    Awning and mold problem

    Has anyone had a problem with mold on their awning? The underside of our awning is almost completely covered with mold. When we had the unit in for service I asked the dealer to clean it as we do not have the capability to clean it ourselves where we store the unit. They told me that the mold...

    Baking food in the oven

    Our oven runs 50 degrees cooler than what the knob is set on. I think the pizza stone is a great idea for getting more consistent heating. However, we do most of our cooking in a Ninja Cooker as I'd rather use the park's electricity that I'm paying for than my propane. :D Either that or the...

    F150 and my 30RKDD

    It will work, however depending on where you have to tow it, it might not work very well. I have a 2011 26LRSS and had a 2011 5.0L 4x4 F150 Crew Cab, and towing the 26LRSS was a nightmare. Yes it would pull it, but it was very dicey whenever pulling up any type of grade. Also, the backend...

    Heartland North Trail NO antenna?

    I have a 2011 NT 26LRSS with Touch Audio. We didn't have the coiled up antenna behind the unit like many others have mentioned. We actually have a whip style antenna on the roof of the unit that is attached to the Touch Audio unit. When we first bought the unit we didn't have any reception...

    New to RV's and Towing!

    I had the same problem with my 2011 F150 4x4 Crew cab whenever I was driving up a grade pulling my 26LRSS. Since I plan on upgrading to a 5th wheel in the next few years I took the plunge and traded the F150 for a RAM 3500 DRW. This is serious overkill pulling the 26LRSS, but I can tell you I...

    Torque 291 what truck

    My 2011 F150 5.0L 4x4 Crew cab was struggling on grades pulling a 26LRSS, and that's a light weight TT. I just traded it in for a 2012 RAM 3500 6.7L Cummins 4x4 DRW Crew Cab and the difference is amazing.

    Favorite dealers for RV Purchase and Service

    Don't know how close you are, but Leo's on Rt. 3 in Gambrills, MD has always treated me great. Bought my 26LRSS from them last year. Last week we bought a new TV and needed to have our hitch flipped because it was too high with the new vehicle. I took it in on Saturday, with no appointment...

    Tow vehicle for Heartland North Trail 31RLSS?

    Re: Heartland North Trail 31RLSS I have a 2011 26RLSS and up until yesterday I towed it with a 5.0L F150 Crew cab. However, the truck really struggled when pulling up any type of grade. So, this past weekend we traded up to a 2011 RAM 3500 BigHorn. I suspect I can now pull pretty much...

    ATF: North Trail - Ladder on North Trail 26 LRSS

    I use a collapsible extension ladder as well. The one I have folds up so that it is only 4', and extends to 16'. Makes more sense to me as I can use it around the house as well when I need too.

    ATF: North Trail - 30RKDD - location of remote control brain?

    Don't know about your model, but on my 2011 26LRSS it is located under the bottom kitchen drawer.

    Winterizing City Water

    Yeah that's pretty much how I do it. Its not really a big deal, I was just wondering it just seems like an odd location, but I see your point. I do love the high clearance on the 26LRSS though.

    Concealed carry permits

    I have a Utah non-resident CCW permit. Being a Maryland resident., it was either that or Florida and Utah was the better option for me. I still can't CC in Maryland, and the Utah permit is not recognized in all states, but it's better than nothing. It's really a shame. I spend 20+ years in...

    Water Filters - Why not to keep them inside...

    I always connect a water regulator in line before anything else. Just like with the electric you never know what the water pressure is going to be. And usually, if it's high you won't find out until something ruptures.

    Winterizing City Water

    I just winterized my 26LRSS as well. It needed 3 gallons of antifreeze when I was only expecting to need 2. Good thing I bought an extra. Also, I posted this in the Design Ideas Discussion area, but any idea why Heartland would put the low point valves right behind the wheels? I had a devil...
