    Any Other Trail Runner Owners out there?

    Glad to see I'm not the only one disappointed with the fit, finish, and quality control of the "new" Trail Runner. I'm having same problems as JAMATHERN. Aside from the extra space for my son (and the dreaded trips with the mother-in-law :o), I would rather have my 2010 North Country 26fb back...

    30FQBS tongue jack failure - manufacturer name?

    I don't know what you found out, but I had a similar problem in March 2012. After creaking, grinding and sticking while trying to load up to return from Key West to Florence, SC, the tongue jack COLLAPSED (luckily, the truck's hitch was directly under it). Stopped at Camping World in...

    RVing...A rich mans sport?

    While everyone is looking at the financial costs of owning/operating and RV (which, I feel, is comparable or less than "vacationing" at a motel), I look at it from a more personal point of view; the mental and emotional well being of myself and my family! We have a 2004 GMC Yukon 4x4 pulling a...

    Help a newbie with an awning!

    Another question, if you don't mind; is there any way to tighten the fabric on the awning, or should it have just a little "sag" or "give" to it?

    By way of introduction

    Hi guys . . . We are Jerry, Kelly, and Jim from Florence, SC. We recently purchased a 2011 Trail Runner 30fqbs (The Jolly Mon II), and pull with a 2004 GMC Yukon 4x4 (The Tank). Being new to the RV lifestyle, we're learning a lot, quickly, but the most pleasant lesson so far is how friendly...

    Hey, thanks to all of you for the quick responses! I'll be taking a closer look at the track this afternoon, and let you know how it all works out! My wife and I are new to RV'ing, but have experienced nothing but friendly, helpful, and considerate folks at every turn (save for the...

    Help a newbie with an awning!

    Thanks, Jim. I'll give them a call first, but will probably attempt the repair.

    Help a newbie with an awning!

    Recently purchased a 2011 Heartland Trail Runner, and on the second time out, we experienced a quick and unexpected windstorm. The awning partially pulled out of the wall (the fabric appears to have come out of a track) about eight inches from the end. There are no tears or hardware damage...
