    Black Water tank valve cable

    We have been having issues with the black water tank valve in a 2010 Landmark Grand Canyon. It never has worked very smooth and easy from day 1, the grey water tanks so far are much better. The cable finally came apart behind the handle, it is still attached at the valve. Which I must add is...

    Grand Canyon bedroom slide

    I have a 2011 Grand Canyon which at purchase I had intended to keep updating every two years or so. Well, it didn't happen and the year I was going to do it, when I looked the super slide bedroom and desk with kitchen peninsula was no longer available! So, even though my husband says get rid...

    Heartland's -- 2011 LANDMARK LM Grand Canyon

    Just came across this posting and am wondering if you bought the 2011 Grand Canyon, and if so what you paid for it? I have one I am thinking about selling this fall. We are happy with it, just thinking about something different or retiring. We use it June-Nov. just my husband and I in it...

    Water freeze up where?

    Well, it thawed out about 2:00 yesterday afternoon with sun and running the furnace much warmer than I would have otherwise. Last night it got down to mid 20's I think and everything good but I did put a small fan heater in the basement and flushed the toilet during the night. The furnace was...

    Water freeze up where?

    We have weathered our first cold spell in SD in a 2011 Grand Canyon. I filled the fresh water tank and figured on running on that until it warms up. Got down to about 20 degrees last night and this morning no water and the pump calling for it steady. The gas furnace was on but turned down to...

    washer/dryer

    I had the Splendide stack factory installed in a 2011 Grand Canyon and it is great! Works well and fairly quiet, looks good the way it fits too. The vent iWould be s just out the sidewall, quite high of course. Had a smaller stack in a previous unit a dealer installed without the "pan"...

    Give Heartland your feedback on the 2012 Landmark - what do you want?

    I bought the 2011 Grand Canyon specifically for the desk area! You have to keep that so on the road self employed have floorplan for it. Definitely do not like the furniture arrangement, if you go back to the couch fitting on the back wall and the recliners in the slide out (yes, they should...

    No napping if someone is walking around in 5th wheel

    I went with the Steadyfast on 2011 LM and they help a lot, settles down the washer too. You also need to train people to work on developing their "trailer walk", our son is 22 now and no longer along with us, but he still has a habit of walking lightly on the balls of his feet when shoeless...

    Dometic RM3962 in 2011 Landmark

    Well, it has been really humid too. I'll try turning it down, had to turn it up at first as it didn't seem to cool well. I don't remember what they were for refrigerators but the last Holiday Rambler fridge the fins stayed perfectly clean for sure, and I think the King of the Road frig. before...

    Dometic RM3962 in 2011 Landmark

    This may be premature as I haven't gotten out the Dometic book, but isn't this supposed to be an auto defrost model? The fins in the frig are getting pretty thickly frosted up, I thought they were supposed to defrost into the drip tray under them. Still cooling well, at first it seemed to take...

    Landmark grey tanks

    Yep, same here but haven't gotten around to moving the striker. Don't know if I'll move the latch to hold it open or just keep pulling on it to latch it open. Used the label maker to mark under the bedroom slide control OPEN BEDROOM DOOR, seems pointless to have it marked at the top of the...

    Tow vehicle

    Ted, What are you getting for mileage with the 2011? Heard the urea burners are doing well. I get about 9 1/2 mpg with the Grand Canyon (depending, of course) and about 18 running empty, but always pretty hard with the 2010 F350. I pulled a 40' MacDon flexhead (tricycle trailer, no wait on...

    Landmark grey tanks

    Pretty sure bathroom is grey 1 and kitchen grey 2. I have a 2011 Grand Canyon also, does your bedroom door work OK? Mine is about a half inch high to both shut and latch open, haven't gotten around to fixing it.

    Tow vehicle

    I've been pulling a 2011 Grand Canyon with a 2010 single tired 6.4 F350 and it is fine, am probably just over 2000 miles now since May. Also have a F550 dually but it really isn't necessary for the Landmark as it pulls easy for what you've got there. We had a 40' King of the Road we pulled...

    Water Softener

    Just an update to say I bought a softener from a water guy on ebay putting them together himself for $248. shipping included. Not fancy but works fine, manually regenerated.

    2011 rushmore tv cable wiring

    Just to update, got the Traveler dish working. Went up top and there was a coax not hooked up! Everything fired right up then and works slick. Still wish there was a splitter to control both TV's with one receiver, dvd, etc. but I guess in this day and age they figure people want two...

    Water Coming out of Underbelly

    Got under trailer with drill and drive socket. Dropped the bolts along the axles and pushed up on the low points, still wet. Also wet in front under the 5th wheel. It is either wet road or grey 1 tank issue. With an apparent wet underbelly issues from this forum, maybe it shouldn't be a one...

    Generator heat buildup

    I had a generator installed by Heartland in a Landmark Grand Canyon. Upon use I noticed it gets hotter than a pistol in the compartment when I opened it to turn off a light that was left on. Friends with generators in motorhomes say the compartments are very well ventilated but this one really...

    Water Coming out of Underbelly

    I've got water in the underbelly issues also. First 400 miles with a new Grand Canyon, stopped on a quiet freeway entrance so was tipped some to the right. To my dismay water poured out of the underbelly on the right side. Grey 1 was 1/3 full, only maybe 15 gallons at most fresh tank...

    2011 rushmore tv cable wiring

    Ok, so what is with this tv cabling in the Landmarks? So far I've just been seeing things written about no switch or anything to easily control the bedroom and main tv systems. Just got a GC home and haven't really had time to deal with it but it is in the back of my mind bugging me. Have...

    pillow top mattress

    Well, got the Grand Canyon home cut down to the queen, a tremendous difference in the space to get around it to the W/D and to use the drawers even though the standard King is not quite a King.. We did wind up with a $20. Elkhart mattress co. mattress but I am switching it out with a memory...

    pillow top mattress

    I just got home from Elkhart at 1:00 AM and left my Grand Canyon there I'd gone to pick up. The build sheet specified a queen and it had the King in it. I personally feel the bedroom is much better suited to a queen and then it is easy to switch out to a true upgrade mattress. It's not like I...

    Water Softener

    Just to mention I did look at the previous posts on the subject, but the newest is a year old. Maybe there's something else out there now or at least more experience with what they've had.

    Water Softener

    Picking up a Grand Canyon next week and am interested in hearing what some of you have done for a water softener system? Previously I've used magnets and years ago a unit that used some type of cartridge, don't remember what it was called. I see now there are small units available both auto...

    Color change for Big Country

    Just my two cents worth here but we considered the BC as they have a floorplan similiar to the Grand Canyon and my husband really likes the grey exterior. When I saw the 2011 two tone decor I was pretty unsure until we got in one, then was surprised that we liked it. However, even though the...

    2011 Landmark Grand Canyon Demo Coach

    Hello Jim, Thanks for the conversation the other day. Made it to the Heartland factory while dealing with some other business in the area, very impressive and extremely friendly. We have ordered the Grand Canyon and the dealer thinks he can arrange with other units on the build schedule if...

    2011 Landmark Grand Canyon Demo Coach

    Hello Jim, Am getting ready to order a Grand Canyon and am wondering what comments you have to make at this point now that you've been in it awhile? What do you think of the self leveling system as that is one thing I am undecided about? Also they tell me the majority are ordering Godiva...
