    Is it legal to have pets in the TT while moving?

    Sounds like an "I don't know, but not a good idea for the sake of the animals" kind of responses. And maybe so...... Aside from comfort/anxiety issues, there are always safety issues I guess. We have a black Lab that can sleep in a hurricane. Probably depends on the particular animal. But to...

    Is it legal to have pets in the TT while moving?

    We will have 3 adults and 2 dogs while travelling 15,000 miles or so. For the sake of a bit more room in the truck, we thought we would have the dogs in the trailer now and then while on the road. I'm pretty sure that it is illegal to have a human back there, but what about a pet?

    RV Acronyms

    Thanks SNOKING. Makes sense. I guess the 'ole brain ain't what it used to be.

    RV Acronyms

    Some of the acronyms used to describe a travel trailer are obvious in their translations. I have a Heartland Wilderness WD 2750RL, and I know that the RL means Rear Living, but what does WD mean? Anyone know?

    On Haida Gwaii

    We will be leaving in August for Vancouver Island to pick up our Wilderness 2750RL, and from there we will begin our 'round North America odyssey. We plan to see every province in Canada, and then hope to beat the snow to Florida. From there we will cruise the Gulf Coast to Texas, then head...

    Pressure Reducing Valve

    Looks good to me, too. I like the idea of the built in gauge on the low side. I'll probably source one.

    Tire info

    I don't know what brand of tire I have on my new (to me) Wilderness 2750RL, and it is 1000 miles from here, so I can't just go out and check. When we bought the trailer, the tires looked almost brand new. Having said that, I am wondering what kind of useful life can be expected from most brands...

    Pressure Reducing Valve

    Thanks danemayer. I didn't see that. Mind you, my wife would say that I didn't have my "girlie" eyes on. :-)

    Pressure Reducing Valve

    Thanks guys. I am quite familiar with Municipal systems, but not with RV stuff. I wouldn't want to blow something up for sure. Thanks again.

    Pressure Reducing Valve

    For those who use a PRV on your water system, what do you set the pressure at? Do use the setting that came with the valve? I am familiar with the local RV sites, and I really have not used one. We are setting out on a 3+ month trek, and I guess I'd better be safe rather than sorry and use one...

    2013 2750RL Fresh Water tank Location

    Can you give me the location of the fresh water tank? I'm wondering if it is forward of the front axle. I'm also wondering about the tank capacity. 35 gallons seems small........ Thanks

    Carrying scooter on rear bumper

    I appreciate your input, guys. A toy hauler sounds great, but it's not in the cards for us right now. Looks like the truck bed is the answer for me since it's a short term situation for this one trip. I'll be pushing the rear axle limit on the Tundra, but it will be close for sure. I already...

    Carrying scooter on rear bumper

    Thanks IronJ. That was my gut feeling. It's for my 83 year old stepdad to get around on, so i'll have to take it one way or the other. I might have to get creative with a ramp to the truck box, I guess. I'll need room to jackknife when he wants it........ I was thinking that it would be easier...

    Carrying scooter on rear bumper

    I would like to carry my 200 pound Ruckus on a 50 pound carrier attached to the rear bumper of my Wilderness 2750RL for an extended trip. Has anyone done this, and if so, were there any issues? Is there a better way? I know that there will be torque applied to the bumper which is attached to...

    Wilderness 2750RL tongue weight

    Thanks, Bob. The reason I posted here is because Heartland would not return my emails, and when I called, I got the run-around a bit. Seems like they can't answer a generic engineering question about their design which is common to all 2750RL's without the VIN# of a specific trailer. No big...

    Just wondering where I can find the US map shown in many signatures. Is there one of Canada as well? FOUND CANADA! ;)

    Wilderness 2750RL tongue weight

    Thanks for your reply. Good advice for sure. I would not be curious so much if I did not have the need to carry a Honda Ruckus on the rear bumper for my upcoming long haul (15,000 miles). I guess the guidelines have not changed for tongue loading in spite of the wider spread. Makes sense that a...

    Wilderness 2750RL tongue weight

    I notice that the dry weight on a 2013 Wilderness 2750RL is 5350 lbs and the tongue weight is given as 475 lbs. Is this correct? I also note that the spread between the trailer axles is noticeably wider than what is usual. Does this fact have an effect on the tongue weight?

    How does sofa fold out to a bed on Wilderness 2750RL

    Hi guys. Thanks for responding to my question. During my brief encounter with the trailer, I did exactly as you suggested JohnD, and the result was not encouraging for sure. What I got was the area of the seat plus the area of the back (laid flat) and the length which is well under 6'. Also...

    How does sofa fold out to a bed on Wilderness 2750RL

    Since I purchased my 2013 Wilderness remotely, I have a few questions that I just can't find out about from 1000 miles away. If someone can help me I would be grateful. I asked Heartland to send the drawings for the unit, but they will not do it for some reason. I want to modify a few things to...
