    Heartland Landmark Fire exits

    The brand of smoke, heat, and CO2 detectors I have are SUREFIRE. They're part of a package we bought.

    Heartland Landmark Fire exits

    I suspect that the rapid rate at which trailers (RVs) and mobile homes burn, there would be no time to deploy a fire escape ladder. One or two breaths of superheated air will kill anyone, if the toxic smoke hasn't killed us first. And I say that after retiring after 25 years on a municipal fire...

    It is not over the dresser, the full window is from floor to ceiling. It's a Key Largo model.

    Heartland Landmark Fire exits

    There are two fire exit windows, one in the bedroom, and one behind the couch in the living room. Instructions state to remove the screen and push the slide lock out of the frame. This allows the smaller lower part of the window to swing out freely. QUESTION: Are you then able to push the entire...

    Fuel Additives

    I have recently using STANADYNE in my '09 Chev. DuMax, only because my son gave me 5 gallons of it. Seems like it has improved my mileage between 1/2 and 1 mpg based on only two months of use. They have an informative website.

    Recliner chairs;

    I second the motion. So uncomfortable as they keep falling forward. Thinking of replacing them with $49 Zero Gravity loungers from Cabela's. Look bad, feel good.

    DISH Traveller, hooking up to Landmark

    Have a brand new 2014 Landmark KL from RVs For Less, and ordered the DISH NETWORK portable Satellite Traveler and receiver. How to connect it to the SAMSUNG TV via the receiver? I know that the coax cable from the portable antenna connects in the compartment to either the main or bedroom TV...

    Information, good information, and mis-information.

    The tire forum is littered with some of each. Think us RVers are the only ones with tire problems? Just look on the sides of highways and count the "alligators" lying dead there from the big rigs. Watch your tires for correct pressure, overloading, excessive speed, age, and road hazard damage...

    Tpms?

    My new Landmark Key Largo (2014) came with a VALOR TPMS-203-RVT monitor. The transmitters are installed inside the tires by the OEM. It has a LOW press. warning, HIGH, LEAKAGE, and TEMPERATURE warnings. I have hooked the system up, and the pressure readings are correct in my yard. Have not taken...

    It's home. No dents.

    After spending two days @ RVs For Less in our new Key Largo getting to "know it all", it's now home. And....(insert drum roll), everything still works. Best ever experience buying from our new friends at this dealership.

    Missippi coast in December

    Thinking of a month on the Gulf Coast in December, between Biloxi and Gulfport. Good Sam has listed some nice campgrounds, and Passport America has two not fit for dogs. Anyone ever spend time in December there? Weather? Which campgrounds? Spent a year there in 1962 (Keesler AFB) but don't...

    Setting up TV's on Cable or Antenna or Sat.

    I have found that the best way to eliminate confusion when trying to get the TV's and remotes to work is to borrow or rent a child between the ages of 7 and 14 and bring him/her with you. If you own one, they'll do it for you, but won't show you how.

    Honda EU2000i question.

    I've been using the 2000 Companion w/ 30A plug and the 2000i also connected with Honda's parallel cord for 3 years. Runs everything fine. (1 A/C at a time). You get 3500 watts continuous, 4000 w temporary. They only weigh 49 lbs. each compared to lugging around a Honda 3000 at 130 lbs. I also...

    Disconnecting batteries while plugged in.

    Having boondocked since 1969, we have rarely been plugged in at regular camgrounds and have operated on batteries. (charged every few days with generators). Now that we are buying a LM Key Largo we shall begin doing some regular camping with hookups. When on 120 VAC is it OK to disconnect...

    norcold on 120VAC

    Now that my fridge is working again on propane after the "mud dauber affair", it won't work on AC.I have 124 Volts to the plug for it, but the trouble code reads "no AC". Connections from the plug-in wire to the red & black frige supply appear good as far as I can trace them. Any ideas?

    Trailer Towing – ST Tires vs. LT Tires

    Excellent article. Should end questions on the "hot button" issue, but it won't. RV owners are much more informed than any genuine tire expert, right?What I do know is that my 13,500 lb. 5th wheel trailer is NOT my 4500 pound Light Truck.Amen.

    Have a BC 3650 RL, 2013, with a TOSHIBA flatscreen in the living area. Anyone know how to remove it from its mount? I can slide it to the right, but cannot get it off. I want to check cables as it won't work on "cable", just antenna. It also will not play DVD's in color. Black & white only. Miss...

    LT tires or ST tires???

    If you research recommended tires for trailers you will find that LT tires should never be used on trailers. The ST (Special Trailer) tires have a much heavier sidewall than a LT (Light Truck) tire. LT's can, with their light sidewall, come right off the rims in turns, and cause uncontrollable...

    RESOLVED: Mud Daubers created Norcold fire hazard

    I have a double door NORCOLD refrigerator in my 2013 3650 RL Big Country. When new last October it would not stay lit on propane, but worked on 120V. Had it repaired at the dealer, and they said it was only an "adjustment". It worked the next time out. Just got back from a month long trip to New...

    ATF: Big Country - Leaks, sink drains

    Factory promptly replied (thank you) and sent a new kit to replace the original parts. After cleaning the mess if silicone up from the previous repair attempt I installed the new parts. No leaks yet, but will have to keep an eye on it during a road trip.

    RV Insurance

    Looking to obtain unbiased information on insuring my Big Country 5th wheel. When I purchased it last October I called my auto insurance company (Liberty Mutual) and added it to my auto policy which increased my premium by about $140/yr. The company informed me that I was insured for up to the...

    Cabinet Door Hinges Pull Out?

    My one week old BC 3650 RL had two pull out on the first opening. Superglued the insert back in with original screws. Will lay in a good glue supply as the others are likely to follow suit.

    Icemaker water shutoff - 3690SL

    Well, have had my BC 3650 for a week now, and darned if I can find the shutoff valve for the ice maker. I've looked at every blue water line behind the UDC for an hour. I've felt along the length of each blue line as far as I can reach in every direction. I'e looked and felt along every...

    SOLVED: Removing Genesis 2 Sound system

    My brand new Genesis 2 sound system installed in my 2013 BC 3650RL will not load CD's or DVR discs. The "load" indicator comes on, then 3 sec. later it ejects the disc. My dealer needs the unit to order a replacement, but I cannot get it out of the "built-in" location. I've removed the six...
