That was when we lost the drivers side rear most spring bolt. I did not find it until a few weeks later when greasing wet bolts for next trip. At that time everything looked normal but I noticed what I thought was some minor tire wear on the inside of 2 of the tires. 6,000 miles after it was...

danmeyer my 2015 came with wet bolts and from my research they are Dexter. There are 2 types that fit my shackles, the first kind is where the threaded end is the same thickness as the bolt and the other the threaded end is one size smaller than the circumference of the bolt. I believe the 2nd...

Greased 3 times a year. Grease is cheap.

The most important statement made is "they were installed by Heartland". If the axles are supplied by Dexter of Lippert and Heartland installs them on frame they should be responsible for alignment. RV manufacturers need to take responsibility for shoddy work or train their people so these...

Had a wet bolt failure on the drivers side rear leaf spring. Don't know how it happened but returned home from a trip to NC and I got a brake warning from my dodge. Trailer brake error. Leaf spring had crushed brake wiring between frame and leaf spring. I could not find a bushing so I picked up...

H rated and this wear is not normal. Have an appointment with an RV alignment shop on the 19th.

Goodyears.

Is anyone else getting wear issues on tires? The door side tire on front axle is wearing on the outer rib 3x faster than elsewhere. The tire on the other side is wearing on the inside edge but not as severe. I have had to replace the bolt in the rear shackle on the drivers side as it either...

Cholo no the backs are not attached. It was easy to get the 2 pieces for each chair in. I had to completely disassemble the old factory theater seats to get them out.

I do not understand the TV hook up in the master bedroom that Landmark sets as standard. What were they thinking with no hdmi connection in the closet for the tv. I had to add a hdmi cable from the coax/tv booster area to actually use a satellite box. You can only get campground cable or antenna...

We had an issue with the theater seats in our Charleston. The side arms are only connected to the base flat metal frames on the bottom providing no support. The arms started to lean out within a few months. We were going through the hydraulic line fiasco so we decided to replace them ourselves...

I have had all 3 systems. The Valor system, even after getting the longer cabled antenna, would never record 4 tires. The best I would get was 2 all the time and sometimes 3 and the back two tires never worked at the same time. I had the TST system prior to purchasing my Landmark. I would...

Jesstalkn, is your transfer switch hooked up only to shore power or do you have a generator also? I am considering adding a generator when we go full timing next year. My St. Augustine came with "generator prep" and after talking with the factory I am more confused. It appears I have an Onan...

Got back from a trip to NC and through I 95 and I 40 we hit some awful potholes. Bad enough to break the belts in a brand new front tire on my truck. I noticed on a weekend trip 3 weeks after we returned that the 5th wheel seems to be towing angled towards the drivers side. The rear looks like...

My wife won't look at it without 2 bathroom doors.

Final Update Kudos to the factory. All lines have been replaced with braided steel lines. New insulation, radiant barrier and coroplast bottom installed. Brake line fixed and faulty hydraulic pump fuse replaced. Thanks to everyone who helped.

I think you have the same tv setup as we do. The tv is hanging on a u channel behind it. There should be 2 screws at the bottom corners one on each side holding a bracket attached to the tv. Remove these 2 screws and with someones help tilt the tv from the bottom out about 2 inches then lift the...

Update The factory has agreed to replace all the lines as well as the underbelly, radiant barrier and insulation. I am paying for an upgrade to braided steel covered lines. Hopefully the dealer will finally close out some issues I have had with the camper since we picked I up now Sept. 2015.

Abear79 no my wife and I love out Landmark. The dealer is bad real bad. I am waiting for a call back from Heartland Customer service. I have talked with my companies attorney and am now following his advice. I have requested a quote from the dealer to replace all lines with braided steel lines...

The crimped ends have either blown off the hose or a bubble has formed between the 2 layer of plastic pipe at the fitting and blown out.

It is still under warranty. I have not heard back from Heartland yet. I have been talking to Ron at the factory and he has said wait until the dealer writes it up and makes the request. Now I am awaiting a return call. You cannot re-crimp the fittings. Looking at the failed fittings it appeared...

UPDATE Well the saga continues as we were told on Friday afternoon by the dealer Landmark had refused to replace any of the hoses. They will pay for new insulation, radiant barrier and plastic bottom barrier. There is evidence of fluid seeping at other fitting and I will be talking to Heartland...

Re: ATF: Landmark - SCREAMING How would you feel looking at this 6 times in 16 months? This one like 3 others blew off the fitting. Other 2 developed bubbles between the inner and outer layer at the fitting then the outer layer would burst and fluid leak everywhere. All from bad crimps.

Re: ATF: Landmark - SCREAMING Yes transmission fluid is used the as far as you can see it is soaked above the coroplast. I would like it replaced as well as my friend, who camps with us all the time and owns a transmission shop, says the transmission fluid in the fiberglass insulation in highly...

Recently we had our Charleston in for warranty work and the service adviser said there was a factory recall on the slide mechanism on our bedroom slide. After we got it back my wife said they did not put the trim back on between the sidewall slide out and the camper wall. This covers the black...

Re: ATF: Landmark - SCREAMING Update. Factory got involved the morning after post. However unit was in a remote campground on the west side of Lake Okeechobee. We live 90 miles away and made the trek there yesterday to drop plastic belly pan so hydraulic mobile repairs could be made. What a...

Re: ATF: Landmark - SCREAMING I am sorry for venting on this forum. I will be talking to the factory tomorrow. My wife and I love our 5th wheel but believe the Dealer is a liar and is totally incompetent. We talked with some factory people last Thursday at the Tampa RV show but that was before...

Ours lasted 30 nights before I could no longer sleep on it. We installed a Sleep Number bed and love it. We just got the least expensive King size with no box spring and picked up a 3" memory foam cover from Costco. It also is much easier to make as my wife just reduces the pressure and the...

We have removed the seats from our 2015 Charleston. P O C to put it nicely. The arm rests started falling away from the seat cushion and the only thing stopping them from falling completely over is the slide out wall. The arm rest is only connected to the seat with 2 bolts from 2- 1/8 inch by...

My 2015 Charleston is sitting in a campground on the west side of Lake Okeechobee in Florida with yet another blown hydraulic line. This on appears to be for one of the rooms because fluid is running out of the belly pan and rooms and jacks will not move. We have had 3 lines replaced and 3 new...

I don't know if the 3 sliding glass doors used on the tub in my Charleston are used on any other Heartland model so I am asking here. The screws and wheels attached to the top of the glass doors are falling off. I tried to lift and work the inside or outside panel over the lip (bottom) but have...

There are a number of companies that do resin tops including Quartz which is a natural anti-bacterial surface. Most of the large home improvement stores have companies contracted locally that will make anything you want. You can get no bowl, top mounted bowl, flush mounted bowl or under counter...

The kitchen countertop and sink are a resin based material like Dupont's Corian. Any non abrasive cleaner will work. To shine it up any decent automotive wax will work. As for the induction cooktop any cleaner made for glass stovetops will work.

Started out with a 2500 4x4 2004 Dodge. Lasted 600 miles before transmission input shaft broke. Triple lock torque converter way to tight for this setup. Now have a 2016 3500 Dodge DRW with Aisin Trans. Love this combo. I have a swivelwheel behind with a Goldwing and generator so I am around...

Thank you I will be calling tomorrow. Camper has spent the last 5 weeks at dealer and nothing has been done. They claim they are waiting for Landmark to authorize.

TxCowboy did you find the satellite feed to the bedroom behind the tv? I cannot find the feed anywhere in my Charleston.

Had a few issues with new unit. Only 2 gave us fits. The batteries stopped taking a charge from the converter and when hooked up to the truck the aux. fuse in the truck would blow when we tried to use the hydraulic pump to bring in the rooms or level the camper. Had to buy battery charger to...
