Update: still waiting to hear back from Heartland. Meanwhile, I talked with Jonna and Rod at Affinity RV Group - both super nice folks. Based on the photos, Rod thinks it's frame flex that they can probably fix just by dropping the FRP under the overhang...but of course they won't know for sure...

I just talked to Dianne Williams at Heartland Customer Service. I'm sending her the photos and she's going to have their service department look at them to see what they think. Should hear back from her tomorrow.

Dave, do you happen to know the name of that repair shop? We will be up in northern Indiana in just a couple of weeks. I'd like to contact them to see if I can get an appointment. Thanks!

What is the “dreaded frame flex”? It doesn’t sound good. [emoji53] If that’s what it is, is it repairable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It seems that the floor of the upper deck of our 2013 Landmark San Antonio is slowly falling out of the trailer. Viewed from the outside, the fiberglass covering the underside of the overhang is gradually being pushed away from the sidewalls. On the curb (door) side, it has pushed the edge trim...

The electrically-operated bedroom slide on our 2013 Landmark does not have a wiper seal on the bottom. You can see right into the gap between the slide and the body, up to the interior seal. The other three slides (all hydraulic) all have bottom wiper seals. Shouldn’t there be one on the...

Circling back on this. I replaced the hydac valve for the kitchen slide, and that stopped the leak of hydraulic fluid in the generator compartment. I don't know if it was just one or more bad o-rings on the valve that caused the leak--that seems to be the most likely explanation since I can't...

Thanks Dan. That's where I'm confused. On my system, the control valve for the landing gear is on the driver's side landing gear itself--it's not even on the manifold with the slide-out valves. (The two valves for the left and right mid/rear jacks ARE on the manifold though.) So I'm wondering if...

A few days ago, the front landing gear on our 2013 Landmark began to sink. They dropped 7 inches from level overnight. The rear and middle jacks extended as the front dropped, so all six of the Lippert Level-Up pads were on the ground. I found a small puddle of hydraulic fluid in the front...

To close the loop on this thread: back in August when the problem first occurred, it mysteriously went away, and the blower was operating normally. We didn't use the furnace much after that though, until the weather turned colder. It then happened again in November. This time, after slowing...

Thanks for the shout-out! I'm glad the instructions were helpful. David

I took the outside cover off the furnace. It's an SF-42Q. No blockages seen in the exterior intake or exhaust (which are covered by mud dauber screens anyway). The return air grilles are clear. I did some Googling and couldn't find anyone describing similar symptoms (blower motor runs for a...

Thanks Dan. The interior returns are clear, and nothing blocking the ducts at least that I can see. I'll check the exterior ports. Thanks Bill. Totally agree. We do use our electric fireplace/space heater whenever we're connected to shore power, but sometimes it's not quite enough when it's...

The furnace blower on our 2013 Landmark (built in 2012) runs for 10-15 minutes (during which the furnace produces heat), but I can hear it gradually slowing down, and the volume of warm air from the vents decreases. Eventually the blower stops completely, even though the temperature at the...

Good thing to check. In my case though, at least three of the six jacks are popping (the two front ones and one of the middle ones), so I'm guessing it's probably something systemic. - - - Updated - - - Very interesting. I'd seen in some other threads that people reported the problem went away...

A few years ago I solved the “popping” sound problem with my Lippert Level-Up system by adding CAT Hydraulic Oil Additive anti-stiction fluid. It took 2 quarts, but the problem was almost eliminated. About six months ago, the popping noise returned. Lippert recommends changing the hydraulic...

OK, thanks everyone. I'm going to get some of the OnaMax 30w (might as well go with the manufacturer's recommended oil to rule out other issues with the oil itself) and a new filter and change to that. We'll see what happens. If the oil consumption still doesn't decrease, I might then try some...

I assume I'd need to drain the synthetic and change the filter if I was going to change to straight 30w, right? It's not a good idea to mix oils? (Of course I just changed the oil and filter 25 hours ago.)

That's what I'm afraid of. I can't figure anywhere else it could be going. The genset has 298 hours on it. 170 of those are in the last few months, while we've been boondocking on a friend's property. The Cummins manual calls for an oil change every 150 hours or 12 months, which I've done...

I have a Cummins Onan RV QG 5500 Marquis Gold propane generator (model HGJAB) installed in our 2013 Landmark. The generator is consuming about one quart of oil for every 40 hours of operation. Most of the time it's running, it's under about an 80% load (~35-37 amps), although the actual load %...

Hi Richard. I just realized that I never followed up on this repair like I said I would. So here it is. I ordered five feet of the RecPro RV Slide Out Replacement Seal from Amazon, along with some 3M Primer 94. I'd used the primer previously when I mounted some LED strip lights--it helps ensure...

Yep, I had the same thought. That 3M promoter came with the LED light strip from Boogey Lights that I mounted under my awning last year, and it works great. I don't think that adhesive will ever come off. I bought some more at the same time I ordered the wiper seal. One interesting thing I...

I just talked with a VERY helpful service advisor at Heartland. He said the best way to replace the seal is to cut off the old seal flush with the mounting plate, and then attach a new wiper seal to the face of the frame, covering it with molding with a notch cut out for the slide retraction...

Dan, what you circled in that photo is actually an Asian beetle. :o) But you're not too far off. I do think there's an adhesive layer (maybe) and screws or rivets holding the wiper in place. The problem is that the screw/rivet heads are behind the wiper and face the wall of the slide-out, so...

We have a 2013 Landmark San Antonio. One of the side wiper seals on our bedroom slide has torn away at the top of the seal. (The photo posted rotated 90 degrees, so "top" is to the left.) It looks like the bracket holding the seal is riveted to the slide out opening in the body. If so, that...

LBR, you hit the nail on the head. The manual reset breaker (#6) had been tripped, and I reset it. That's probably why someone had moved the wires around. Here's what all the original 6 AWG wires were (this is my original photo, just annotated): The extra 6 AWG wire turned out to be the...

Thanks Richard. I had looked at that photo, but I seem to have several more accessories on my bus bar than that photo shows. I've asked Heartland Customer Service to try to dig up the engineering drawing for the 2013 Landmarks and send it to me. Once I get it figured out, either with their help...

Thanks, Dan. I too am thinking that someone has done some modifications to it. We are the second owner, so it could be from before we bought the rig. Or, it's possible that the shop that told me they replaced a breaker three years ago actually just jumpered two others together. Our generator...

As I was starting to troubleshoot an intermittent Level-Up/slide-out problem, suspecting a weak breaker, I noticed what looks like some odd wiring on the bank of mini circuit breakers. This is in a 2013 Landmark San Antonio. Can anyone tell me what accessories each of these breakers powers? I...

When we bought our 2013 Landmark (used), it had a few rock pits in the lower part of the front, on either side of the generator door. After 6,500 miles of towing in Alaska this summer, it has more. A LOT more. And some of them are pretty deep, so I think I need to do something to fill in the...

Ok, thanks. That's what I was guessing. Is replacing the doorside regulator something I can do myself? It doesn't look too complicated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I still have something wrong in my propane system. I had both tanks open, no red flags on the changeover regulator, and the changeover lever set to feed from the right tank. During the night, I awoke and smelled propane. I went outside and could feel and hear propane coming out of the vent...

Dan, you're a life saver as usual. That did it. I had actually seen that advice and tried it previously, but I guess I didn't open the valve slowly enough. This time I just barely cracked it and left it that way until the red flag cleared. Then I did the same on the other side. All is working...

We have an ACR-2 automatic changeover propane regulator. After filling both tanks (both were disconnected at the same time), the following happened: the regulator shows the red "empty" flag for both tags, regardless of the position of the selector lever we can smell propane outside the rig...

SOLVED! Re: Need help with fuse panel mystery Well, after several attempts at troubleshooting this issue, I finally figured it out. It was indeed a grounding problem, but not where we thought. I could see but not get to the chassis ground connection without major disassembly of the battery...

Our 2013 Landmark has the metal supports for the tanks. But when I had the underbelly off recently, I discovered that the supports for one of our gray water tanks had been installed too far apart. As a result, the tank had dropped through, and was supported only on one side by the frame. One of...

Success! I froze the stud for a couple hours, and sprayed the inside of the hole with a little WD-40 (being careful not to get it on the rotor or calipers). I used a large nut as a spacer, and one of the old lug nuts to pull the stud through. I was glad I used an old lug nut, because the...
