Selling our beloved RV and truck. Traveling has become difficult for us. This truck tows this 5th wheel like a dream. Prefer to sell as a package but will sell separate for the right offer. $122,000 for both. Located in Alabama near Mobile. 2017 Heartland Landmark 365 Newport Yeti Package-Dual...

E1 is a communication error code. Carefully take the thermostat off the wall. I say carefully because I was pulling one of my thermostats off the wall, it came loose and flew out of my hand and the wire connector ripped off the back. I had to buy a new thermostat. Anyway, you will find a cable...

I like that suggestion Bill! Now I have a good reason to buy another tool, and I can show my wife your post to prove I need it. Seriously though, that is a good inexpensive way to start a leak check. sherman

I agree 1000%. A shutoff doesn’t cost that much or take that much time. It will make repairs in the future so much easier. I have installed shutoffs in other locations also that make things easier, like underneath faucets. Great reminder guys! sherman

To understand how the regulator is supposed to function go to the Heartland User Guides and read the pages on propane. https://manuals.heartlandowners.org/?man=Propane If you want to get more information about the propane systems in an RV you can go to YouTube and see some good videos. Be a...

We also had leaks on both of our toilets in the first year. I thought it was at the base also but after closer inspection discovered other problems. On the Dometic the water valve was leaking. On the Thetford the vacuum breaker at the back of the toilet was leaking. (I think they called it a...

I have purchased several items for my truck and RV from etrailer.com. They carry some great quality products and they have good pricing on most all things they sell. They also have great customer service. I had a couple orders where there was a problem and they took care of it quickly. My one...

Sorry for being out of touch for awhile, but we have been in campgrounds with no wifi, or very very very slow. There have been other issues, but no need to go into that. I was up on the roof for something else, I don't remember what at the moment, but i finally remembered to take up some...

I was talking to a neighbor in a campground where we were staying and he said he installed SumoSprings on his 5th wheel. I don't remember the RV make or model, but similar in size and weight to ours. He said that the trailer is much more stable than before. Does anybody here have any...

I should elucidate. The smell comes up when i flush as if the odors are not being pulled up the vent. I know it is common to get a little smell, but it seems a little extreme. Thank you for the suggestions Flick, those items could cause a stink, but they seem to be fine. I will give the 360...

We occasionally get black tank smells in the 1/2 bath. After 2 1/2 years of hearing the DW complain that my toilet stinks i have decided that the vent is not working as well as it should. I want to replace the vent cover on the roof with something that draws the stinky out better. I am looking...

I had to replace the toilet flange on our front toilet about a month ago also. I found pretty much the same thing David did. I had previously tried a repair flange that slides into the pipe with a rubber seal and tightens down. That only lasted for a month and the toilet was wobbly again. The...

I have mostly finished the project. On the front wall I used the panel I removed to build a barrier around two sides of the pipes to protect them from objects sliding around during travel. I left one side open so i could slide items behind there that i do not need to access very often. This...

Just a quick update. I rebuilt the rear basement wall by doing the following: Cut it into 5 sections, Installed 2"x2"s on the floor and ceiling, Installed Velcro on the 2 bys. I plan on doing more in this area as i have time, but having the panels easy to remove to get to any section of that...

Jim, the pictures do help a lot, thank you! I do have a couple of questions. 1. There is a picture where you drilled a hole and filled it with silicone when you moved the leveling control panel. Was the hole to give space for the connector on the back of the panel? 2. You installed a cover...

This is a good idea Gaffer, but it would bring back some bad memories of crawling into walls and above ceilings when i was doing commercial building maintenance. Oh the stories I could tell. That is part of the reason my body is in such bad shape. Thank you for the idea though.

Hello Flick, That looks like it turned out real nice, and I am envious of your shop! I see you are in Texas, we are in Texas for a time, maybe we should come visit your shop for a while so we can finish up our projects. :D It is a little tough to do any big upgrades\modifications in a...

Wow, before I went to bed last night I posted my question. I expected a couple answers in a week or so. I was very happy to see several responses this morning. Thank you all so much for your input. After I study the links and the various ideas I will probably have more questions, then use a...

I want to make the walls in my basement quick and easy to remove and reinstall. I plan on cutting the panels into smaller sections but have not figured out a good method for fastening the panels without using screws. Any suggestions? If this is not the right category for this question, let me...

Re: It’s been a great ride! Jim, Back in 2016 I knocked on the front door of your house in Falcon. I was all greasy because I had been working on my car, we lived just down the road from you then. You gave me a wary look when you answered the door but still greeted me with a smile. I introduced...

I have a feeling the flush jets are not always installed the same in all the tanks, whatever is easiest at the time. It seems different people have different experiences. We have two toilets, so two black tanks, and they both seem to flush a little differently. If I just turn on the flush water...

I also have a 2017 Landmark 365. So far I have had to replace two leveling jacks and one slide out ram. I have one more slide out ram that I still need to replace. I have the ram sitting in the back seat of the truck waiting for warmer weather. Once I replace the last leakier I will bleed the...

That is the style, but i need the 3" light for in the closet. Fortunately, they have those also. Thanks, Sherman

I hope this isn't hijacking the thread, but another warning for those with small dogs. We have two Chihuahuas. They like to jump straight up when they get excited, like when we are preparing or eating food. The other day Roy jumped up in the kitchen and came down next to the kitchen cabinet...

Thunderbolt, I realize this is a pretty old thread, but did you ever get this figured out? If you have the round LED fixtures similar to what I have in my 2017 Landmark, you can pull straight down on the cover and it will snap right off. There is another style that threads off about a 1/4 turn...

I decided on a Channel Master OTA DVR. I am happy with it so far. It records well and It seems like i have a clearer picture and stronger audio than before. It also has a streaming feature, which i have not used yet. Thank you all for your input.

We have been looking for a DVR that can record over the air signals. There does not seem to be many options available. Is anybody using a DVR to record OTA programs? We can't really afford satellite service at this time. Thanks, Sherman

Thanks Garry. Looking forward to meeting a bunch of new friends and learning new things.

I know this is getting close to the day of the event, but I have a couple questions. 1. Is it too late rent a golf cart? If so, are there other types of motorized transportation available. 2. Can we still have our rig weighed when we arrive? After having two surgeries in four months I kind...

The panel was trimmed off about an 1/8" during the repair. Thanks though.

The wall on our Newport is coming apart. It is the wall between the kitchen and the rear bathroom. We had the rig in the shop for some repairs including the wall. They put a bunch of staples along the edge of the wall panel. Wallpaper tape has been ordered and we are supposed to go back to have...

I like the idea of adding valves to the overflows. Having water flushing out as i drive down the road seems rude. Somebody behind me might think it is other than clean water.

I filled the fresh water tank to about two thirds because we are going to be in a place where we do not have water hook up. My wife was following in the car as I was towing the rig to the new location. She said there was water coming out of both overflows when going down the road. When we...

I finally got a call back from KIB. They admitted that this is a known problem and the display board will need to be replaced. Since the rig is still under warranty it will have to be handled through Heartland. I have the trailer in the shop now for a bunch of warranty issues (26 items) and the...

After reading the various threads on furniture I have not seen anybody address getting the old furniture out. Is the door wide enough to get the couch and theater seats out without taking a chainsaw to them?

Merry Christmas all from sunny (but cold) Manitou Springs Colorado. Sherman & Jerri and the two little dogs

Dan, I will pull the panel and check out the wiring. I am thinking that you are right though, that it is a defective panel. On the water heater, I have checked out the KIB control board. The fuse is good (checked it with a meter) and the indicator lights are responding correctly as far as I...

Jim, Thank you for the phone number, I will call them tomorrow and see what they suggest. I have downloaded the user guide but did not find anything that helped me for this problem. Thanks, Sherman

The Systems Monitor is locking up at least twice a week now. I looked for a fuse or relay but can't find anything marked Systems Monitor. I can reset it by cutting shore power and turning off the 12V disconnect. If we were traveling every couple days it would probably not be an issue but we...
