TravelTiger, I have a Chevy 2500HD and I'll be below the Chevy's ratings for the 5th wheel I purchased. It's just my wife and I so we don't travel with a lot of extra "stuff". Believe me, we did a lot of searching and math to narrow things down to what would work. Thanks for responding! - - -...

I haven't been here in a long time but when I first bought my 2014 Trail Runner 27RKS, I was here often trying to soak up as much information and knowledge as I could. So today is bittersweet for me. I have to say Happy Trails to the Heartland community. Earlier today, I traded in my Trail...

Lana, the selling point for us was the large counter top with the large storage area underneath it with the tray that pulls out. The big window by the door is also a huge plus. We've done some mods to it but overall we were happy from day one. The mods we did were to change all the C-921 bulbs...

I know John. Since we were new to owning a camper, we believed the dealer when he said "no problem pulling this camper with your Ford". Live and Learn! I agree with you about the Chevy 2500HD. Ours is very similar to yours. 6.0 L gas. It tows the Trail Runner very good!

Lana, yes it is a 27RKS. 2014 model year. When we bought it in November of 2013 we had a Ford F150 with the regular tow package. The dealer installed a Husky weight distribution hitch and one anti sway friction bar. The tow home from the dealer (50 miles) was ok but we were rocked around a...

Well, our first year of camping in our 2014 Trail Runner was fantastic. Although we didn't get to go as often as we would have liked, we sure had fun when we were able to go. Unfortunately, here in the North East, the weather gets pretty darn cold by the time November rolls around so we put our...

We are Trail Runner owners and not having a specific area for us here is exactly why we haven't spent much time on this website. Other RV website's have many more active participants but of course their posts generally don't apply to our camper or situation. Having a Trail runner specific forum...

I have the same problem on my 2014 Trail Runner. While the warranty was still in effect, one side was replaced. Now the other side needs to be replaced. Are there any "How To" articles or videos online that any of you are aware of?

Yesterday, I de-winterized my 2014 Trail Runner for the first time. The weather here has finally gotten to the point that the temperature isn't dipping way below freezing at night and we're going on our first weekender trip in two weeks. Since it had been 5 month's since I bought it, there were...

I'm not sure why anyone would buy an RV with a television or order one with one when you can buy a better television , install it yourself and spend less money. When I bought my Trail Runner it didn't come with a television or wall mount and while discussing this with the dealership owner, he...

Once I plugged in at home (although only 15 amps), the slide works better. Certainly not a speed demon but slides in and out at a reasonable speed.

I had a couple of minor issues with my new 2014 Trail Runner that I sought answers to. 1st, I couldn't locate the CO2 detector and 2nd, I had a switch that wasn't doing anything. I posted those questions on this forum and I was able to find the CO2 detector with the help of those that...

I have Good Sam insurance on my 2014 Trail Runner. Just bought the insurance in February. $298 for the year. Full replacement and up to 3 grand for the contents for the first 5 years. After that, they will pay me what I paid for the trailer. We are seasonal campers. Otherwise the trailer is...

Ok, thanks everyone for the input. I'll check the battery and try the shore power idea too.
