Re: 2021 Goshen Rally - Discussion Thread Barb and Frank Buscemi are planning to attend!

We are full-timers currently in northern Illinois surrounded by cornfields and lots of mice. When the temperature started dropping we discovered a mouse in our RV. It chewed its way into our bedroom through the bed slide where an electrical wire comes out of the wall. While my wife was...

We use Corelle dishes and bowls and just stack them without any problem. 95% of our glasses are plastic so no problem there. We have 2 glass coffee cups that fit nicely into a small plastic storage bin and we use a piece of rubber shelf liner to separate and protect them from breaking or...

Thanks for the tip!

John, Last night we pulled out the basement wall and placed traps with peanut butter - hope that does the trick. Although we have glue traps in every a/c duct in the ceiling - there is no evidence of mice in the ducts. But we still hear them in the ceiling, and now we wonder if there is open...

Rick, We would like to use those types of traps - but the mice are in the ceiling and we do not have enough vertical clearance for those traps. We measured just a little over 1-1\2” of space in the vent openings. We still haven’t caught any - they are outsmarting us. Frank

Wow - just wow! What a great way to get rid of mice! We might consider doing that here. The mice in our rig are in the ceiling and we placed glue traps in just about every a/c vent. We use Fresh Cab inside our drawers, cabinets and closets and this has kept them out of the living part of the...

Thanks Jerry - will try anything at this point!

Dan, We pulled off the vent covers and saw the styrofoam and we placed many traps in the ceiling. Couldn’t use conventional spring loaded traps because there is not enough vertical clearance. So we put in glue traps and hope that works. We will check them frequently because we know what...

Dan, Can you tell me what is above the ceiling? I envision the a/c vents are attached to ducts - so how would that work. Would the mice have to chew through the duct to get to the mouse trap? Frank

We have mice in our rig. They chewed through the wall near the electric cord in our bedroom slide and scurried across the bed into the opposite wall. We hear them in our ceiling as well. We read a lot of posts here about what to do to keep mice out - including sealing holes and using Mouse...

We replaced our sofa and theater seats because the fake leather peeled off. We replaced them with furniture from Lambright, an Amish furniture shop in Indiana, and we are very happy. Lambright furniture is well made, very comfortable, and will last for years. Would also consider Lazy Boy...

We are spending the summer in northern Illinois and we were away from the RV when the storm came through (we are full time). Actually, we were on the Interstate driving straight into the storm - we saw it coming from miles away. The sky was black, the winds were high and the rain was pelting...

We had our tires replaced at a Goodyear commercial shop - they sell and service tires for trucks and other large vehicles. We took our Landmark there and backed right into one of their service bays. It was quick and efficient. Most importantly - there was enough room to maneuver the rig...

We replaced the original Goodyear G114’s on our 2016 Landmark when they were four years old due to a flat spot on one of the tires. We replaced them with the same type of tires and hope to get more mileage out of them than the first set. Frank

Thanks Jerrod and Rick Frank

We were in an accident today and the driver of the other vehicle hit us directly in the rear tire of our Ram dually. The tire and wheel are damaged and need to be replaced. We will have the axel inspected too. My question is ... All four rear tires are just under two years old. In...

Re: Please Help - Shower Faucet Will Not Turn Off Yes - I fixed this a while back by replacing the Moen cartridge. Thanks to everyone for their feedback. Frank

We replaced the furniture in our 2016 Landmark last summer. We purchased a replacement sofa and two chairs from Lambright in Topeka Indiana - just outside of Shipshewana. This is an Amish business and they make furniture for RV’s. They have a nice showroom where you can see the different...

Yes - just regular king size sheets that you would buy for a bed at home. The elastic around the edges of the fitted sheet keeps the sheet in place. If you decide on a mattress topper, be sure you have enough room for it. When we pull in the slides, the foot of our bed slides into the...

Our Landmark came with a king mattress and we used regular king size sheets. Just look for a set of sheets that are NOT made for an extra deep mattress. We quickly replaced the original mattress because it was not comfortable at all - we woke up each morning with sore hips and backs. We...

Re: Please Help - Shower Faucet Will Not Turn Off Thanks everyone - I have not fixed the problem yet, but was able to get the shower water down from running full force to a slow drip. Will be headed to the hardware store tomorrow to see if I can completely replace or repair. This couldn’t...

We are full time and currently in southern Utah near Zion NP. Our shower faucet will not turn the water off unless we completely shut off the water to the rig. I took apart the faucet and put it back together, without success. The water keeps running. Unless we can get this fixed, we will be...

Thanks Jim - we hadn’t really thought of that because we never go to truck stops for diesel because we have an auxiliary fuel tank in our truck. Appreciate the reminder!

We are full-time and just left our winter RV park in southern Arizona two days ago. Our next stop was a state park where we checked in while we stayed in our car. We were handed a campground map by an employee wearing gloves - the campground fees had been paid online at the time of the...

We are Lambright fans as well. We replaced the original sofa and chairs in our Landmark with Lambright furniture last summer. Best decision ever! The furniture is well made and very comfortable - and we are confident it will last for years to come. We looked at Lazy Boy furniture as well...

Another satisfied Coachnet customer here. We needed assistance on a Sunday in a remote area - and got the service we needed and were back on the road quickly. They also offer discounts on tires a couple of times a year and we saved a considerable amount when we replaced our Goodyear G114’s...

We are full time RVers and we have a Sleep Number in our 2016 Landmark. We do not have a bed that tilts, and I would be cautious about tilting the mattress. We purchased the mattress on sale from Camping World - the price was substantially lower than the same model at the Sleep Number store...

We also have Michelin Defenders on our Ram 3500 dually - purchased from Discount Tires. The Nexan’s that came with the truck did not last long. So far we are happy with the Michelin’s - have about 15,000 miles on them - towing our Landmark full-time. Frank

Larry, We have been to Anchor Down and think it’s one of the best RV resorts we have experienced in the area. We love the Smoky Mountains and each year we try to spend some time there. In terms of buying a rig ... we had been looking online for a specific floor plan - the Landmark Key West -...

We purchased our Landmark at RV’s for Less in Knoxville, TN. We got a good deal and were very happy with the sales and PDI process. Once we took possession of our rig we spent two days/nights living in the rig on their lot going over all the systems and inspecting everything. Then, they paid...

We are full time in a 42+ foot Landmark with the 6 point level up system and four slides. We don’t use any type of tripod or slide stabilizers - we haven’t felt the need. We do have have the X chocks - but rarely use them. Thinking back to the 2019 Heartland National Rally in Goshen - there...

We have a call in to Rick here in Tucson. Thanks for the info. Frank

Thanks - will look at the videos.

The frayed cable is not on the bed slide - it’s on the opposite wall which has cabinets, drawers and the TV. Thanks for the info. Frank

Our Landmark has a frayed cable on the bedroom slide. We are on the road heading for Tucson and would like to get it repaired there. Has anyone run into this problem, and if so, do you know if the entire slide needs to be removed in order to fix/replace the cable. In the meantime, we are not...

Same here - we use Fresh Cab Rodent Repellent in our rig - we place the packets in the basement, under the kitchen and bathroom sinks and anywhere else you think mice can find their way in. We purchase it from Amazon. Good luck.

“Quality” in any business must start at the top of the organization and must be present in every step of the process. It is not an afterthought - or something that you fix after the product is finished. When we toured the Heartland facility this June as part of the national rally group, we...

You can make your own mixture to add to tanks. Use an empty one gallon bottle with lid and add: -40 ounces of Pinesol -1/2 cup of Calgon bath pearls (I get mine from Amazon) Slowly fill the gallon container with water and gently shake to mix. Shake again before using. Add 1/2 cup of this...

You are not alone on this! We are full time and each fall these pesky guys find their way inside and hang around for months. In fact, we found our first stink bug of the season just this week here in northern Illinois. We have made peace with them - we scoop them up and set them free outside...
