would have thought that HL would have taken the time/expense to run a HDMI cable along with the RG6 from the LR entertainment to the outside entertainment on such a high end coach. Now we're stuck with running a cable through the LR or a pricy wireless HDMI...

    5th Wheel Covers-ease of use?

    I've browsed the threads regarding 5th Wheel covers pro & con, but haven't found anything about ease of use. How difficult are they to install/remove? Do you have to get on the roof to do so? Is it a 2 person job? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Trim strip cracked and falling off

    Also happened to our 2011 BC but we are 8 months out of warranty and Heartland refused to cover it, even though they knew that they had used defective materials before the warranty expired. Seems like they could have notified all BC owners of a possible problem as soon as they knew of it. The...
