thanks, missed the first truck.

good read, but why is the gentleman standing in front of a dually when the article is about an f-250?

Here is my thread about that mod. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/8616-Range-Grate-mod

Our first purchase was a second battery. it was at 2:00am and 12 *F outside and the furnace stopped. Luckily we were staying in a Walmart parking lot. found out later that the T.V. was not charging the 12 volt system due to a missing fuse.

Re: My 2012 Ford F450 Classy Chassis truck build - Vinyl Graphics I like to color and the graphics. Additionally if you can get graphics for "cheap" just use Vinyl Off and change out the graphics with each trailer. It took me less than 30 minutes to strip full side graphics off of the 450 with...

Wish we could have been there, it looks like a good time was had by all, but we are trailerless, truckless, and a few thousand miles away. I might try to make it to Gillette next for the National rally for a cameo appearance one day.

Well we are finally RVless. Had the Landmark sell to another young couple in Utah back in June, and Just sold the F-450 to a family in Wheatland, WY to haul a horse trailer for the rodeo. I start classes at the University on Monday, So I will go from driving a 10,000# Ford truck to riding a 26"...

Garden of the Gods CG is nice and in a great location. We stayed there for our wedding, we got married in Manitou. There is another nice small CG east of town Falcon Meadows CG. it is cheaper and greener than GOG. We stayed there for a few day when my Brother got married. it is nothing fancy...

Towed a Landmark with a 4X4 F-450 and the trailer needed no adjustment.

I can't post there either. I think that Michael might have to weigh in on this one...

Well, the trailer is now empty and is stored. It was very odd seeing it so empty and "plain" again. The view out the front window is a bit nicer with out the Landmark block the view.

I am going back to school at UW to become a Pharmacist.

Well it has been almost 2.5 years since we hit the road in our Landmark, but that road trip is now over. Yesterday at 4:00pm we got the key to our house here in Laramie. We spent the last few hours of daylight moving a trailer load of stuff my parents brought up from Colorado and then hauled the...

We can get to our anti-siphon valve by removing the access port in the shower. The problem is probably a broken valve due to the anti-siphon valve freezing because the black tank flush was not winterized, we had that problem the first year we had our trailer.

I had to disassemble our vent and lubricate the slide and crank. I would recommend removing the screen and then the crank mechanism to see if it will crack easily off of the vent. if it works you'll need to grease/lube the slide on the vent. if it does not work you might have to replace the...

When we where in TX 2 summers ago (daytime temps where 105*+). I would put over about 2 hours before our stop for the day and start the generator and turn on both A/C units. it really help make it comfortable inside while setting up.

Now granted we do ~90% of all the baking in the convection oven, there are just some things that do not cook well in it. The Convection unit will dry out my super moist brownies, and there is no way I can fit a rib roast or a turkey in the convection unit. Also when we have guests over it is...

I believe that the controls for the security light are only on the remote control.

have used many different pots and pans on the rear burners and not had any heat issues.

Simple way to get air in the water heater is to: 1 turn off water supply 2 open a hot water faucet higher than the heater 3 go out to the heater and open the T&P valve until water stop draining out 4 close T&P valve 5 close faucet 6 turn on water again

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum, I sure others will jump in here and tell you more about the Trail Runner line.

Put big brother to work and use Google maps to view the parking lots at several hotels. I use to do that to find a go place to park my truck and car hauler on off-road trips when I know there would be no trail head parking.

The way I have always visualized backing any trailer is, the trailer will go the same way as the back side of the steer tires. in more words if the wheels are turned to the right (as in making a forward moving right turn) the back of the wheels are pointed to the left, and that means that the...

Re: F450 Insurance Tom, The fuel mileage is okay, I rarely drive the truck without the trailer and our Augusta weight in at about 16,500# and we average just over 9 mpg. The newer truck are getting better mileage. The big factor in the mileage will be to rear-end gear. a 4:30 gear will be...

I'd be talking to your dealer about some warranty work, otherwise re-sealing the seam is the best fix.

Re: F450 Insurance We love our F-450, but insurance can be a bit tricky and may take some shopping but it can be done. A quick question is are you thinking about a F-450 with a pick-up bed or a utility box? I have seen quite a few neat setups with utility boxes and slide in campers that way...

That one more than came in our Augusta.

Eternabond makes patch kits for the EPDM roof.

I have a set of Hankook AH11 on the 450, but they are 19.5" wheels so choices are a bit more limited, but they are holding up well and run smooth on the highway.

Dale, welcome to the Heartland owners forum. I am sure that someone here can point you in the right direction, but we need to know what trailer and floorplan you have.

We need pictures :) Having modified the under-bed storage several time on our Landmark, I can tell you why the hydraulic unit is not mounted under the slide. It is simple the is no room. most of the "contraption" is mounted over the overhang part of the fifth or close to it, and mounting it...

two thoughts: Back almost 10 years ago when I was working at a 4wd shop, we had a customer two in a Suzuki Samurai, that he had forgot to put in netural, he towed it about 50 miles in first gear at about 55mph, I forget the exact math but that ment the the poor little engine was turning almost...

If you need 300' of hose just go buy a roll of 1/2" PEX and crimp on a couple hose ends on it. it might still be more portable than 300' of vinyl hose.

It should be a standard "RV King" and should measure out to be 70" x 80". I found several local mattress makers that could make a custom replacement. Camping world or other large RV store should have replacements too. I cut down the bed frame about 9" and replaced it with a very nice Queen...

After enjoying full-timing for over two years, we are now going to be in one place for about 5 years and the climate will make it hard to live in the Landmark through the winter. We want to buy a small house with a yard for our dogs, and must sell the trailer and truck to make it all work. We...

So far it has been VERY windy and cold. The wind was strong enough to rock the trailer noticeably even with the strong-arms locked in. It might take a few months to get used to the absence of trees and water. I am going back to school to get a PharmD degree so in a few more years ya'll can...

We are now officially in Laramie, WY. We hated to leave Gig Harbor, WA, but in the end it will cost so much less for me to get another degree here in WY than in WA. We stayed in Heyburn, ID one night and stayed next to a Big Country that was skirted. We did not get a chance to make contact with...

I would think you want the valve stem facing up, that way the valve is protected from road debris. Why does the slide have to be retracted to lower the spare?

Mark and Kristy, So sorry to hear of your loss. Molly, Baxter, Sandy an I all enjoyed meeting her in OR last year.
