Poll: What Landmark 365 Floor Plan should Heartland work on next?

[HEH458]

Mike, I agree with everything you said, especially points 1-5 and 12 & 13. Having the washer/dryer in the hallway is a great floorplan - hate seeing the Cascade gone. Maybe it will be replaced with something similar. Also,I never have understood why the overhead cabinets at the dinner table and over the head off the bed are not on a full time unit where storage is a premium. The Bighorn 3585RL (same fp as the Grand Canyon) has overhead cabinets at the table.

Any news on the 38' or less Landmarks? We love our Key Largo but we are on a waiting list again for above 40 footers. Below this would be no problem. It's time to go below 40.

See post 77, Tom said the Syracuse is going to be a shorter floorplan.

Just for fun Connie and I went to the Atlanta RV Show today. We didn't see any Heartlands there, but our favorite 5er was a Front living room. I can see why they are so popular.

I'm working on two shortie floor plans that I will have the forum members take a look at soon and a great FL. I'm excited for everyone to see them.

talk soon

thanks
Tom

Who decides on the name? Think they should invoke the feeling of travel like Cheyenne or Juneau, or how about Punxsutawney?😊

The Landmark series has always been named after locations/landmarks: Key Largo (my personal favorite!), Ontario, Augusta, Savannah, San Antonio, Rushmore, Grand Canyon, Monterrey, Charleston, Newport...etc

 

[TomMontague]

Am I missing something? All the names we have so far are cities.

Newport
Ashland
Key West
Charleston
Madison ( new )
Syracuse ( new )
Denver ( new )

It's getting harder because there are several more brands using city names so the list is getting smaller and smaller.

Thanks
Tom

Up until the 2014 Hershey show I saw no front living room models that piqued my curisoity. But, they are coming around fast.

Things i didn't like previously and would steer me away:

1) Seating positons in the front living room. Our next trailer will have the "large" TV directly opposite the recliners. No head turning to watch TV.
2) Uncomfortable couches due to the "platform" design.
2) Small cramped kitchens.
3) Narrow cave like hallway to bedroom
4) Having to pass through the bathroom to get to the bedroom e.g. no split baths.
5) Lack of a half bath option.

Unfortunately, I think the ideal FL will be one of the larger 41+ rigs

Duane,

It doesnt have a half-bath, but you ought to see the Charleston. The prototype had a 65" LED TV "across" from the recliners. When sitting in the recliners, it felt like you were in a den and not in the LR/Kit. It really felt like a separate space.

 

[murry135]

Yes, the Charleston is a nice unit with the arch way however I think the 65" TV is too big for that short viewing distance. Maybe a smaller option can be thought about.

 

[TomMontague]

55" will probably be the TV we land on.

Thanks,
Tom

 

[mikeandconnie]

Porthole, Yes the nice FL rig we saw was 42'9" and set up well but it didn't have the Landmark look.

I have to say that I am impressed that Landmark is getting the attention it deserves with a GM that is seriously making it a signature Heartland product. I am also happy to see the progress that is being made to introduce a shorter Landmark. I have enjoyed a 34' Landmark Shenandoah for almost 10 years and am sitting in it now as I write this reply in Florida. I wanted a luxury unit that could be pulled by a 2500HD diesel truck and the old ads pictured the Landmark with that kind of short bed truck. This "classic" trailer was a great choice for us and I hope that the new shorter Landmark will be just as good or better than this and towable with a 2500HD truck.

 

[murry135]

55" will probably be the TV we land on.

Thanks,
Tom

Like I said a nice looking unit and if I remember correctly didn't it win Best in Show in Tampa? 55" would be better and has anymore thought gone into increasing GWR to allow for fresh water and our daily full timer consumables?

Hey Jim,

If it were not for having surgery late December, as all other things worked out, we probably could have headed south for a week with the rest of our Northern brethren and seen for ourselves.

As for the TV size - I say - go big, our go home

 

[porthole]

So looking at the concept "Madison" on the corporate site now, that looks like an ideal trailer for a 40' platform to start on.

Personally, I would never buy a trailer that you had to walk past an open toilet to go from one room to the next.

Split baths for those that like them are ok, because you at least have a toilet room, now matter how small it may be. But waking up and have a toilet as your first view - no go.

 

[Bryced15]

I'd be surprised if the Madison is actually 36'2" like the website states. That looks like a lot to fit into that short of a unit. Looks like it would have to be at least 40' if not longer.

 

[TomMontague]

Just noticed the length online. That isn't close. I would guess 41' would be closer to the right number. I will get that fixed next week when I'm back in the office.

Talk soon
Tom
