Love my Beretta Nano! It shoots well with 147gr with minimal recoil. I also have hand pain issues and can rack it easily. Also just bought a Kimber Pro Carry II that shoots well and is easy to rack. Diane

Thank you Jim! Diane

We have been considering a larger TT and have decided to purchase an Open Range. We have enjoyed our North Trail and this forum has been a good learning experience and a lot of fun. We did not want to go to a fifth wheel and could not find any Heartland products near us that had the layout we...

Congratulations on the new truck! You will have to look in the rearview mirror to be sure you have the trailer with you. We had the same experience moving from the F 150 to the F 250 diesel. Diane

UPDATE on the Kumho Tires we had installed before vacation. The trip was from MD to VA to NC to VA and back to MD using Interstate 81 for most of the travel while towing. The Kumho tires performed exactly as we had hoped in that we felt comfortable towing a steady 65 and hitting 70 when passing...

Geez, I meant to say we should stay OUT of western NC. Guess I should learn to type better. Diane

The AC is a Coleman unit and for the second year has broken at the end of vacation. When it was turned on at the final destination Friday, there was an ominous clunking sound. This happened last year and was a capacitor issue and was repaired. I think it is time to replace the unit. The...

Welcome! We really like our North Trail. You may want to videotape the PDI as you won't remember everything that is said.

We are on vacation in Asheville, NC, and Marshall noticed that the fresh water tank was hanging low and close to ripping the cloroplast. Called a mobile tech who came out within 45 minutes to assess the situation. We took the camper to his location and the tank is in place with better screws and...

We did go with the Kumho tires that were installed om July 3. The tires are radials and were balanced and the trailer seems to ride more smoothly than with the original Duro tires. We leave for Asheville, NC, on July 19, so this will be the real test of the new tires. Plans are to tow at maximum...

I hope you don't really think we will tow at 99 mph. LOL Tow speed for us is normally under 65 mph although our truck could make that trailer fly. Regarding the Kumho tires, there are folks on RV Net Forum who have had good luck with the Kumho trailer tires. Choices for us were Maxxis or...

Our trailer came with Duro tires and are being replaced as they are four years old and aging. After much discussion and research, we are going with Kumho tires with load range D. They are rated for 99 mph. The tires are being shipped motor freight and will be here Monday. Vacation is mid July to...

Re: Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnell Tractor trailers use it all the time. The view from the bridge is spectacular. There is a great parking area with restrooms on the Eastern Shore side of the tunnel. We stop there to turn off the propane on the way south and then to turn it back on going north...

We learned our lessons on sailboats and had two 24 footers and two 28 footers and now a 32 footer. Should have just gone from the first 24 footer to the 32 footer. These are expensive lessons so taking your time and using your current rig will give you the opportunity to discover what you really...

Our 24RBS was bought new and sight unseen as the locAL dealer did not have one in stock. We have owned it four years and have had mostly minor issues that were promptly fixed by the dealer. The one major issue happened on vacation last July when the shower drain separated. We were lucky enough...
