    LM 365 Lighted Sign - Order Form

    Re: LM 365 Lighted Sign Just about everyone has replaced the LED's... You can get replacement on Amazon. I used a 2.5 foot string with a USB plug at the end for around $10.

    Landmark Madison Washer/Dryer

    It has been discontinued after just 3 years. I believe it was rushed to production because they needed a front entertainment area product. I had mine for 15 months and it was in the shop for a total of 4 months. I was going to have it sent to Heartland, but at the last minute I sold the unit...

    Furrion TV Quality

    I got this: Put the Furion next to a good TV and you can see the difference right away. I replaced my 2 Furions . The Samsung’s are brighter, scan faster, (something we need to do every time we change locations), sound better, and overall look better. I get that the drive to the bottom in cost...

    Landmark Madison Washer/Dryer

    There is no reason for me to believe that Heartland would even consider anything like that. It was best to take the hit and move on. I may look at another RV in the future - but for now I'll lick my wounds and sit on the side lines.

    Landmark Madison Washer/Dryer

    I see that Heartland mercifully discontinued the Madison. I had mine for 15 month, (4 in the shop) for several of the rear bedroom issues mentioned. Between the washer ending up near the bed to the TV mirror cracking - cloth hangers rod falling out and other things it was just too much. After...

    Leaking black water valve

    So… in order to correct a bad engineering problem with the dump valves being too far up stream from the outlet pipe, (cable dump valves have their own problems), the solution is to spend more money and add an “end of discharge pipe” gate valve. BRILLIANT! So really - no issue with this since...

    Quality Control

    Surprisingly NO! You are paying for the warranty work! All new RV’s under warranty have an additional 1-3% built into then for a warranty account. It’s a line item on a profit and loss statement when you dig deeper into a companies financials. The repairs are negotiated between the dealer...

    Couple of questions, for someone considering the purchase of a Landmark 365

    Well I’m out! After 15 months of ownership, 4 of it in the “shop” I sold my Landmark Madison. Message received RV industry, lesson learned. It would not be right for me to single out Heartland in particular. This is an on going industry issues. I have been spoiled by the service I get from my...

    Camping World acquires Gander Mountain

    Regardless if you like it or not, Camping World will be the 800 pound gorilla in the room. They have reached critical mass at a faster rate than any RV reseller. The additional pressure on the “mom and pops” RV reseller will be intense. Lemonis is right. Any focus on it’s current base will...

    Another new last TV

    Be aware- driving with my wife with the seat massage on in about 20 - 30 minutes she needs to use the bathroom. Don't tell her I said that.

    Another new last TV

    In 6 years I went from Ford to Ram and back to Ford..... I have no idea what I was thinking with the Ram. I'm sure they have got a lot of the bugs out of the Ram truck. I still see a lot on the road, but I'm just not in a good mood to look at the Ram trucks again.

    Power cord reel

    Just once - don't hold it down. Otherwise you would need two people to operate. One to pull the cord to the plug and one to hold the button down. If you try to hold the release down when you are the only one pulling you can end up wrapping the cord around the reel the wrong way, (lets just say...

    Power cord reel

    When you find the instructions it says that its made to release, (or unlock) to use it to plug in and to hold down to retract. Mine is the same way - when I use it to plug in I only hit the release side and pull the cord vs holding it down.

    TV Quality in Landmark

    I sent you a PM. There is nothing special about the mirror. Its a piece of one-way glass. You can get it at a good glass shop. It should not cost more that $45-55. I would not recommend adding it to you RV. There is a reason they no longer offer it.
