Are 17" rims available. I have some spare 17" LT radials I would like to put on my trailer. Comments?

I usually use the air compressor to flush out the black tank rinse on our trailer. I forgot to do it this year and wonder if it is necessary to do this as the trip out to the trailer is about 100 kms. Has anybody ever had an issue with not doing anything with this line in the winter.

During the night I heard the circuit breaker close and the night light in bathroom go out. The night light was plugged into the GFCI and had tripped that plugs circuit breaker several times. So this time when the main breaker went off it also cut off power to all the plugs in the kitchen...

I am finally getting around to replacing the lino in the kitchen of our Landmark Augusta. In order to install the "Allure" flooring I was thinking I would jack up the slide to finish off near the outside edge. Has anyone done this, how did you jack the slide up, any problems or...

I have an 09 Landmark Augusta that has sprung a seriously big leak in the grey tank (#2) that is located under the kitchen floor. It seems to be right above the axles but I need to confirm this as I want to cut the underbelly and see if I can fix it. I know this is the tank that is leaking...

I have to replace the kitchen faucet in our 08 Augusta and I need the distance between the holes. Unfortunately the trailer is not close by and I won't be there for a while. I want to buy a new faucet here but want to get the right one. Does anyone know the distance between the taps? Thanks.

Went out to the trailer 3 days ago and found one of the overhead cabinet doors was falling apart. I am wondering what kind of glue people are using to repair this. I have the bar clamps at home to use however I would rather not take the door off so I may use a strap clamp or something like...

Went camping for 7 days and everything ran fine. Yesterday we packed everything up and returned our trailer to the on-site storage area and everything was running completely normal, although 2 days previous the power went off and on rapidly about five times. Our trailer is protected by a...

I am looking at 3 tire brands for my truck, tell me what you think about these particular ones that have made it to my short list. If you have any one of these brands, would you buy it again? Tire size is 235-80R17 (E) for my 08 Dodge dually. Michelin wants $2400.00 for the LTX, Nitro Dura...

I am going to the US for a solo trip. I need to know the size of flourescent tubes in our 09 Landmark but the trailer is out at the campground. Any ideas as I need to buy a replacement for one, or is it cheaper to replace the fixture.

We are going to be in Elkhart in about 4 weeks and while there plan on touring the Heartland facilities. Are there any recommendations for camp ground not too far away from the plant? thanks,

Went out to our campground for the long week-end and everything went well, although yesterday noticed the power went off momentarily but it started back up without a problem. Today when packing up I went to unplug the 30 amp power. I shut down the breaker and pulled the plug, walked back to...

In the next couple of weeks I will be stripping out the lino in our Landmark which split down the middle of the trailer. I plan on installing Allure flooring but I would like to jack the slide up enough to remove the old lino and install the new stuff. Has anyone done this and if so, how did...

I have a private campground membership and a new member just joined. He had bought a new SOB fifth wheel and the dealer delivered and set it up. I couldn't believe what I saw. They left the large fifth wheel up on its landing gear and the axles and wheels were 12" off the ground. I hate to...

I discovered that the little "L" bracket that is screwed into the clothes rod bracket and then screwed into the dryer to hold the washer/dryer in place broke away. I was wondering why and then discovered that this little bracket is all that holds them in place. The washer/dryer sit in a...

We went to our trailer to camp last Sunday and when I opened the door I was greeted by a disaster. The lino in our Landmark kitchen had split from the front near the stairs down to the kitchen peninsula and then across to the heating vent and then on to the carpeted area of the living room...

The steering box on my 08 Dodge 3500 is now leaking after 80,000 kms. Replacements are about $500 plus labour so my question is does anyone have trouble with theirs and if so how long were you able to drive with it leaking before being replaced. The parts are on back order until April and...

I remember viewing a thread discussing the lost fm aerial on some trailers but I can't find it. Well mine is now lost also. What has anybody been doing that faced this issue?:(

I have the 08 Dodge with the 6.7 Cummins. On a recent trip in the mountains towing my Landmark the Insight monitor showed a coolant temperature of around 225 F for a very short period of time. It will normally range from 196 (prairie) to 208 (hills). Has anyone else seen 225 or this not worth...

Our Samsung only shows DVD's in black and white. Only on one occasion did one show up in colour. We haven't used it once but when our grand daughter came to visit, her DVD was in B & W and that brought the issue to the surface again. Any ideas why? TIA:confused:

My water pump used to leak a little and then I tightened all the fittings and it seemed to stop but I was never sure if it was the hose or the pump. I called the manufacturer and they said there was a gasket kit to repair. Phoned around and local dealers are not aware of this kit and want to...

I was changing out the propane tank tonight and after that had a look around. The weld that holds the spacers between the landing gear and the frame is cracked at the frame. It is nearly separated and I discovered where the welding had actually burned through the frame. A weld at the leg...

This is a quick fix. The plastic latch that turns to lock the exterior access panel for the hot water tank broke on my Landmark. It appears to have just become brittle. It has to be fixed to hold the panel on while travelling so I took a small key chain ring the same size as the slotted...

Well I have had trouble with my kitchen slide for a year now. It quit going out all the way and just rocked back and forth. I tried the usual owner attempts by adding oil and reading up and trying to adjust myself, all to no avail. The tech came out from Rocky Mountain House yesterday to...

My next issue to fix is the lead in to our Samsung entertainment centre. The stubby aerial coming out of the back is about 20 cm long (8" ?) and mates with the aerial lead in. I took out the unit to look at, which is a pain because I have to take the door off, and observed that all the wire is...

I purchased one of these a couple of months ago and jus went to wire it in and I have a couple of questions. I found two large "D" ring things with a hole in the centre and v ery poor instructions about what to do with them. Does anyone know what they are for? Thanks:confused:

I discovered that we had a problem with squirrels get inside the basement through the large opening for the slide opening made to accommodate the hydraulic ram moving in and out. This is what I did. Very simple, in my case I used an old mudflap and cut a 1" hole and then made a slot for a...

I have a couple of mods in progress and I may want to post pictures with my outcome. I thought there were instructions somewhere on this site but I cannot find them, if they exist. Can anyone give me some info on how to do this?

I am embarking on a plumbing upgrade and installing residential style manifolds and straightening out the plumbing overall. What I need to know is where the one way valve out of the hot water tank is. Is it inside the tank. I wanted to disconnect the poly pipe at the tank itself and run a...

I found a pine cone under my rear heating duct and started to look around for the way they were getting in. I found it easily. The large opening in the frame to allow the slide arm and ram to come through is wide open for an army of squirrels. It is so big a rabbit might try. We have 3...

I went out and purchased the tools I would need to do this if I ever have to, but I like to test things also. I purchased what I think is the right socket. Can anyone tell me if the seal on the back of the pump where you access the nut is reuseable. I wanted to pull it off to make sure I have...

Well I am posting this out of frustration. For a higher end trailer I am getting disappointed. I have had issues from plant workers not connecting the abs pipes from the washer to the holding tank, which resulted in a huge flood by the time we noticed it, to now with lots of leaks in the...

I travelled to my son's place to visit for a few days. I Plugged our Landmark (t50 amp) into a 15 amp gfci plug and I thought that one leg would work so I could use power in the trailer. All that happens is that I trip the house breaker. I am assuming that you can't run anything in the...

On a couple of occasions now I have posted questions in their respective category and they never show up under What's New. Tonight I posted a plumbing question in the Landmark forum and it has disappeared. That makes it close to useless because a lot of people will just look at the "What's...

Last fall I saw a couple drips of water coming from the basement near the dump valve. Today I was taking it off our winter site (dry camping, power only) but over the week-end we were using the tanks with water we transported there to top up the black and grey #1 tank so they would flush...

I just posted a question in the Landmark forum but it remained there and was not posted to the "what's new" forum. Why does that happen? Just because it was posted in the Landmark section shouldn't restrict it as someone on the Bighorn forum could answer it to. This practice seems to...

Hello. Can someone tell how many wheel bolts an 09 Landmark Augusta would have. My trailer is at our winter site and I need to know how many bolts on the wheels. We are trying to re-spring this thing so we can make it safer and spring dealer needs that info to build an estimate and action...

When the slide comes in it pushes the lino up in a wave. I am afraid it is going to crack the lino. I looked at it from the outside with the slide fully extended. All the lino is lifted up along the outside edge of the floor. Has anybody had this happen to them? Has anybody glued the lino...

The plastic gizmo that latches the screen door to the main door was loose so I tried to tighten it. The screws just spin in the paper thick metal skin. I was going to put larger screws in it but considering the thin skin I wonder if that would work. Has anybody had this issue and what would...

We just came back from the trailer. Discovered a fender has a vertical crack in it running through a screw hole, (of course) and was wondering if anybody has had any success in repairing them. I previously had loosened the screws to try and avoid this. I guess I should have just taken them...
