It has been reported on Josh the RV nerd and RV Miles that the Landmark line has been discontinued. I don’t live here on this forum nearly as much as I used to, but I find no mention of whether these are true or being misrepresente. Why do I ask, because I’m a Landmark owner and I know once a...

Have you ever weighed the trailer and weighed it side to side? if no one has mentioned you can’t go by the weights listed on the rig itself.

Grade 8 is for high torque applications, but doesn‘t hold up well to shock or sudden impacts. That is why grade 5 is better in shock or impact applications as they are more malleable. Yes they will deform, but they won’t necessarily shear as easy.

Unless Locktite changed, the red was designed and developed for permanent applications. Yes, you can break the adhesion but it usually takes heat.

Based on the picture it wasn’t sheared bolts as there would be parts still in threaded part of the axle flange. While it isn’t normal to utilize locktit, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use the blue product. Keep in mind that hardened bolts (grade 8) have a higher degree of shearing then a grade...

Have you checked to see if your trailer is on the recall list. It seems a number of trailers with external LP hookups are going to be recalled. Check on rvlemonlaw.com.

I have used both. Once I get to our destination I/or the wife turn on both and leave them on. As far as cleaning the electrical part, it’s only @ $15 so while I do the anode around twice a year I will do the electric once a year. I also make sure I rinse the tank until I no longer get any build...

We have traveled with both shades down but within the side bars so it minimizes their movements. We tried up but noticed the temp in the coach was much higher after a travel day.

Don’t go on published specs. You MUST weigh the unit and truck to find the ACTUAL numbers. Make sure when you weigh the trailer and truck are loaded as you would normally travel.

If you have an opportunity to take a factory tour you will see why all the debris. They build and do nothing more then clear the big objects out of their way as they continue to install items. It’s too bad that they don’t clean as they go, but after taking a tour the factory floor is nothing...

Not real sure what my dealer did when my rig was new, but the hinges were super stiff and I found it a real PIA to close the door. My dealer did something to “loosen” up the hinges so now you can push the door closed from mid point. I installed a door latch to hold the door open which I prefer.

Ok, I’ll ask. What did you move onto if I may be so bold?

It’s a lot cheaper then a .......

I would not recommend towing in overdrive. If you noticed especially in hilly areas the transmission more then likely was “hunting and pecking” (downshifting and upshifting) trying to find an acceptable rpm for the engine/transmission. This causes excessive wear. Also, keep in mind there is more...

Not sure what you mean? There is no filter that I’m aware of on a splendide washer. (We have had one for 4 years). As for water filters I use as I stated earlier 3 in-line filters. All three in canisters which I prefer as I can see what the filters actually look like and can adjust my...
