    Towing with a Tacoma

    I had that exact setup with a 2012 Edge and Tacoma DC 4X4 V6 with tow package. Great truck, towed with plenty of power, but had a few issues on windy days at turnpike speeds and when passing/being passed by tractor trailers. If you are aware of this and can avoid the situations, that...

    Heartland Friends Forever

    Our Heartland Edge became a S.O.B. a couple of years ago and we did our last Heartland Rally in Verona, NY where we sadly said goodby to our Heartland friends. This past weekend, we camped at a small Vermont campground where we Wagon mastered the 1st Vermont Heartland Rally. There was a new...

    Advantage of heat pump vs. propane in a travel trailer?

    We had a heat pump in a prior trailer. It worked great and used campground electricity but would only work with an outside temperature of 40 degrees and above.

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: NY, Bath - 10/10/2014 to 10/12/2014

    Wow, how time flies. We still have a bottle of Bully Hill wine from the last Bath Rally. Bath, NY is a beautiful place at that time of year and the wine tours are surely a good time--enjoy folks.

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: NY, Verona - 7/19/2013 to 7/21/2013

    Once again we learned something new while having a great time at a Heartland Rally. We learned a couple of new words--"Keno Coupons". Thanks again to Greg & Beth and all the Heartlanders that helped us make our "Transition Rally" a memorable one. It's been a great ride folks and Heartland...

    Weber Q Grill Question

    Yes, I removed the regulator from my Weber Q100 and use a 4 foot line with a quick disconnect directly into my low pressure supply from the trailer. Works super and eliminates those small nuisance bottles.

    North Trail King 26LRSS Caliber Edition

    Thanks for your response. Your comments about the Edge are spot on. One question though--how about the windows? We love the European window design in the Edge, especially the awning type opening during the rain and the lack of blinds, etc. Are the Caliber windows awning style and how do you...

    North Trail King 26LRSS Caliber Edition

    Our local dealer has received a new 26LRSS Caliber Edition and we have an appointment early next week to check it out. We also attended an RV show today and got to view some non-Heartland products but have not seen anything yet that we would trade our Edge for. We're really looking forward to...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: PA, Pine Grove - 9/13/2013 to 9/15/2013

    Carol and I would like to attend this rally but would like to wait until Spring to reserve a site. If space is limited, we could reserve now but would rather wait until snow melts to make our 2013 rally schedule plans--just in case something crazy happens this Winter. Is this OK?

    North Trail King 26LRSS Caliber Edition

    We are in the beginning stages of shopping for a relatively lightweight travel trailer and like the floor plan on the referenced North Trail. We haven't seen one yet and probably won't do anything until the PA show next September. However, we're interested in any comments that current North...

    M21 Battery Box

    The plastic battery box is bolted in the 4 corners of the box, through the plywood, and through the angle that's welded to the trailer frame. The original factory setup used 4 self-tapping screws which I replaced with 1/4-20 stainless bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts. That insures that...

    M21 Battery Box

    Here's the simple approach I took to fix the problem: 2 brass hinges, some stainless hardware, and 3/8 plywood for added support. By the way, the original Heartland hardware was all rusted after 18 months and no salt!

    M21 Battery Box

    Has anyone modified the battery box? Ours is located so close to the front of the trailer that the battery needs to be tipped about 80 degrees in order to be installed or removed, allowing battery acid to spil from the battery top. I thought I would slit the 2 sides down the front of the...

    LED Light Bulbs

    Received our LED bulbs Saturday and installed all 10. They were shipped directly from China and all work well. Thanks again for the info. Now I need to find an LED for the range hood.

    Heartland Owners Club

    I belong to 8 clubs (ATV, snowmobile, motorcycle) with Heartland being the only camping club. Heartland is the only club that doesn't require meeting attendance, work parties, fund raisers, raffle tickets, political involvement, etc. etc. to maintain membership. The cost of belonging is more...

    Winterizing M21

    I created a step by step procedure for winterizing my 2012 M21 Edge. Thanks to another member (danemayer), the document was converted from a "Word" format to a PDF format and attached to this post. I just winterized mine for this Winter and found this procedure to be very helpful since I tend...

    LED Light Bulbs

    The heat of the bulb in our M21 range hood has melted through the plastic lens and we're afraid that replacing the plastic lens would become a fire hazard. We've also noticed that the lenses on interior lights are getting excessively hot after the light has been on. This weekend, we attended...

    60A to 30AMP

    This is probably a stupid question, but here goes. I have a 220V/60 AMP welding outlet in my home garage that I'd like to use to power my 30 AMP 2012 Edge trailer. I know that I don't want to send 220V/60 AMPs through the trailer cord but would like to know if there an adapter made to reduce...

    Where's the Quality Control at the Factory

    As great as the Heartland Forum is, it does very little for a company that is seriously interested in producing a quality product. Quality issues can best be documented/analyzed by having personel contact between the manufacturer and their customer base (not just some that are computer based)...

    Edge no longer made. Would you still buy one?

    We have a 2012 M21, that after a bunch of issues, has turned out to be everything we could have wished for. Ours is now out of warrenty and we have already made plans with a non-Heartland dealer to do any future repairs since we have lost faith in our Dealer. We tow the M21 with a Tundra so...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: VT, Pownal - 8/2/2012 to 8/5/2012

    I've got a rather long and weird story to tell about preminition--so here goes. I mow a few lawns a week for our family business and today was work day for me. Like most employees, Monday's thoughts reflect the past weekend's experiences and my thoughts were of the fun we had and the new...
