    Size of the outdoor speakers on the edge m21

    +1. when you replace the speakers, you may have to use a larger screw or new mounting points. Any set of $30 Radio Shack speakers will be better than those OE Jensens.

    Towing an "Edge"

    Nice uninformed post. You have no idea that some vehicle manufacturers advise against use of WDH do you?

    Penguin AC unit extremely loud on Edge M22

    Very loud and sends vibrations throughout the trailer. Bunk beds almost rattle. Very poorly thought out Heartland.

    What am I missing?

    My best guess is that the Edge and MPG were more expensive per unit to manufacture than a similar sized Wilderness, and the market was just not supporting the margins needed by Heartland to build them. It probably holds true that many travel trailer buyers shop by size and price, rather than...

    Towing an "Edge"

    I just read a bunch of reviews on that KIA, and it gets good reviews for handling and power for sure. Nice long wheel base for a SUV. Strange; does the back-end squat down when towing? Our X5 has a shorter wheel base and tows like a freight train w/o any drama alongside semis.

    No longer making Edge!!???

    Maybe margins were too tight on this one? Might have worked for Heartland when dealers could get close to MSRP but when the recession hit, these things were discounted steeply! We love our M22 with full body paint and can't say enough about Heartland backing up their products. Our M22 was...

    If you were curious what your wall construction looks like

    Yeah, we are doing an Easter Egg hunt this coming weekend while camping, and my 3 1/2 year old will probably find more camper bits and pieces than candy!

    If you were curious what your wall construction looks like

    Total thickness is 1 1/16". The fiberglass is 1/16", the wood(?) between fiberglass and foam is 1/16", and the inside wall material is just shy of 1/8".

    Shelving Falls//any ideas?

    More info: After I unscrewed the supports (which were tight against the back of the cabinet, I moved them forward and held them in place in the new location with blue painters tape, checked with a level, made adjustments, and then drilled in the first screw. I did drill small pilot holes but I...

    Shelving Falls//any ideas?

    Sounds like your shelves are sliding forward a bit then falling down, correct? I fixed ours by moving the two supports at the back of the cabinet forward about 6 inches. The shelves can't fall and they are a whole lot more stable. Just go slow with the wood screws and use a screwdriver for...

    If you were curious what your wall construction looks like

    That's funny - No, although it looks like I was up to some mischief, I found this piece under the sink in the wheel well area. Thought it was pretty neat. Here's another view.

    Here's a view of the wall material; the interior is the part on top, foam center, and the thin shell on the bottom. :cool:

    Full body paint option

    Full body paint is indeed paint on all four sides, and the various stripes are all paint. For example, my full body paint unit came with 4 different colors of touch up paint. Heartland seems to have a great paint shop, and I am highly impressed with their paintwork. Notably, heartland puts a...

    Travel Trailer Comparison Shopping

    Check out my threads in the general area about towing the M22. I have a BMW X5 4.4i with air suspension and 6K tow rating. We tow over high mountain passes and the M22 tows extremely well and feels like there's always a good margin of safety. Pickups are not the final word and only answer with...

    Your Grand Cherokee with air suspension should be more than sufficient!! We tow our M22 with a 4.4 BMW x5 which has air sus and it tows stable and fast. I haven't seen tow reports for the 2011 jeep but I'd guess it'll perform well. Have fun!
