Just got back from checking out our Newport that arrived last night. It's wonderful! We are fulltimers and sold our 2005 "classic" Landmark Golden Gate. Options off the top include full body paint, disc brakes, Mor/Ryde pin box, 3 a/c's, fantastic fan in 1/2 bath, king bed, theatre seats, dishwasher, programmable safe, maximum vinyl flooring, dual pane windows, yetti package, fireplace, honey maple cabinets, outdoor entertainment, slide toppers, aluminum awning covers, Cheap Heat, and last but not least Mor/Ryde IS. The fit and finish of this unit is the best we've seen of a new 365. We can tell a difference since Heartland started the inspections on every Landmark. Also, we like the new fridge Heartland is using and the reworked cabinetry and counter space in the Newport kitchen. Can't wait to take delivery! (For those of you wanting to know, unit weight on sticker is 15,011. No generator, before Mor/Ryde IS.)
Our new Landmark 365 Newport arrived.

Hi Bryce and Elise,
Wow - congrats on an amazing looking coach! Hopefully the wait was worth it. So happy for you both. Looking forward to seeing you at the Knoxville show if you make it. Want to see how big that grin is on your faces. We're staying at Two Rivers RV Landing in case you're staying in your RV when you come to the show
When you get a chance, when the coach is prefectly level on a hard surface, I'd like to know the overall height. Once you know that (tip form a friend of mine), add it to a label and put it on your truck windshield in the upper-left corner. That way, you'll have it at the ready if needed

Thank you all for the compliments. Will do Jim. Our grins are pretty big right now as you can see from the goofy one I've got in the pictures. I'm sure we'll be smiling for a long time to come. Excited to get to some more rallies too. Looking forward to the show. We will probably just drive up for the day though. See you in a few weeks!

Very nice looking coach, good luck and enjoy, we love our 2013 Key Largo also. I see you had the MorRyde IS installed is Heartland now offering that as an upgrade or did you make special arragements to have it done before taking delivery at your dealership? I had it installed last Spring and love it. I hope HL has started offering it in the options package if they did Tom Montague is listening and doing what we ask. Once again enjoy your new coach.
We made arrangements with our dealer and Gary Wheeler at Mor/Ryde to have the IS installed after the coach was completed at Heartland. It was not an option offered through Heartland. I believe Heartland is cooperating in the transport of the unit to Mor/Ryde though. Indiana Transport took the unit from Heartland to Mor/Ryde.

This is how we handled the Mor Ryde IS installation too....worked quite well and worth every single penny!

Bryce and Elise - somehow we missed that your new "condo on wheels" is in. Congratulations We know ya'll have been waiting for over a year for this floor plan to come out but the wait was well worth it. Where are ya'll going to base out of? Would love to come see it. Again - Congratulation and hope to see ya'll down the road.

We would love to have you over. Just shoot me an email and we can get something coordinated. See you at the Knoxville RV show if we don't see you before then.
No, we had to eat the extra cost of the forced upgraded axles put on at Heartland. We did ask about a credit, but no go. Just part of the cost of our choice to put Mor/Ryde on though. I'm not really sure what happens to those brand new axles taken off at Mor/Ryde. Would be curious to know.

The installation employees at Mor/Ryde take them home and build trailers out of them if you don't take them with you.

Most businesses would analyze the secondary market to determine what value the axles might have. Given that some are new and some are used, the value might vary - a lot. There's also going to be a cost of reselling that would be deducted from that value.
If you were buying axle assemblies and someone offered "almost new" parts, what kind of discount would you want to take the risk that they might have something wrong with them and certainly wouldn't have a manufacturer warranty?
Would you want to buy parts that had 10,000 miles on them? Value of those is probably close to zero.
