2011 North Trail. We see the error code E1 flashing on the the thermostat. The little book says it can't communicate with the board and the unit will shut down. However, it runs like a champ and cools very well, just has the annoying error code flashing. My wife got it to go away once but...

I fixed the problem temporarily this weekend. I say temporarily because the Heartland dealer only had a slip on handle kit. Slip it over the shaft and tighten a set screw. I don't like that setup but it works. I put some silicone on the shaft and inside the slip on tube then tightened the...

We have a 27RL with probably the same slideout bumper/rack. When we were looking at ours the saleman said the slide bumper would carry 500lbs. I was looking directly at the sticker put on at the factory that said limit is 200lbs. He was a bit embarrased. Looking at the brackets that hold up...

It's been about a month since we took the 27RL out. This time we go to our favorite spot, set up and enjoy 5 days and 4 nights of peaceful camping. When we get ready to pack up I try to dump the grey water.....no handle or rod to pull !!!????? Seems to have come loose and fallen out. The one...

Not sure what you mean by "universal docking center"?? I thought about removing the 5ver rear bumper and making my own carrier for the generator and whatever else I need.

I have a Honda eu3000i generator and wondering how to carry it. Weighs 134 lbs but I do have a wheel kit. Because of the 5th wheel there is no way to put it in the rear of the pickup bed and very difficult to get it in front of the 5th wheel hitch. I don't trust the slide out rear bumper on...

I could never get the alert turned off and the dealer told me there is no way. He installs toggle switches for about $80. I installed my own toggle for $4.00 and 20 minutes time. Works great.

I just installed a toggle switch that cuts the power to the stereo. Even the dealer told me there is no way turn off NOAA. He said they would put in a toggle for me for about $80. I went to Pep Boys and bought the switch for $4.00 and installed it myself. You remove the radio, run the power...

We now have our third Touch Audio in less than 2 months. This one seems to work somewhat now although when we first got it back it had limited functions. The touch screen was not working all the time and the radio would not stay on a station, jumped around from station to station. The NOAA...

Well, we got our North Trail back from the dealer after the issue with the stereo and the landing gear. Seems the dealer forgot to hook up a couple of wires on the in-bed plug they installed so the TV was not recharging the battery or supplying juice to the 5er system. Now the landing gear...

We have had our North Trail 29RL for a month. When we first got it they replaced the stereo because the touch screen would not work. Now it is back in the shop because the touch screen does not work on the new one. Remote works but that has limited features.

One month ago we picked up our 2011 North Trail 29RL 5er. Love the floor plan. Wife has to get used to the lack of inside storage compared to our old TT. This one tows much easier even though it is 2K lbs heavier than the old one. Our first time out was ok...not great. When we got to the...
