    The evil hidden hazard's of Ice maker/Water Dispenser inour RV's

    This is not a case of insufficient or poor winterizing. No water has been on the fridge in 4 years. It is a case of 4 years of condensation leaking and dripping from the hole in the back of the freezer compartment into the freezer section of the fridge for the ice dispenser water line.

    The evil hidden hazard's of Ice maker/Water Dispenser inour RV's

    We will never have another RV with a residential refrigerator with a water dispenser/ ice maker option. We are not full timer's and being from the midwest we were never confident that these thing's could be winterized effectively and were reliable, therefore we shutoff the water line under the...

    2018 Landmark Phoenix issues

    So disappointed but not surprised to hear that your pantry shelving collapsed. Every kitchen drawer bottom and pantry shelf collapsed in our Landmark with in the first 2 month's of ownership. They were not designed to carry anything heavy than paper plates, plastic cutlery and empty plastic...

    Ladder is lose

    My ladder came loose almost the moment we drove off the dealers lot. I replaced all the ladder mounting brackets with the ones in the link https://factoryrvsurplus.com/product/ld-4600-die-cast-foot-pad/ This bracket is larger and stronger and hold's much tighter with much less flexing which is...

    My disc brakes paid for themselves today

    Coming into Ashville on I26 I had 2 bone head car drives slam on their brakes to allow a merge challenged moron to join the traffic flow. The cars moving down the I26 at 60 mile per hour slowed suddenly to almost a total stop because the merging driver got panicked and also came to a stop at the...

    Dog won't rest while moving

    We have a standard poodle that does the same thing (never lays down even after 4 or 5 hours). She is incredibly motion oriented. She follows all movement be it a squirrel, bird, cow, armadillo or car and trucks on the highway. The closer the moving object is to her the more she lunges and tries...

    Anderson valve rebuild kit.

    Kudos to Ron at Anderson. He mailed me a valve cartridge by USPS and arrived 3 days later to the campground we are staying at no charge to us at all. Replaced it in about 15min's reading the instructions provided with the kit. Dan just FYI Ron recommended I not view the online video for...

    Woke up to this....

    Wonderful day of global warming in the mid-west. Mid-70's and not a cloud in the ski. Actually got a little bit of a sun tan without my shirt on while sanding and painting about 80 board ft of custom milled baseboard on my deck this afternoon:cool:

    Portable air compressor for LM365

    I run my H-rated tires at 105PSI and carry the Dewalt D55140 http://www.dewalt.com/tools/compressors-hand-carry---electric-d55140.aspx on a small drawer slide tray above the battery box that I built. The compressor works very well and is quite, small and light weight.

    Bedroom Slide Separation (Landmark)

    Re: ATF: Landmark - Bedroom Slide Separation X2 This happened on our unit on the drive home from the dealer. 3 screw heads had popped off due to over torquing. Dealer authorized me to simply drill new pilot holes and install new stainless screws and recaulk. First of WAY TOO MANY significant...

    wide body

    This was also our exact feeling as well when comparing the DRV to the HL Landmark. our old unit was 101" and we don't find our Landmark any narrower at all as a result of deeper slideouts.

    Grrr! Watch out for that violent heave/bump on US-71S

    Travelling southbound on US71 between Cincy and Louisville yesterday we hit a bump/heave in the right hand lane at about 62mph. It was so violent it lifted us from out seats for a moment. Once stopped for the night at the campground while setting the trailer up I heard my wife make that dreaded...

    Is a Landmark Newport that much better than a Bighorn 3875FB

    Wow I wish the $600 coupon was available last year at this time when we took delivery of our LandMark Savannah and then immediately took it to Mor/Ryde for the IS/Dexter disc brake upgrade. I would not be without it on a unit this size and value.

    Hydraulic System functionality question when in -15 below F weather

    I need to try and get my rig ready to go south in a week and the temps around here are in the 0 to -15 F range at the moment. My 6Volt deep cell batteries are nice and toasty warm in the S&B house. The problem is that the hydraulics do not want to move on AC power only. They momentarily pump and...

    Who is Responsible for Relacing My Tires?

    OP you need to consider the OEM tires as delivery tires only. You have no idea whether they were towed above the ST speed limit of 65MPH, you have no idea whether they were towed low on air pressure nor do you have any idea how many curbs or potholes they dropping into or towed over. Invest in a...

    Replaced 3" Black Tank Gate Valve

    Hey Jim: I have had a little leaked by from the black tank valve since taking delivery of my 14 Landmark. I did not want the belly tore into so I simply added an additional knife valve in the waste pipe just below the corrugated belly material before the grey tank line joins at the elbow. Simply...

    Rusty Mor Ryde IS :(

    Opposite condition with our unit. The 5vers exposed I-beam frame at the front of our unit is rusting and looking crappy while the IS steel members looks nice and black still. Going to wire brush and paint the exposed frame members before winter

    Air bags over air ride hitches

    I agree, in fact I see no reason for the airbags unless you have sufficient pin weight to put you down on the overloads even momentarily, assuming you have good shock absorbers. To have just enough pin weight to compress the rear springs far enough to only contact the overloads on large bounces...

    Air bags over air ride hitches

    Really?? I quite strongly disagree with the OP's premise. Riding on my F350 steel overload springs was much stiffer than riding on the 40lbs of air in my airbags. Getting the trailer and truck up off the overload springs reduced the bounce and rough ride remarkably.

    LED bulbs under awning going out

    Yes and Yes. The channel appears to be in integral part of the awning material and I se no way the channel can be changed for a straight on with replacing the entire awning material. Is that what you found to be the case?

    Four out of six landing gear not welded frame bent - Help!

    Four out of six landing gear not welded frame bent - Help!

    I think a series of pictures would say a thousand words and provide a basis on which to give an opinion. Not trying to minimize your issue but my dealer told me he has had customers argue that the angle the 6-point hydraulic land legs are mounted at is a defect and the customer has not been able...

    LED bulbs under awning going out

    Has anyone's awning LED strip lighting gone cockeyed? the channel holding the strip has warped into a crooked wavy line on our front awning. The strip on our slideout awning is staying straight but the other one has got very crooked and wavy.

    Landmark chugging while towing

    Hey Jim your idea about the purpose of the extreme angle shocks to dampen oscillations in the equalization system between the springs makes alot of sense. My old Newmar had no spring equalization system and much larger shocks mounted at an angle that would have provided substantial vertically...

    Question on 17.5" wheel choice

    we sold our old E-rated tires and wheel when we invested in our 17.5 inch wheels and tires on our previous trailer to a thrilled local contractor for his construction business truck that way they weren't taking up room in my tiny storage shed. When we traded this year we wrote in the contract...

    Which air Bag System

    Second, third, fourth??? vote for the Firestone Ride-Rite bags. I installed the no drill kit in about 3 hours on my 2010 Ford F350 dually absolutely no interference problems at all. Transformed our TV and trailer ride as the trailer was hard on the overloads springs.

    Repair Issues

    Re: Repar Issues Was the kitchen drain draining properly at the dealer during your PDI when you picked up the trailer? If so I suspect you will need to get a plumber with a camera snake to snake it looking for a visual plug in the lines. I think you need to find another repair shop. Possible a...

Our old Newmar (with sprung axles and shocks) and TV towed smooth as silk with a 16k Hijacker hitch and no air bags on the suspension. Our initial trip home from the dealer...

    Ride Quality- Airbags

    Installed the Firestone Ride-rite's on my 2010 F350 DRW. The truck ride was rough and the rear would wallow over imperfections and train tracks when we first took delivery of the 2014 HL Savannah before we installed the airbags. Installing the airbag and adding 40lbs of air transformed the...

    Towmax Garbage ! Another one bites the dust !!

    Toured the factory about a month ago and all units on the Big Horn, Landmark line at that moment had Sailun's as stock tires which I think is a step up over the junk previously installed. However since the vast majority of RV's are simply towed to a seasonal campground and never moved but once...

    Before I invested in my 17.5 inch tires and wheels from Scott I ran Michelin XPS Ribs at 90-93% of rated capacity for several years all across the eastern part of the continent. Keep in mind that the 3040 lb limited is at 75mph and the higher the speed rating the lower the capacity rating. Given...
