I was impressed at the very beginning of the Landmark coach and purchased a 2006 Landmark Shenandoah in 2005. I enjoyed and worked hard to keep the coach in good condition and shared many times on the forum about maintaining and modifying this "classic" coach. Jim and I worked together for the...

Is anyone still using a Brakesmart controller? I like the concept but I can't find any online support for the unit any longer. I have to put the gain on #8 to feel much braking effect from it. Also, I get a message "trailer brakes detected" as I am towing the trailer. I press "E" and the message...

My Landmark Shenandoah storage area floor was damaged by mold and fungus and required replacement. I reported the damage in an earlier post. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/14326-Fungus-growing-under-coach?highlight=fungus My last post ended with the desire to find a strand board...

Since there are many posts of owners of Heartland products that experience water in the belly areas, is there a type of one-way drain that could be installed in the plastic or Coroplast bottom in areas that are likely to collect water?

I noticed an odor in the storage compartment for a couple of years that seemed to come from the black water tank but I couldn't see any sign of a leak. Once, while winterizing, I pushed some compressed air through the flushing port to clear the hose of water and I smelled the foul odor again in...

Is there a maximum safe pin weight that my 2006 Shenandoah can support before the frame will likely sustain damage? The axles are rated at 7,000lb each but how is the hitch pin rated?

I've noticed this year that my deadbolt lock won't slide into the hole when the coach is hitched. It locks normally when unhitched and the landing gear is down. If this is due to the frame flexing, is it a common occurrence or should I be looking for a problem?

I have read with interest the threads and solutions for sagging fresh water tanks but not much has been posted about sagging grey and black water tanks. These tanks are narrower (25" vs. 37") than the fresh water tank but they still have some sagging. The hope is that the bottoms will rise back...

I was watching a neighbor in the park today work on his older Winnebago motorhome. He finally revealed that he was trying to get into the motorhome and he couldn't get the door opened. He was able to work the dead bolt, which was a household style lock & key, but the handle latch was locked and...

Last year I noticed a mushroom-like fungus growing under the right outboard storage floor. It was located at the floor port that serves as a utility opening for the connections inside the storage compartment. I scraped off the fungus and soaked the area with bleach and a fungicide and it seemed...

When I extend the hydraulic front landing gear one leg comes down to the ground and then the other and then they jack up the front of the trailer equally regardless if the terrain is level or not. This seems to be the ideal function of the system. My system seems to do the first part but one...

I am planning to tow my Landmark from Ohio to western Tennessee and then to Florida in mid January and then return from Florida to Ohio in early March. I'm interested in any tips you may have to safely travel in the winter when snow and/or icy roads may be a problem. Do you automatically stop...

I wanted to post this warning because it has the potential to be a problem for any trailer with brake wires routed through the axle tubes. My Landmark had the brake wires routed through the axle tubes from the power source on the left side to the brakes on the right. The wires were similar to...

I have a Brake Smart controller that I really like. The controller displayed the "short detected" message a couple of times in the fall but didn't repeat it like the manual stated if the condition was serious. The brakes worked fine but I am concerned about the message. Does this message...

I was inspired by the Bighorn project by Sailorand to change the UDC on my Landmark. I had three goals: 1, Place the electrical components above the water connections; 2, Mount a water filter in the dock compartment; and 3, add a second black water tank flushing system to the dock. I...

I added grease to the Ultralube hubs last year (2006) before the rally to make sure they were ready for a long trip. Since I had only pulled the trailer 500 miles or so, I didn't think it was necessary to do a complete inspection. We traveled about 6,000 miles since then. Last week I removed...

After I had completely drained all the holding tanks and stored all the hoses following the 2007 Goshen Rally, my DW informed me that there was still water in the toilet and it wouldn't drain out. Having two other smaller TT's before, I was under the impression that the tank was under the...

There are a number of inquiries on the forum regarding jacking correctly and servicing bearings and brakes. I am happy to inform members that Lippert technicians will be leading an outdoor session during the rally, using a display unit, to demonstrate how to properly jack a unit, remove a...

We would like to sell the ultra leather recliner chair that came in our Landmark. It's the light colored chair and is in excellent condition. Does anyone know what a fair price would be for the chair? We will bring it to the rally if anyone is interested.

Has anyone experimented with how the position of the hitch affects the balance of weight on the truck? When my truck was weighed at the rally last year, the front axle weight rose 125 lbs when the trailer was hitched and the rear axle rose 3850 lbs. How far forward would I have to move the hitch...

My wife and I purchased a replacement leather chair for the swivel rocker in our Shenandoah. We wanted a chair that fits on the slide floor and reclines without hitting the wall. Also, we wanted a chair that was narrower than the original Flexsteel to give additional room for the dining chairs...

When I adjust the auto temperature setting on the Fantastic vent controller I think I have it just where I want it and then the indicator light jumps up to the highest temperature. Is this a normal function for the controller? If not, how does one adjust the controller on the auto setting for...

Scott, According to the BigHorn construction description on your website, the Flexguard is supposed to have steel bands buried in the plastic. I can't find any steel in my flexguards and both have broken off at the rigid ends. Are you sure that this product was/is manufactured as described...

One tank fills quicker than the other when we are parked in a site without sewer. Are the two tanks connected in some manner to permit the overflow from one to go into the other if one fills up first.

If you are using a Tekonsha Prodigy controller, what is your average setting for the Landmark RV? Which boost level do you use? When I first pulled my Landmark a brake light wire was connected in error to the plug. //heartlandowners.org/images/smilies/confused.gif Although full power was going...

When I saw the large storage compartment of the Landmark it immediately appeared to be large enough to hold our tandem bicycle. Unfortunately, it took up so much room that little more could be added and the bike would have been buried inside and hard to get in and out. I had a hitch receiver...

I have been following the threads on sewer hose storage and was determined to find a location that is not exposed to bottoming out or inside the storage compartment where it may cause undesirable odor and drainage. I first considered attaching a tube to the cross frame behind the storage...

This is the 2006 Landmark Shenandoah my wife and I purchased on the day of delivery in September, 2005.

My Prodigy installation instructions suggest having a 20 or 30Amp self-setting circuit breaker installed in the power line going to the controller. Since my 2005 2500HD 6.6L diesel crew-cab has a harness for the controller, I'm not sure where to place a circuit breaker. I know that the...

I have a 2005 Silverado 2500HD with the powered extendable mirrors that appear to be similar to Power Vision mirrors. The mirrors are fine for normal traffic viewing but the field of view is too small to include both the traffic and the position of the trailer while turning (especially to the...

The plastic wire support strap under the dinette slideout on my Shenandoah broke off at the frame end. The outside end of the belt is looped and is hinged on a pin but the frame end is fastened solid to a metal brace. The frame end flexes at too extreme an angle for the plastic to tolerate a...

When I observe the exterior of my Landmark in the morning it is coated with dew or condensation. The outline of the aluminum studs inside the walls is very easy to see. Is there a possibility that condensation is also forming in the aluminum framing? Is there any chance that the moisture will...
