First, I admit to being a solar idiot. Here is my problem... It appears that the power usage in my Landmark comes first from the solar system, before pulling from shore power. I am in PA and it's cold here, so I am running two electric heaters as well and keeping the propane thermostat set at...

As some of you may know, Don passed away this summer and I am now trying full-timing on my own. I'm determined not to make any decisions regarding this lifestyle for at least a year. However, I'm almost like a newbie since Don did the maintenance and it seemed the time was never right for him...

Stuck in Las Cruces It’s only Wednesday and already it’s been a long week! We left Van Horn, TX on Thursday and towed to Camping World in Anthony, TX for a Friday appointment to have the door side wheel bearings checked as well as the springs on the off door side (trailer was riding 3 3/4" low...

I have a Classic Landmark Mt. Rushmore and all the electrical outlets on the front wall of the coach are dead, this includes the one in the front side of the bedroom slide, the one in the closet, one above the dresser on front wall and the one in the bedroom cubby hole where the tv plugs in. I...

A couple of weeks ago the fireplace in our Landmark quit heating. I removed the fireplace and discovered that the fan was not working and the electric element then overheated and shut down so I turned the fan blade by hand and found the blade tried to turn but had too much resistance to keep...

We've been fighting with this CTR500 for three days now. We can see it, but can't stay connected to it. It's a constant up and down situation. Also it didn't come with the advertised tip sheet or software on CD. Could the problem have something to do with the security settings, the fact...

Well we finally made it, here we are in Whitefish Montana. We purchased our Landmark in July of 07 in preparation to go full time in April of 08. We left our home April 5th and went directly to Elkhart IN. where we had our long list of repairs to be fixed under warranty. Recreational Specialty...

Well as Sheri and myself were preparing to leave Recreational Specialty this morning there it was in the parking lot, The Love Shack. Well nothing would do but for me to go meet Vance and of course Princess Kathleen, I have read so many of her post here on the board and here we are just...

Guess I must have stepped on somebodies toes with my post this morning as the post was pulled. If that is the case to whom ever I stepped on My sincere apology. Don

Well folks, our first work camping experience will be at the Whitefish KOA on US 93 between Whitefish and Kalispell Montana. We are very excited about it as it is a beautiful area about 25 miles from Glacier National Park. If anyone is in the area this summer drop by and say hello. We are...

Well my other half and I got tired of getting hot before the A/C would come on and would be cold before it would go off so We went to Wal-Mart and purchased a Hunter thermostat which I installed last weekend. I was not completely satisfied at first with it set on a two degree variation but...

I have noticed that the hinge pin on the top hinge of the shower door is not tight and it wobbles around when I open or close the shower door. The hinge mounts are tight just the pin that drops down through the mount is loose and I can't see any way to tighten it. can anyone tell me if this is...

They drove up to Montgomery today, from Southern AL, to take a look at the Augusta. We met them out at Marlin Ingram's for a chat and to eyeball the Augusta ourselves. We all spent some time in the Augusta and looked in a few Bighorns, but it's still too humid here in AL to spend much time in...

Since we will be full-timers by next spring, and must sell off everything, we didn't really relish the idea of selling our relatively new Toshiba 27" LCD TV at a yard sale price. This weekend we took out the OEM Toshiba TV in the bedroom and replaced it with our Toshiba. We used 1/4" plywood...

I recently purchased a 2008 Landmark Mt. Rushmore. While checking out the under side of the trailer I discovered there are no shocks on it. Shocks are listed as standard equipment on the Landmark. Don Michael

We know this should probably wear off with time, but is there a way to speed up the process? Don thought he remembered a post about flushing the lines with vinegar to kill that dreaded taste, but we've searched and came up with nothing. Does anyone have any ideas or do we just keep dumping the...

The refrigerator in our new Landmark will not get cold enough. The slide on the cooling fins is all the way to the top and if I move it down it seems to get warmer. Any suggestions? Don

Landmark - #4333 was one parked (stored) two spaces over from us, but when we were leaving from our lunch restaurant today we saw it turning onto the Parkway. It was being towed by a black Chevy dually. Sorry we missed them. Bighorn - Saw it from the road today in another campground. Big...

We pulled in about lunch time on Monday and moved into our new Mt Rushmore. After our PDI and several minor repairs, we finally got the papers signed about lunch time today. Tomorrow AM we'll leave RV's For Less, stop to get our new Goodyear tires mounted, then head on to Pigeon Forge for...

Dri Wash'N Guard I ordered a bottle of Dri Wash'N Guard today and think I may have ordered the wrong product. I meant to order the Classic formula but by mistake ordered the Ultra Ion formula. Do any of you that use this product know if it makes any difference and if so which one should I use...

Since technology in these fields advances so quickly, and since we are getting close to needing to make a final decision, we wanted to resurrect these topics. (We have read the older posts.) As we will be full-timers, and not knowing where we might be from one season to the next, we are...

I was looking at photos of our (well soon to be) new MR and noticed that there were no visible electrical outlets in the kitchen counter area. I assume that they are overhead in the cabinet bottoms. Am I correct or making myself the brunt of the a-s-s-u-m-e- joke? Sheri

I would like to make a table cloth and some pillows for our much anticipated Mt. Rushmore. Could one of you kind people tell me the measurements of the table top w/leaf extended? I did look on Heartlands web site, but couldn't find the table dimensions. Thanks in advance! Sheri

We need to go ahead and order the bedding for our new Mt. Rushmore as we plan to take a week long shakedown run when we pick it up. We've read through archives and realize that there are many options from sheets that will fit the mattress to adding multiple toppers and using standard king...

It's a good looking site! A little slow to load, but glad to see the updated photos of the units. Keep up the good work!

...says it all! We're no longer the "Serious Shoppers". We hope to be picking our new Landmark up from Karen & Butch in about six weeks. Kudos to RV's 4 Less and Coley Brady for making it all come together!

We would like to have installed in our new Landmark, after the purchase, a solar system, and were wondering if any of you have had a good experience with a particular system or have any advice on an installer. We can not find anyone in our area so will have to travel. Have considered a generator...

We received an e-mail today from Karen @ RVs for Less. It had a factory list of the 2008 Big Horn changes. If you're interested I've posted a copy on our website. Here's a link. http://www.goldenwingers.com/2008_big_horn.htm

We thought we had made our decision to order a Grand Canyon later in the summer, but are now thinking we might like the Mt. Rushmore better. The GC has plenty of storage space in the kitchen, but once we were actually in one we felt a bit crowded or claustrophobic in the kitchen. We are now...

My wife Sheri was doing some research tonight for a way to have internet while camping and found something new that sounds like it might be what we are looking for. Check out this link http://www.goautonet.com/wp/ Don

We understand how floor planning works and that dealers want to sell what they have in stock. However, what we see advertised is never exactly what we want. If we order exactly what we want what kind of deal can we expect. After all, the dealer will not even have the floor planning to worry...
