    Heartland northtrail 25 ft rl

    Would love to hear your baggage door remedy. Two years ago had repeated leaks so bad water would enter the bed room, this year nothing, although we had very little rain while away this year . I have been using the gutter extensions for some time.

    ATF: North Trail - Door closer is loosening

    I had this problem as well. I camp always in extreme wind as i'm into wind sports. I felt the design with what the screws had to tap into would lead to this problem reoccurring. My solution was to drill right through the door, caulk, and insert bolts right through with largish washers preventing...

    Heartlands comitment to Caliber edition

    Was waiting for your thoughts :) I agree, as we still love our trailer too. True it is about money and what sells, and we will never know what are the losers. This is why i started the thread as i wanted to see if others though as me, or how much demand could be seen. When traveling i need my...

    Heartlands comitment to Caliber edition

    Tmicheals We have the cabinet door for the bathroom vanity base cabinet, as well as the center one over the bed and slide/switch cover. What are the Azdel composite exterior panels ? Not sure we got those. Does everyone have the frame-less windows ? The Calibers at the show didn't if i remember...

    Heartlands comitment to Caliber edition

    mjd2k - Tmichaels Bought ours in March 2011 along side another couple who were buying a 2011 Caliber 26RLSS. Theirs was painted Gray as i though ours would be, till they pulled our white one out and parked it next to theirs. A complicated conversation evolved between both couples and the dealer...

    Heartlands comitment to Caliber edition

    I think/hope our trailer has got a number of years left in it. It's just my wife and i so we aren't to hard on it. Basically it's used for the summer months in Hatteras NC. as my wife is a teacher and i shut down my business for a month and a half. We are into Windsurfing and kite-surfing so...

    Heartlands comitment to Caliber edition

    Yes i did notice the Sundance TTs they do look interesting, limited to larger sizes though. A quick google search however didn't prove much (TT) availability and dealer network. Here again however it appears everything is based on options. Seems duplication is rampant, so many brands with no...

    Roof Vent Left Open by Dealer

    Glade to hear the dealer has stepped up. Unfortunately that's unusual.

    Heartlands comitment to Caliber edition

    Fishing for thoughts here on the Caliber Edition brand. I was at our local (Toronto, Can.) Rv show recently and saw little that would entice me to make a Heartland purchase. Obviously local Heartland dealers cannot bring everything out but i also feel the product doesn't stand out the way it...

    Uncomfortable tow

    Re: Uncomfotable tow I'm not suggesting you go anywhere like this, but have you tried a trial pull with nothing other than being balled on ? It might give you some different feel/feedback that you can build on. Just a thought.

    Uncomfortable tow

    Re: Uncomfotable tow goducks. Sorry to hear the problem has persisted. I have to believe there is something different or miss-installed in/with the trailer. As i'm sure you'll remember we have the same trailer/model and i pull with a Ram 1500 with no problem. I actually have very little sway...

    North Trail & Caliber TT owners: What persuaded you to purchase?

    Don't forget RuralPastor, WCB, and there are others. I do know what you mean as the BUDS floor-plan seems pretty popular, i think we might be #2 though. I actually was thinking of starting an anything about LRSS thread, what do you think ? Speaking of sweet spots and the like, i was thinking...

    North Trail & Caliber TT owners: What persuaded you to purchase?

    Berky. Your last statement sums up my thoughts and reasons exactly "While other brands might have some comparable features, we felt that no other brought it all together like North Trail". The cap was a biggie for me as it was not as excessive (unnecessarily heavy) as the...
