    Good Bye, Landmark Shenandoah & Heartland Forum

    I was impressed at the very beginning of the Landmark coach and purchased a 2006 Landmark Shenandoah in 2005. I enjoyed and worked hard to keep the coach in good condition and shared many times on the forum about maintaining and modifying this "classic" coach. Jim and I worked together for the...

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

    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...

    Hydraulic Landing Gear Uneven.

    I'm probably a bit late to respond to this thread, but I think the uneven weight distribution from one side to the other causes the frame to twist as the landing gear raises the front of the unit. Since the landing gear hydraulics are plumbed to have an even pressure on both sides, the leg of...

    Black Tank Issue?

    This reply may be too late, but I found the vent and the toilet down pipes screwed into fittings on top of the black tank. My vent pipe leaked because insufficient paste was applied to the threads of the adaptor fitting. Since the pipes were glued into the adaptor I had to cut the vent pipe...

    Longview,TX-Canton,oh. Concerned about bridges with no height clearance signs.

    I hope you have a safe and enoyable trip to Canton, OH - my home town. I would enjoy meeting you there but, unfortunately, I can't because we are in Florida with our Landmark and won't be back until April.

    Brakesmart Controller

    Thanks. I will look for the Max Brake contoller at the Tampa RV show. Is there any recommendation for the Max Brake controller from Heartland owners?

    Brakesmart Controller

    Is anyone still using a Brakesmart controller? I like the concept but I can't find any online support for the unit any longer. I have to put the gain on #8 to feel much braking effect from it. Also, I get a message "trailer brakes detected" as I am towing the trailer. I press "E" and the message...

    Mushrooms anybody?

    I had a serious fungus issue with my storage basement floor and replaced the entire floor with a composite material. The problem was the strand board couldn't dry out being wrapped top and bottom. Moisture that is absorbed by the strand board needs a way to dry. Take water leaks seriously if...

    self adjust brake owners

    I'm going to add one more site with more information. This says that the brakes adjust in both directions but they adjust tighter going in reverse than forward. If the brakes are placed in the wrong wheel position, that is, placing a left side unit on the right, they can over adjust and cause...

    Here is a link to a Dexter ad that mentions how to break in the brake pads. http://www.easternmarine.com/12-x-2-NEV-R-ADJUST-Electric-Brake-Assy-LH-6k-K23-458-00-0/

    Black water tank pressure build up

    Just a thought. Check to see if the black vent pipe is too long and is tight against the vent cap on the roof. If so, that would seal the end of the pipe and not let it breath.

    self adjust brake owners

    TeJay, Are you sure the Never-Adjust brakes tighten going forward and reverse? I haven't looked at mine for a while but I think the magnetic actuator arm movement has something to do with the forward only adjust. The company ad states the adjustment as a forward only feature.

    self adjust brake owners

    I put them on my Shenandoah and they seem to be working ok. A friend put them on his Big Horn and he found them to adjust too tightly causing the drums to get too hot. He took them off and put the originals back on. I would simply disconnect the auto adjust feature and adjust manually if...
