We left Chatham, IL from the Illinois rally this morning and arrived late this afternoon at the new KOA in Waterloo, IA. We’re in site 7, a nice pull-through. We did not unhook the truck for this quick overnight. We’re heading to MN and will put into Prior Lake (western Minneapolis suburb) tomorrow afternoon.
Here’s a picture of the rig where we parked during check-in.
LOCATION: River Vista RV Resort – Dillard, GA ITEM: RV Project (Water Filtration System) While here for the Georgia Chapter Heartland Owners Club Rally, I completed another project on the new RV (2014 Landmark Savannah).

It’s a direct replacement lock for many entrance doors. The RV Lock can be operated with keys (2 included), Handheld Fobs (1 included) and a…
This afternoon, my friend David G and I installed a Low Profile External Cellular Antenna on the RV. This antenna will be used with the Novatel 4620LE Cellular Modem to improve cellular data performance. The antenna is an LPMM-7-27. It has two 3G/4G cellular antennas in a single package. The antenna was obtained from wpsantennas.com,…
This evening, I installed the Nest Protect Smoke and CO detector in the RV. This has been on my list for a while and finally got it ordered and done. This is one of many tech items now installed in the coach. I installed the Protect in place of the OEM smoke detector.

Smartthings is a cloud connected service that allows you to use a local hub to monitor and sensors to monitor, communicate with and control everyday items in your home, office, Â RV etc..

Do you put the front legs down when you don’t unhook? Didn’t know with the Level Up system
Jim – yes I do. Here’s what I do:
1. Turn LevelUp power ON
2. Press DOWN until I see MANUAL – then press ENTER
3. Hold the REAR button until the rear jacks (all 4) are on the ground and some weight is taken off the coach
4. Hold the FRONT button until the front jacks are on the ground
If the coach is really off level front-to-back or side-to-side, I may use the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to tweak it a bit. What you don’t want to do is twist the frame or raise the 5th wheel hitch such that it starts to stress it.
Jim, if you push the up button, Manual is the first setting. A lot quicker than pushing the down button over and over.
