2018 Landmark 365
​Newport, by Heartland

Picture
 Heartland's Landmark 365 is the 2018 leading luxury fifth wheel.
The 2018 model year finds Landmark as the leader of the luxury fifth wheel market!   Their product development team has worked smarter and harder this year to include some incredible features.  Featuring power bed lifts, three standard AC units, standard full body paint, walk-in closets, hardwood window sills and frames, zoned multi-plex lighting systems, and a full 2yr or 3yr full timers’ warranty.  Landmark is built for form and function, with style and substance to fulfill your RV’ing lifestyle desires
.
In November of 2017 we worked diligently with an RV dealer in Texas drawing up specifications for a factory ordered fifth-wheel. This being our second fifth-wheel to own, we had put together quite a shopping list of items we wanted to have built into the unit.

To our amazement, just about everything we were looking for in our new home was standard equipment on the Landmark Newport model. We did have a few items installed by the dealer before we took delivery, such as the Splendide stackable Washer and Dryer; the Gerard On-Demand hot water system; a whole-house water softener and dual, 40-lb propane tanks.

We plan to use this for quite a long while as we full-time across the country, so we had all the "bells and whistles" installed for comfort and luxury. We couldn't be happier with our rig.

2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty Truck, King Ranch

Most Capable Full-Size Pickup in America.
The heavy-duty pickup you’ll want on your work crew is the Ford Super Duty®. Check out these specs: best-in-class 7,630-lb. maximum payload and 21,000-lb. conventional tow ratings — plus a gross combination weight rating of 42,800 lbs. that’s also best-in-class.* Super Duty delivers exceptional capability as well for towing the really big loads, with either its maximum 27,500-lb. 5th-wheel or best-in-class 34,000-lb. gooseneck tow rating.*
In November of 2017, at the same time we were specking out our new fifth-wheel, we were also building a new truck to pull the 18,000-lb trailer.

​Choosing a Ford Super Duty was really a no-brainier for us. Capable of pulling a fifth-wheel up to 27,500-lbs, this truck should serve us well long into the future. And for those wondering, yes, we had every "bell and whistle" included on this unit, everything except the snow-plow!
