2011 Landmark Grand Canyon Demo Coach
Last demo coach (2009 Landmark Pinehurst) had Level Up installed after the first season of using the coach.
Current demo coach (2011 Landmark Grand Canyon) has the Lippert Electronic Leveling system on it.
What is the same for these 2 systems:
- Leveling is done using hydraulics
- Level Up uses 6 points of hydraulic contacts with the ground (6 rams)
- Lippert Hydraulic Leveling uses 4 points of hydraulic contacts with the ground (4 rams)
- Lippert Hydraulic Leveling controls the tandem electric stabilizer jacks automatically as part of the leveling system/process
- Lippert Hydraulic Leveling uses a touch pad controller (not wireless), mounted in a storage cabinet
- The older Level Up that I had used a switch box that connected to the system via a heavy wire umbilical
- Both systems are awesome
- No more leveling boards with either system
- I am more pleased with the amount of control and ease of control of the new system
- I'd prefer to have 6 hydraulically controlled rams with big round feet on the ground vs 4
- Four rams do get the job done and could be the right balance of cost vs function/benefit

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 necessary for it to be ready sometime the first week of May. They are now over 6 weeks out and have gone to a 6 day week as very busy. They had a run of Big Country on the line that day but a couple Landmarks around getting finished up.

JIm,
Nice unit...we're going to be fulltiming in a few years and looked at the Landmark Mt Rushmore and the Gand Canyon. The Mt Rushmore would work better for us! So we'll be trading in our 2010 Edge for a Landmark. I really wanted to stay with Heartland, the DW wasn't so sure. I explained that the factory handled the few issues ( first year run) without any issues, with the Edge being the "entry' level trailer, they could've ignored us but didn't. So a new fith wheel & tow vehicle is in our future. We will be getting the full body paint. I guess I like to stand out in a crowd

Hello!
As of last evening, we are the proud owners of a 2011 Landmark Grand Canyon! It's our first fifth wheel and we couldn't be happier. Our salesman encouraged us to join this forum and judging by the information I've already read, it was a good move.
Since we're brand new at this, we welcome your expertise and advice! We're excited about learning new things and making new friends!
Blessings,
Robert and Kathy

Thanks, Jim!
Sorry I'm just now replying.
I've already benefitted from this forum. You're right, there are a great bunch of folks here willing to share their knowledge with us newbies!
We love our Grand Canyon! Had an issue with the frig door coming open during travel. We'll be taking it to the dealership before we leave here for them to either fix it or get us a new door. Currently we have to bungee it so the doors won't come open...Hard to imagine this happening to a 2011 but that's the only thing we've had a problem with. Love the leveling system!
Thanks again for the warm welcome!
