    WOW! Have I been gone that long?

    I didn't realize how long it had been since visiting this great forum ..... not until I signed on and didn't recognize anything! I guess things have been going well for me because I haven't had to come here for help. Not until now! I have been busy with work and life in general but YES, I do...

    Microwave tripping breaker after a minute or so of use .....

    Solution: My son came by and took the circuit breaker out ...Yep ... loose wire! He also told me that if the breaker was getting warm/hot that the chances of it being a loose wire were pretty good and that is what was wrong. The breaker actually came right off without unscrewing the screw...

    Microwave tripping breaker after a minute or so of use .....

    I'm going to have my son who is an AC (Heat/Air Cond) installer come by and take a look at the electrical per your instructions since he deals with that type thing all the time. Do those individual breakers come out inside the breaker panel box to be replaced? If I need to get supplies like a...

    Microwave tripping breaker after a minute or so of use .....

    Charlie, I am plugged into a 50 amp ... been here over a year with no problem. I am actually sitting on a piece of property with my own RV site on it. Nothing else running at all. When the breaker trips, I can smell the melting plastic smell. The microwave is definately UNPLUGGED until I have...

    Microwave tripping breaker after a minute or so of use .....

    Hey everyone! Haven't posted in along time ... I guess that means things have been great with my replacement GC after the "flood", for those that know what I'm referring to! Anyway, got a problem! This just started and I'm not an electrician, of course, so .... when I use my micro longer...

    Air Conditioner Issues

    After 3 years in my Landmark and just going through temps of over 100 degrees with heat index at 110, I have learned to run my fan on high all day and let the compressor kick on and off as needed to keep the air flowing. I was able to keep my Grand Canyon at 72-75 degrees consistantly, in the...

    Any 2010 Grand Canyon owners out there?

    oops, John .... didn't see your post until after I had written mine! Thanks for all that information! I was more worried about fitting a coffee maker UNDER the cabinet opposite the stove. It just looks like a small space between the counter and the bottom of that cabinet in the pictures! I...

    Any 2010 Grand Canyon owners out there?

    Thanks for the descriptions Jim ... I've been starring at the pics on the website everyday, trying to imagine how and where I will put things as I transfer from the old style to the new one. I really hate to see the "Classic Grand Canyon" go but the risk of mold and such is too great and the...

    Any 2010 Grand Canyon owners out there?

    Sounds great Superduty! I know what to expect on the quality of the fit/finish, etc... but would really like to know what to expect on those new items since I will be literally moving my stuff from one unit into another when the time finally comes. I am also curious about the actual space that...

    Any 2010 Grand Canyon owners out there?

    I posted a little UPDATE message in the GENERAL Landmark forum ... have not finalized the settlement yet, but I am trying to get everything lined out so I can let them know what I want and expect!

    Any 2010 Grand Canyon owners out there?

    Being the only one in my unit now, I barely fill the frig I have .... so I definately don't need the big one, although it sure looks nice! As far as the "wardrobe" area in the hallway .... is that for hanging or is it shelves? DWH ...How long did it take from the time you ordered until it was...

    Any 2010 Grand Canyon owners out there?

    I would really like to hear from anyone on the forum who has a 2010 GC ... especially if they have had the original GC in the past like I have now! I noticed alot of Augusta owners and like the unit but seem to be drawn to the GC every time, liking the wide hallway, bed nightstand and larger...

    Window valance swapping?

    Since I am fulltime in my 07 Grand Canyon, of course I have decorated and matched the valances and had a custom Lazy-z-boy recliner made, etc... My question is: if and when I get a new unit, can I assume that the windows are the same size and would I be able to swap my Mohave Desert valances...

    HI! I'm back! Need ADVICE in the worst way!

    I'm in the Shreveport/Bossier City area .... lots of places to eat and things to do for visitors! Give me a holler! "The Boardwalk" on the Riverfront in Bossier City is the newest "hot spot" for shopping, eating, etc .... and we have riverboat casinos too, if you are into a little gambling and...

    HI! I'm back! Need ADVICE in the worst way!

    FYI ... Insurance is through Explorer Insurance Agency and the insurance company is National Interstate Insurance. I have no doubt they will do the right thing. I have had this fulltimer coverage with 100% replacement for the first 5 years with a NEW RV comparable at todays price and it also has...

    HI! I'm back! Need ADVICE in the worst way!

    UPDATE: The "adjuster" showed up ... holy cow! I'm not sure I want to put in writing right now what came out of his mouth but he obviously didn't know too much about fifth wheels! He was pretty "down to earth" though and showed me the letter that his office was faxed from the insurance company...

    HI! I'm back! Need ADVICE in the worst way!

    Still waiting for the adjuster but here is something new going on .... I was in brushing my teeth and the LP alarm went off. I had never heard it before so it startled me and it's located to the left of the stairs right off the floor where the water creeped up the wall. Checked everything and...

    HI! I'm back! Need ADVICE in the worst way!

    Thanks for all the replies ... I am waiting for the adjuster as I type this. To answer some of the questions asked ... the hose slid off where it was clamped and my son put a small automotive clamp (one with the screw on it) back on. I am grateful that I had the sliding tray underneath as all...

    HI! I'm back! Need ADVICE in the worst way!

    Thanks ... I'm just sick over this and although getting a new Landmark would be nice, I have noticed that the units have changed and after getting mine just how I want it ... bugs worked out, fixed, etc.... the thought of having to go through all that again doesn't thrill me but I am hoping that...

    HI! I'm back! Need ADVICE in the worst way!

    Hi everyone ... been awhile and everything has been great with the 07 Grand Canyon .... until yesterday, when I got home and heard and saw what looked like Niagra Falls coming out the bottom of the entire coach!!!!!! I'll make the heartstopping, tear shedding story short and get to the point...

    I need to know how big of a generator in wattage I need to handle my Grand Canyon without going overboard ... and with that said, what brand would be the best bang for the buck? How's that?

    Portable Generator advice

    I'd like to keep it between 800 -$1000 and that is because I know that what I am looking at is going to cost that. I need to know what the difference, if any, there is between the 6200 watt and the 8000 watt as far as my needs go. Am I going to need an 8000W or is that overkill? I have some...

    I have been in the market to purchase a large portableemergency generator ... one that would run the unit with no problem.

    Battery upgrade?

    Is there a difference between "golf cart" batteries vs other types? For some reason I thought at one time I was thinking "marine" batteries????? Do I go to a battery place and get these or is there a specific place that you would go to get them other than that? I am trying to educate myself...

    Battery upgrade?

    There are a few things I want to change/upgrade and the battery is one of them. I have the original battery my 07 Grand Canyon came with and I want to get another one or upgrade to two new ones ... in other words, probably replace what I have and get the most battery power I can for those short...

    A/C duct problem found

    It's like feeling bad and knowing something is wrong but the Dr's telling you they can't find anything!:rolleyes: You either convince yourself it's all in your mind because of how folks start looking at you funny or, you finally find something that justifies what you have been trying to tell...

    Maiden Camping Trip

    Congrats on your successful trip! I also use the metal fold up pen and it's great. I only have a 5 pounder, if that .... so she doesn't need much but gives her all the little play room she needs. I got mine at Petco, through the internet, delivered to my doorstep.
