The time was May 2012. The location was Pine Mountain, Georgia. The occasion was the Heartland Southeast Regional Rally hosted by Dave Yocum. For Fran and I, it was our first rally with our 2012 Landmark. At the rally we met a couple, it was their first rally also. We sat together and...

Just wanted you to know, "if I would have won" I would have bought you all a brand new 2016....hmm, well, a brand new 2016 something. Dick

I cleaned all my slide toppers and both awnings yesterday. I noticed a small tear (about 1 inch long) at the very top of my main awning. This tear is at the very top, up along the RV wall, so it should be pretty easy to get to if I roll up the awning and leave it out about a foot to access the...

MICE. Thank God it's not my RV, but I have a good friend that has mice in his RV. He has a Bighorn, He doesn't know how they got in but would sure like to get rid of them. I told his wife that I would post the question on the forum and ask advice. So, how do you get rid of mice that seem to...

With all the talk on the forum about bearings and maintenance I thought I would look into doing mine. I've read info on 6000 and a lot on 7000 lb. axles, but nothing on the upgraded 8000 lb. axles on my Landmark. What I'm looking for are the part numbers for the inner bearing, outer bearing...

I have a 2014 Landmark Grand Canyon with two large awnings, (the main one and one over the entertainment center) with LED lighting under both of them. I started losing a few lights under the main awning, then a few more and then a few more. It will have 3 or 4 or 5 lights out in a row and...

During our extensive vacation this summer 2 of our MCD shades completely fell off. The largest one over the couch and one over the recliner chairs. The spring clips (held by 1 screw) were torn right out by the RV bouncing around while traveling. I feel the larger shades should be fastened with...

Would somebody describe "exactly" what happens when the toilet burps? I've never experienced or heard the toilet burp. Every time the black tank reads "full", I empty the tank. I'm assuming that if I would not empty the tank at that time and keep using the toilet, that I would get to...

We are currently in Yaak, Montana (just outside of Troy) and we are going to Canmore, AB (just east of Banff National Park). We plan on taking Rt 2 east to Rt 37 to 93 crossing into Canada at Roosville. Then taking Rt 3 to 22 towards Calgary. Then connecting to Canada 1 (which I think is the...

After doing some reading on this forum and also doing some research, I think that I've decided to get a air bag system for my truck. Although there are many opinions out there, I've have not read about any product that would be specific to my truck. I've read many reports about systems that...

Really puzzled on this one. I've read quite a few threads on tire replacement recommendations for your tow vehicle. The general consensus would be to go with the Michelin tires. What I don't understand is the huge difference in tire life that is being reported. Anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000...

We just went through one heck of a hailstorm at Cheyenne Mountain State Park in Colorado Springs, CO. I spoke to several campers and they all said that it was the worst hail storm that they have ever been through. I also spoke to the park ranger and asked if these were common. His answer was...

With all the tornado activity we're hearing about I thought that it might be a good idea to set up a few scenarios on "What would you do"? Please post "any" thoughts, ideas, tips, etc. that you might have. It just might be something that one of us would not have thought about. 1) You are...

We have the Tailgator portable satellite and use the Dish Pay-as-you-go service. My question is, we will be traveling to the Canadian Rockies this summer and would like to know if we will be able to receive a signal? We are happy with the system when we are activated "BUT" dealing with...

I was walking by the RV this morning when I heard a noise. It sounded like....Pshhhhhh. I opened up the door to the outdoor entertainment center. The sound system was on and I have no idea why. I pushed the power button to shut it off and went about my business. A couple of hours later, I'm...

I noticed a hydraulic leak on a leveling leg on my 2014 Landmark (6 point leveling system). It's the middle leg on the off-door side, the one just under the udc. I called Heartland Customer Service and as always, they were great to work with. There were actually 3 issues (all minor). They...

Happy New Year everybody. Dick

Just got my 2014 Landmark back after a "3 month" stay at a dealership for minor warranty work. I'm not going to get into that now except for saying that it was a frustrating experience. The reason for this post is, I'm having a problem with my leveling system. When I got the unit home from the...

We opted for the outside entertainment center for our new Landmark. Although it is great in the evening, we find the glare on the TV screen makes it practically useless during the day. Has anyone come up with a creative way to handle this? We love to watch NASCAR and football but need to go...

I guess the title says it all. We are always wiping water off the storage drawer and wooden base moulding near the floor. If this keeps up it will ruin the finish on the drawer and base moulding not to mention possible future rot. I've inspected the seals and from my untrained eye, they seem...

I have somebody interested in the G614's that I have for sale but we have an issue to straighten out. He has a 2011 Greystone that came with ST235/80R16E and wants to know if my LT235/85R16 tires "and wheels" will fit his lug pattern on his Greystone. He said that he called Lippert, and...

Just used my 6-point leveling system for the first time yesterday. The rear jack (doorside) was leaking fluid badly. Didn't notice it until I had quite a puddle on the floor. The leak was coming from a 3/16 allen plug located at the very top of the jack leg. I don't know what it is or what is...

On July 30, 2013, I went to the dealership to pick up my new 2014 Landmark Grand Canyon. I drove it home (about 60 miles) and put it in my garage. I’ve decided to replace the Goodyear G614's G rated tires and wheels that came with the RV with Goodyear G114's H rated tires and wheels. In...

We cut our summer trip in half so we could come back to Florida to pick up our new Landmark Grand Canyon. We are now having alot of fun finding places to put all our "stuff" that we took out of the Key Largo. It's a different floorplan, so things are not fitting in the same nooks and crannies...

Would anybody know if the LED lights under the awning are functional on the 2014 coaches while the awning is in the stored position? Thank you Dick

Yesterday (Thursday morning) we received a call from Ron Dickeson. Ron is the Regional Sales Manager for Heartland. He told us that the coach that we ordered back in May just came off the assembly line that morning and that it was ready to be shipped off to paint. He mentioned that if we...

My wife has mentioned that the microwave in our unit (2012 Landmark) does not seem to have adequate power. Can I purchase a residential microwave/convection oven combo and install it in place of the stock one? Will it fit in the same exact spot? If the new unit is more powerful, will I have any...

A couple of months ago, this was a real inconvenience, but then it seemed to have cleared up. Well, for the past two or three days, it seems to have joined us again. I don't have a problem getting on the forum at first, but after about 5 or 10 minutes I get the "Server too busy" message and...

Just wondering if you could post your experiences (good or bad) that you have had with the Camping World service department. I'm told that if you purchase an RV from Camping World that you receive an "Elite Membership Card" and that this card entitles you to priority treatment over the walk-in...

If I was ordering a new Landmark and trading in my 2012 Key Largo, what would you do about the tires. The new unit will come with the Goodyear G614'S, but I was thinking of selling them or working out a deal with a tire shop (if possible) and putting on the 17.5 wheels with the Goodyear H114's...

We are real close to ordering a 2014 Grand Canyon. Does anyone know the following on the factory installed option for the stackable W/D? 1.) What is the make/model? 2.) Is the dryer vented? 3.) Does it come with a washer drip pan? Thanks, as always, for your help.

We are very close to pulling the trigger on a 2014 landmark. We saw a new Bighorn at the Alabama rally a few weeks ago and thought that the LED strip lighting directly under the main awning looked great. Does anybody know if that strip lighting is on the 2014 Landmarks? (either standard or...

How are all of these RV's being delivered to the dealers all over the country? A large dealership would need many different models to present to the potential customer to show off sizes and floorplans. How does Heartland get one unit or twenty units to these dealers. As far as shows, like...

Hi, I've heard many good reports about the new "whisper quiet AC" but just this past week I heard two different people say that they have had problems with it. So, we are thinking of downsizing our Key Largo to a Grand Canyon or Bighorn and I thought I would ask my Heartland friends to comment...

Just a quick question. I am putting my spare tire on to replace one tire that has some unusual wear. What would be the correct torque for the lug nuts for a Goodyear 110 psi - G614?

Good morning, Lately, there have been several posts discussing the upgrade from the Goodyear G614 to the Goodyear 17.5 G114, The 4 tires on my Key Largo are starting to show wear on the outside edge. They have approx. 18,000 miles on them. We are planning a trip this summer that will add an...

Just came back from Mickey's rally in Williston, FL. While I was there I had my rig weighed by "Weigh-It". I was very pleased to hear that everything was within limits...close, but within limits. While he was there, Bill (the owner of Weigh-It) noticed very slight wear on all of the 5th...

Good morning, Having a great time at the Williston Rally. This summer my wife and I are planning a trip to Michigan and then crossing into Canada for 3 to 4 weeks. We have spoken to a few people from Ontario about what is allowed and not allowed (especially "not allowed") when crossing the...

Hello, My wife and I are planning a trip this summer that will be taking us up through Michigan for a few weeks and then up into Canada (the Montreal and then Quebec area). My question is, we have a "Dish Tailgator" and I was wondering if we will encounter any reception problems while we are in...

We are thinking about going to New Orleans (have never been) after the Alabama rally in April. All the RV reviews for the campgrounds in the area sound less than appealing. They are either in industrial areas or the projects and none sound safe. We would prefer not to drive the dually around...
