    That is it for Project Landmark. Overall happy with the couch. COVID changed a lot of plans and being close to home is important. We have traded to a Venture Sporttrek Touring Edition STT 32VRB Travel Trailer. Certainly not a landmark but will allow us to camp more and no stairs inside and...

    Tow vehicle options

    Look at the CCC of the truck you want to buy. I looked at a SRW Lariat 2020 F350 Crew 8 ft box. The CCC was 4600 lbs. That is enough to tow your 18,000 lb coach. A decision you make on what you need is yours. FTR I tow with a SRW 2016 F350 Lariat Crew Shortbox with snowplow prep and Camper...

    AWM990 turns on & off repeatedly

    This problem is related to low voltage on the Jensen head unit. I had one in my 2017 Bighorn. I double the DC supply wiring to provide less voltage drop and that stopped the problem in my case. Brian

    Plywood coating under the slides

    I would recommend that you recoat the wood if required. Install stainless steel on the roller points. I did this with my slide in slide on my Landmark on the inner slide. This saved my slide bottom from being chewed up. Attached with silicone and stainless screws, drill or punch holes first...

    Starlink goes for Mobile Authorization

    We do not have WiFi anywhere we go. Rely on cell internet often 3g but a fast 3g! Email and social media use. We do camp in the trees but can find holes for satellite access. This is a game changer opening up the north for extended stays and for work @ camp.
