    Wet bolt kits or not?

    Yes the standard bolt/shackles kits are a problem. However I think you might have a different setup on you landmark. On our Big Country the 3 year old main bushing on our trailer equiflex system that had roughly 12000 miles on it was completely worn through and almost ruined the equalizer.

    Lippert springs strike again

    Emco is the manufacturer of the spring but they manufacture Lipperts springs to Lippert's specifications. If you look on their website the 4 leaf pack 3000# spring is a nonstock item which means its not an off the shelf product thus produced for a specific manufacturer. The off the shelf 3000#...

    Lippert springs strike again

    I apologize for not getting back to all on this sooner but we are now getting around to addressing this issue. After going around several times with everyone at Lippert, they flat out denied my claim that the spring failure was their fault. So I will state my case and let you make your own...

    Lippert springs strike again

    I finally recieved a call back (several at that) from Heartland yesterday morning about our spring issue. I explained my situation with this system in great detail as stated in my first post. We tried to get Lippert on the phone as well to discuss the possible solutions but had to leave a...

    Lippert springs strike again

    ARRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!! I just got back from dropping the trailer off at a spring/axle shop to diagnose an uneven tire wear problem. After further inspection of the suspension I seem to have the same problem as everyone else. Flat, warped, under engineered springs. The owner of the shop (who...

    Water, water, everywhere...front cap!

    So today I un-hitched the trailer from the truck from a trip last weekend. It has been rainy/snowy over the last few days and the trailer has been leaning down toward the front at about a 15* angle. So as I am un-hitching and the trailer slowly comes up off the hitch to a more level position I...

    Fungus growing under coach

    As for a fix or wood type, I would use a marine grade 3/4 ply and a construction grade vapor barrier with some of the underbelly (corregated plastic) screwed over the barrier to protect it from the elements. Our trailer is in storage right now but if I remeber correctly the only area of this...

    Purchasing new 28BRS + ProPride 3P and Need a Spring Camping Destination!

    If your on the west slope I would head over Moab. This time of year the high desert can be a great place to escape to, cool to cold nights and mild days. Plenty of hiking, biking and fishing in that area.

    Kayak transporting

    So I have searched everywhere but I cannot find a pic of us hauling our kayaks. We ended up going with the Thule rack system on top of our 4 door lwb ford. It works out great and have actually thought about going with a front goal post setup to offer more support. We typically haul three...

    Houston to Seattle?

    This is the route that we took back in November when traveling from Lake Tahoe to College Station for the A&M/T.U. game to tailgate. I would defiantely recomend this route, although instead of I-5 we did 99 through CA. Essentially this would like traveling to Dallas, you can either use 45...

    Generator

    You guys are completely right!.....now with that said, we use our Honda 2000's for 75+ hours a year for medium to heavy duty loads, the extra money for the added reliability was worth it for us. Especially for those that will only use the generator once or twice or only to charge just the...

    Where Do You Buy Wall Hugger Power Recliners?

    I know that these chairs are probably more than you want to spend but let me give you a hands down, these are unltimately the best. The DW has had a 3 level semi fusion on levels L5-L2 and will tell anyone these chairs are the only ones that give back pain relief. Unlike typical recliners that...

    Generator

    You will find plenty of my postings about our Honda 2000i's and how much we love them, by all means you get what you pay for. We had a friend show up at our last tailgate party with a cheaper (can't remember the brand) 2000 that was litterally still in the box. He spent all weekend messing...

    Under cabinet coffee maker

    we used to have one in house and after several years of use we noticed it was starting to warp the wood above it due to the steam that is generated by the maker.

    Problems searching

    Ok so with the forum upgrade the google search seems to have disapeared. I am a member of several online communities that run vBullitin and I actaully used to run one myself (note: 8+ years ago). I have never had any other forum with a search function that is as ineffective as this one. I know...
