I'm not here to bash Heartland but after three years of problems we decided it was time to sell and move on. In April of 2011 we purchased a North Trail 32BUDS. Within the first couple of weeks we started having problems. The worst of the problems was the main slide quit working. The dealer had...

We bought our North Trail April 2010 and had a number of problems. Fortunately Heartland customer service and our dealer were great to work with. Our unit was in about 4 times through that first year. Since everything was fixed we have not had any problems. We use our trailer often and go South...

Being a career firefighter for over 30 years and part of that close knit brotherhood, I know the care and support the families of those that went down will be given although nothing replaces those that just gave their lives while trying to perform their selfless job. God Bless the families...

We have a 2011 32BUDS and love it. We bought it in April 2010 and had our share of problems but everything was fixed and it's been a great trailer. We definatly would go with Heartland again when we decide to get another RV. We have 9 grandchildren and camp constantly with them. We pull it...

We bought our 2002 3500 Chevy dully new and use it constantly. I was still working the first two years I had it and parked it in a parking lot. Now we use it all the time and think nothing of it. We do like parking it out a bit in a parking lot just to keep anyone from door dinging it. The more...

Welcome. Hope you enjoy your Heartland as much as we do. We too are from Olympia and now live by Shelton and are proud owners of a North Trail. We enjoyed our first Washington Rally in 2011 but were not able to attend the 2012 rally. Might see you at the next one.

Lisa, This is our 5th new RV and with each we put the original in a storage bag. Then we bought standard sheets, blankets, and bedspread of our choice. We always kept the original bed covering so we can put them back on when we sold or traded in our units, that way it all looks original.

I did find a Jensen radio, DVD, CD etc. player that looks to be about the same size. The only thing I'm not sure of is if the wire harness would work. I guess I need to call Jensen. It looks like a good replacement if it works. The other factor is it runs in the 300 dollar range.

I have a 32BUDS, has anyone found another unit that will fit in the hole and replace the touch unit? After 2 years mine will not play DVD's and the touch portion will not work at all, only the remote.

I've been on the forum since April 2010. I've seen a lot of post about the touch DVD player, many people very unhappy with them. I have a 32 BUDS and ours has worked part of the time. Now it will not play a DVD. Has anyone found a good DVD player that will fit in the small area that the touch...

My 32BUDS has fuses and breakers, did you check all of the fuses? Good Luck

I bought the same cover as Marge. It just went through it's second winter and with all of the rain, ice storm and wind it has held up really well. The trailer seems nice and dry under the cover. The only thing I found is it's good to pad the back top corners so it will not rip the fabric.

I have a 32BUDS and I pull with a 1 ton duramax. Most of the time I almost forget it's back there until it comes to mountain passes. The truck is definitely doing it's job, I'd hate to have anything less than a 3/4 ton. We were in 40 mph steady winds today with gust to who knows what, was sure...

When I changed trailers I had the dealer do the truck and trailer measurements. The bracket that the hitch pins go into had to be changed in height by two hole to make it correct. So when changing truck or trailer it's a good idea to check for correct installation.

I'm into my third year with equil-i-zer and have not seen any bend with the hitch pins. If your not adjusted correctly and there isn't enough tension the main tension bars may be able to hit the pin hard when turning. Cannot see anything else that would bent them.
