    RESOLVED: 120V AC Outlets stopped working (Defective Surge Guard)

    Re: 120V AC Outlets stopped working in multiple slides - Landmark Augusta Thank you, Danemayer. I was looking at options and read about Progressive, but don't have any experience with their products. They get excellent ratings on Amazon. The SurgeGuard was 9 years old and I like the...

    RESOLVED: 120V AC Outlets stopped working (Defective Surge Guard)

    Re: 120V AC Outlets stopped working in multiple slides - Landmark Augusta No generator prep. Yes, there is a cord reel. Plugged power cord directly into pedestal - no SurgeGuard - everything is working just fine. Looks like something is wrong with SurgeGuard. Appreciate the help!

    RESOLVED: 120V AC Outlets stopped working (Defective Surge Guard)

    Today we moved our RV about 1/4 mile to a new site in the same RV park. After getting set up in the new site, none of the 120V AC outlets would work in three slideouts - Kitchen (except the microwave outlet), Entertainment, and Living/Dining slide. All of them were working before we relocated...

    Gear Vendors

    GSGRAPE, I have had G/V installed on 2008 F450/6.4LDiesel/4.88 rear for 5 years. When it works, it's a dream!! I calculated about 30% improvement in MPG with mine engaged. The only thing I would caution about is towing with the G/V engaged. When I bought mine, G/V said it is good for...

    A big no no......warning

    Hate to hear about your experience - glad nobody was injured. During lot's of towing with a new roll-top cover, the pull strap would flop around in the turbulence until it finally broke the hook (not the strap.) It caught my attention when the strap started slapping the back window -...

    Pre-Nashville 2010 Mini-Rally & Convoy

    Gus - Thanks! Something unexpected came up with our college student daughter and we had to leave for Nashville yesterday. So, we hooked up the rig and headed west to see her. We made it to the Cumberland Mountain State Park off I-40 Exit 322. It's a beautiful campground. We called KOA...

    Water Pump Pressure

    Open the Arteries on Water Pump to let it Flow! I had similar disappointing water flow when using our water pump in the Landmark. It has a 5.7 GPM pump with sensor flow control, but it ran full throttle all the time and delivered poor pressure and volume in the kitchen. I made two...

    Antenna information

    Thanks for sharing that. Just thought I would admit that I've done the same thing, thought the Wingman would add some range to our rig's reception when traveling to less populated areas out West this summer. I too, returned the unit to the retailer after a short, disappointing climb up to the...

    Direct TV Dish

    We have DirecTV in our rig, too. We use a KVH dish mounted on the roof. If you are inclined to use your home receiver(s) in your RV, I suggest Cookie's approach with a 5LNB slimline dish. If you want HD reception - and who doesn't when the rig's have HD capable TVs? The 3LNB that comes with...

    TV Commercial Rant...

    The only good thing about these high volume commercials is that they provide us with a 'wake-up' notice if for some reason our attention has waned while watching the primary program? LOL

    Docking Station Drain

    While we own a Landmark, I've noticed that there is not caulk around the UDC bottom opening which allows any stray water to drain from the floor quickly. Your Sundance may be similar. Sorry to hear about the behind the wall leak. We had ours in for some service and apparently the technician...

    6.4L - Sounds like a Helicopter

    UPDATE: Helicopter Sound After a listening ride with a mechanic, he describes my helicopter sound as: 'Turbo Bark.' He says it is the turbo turning so fast that it is causing cavitation in the turbo due to lack of air (I had this happen with a power boat propeller before but hadn't thought...

    Rally service - SOOOO Awesome

    We really appreciated the service, too. Ironically, we had no issues to request in advance. However, as we were on our way to Goshen we crossed some very harsh sections of Indiana's I-74. Well I had absently forgot to put the stove covers on the stove before we left in the morning. One...

    mpg towing with Ford super duty

    Wow, if we have to be honest about mileage - what fun is left? I've got a 2008 F450 w/6.4L and 4.88 rear end, my GearVendor will provide nearly the equivalent of 3.73 when engaged. Here's what I typically see towing our Landmark and crew, total Gross Combined Weight is usually between 22,500...

    Ever had a leak like this

    It can happen any time! I read this thread a couple days ago and then went on my way reading other stuff. This morning as I prepared to take my first cup of coffee, I looked out at our rig parked in the back yard (yes it is allowed here) and I saw that my doorside security light was one-third...

    A couple that we've stayed at over the years, but are on the North end between Pigeon Forge & Sevierville. if you like the outlet malls, DollyWood, Governor's Crossing, musical dinner theaters, then these are good locations. If you're wanting to get right into the Gatlinburg & Smokey Mts...

    Heat strip or heat pump for bedroom ac

    We wanted a unit in the BR to cool on hot summers at the beach. Since the Heat Pump is ducted throughout the unit, putting in an A/C unit in the BR was all we needed it's 13,500 BTU vs. the 15,000 BTU on the HP. The dealer suggested installing the heat strip for colder weather as a...

    Who's travelling through Minnesota

    BC, Try this address: http://kampsight.com/ I didn't find it through KOA's site either. I searched for 'campgrounds near Woodbury, MN' and this is the one we stayed at. I almost thought I'd have to admit that it was several years ago. So when you said you couldn't find it, I first...

    Who's travelling through Minnesota

    TXBobcat, The KOA in Woodbury is a very nice campground. We camped there in a tent and in their Kampin Kabins several years ago. It was very well maintained and the RV sites had good spacing between them. That's when I dreamed about getting a nice camper (especially after the thunderstorm...

    For Yorkie lovers

    Now, if you are going to be at the Goshen Rally with your Yorkies, I may persuade my wife to let me register us and come up there to meet some fellow Yorkie lovers. Here's pictures of our two girls. Lucie is the older one, Milo (daughter's choice) is now just 13 months old and has had her...

    Never heard of Heartland

    Tight fit

    Well, I may be putting in more than you desire, but it really appears you have that tree there as the first phase of supplying you with lumber to build a covered roof off the side of your house. You'll eliminate the need for snow/ice removal, the rubber roof will stay looking very nice as will...

    Unique camping experience in Tennessee

    Ken & Kathy, Here I thought we would be looking for the Bighorn. You drove right past our place on your way to Knoxville if you took I-26W to I-81S. We're just off that junction. We've been to a couple of places near Knoxville, too and they were pretty closely spaced. Another place that...

    Unique camping experience in Tennessee

    We live only 40 minutes from this place. I've seen the sign at the interstate exit, but always too busy to take the time to go check it out. My wife & I are going to drive over there tonight to take a look before the sun sets on another beautiful Northeast Tennessee night. Thanks for bringing...

    2nd Air Conditioner for Bedroom

    We had our dealer install the Penguin 13.5K, with a heat strip, in the bedroom. After first time out following installation, we took it back to have a thermostatic control mounted to the wall. Otherwise, it ran the fan full-time with the original unit mounted control panel. I can't sleep well...

    Steel Stems and Balance of Mission Tires

    TrukNutt, have you ever experienced these beads just flying off of your wheels? Two weeks ago I was getting my F450/Dually's wheels rotated and balanced. The dealer couldn't get it done right the first time, so I had them do it over and they used these type of bead weights on my rear wheels...

    6.4L - Sounds like a Helicopter

    You all are great! This is my second diesel, had an '05 6.0L. I like the plane description of the cooling fans kicking in and I've experienced that in spades - sound like a jet engine ripping the plane off the runway. The sound I'm hearing is distinctly like helicopter blades...

    5th Airborne

    Factory guide info I had my RV dealer install a 5th Airborne on the '08 Landmark. He just told me to fill it to 85 PSI - he didn't give me any manuals with it. That's what I've done so far and it's worked well. But, I was curious and contacted the manufacturer. They sent me the attached...

    6.4L - Sounds like a Helicopter

    I've been reading posts from many of you Heartland owners, I liked what I saw so much that I ponied up the dough to become an official member. I drive an '08 F450 with 6.4L diesel and love it - my third Ford truck by choice. However, I've notice that under two circumstances while in Tow/Haul...

    Truck for Landmark Augusta

    I started out with an '05 F350 SRW w/3.73 rear end and a Pull-Rite hitch, great combo for our prior 5er which was shorter and lighter than our '08 Augusta. I didn't feel real comfortable pushing GCWR limits with the new Landmark connected, nor did I like the SRW with this big of a rig. So I...

    5th Airborne air pin box.

    I put the 5th Airborne on my '08 Landmark and it improved the ride quite nicely. Still rough over some of those long stretches of concrete interstate. Prior to my current set up, I had the Pull-Rite hitch in a short bed Ford F350 and loved it! Made maneuvering in tight place a breeze. Don't...
