    Portable generator storage

    I have a 2015 Landmark Ashland that has the generator prep for the Onan. Would love to do the same setup you did with your rig using the Champion generator. Is it possible for you to share what you did to make this conversion? Very much appreciate your help.

    What did you do to your camper today?

    Today I added a "Hatch Lift" to my front cargo door (where the batteries are located on our Ashland). Cost $80 but what a difference it makes not to have the door slamming on my head. Now I can actually use the area where the generator would be for some serious storage. Hatch Lift is a very good...

    Back Window on a 2015 Ashland mechanism stripped

    Very frustrated! We bought our Ashland 2015 in December of 2014. I had health issues at the time and did my best to keep the unit warm and ready for 2015. I got better and we went to over 10,000 miles of trips to Disneyworld, Yellowstone, Arizona and California. We do truly love our RV. BUT...

    Anyone else having problems with RAM 3500?

    We have a 2014 Ram 3500 with 31,654 miles on it. Have towed our 2015 Ashland over 9,000 miles. Did have issues with the tire pressure sensors (they replaced), the navigation went out (they replaced the radio with navigation) but we still love the truck. I drive it everyday to work and I never...

    2015 Key West - PDI Questions

    Re: 2015 key west Ron has been more than helpful multiples for us and took a bad situation and turned it into a very good situation. So if you need to look him up the name is spelled Ron Scarberry. He is a top notch guy.

    Fulltime= No Warranty?

    Just a word of advise. Never try and do this through the dealer. Call Heartland ASAP and have them explain it to the dealer. Better yet find a authorized (or get one authorized like we did) warranty repair facility and never go back to that dealer again.

    2018 Mountain Regional Rally

    We live in Santa Fe and do the balloon festival every year. The event brings in 200,000 people into a city that has 600,000 so it is is a zoo. The RV park is nice but being 9 miles from Balloon park is a LONG way when traffic is bumper to bumper. We love going but we also love going home at the...

    New Mexico Chat Room

    So how do we sign up for the rally? Still need to make sure that the dates do not conflict with our boys spring break.

    2015 Ram 35r00 DRW

    I have a 2014 Ram 3500 dually and we have a Landmark Ashland at 42 ft and a hitch weight of 3320 lbs. The truck is perfectly level without airbags. I have now added the Timbren DR3500CA Suspension Enhancement System. They are NOT air bags but help take the load off the leaf springs when towing...

    We thought we bought the winter package?

    Winter Ready I think is a Oxymoron. Our dealer also told us we had the winterize package but no heated tanks and we ended up with frozen pipes and a broken water filter due to freezing and that is even with a heater in the basement. If you want to be safe and you do not live in your RV then get...

    New F-350 --- 450 miles and getting average 20 mpg

    Great mileage. The only time I get 20 miles to the gallon is when I am driving down hill. The best average MPG I have ever gotten with my Ram is 14 MPG and I have 3.42 rear end.

    New Mexico Chat Room

    This event is not in New Mexico. There is Silver City and they have a great blues festival that is around Memorial day each year. Highly recommend it.

    Load testing the Electrical Management Sysem (EMS)?

    The system sheds loads if it exceeds the total current of the circuit. A 50 amp service has two legs (L1 and L2) and each one is 50 amps. If you turn on all 3 ACs you will have 2 ACs on one leg and 1 AC on the other. If your microwave is on the circuit with the 1 AC then that is the AC that is...

    2015 Ram 3500 DRW 4X4 Question

    What are you towing? The Aisin is more heavy duty but the 68RFE is a very proven tranny that has a very good track record. In the real world unless you are towing something really big you might not notice much difference.
