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.

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...

Looks great !

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...

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...

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...

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...

Ha, Funny, That's the model my wife and i like ! Lets do a group buy !

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...

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

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

Tmichaels. Welcome and can say as a Caliber 26rlss owner you will love your purchase. As for the mileage, sorry but i try not to keep track as ignorance is bliss sometimes. I will say your 9-11mpg estimate seems fair though. There must be some gain to the mpg's for trailers with caps but not...

Re: ATF: North Trail - Soft spot in kitchen floor Yes ! I haven't needed to contact Heartland directly for anything but stories like this sure make me feel good/proud to have purchased a Heartland product. IMHO this is how company's create brand loyalty, specifically with those of us that...

Hey that looks great ! Something to for sure add to my list of future mods.

Thanks wcb. I am saving your pics and info as it will be very helpful. Also, love the switch for the outside light as i agree the remote only control sucks. Thanks again !

Make sure you have a tow-haul shift, tranny cooler, and 3.92 gearing. You need these. You will be fine, once you enjoy a season or two you will upgrade to a truck with a Hemi.

Change bathroom heat vent to a damper-style Too hot in bathroom. Great idea Added heat vent in kitchen. Too cool in main living area. Great idea Return air filter assembly. Purify air, and decrease heater noise. Not sure what you've done here Splash guards on tub. Very interested in what you...

I had some dealers suggest a cap can add 300 to 600lbs depending on brand and model. I feel the Heartland CE cap is on the smaller side so probably on the lighter side of that range. As for the bumper slide carrier I'd guess at 150lbs. I have no real reliable source for this info though.

Actually i was jumping to conclusions as the pic in your avatar/sig looked like a white body colour. Interesting the differences and shows how the model changed mid year which leaves me wondering if a white CE is a 2012. My dealer commented the CE 26RLSS coming in now don't have my options. Not...

Ha Ha! i'm not sure if Heartland knew what they were doing in 2011. When i purchase my dealer was sometimes referring to my trailer as a 2011,then 2011.5 then 2012. i changed my signature text today from 2012 to 2011 but i think really 2011.5 is best representative of the features, but really...

I look forward to the Pics as well and am interested in the solar install. Great looking rig and scenery. Like RuralPastor we all have the same trailer,i find it interesting your window sizes (rear side,bed room) are different in the same model year. Yours look larger, you got lucky ! Looking...

I bought the Caliber for the upgrades and the cosmetic's of the cap. I'm sure there is some advantage to the cap but question any big gain in aerodynamics or reduced leaking. However car companies will smooth out designs and claim huge drag gains in the wind tunnel with far less change than cap...

Unless i have missed it, Heartland hasn't fallen over it's self addressing the silly NOAA warning issue. I followed that thread for some time waiting for someone at Heartland to comment and let us know of the easiest fix, or at least announcing a change for future models. Marge i've also been...

Congratulations ! Post some pics when you get it.

Getting ready for a mid week exit for our month long camping trip to the Outer Banks of NC. So upon loading and doing a pre trip inspection i spent some time under my trailer and could not believe the amount of rust on the frame and any metal components,rust is permeating the paint and flaking...

Re: ATF: North Trail - Do i require slide locks Mcreech. Thanks again! As i have heard some slide leaking issues form the lack of locks not being used i wanted to be sure of the Heartland slide style. Thanks to you all again as well.

Re: ATF: North Trail - Do i require slide locks I thank you all for your thoughts but i thought this was where i would be able to get the factory's stance on slide locks. I posted this question in the general area and was directed here. Where is the factory dudes and dudetts ?

I have been talking with some RVer's that require slide locks on there trailers while traveling. Saw a thread discussing this on Trailer Life forum. Due to a long up coming trip am wondering, do the North Trail TTs require slide locks. What is my slide mechanism called, will they help the...

Thanks for your thoughts all ! Is this the right section to hear a factory stance or opinion. http://www.trailerlife.com/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/25126256.cfm

Hey all ! Was reading a thread on Trailer life forums about trailer locks to keep the slide in place while towing. What type of slide mechanism do the North Trails have, and how do i lock them? Apparently by locking it will help decrease potential leaks from the slide seals breaking down. Is...

Invizatu How did you enjoy Mustang Island ? It is on our to visit soon list.

Thanks all ! i pulled the battery out and charged it back up.Good to know the shore power will do the same.Very useful thought was the overnight travel 7 pin note as that would not be fun. I will find a switch/disconnect and install it with the recharged battery.

So... are you suggesting three weeks is not enough time to drain the battery? I thought the microwave display and the co detector and some similar devices might be enough to kill it. Are you thinking i might have another issue if it's dead after 3 weeks?

Ok, so i guess i pulled a rookie mistake. Put the trailer in storage, about three weeks now. Checked it today and the battery is dead. I checked that all was off but realized now i did not unplug the microwave. What should i be doing? Is there and easy way (at the panel) to turn everything...

Hi Mcreech, and all at the Heartland Forum Feeling guilty as to my tardy response,sorry. Thank you for encouraging me to reestablish contact with Morry’s RV in Walkerton Ont. Morry’s and i did get a deal done and my experience there especially with sales contact Paul Pereria was stellar. We are...

I guess when everything is so new it keeps things that much more exciting. Have fun !
