We had a great time!! Little Paigey is sold on rally life....good food and lots of people to talk to. Many thanks to the guys at Henderson's for the suspension inspection. Robert uncovered an issue that looked fairly minor but when I got it into Safari in Redding, it turned out to be kind of...

Take stuff for cooking. You will want to try out your new stove and microwave. Bedding and towels. If they haven't changed the mattress, you will need a memory foam topper but you might want to spend a couple of nights sleeping on it. If you end up crippled, get the topper!! If your dealer...

I'm going to chime in here even if I am not an expert!! I have a B&W companion hitch and love it. It is easy to hook up to the trailer and even easier to take the hitch out. Leaves a flat bed without rails. The components are pretty light and goes in and out in under 5 minutes. I have not...

I wasn't too worried about it. It isn't like Seven Feathers - You might need a golf cart to see your friends on the other side of the park!!

Reservations made!! I don't have a spot number, not sure I am actually with the group. I waited too long to make reservations. Arriving on 3/30 and leaving 4/2. I can hardly wait!

I will be making my reservations on Monday!! It will be great to see all of you guys and meet the new ones. Keeping my fingers crossed that the weather holds - if it snows I won't be able to get my rig out. Deb - I will pm you with the particulars.

Me too, me too!! It was a nice long rally with exceptional people. Looking forward to next years regional rally. @Ted and Janelle - PM me with your phone numbers if you want to go for sushi some time!! Usually for lunch.

Dang!! I have to be in Sparks and all set up by 1pm. Sarah has to see the doc and I am either watching Paige or going with Sarah. It would have been fun to follow you guys down the road.

Just an FYI - If you are planning on taking I80 East, it is a mess as usual in the summer!! It is usually less congested early in the morning and make sure that your cooling system is working optimally!! Just plan on some slow going and narrow lanes and you will be fine. See you all in Sparks!

I had a problem in Wyoming as a California resident. The gun shop owner said he could sell to me, but he would have to follow all of the California laws....so you can figure out the rest.....no sale. My friend bought a long gun and it took all of a 10 minute phone call, she paid the bill and...

John - Just made my reservations - coming in on the 30th and leaving on the 5th. Looking forward to seeing everyone and attending my first ever regional rally!!

OK!! I have a reservation but no site yet since Linda had the day off. Arriving on Thursday and leaving on Monday!!

I vote for the Kindle!! I bought the first one out and upgraded to the second version. Since then, I have given three for gifts and expect to give another one this Christmas. Have you checked CNET for ratings? Just a thought. I also read somewhere that Barnes and Nobles is on the market for...

Will you at least be able to go, Kristy? That sucks! I am going to find a back up baby wrangler so that I can go to this one. I don't want to miss out on all the fun.

I just discovered that California is now requiring smog tests on our one ton trucks. Anyone out there have any info about this? Or any experience having your truck smog tested? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Thanks Art and Teresa for another fantastic rally! They just keep getting better and better. I'm looking forward to the venue change next year.

I travel solo and have a Landmark which I tow with a Chevy 3500 dually. I have used the dually as a daily driver from time to time and I have to admit, that I really like the way it handles and the ride is pretty comfortable. My other car is a Chevy Avalanche and the cab of the dually is...

Hi!! I RV solo in a Landmark with a Chevy 3500 dually. Your story sounds similar. Everyone in my extended family has 5th wheels and I had to get one too if I wanted to keep up. The first year I followed them around and went out about once a month from April to October. The second year, I...

Let me preface this with the disclaimer that I am no expert - not by a long shot but....I had a similar problem while traveling the western states last year. My problem was solved by a pressure regulator!!! I had a leaky rig for six weeks and then took it to the shop. They could not get it to...

You could park the CRV in the bed of the dually!! I hope you go with the dually. My extended family has 4 fifthwheels. Everyone but one has a dually and he wishes he could change up. Much more stable. I drive mine solo but all of my sisters-in-law have no problem maneuvering their duallys.

Sparks Marina is a beautiful campground. Really well maintained and close to lots of stuff like an outlet mall and Scheels, one of the largest sporting (as in all outdoor sports) goods stores around. I think it is a great choice for our rally. Please add me to the list of attendees!

Yay!! Another solo female with a Heartland!!! At long last!!! Sorry, though, I don't know a danged thing about solar. I just wanted to say welcome and hope to run into you at the July rally in Sparks, NV. I know there have been threads about solar power and how to use it with a...

Supreme Elite® PDX1™ shotshells in 410 by Winchester in my Taurus Judge. Sweet.

Wow!! Larry, I have been off the forum for too long!! Sorry to hear about all of this but glad it has a silver lining. Have you started shopping for the new Landmark yet? Those automatic levelers sound nice. I am sure you will keep us posted. Don't forget Dave Smith in Idaho for your truck...

I had this same problem this summer. I took a long trip, moving CG's every night. About every 4th day, my freshwater tank would be overflowing. Before I could take it in for repairs, my brother-in-law discovered that the freshwater fill tube was incorrectly installed to the smaller ring at...

WoooooHoooo! A Grand Canyon and Directors! Congrats, John and Lori and welcome. We can finally put all that energy to good use!

Mike and Connie - As BillyJoeJimBob said earlier - TAKE A LESSON!!! I travel alone and never pulled anything bigger than a 2 horse trailer and then only when I could pull through and never back up. I called Gold Country Driving and RV school. They are based in Jackson and Stockton and come to...

OK! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Just kidding. I have finally finagled the weekend off and will be joining you all!! I will be arriving on Thursday and leaving Sunday and staying in #7. It is a back-in so I will need help. Look forward to seeing all of you then.

Janesville, so probably about the same as Sac, but have car, will travel. I hope to have the keys by 12/1.

Either weekend works for me as well. And since I am officially from Northern California now - my offer was accepted on the house I was looking at - I would like to attend my first chapter rally!!

I will be bringing chicken enchiladas for Saturday and a side dish for Sunday. Can't wait to get this show on the road!

Congratulations!! Does that mean you are down in my neck of the woods? I will PM you my phone number. Maybe - if you can take a break from that precious baby - we can do dinner or lunch or hit the mall to buy really cute baby clothes. I'm glad she is here safely.

We discovered that the plug on the end opposite the motor was cross threaded. Stopped leaking when it was put on properly.

The Augusta also has an electric reel for the 50 amp electric cord. One of my favorite features. The hydraulic landing gear in front is pretty neat too.

Terry - Welcome to the forum!! Make sure you check out the threads for the upcoming rallies in California - there is one in Jackson in October and one in Buellton in November. You could meet a whole bunch of Heartlanders at one or both of them.

I don't have a washer/dryer in my rig, but I do have a front loader at home. I try to leave the door open after use but sometimes it does get a moldy odor. I use a cup of vinegar in the wash and it removes the odor. It also works when you forget and leave the towels in there overnight. Works...

The lost Landmark was not me! Not that I haven't been lost - just not lost in your neck of the woods. My rig is in the shop getting a few things repaired. I saw an Edge on my travels and you are right - it does look good. See you in October?

I have made my reservations!! Confirmed with Flying Flags for 11/12 to 11/16 - four nights. I will be attending the Italian dinner as well. Let me know what my grand total is and I'll pop in the mail. Thanks for all the hard work Larry!! This is shaping up to be a great get together.

` Boy does that bring back memories. We used to make the pilgrimage every other year. We started with our Piper Cherokee and two of us flying commercial. The last year, we flew our North American Navion. Camped under the wing every time. That is an incredible air show. Glad you had a good...

Thanks guys! I will get a valve and have it ready for him when he gets here. I'll have to make his favorite food to bribe him but that is a small price to pay! I think I might look at that access panel again and see if some industrial strength velcro would work to keep the whole mess closed...
