Yes, after much confusion and talking with a couple different people, the truck was sold to another customer. Long story, but very frustrating to say the least. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

An update on this truck..... After repeated calls and emails to the salesman, he never called me back. Then yesterday , emailed me to tell me the truck had been sold, and that if everything went through good, they will be taking the truck off the website by the end of the day. I tried to get...

Hello All, I have found a 2007 GMC Sierra 2500HD classic body style with the LBZ Duramax in it. The truck is very clean outside, and has 155,000 miles on it. I would like to go and look at this for my next tow vehicle. First off, I have heard that the LBZ is the most desirable Duramax out...

Well, I think I am going to take a look at the Duramax on Friday. The dealership sent more pictures over, and the truck is just spotless. Can't wait to take it for a drive and see if it drives as good as it looks. And hopefully it looks as good in person as it does in the pictures.

Jim, I currently have a 6.0L gas motor in my truck. I have been keeping my eye out for an 8.1L with the Allison transmission, but those are really hard to find! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks great!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello Everyone, Long time without posting on here, but I have a question for everyone. I currently own a 2007 NBS Silverado 2500HD CCSB with the 6.0L engine. I tow a 2011 North Trail 28BRS, but have plans to go to a 5th wheel in the next year or so. No problems with power in my current truck...

I apologize if this was discussed many times on here, but I did a search and looked through over 25 posts on the Touch Audio System, and could not find what I am looking for. First off, I have had issues with my Touch Audio DVD/AM/FM system since day 1 when i bought my trailer in 2011. Now I...

The first two pictures are at Lakeview Campground in Chilton, WI. The last two are are Harrington Beach State Park in Belgium, WI.

Here is a couple pictures of the trailer from last weekend. Since the colors here in Wisconsin start changing drastically in Sept/Oct, we are using our camper almost every weekend during these two months. To me, Fall is the absolute best time to go camping. Especially here in Wisconsin! - -...

I can replace the bulb on the trailer, but if that was bad, wouldn't it not work all together? It works fine with all the light configurations except the blinker.

I did check the plugs on the truck and trailer looking for corrosion, but found none. All looks good there.

I was not sure where to post this, so I thought I would start here. I was hooking up my camper to the truck today, and my son said that my trailer lights looked "weird". I told him to stand behind the trailer and help me do a light check. I unplugged the trailer from the truck, and then...

My 2007 Silverado 2500HD. I feel weird posting this with a travel trailer! :) Everyone seems to have 5th wheels.

Is anyone out there towing with a Silverado 1500HD? My cousin has a travel trailer with a GVWR of about 7500lbs. He is currently pulling his trailer with a 2003 Silverado 1500 Ext Cab short box. The truck pulls it fine, but his kids are getting older, and he wants to find a crew cab truck...

I have a 2011 North Trail 28BRS and I used to tow it with a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 Ext Cab short box. It had the 5.3L engine with the 3.73 rear end. The truck pulled the trailer OK. Since most of our camping trips are close to home (within a 1/2 hour drive), i wasn't too concerned about it. But my...

I was told during an RV Maintenance 101 seminar that if u go more than 2 weeks between camping, that you should empty the water heater. I had never been doing this, but have been since this seminar. Can't say yet whether it really makes a difference on anything, but I thought I would follow the...

Just wanted to check and see if anyone on here was going to the Green Bay RV Show this weekend? Wagners RV is one of the main supporters of the show and always does a good job showing Heartland product while they are up there. We are going tomorrow afternoon. I invite everyone to come over to...

Current temp here in Wisconsin is about 15 degrees. With the windchill, it brings the temp down to about -3 degrees. And we got about 4-5 inches of snow yesterday as well. :)

I couldn't agree with you more about the suspension on the F150. And this further proves my point about the confusing tow ratings that the manufacturers put on these trucks. I understand that I don't have a diesel engine, and I don't have the 4.10 gears that I probably should...

Joe, the towing capacity came right from my owners manual that is in the glove box! :) The payload capacity I found online. It was right in a spec sheet for the year and model of my exact truck.

I was looking online today and I saw that Heartland is coming out with a Prowler P295. Do you have any pictures of this fifth wheel? Or do you know when the first ones will be delivered to the dealers?

Dave, The 3.5L in the Ford is the Ecoboost engine, if I am not mistaken. I guess I don't know for sure, but the tow capacity of 11,500 on that truck is what he said the dealer told him when he bought it brand new. But this is again where I struggle believing my tow rating of 9800 lbs. If you...

I have always been slightly confused with the seemingly low towing capacity on my truck. I guess the gas motor and the 3.73 gears make it that way, but why does going to a 4.10 gear increase it to12,300 lbs? It just seems like way too big of a difference between them. My co-worker has a 2013...

Everyone, I have been looking at getting into a 5th wheel, and I think I found one that we might be interested in. I just want to know how the weights all work out when you are looking at whether or not your truck can pull a particular trailer. Here is the info on the truck and trailer: Truck...

WEEKENDER Family Camper – school age children Wish we could do more camping during the week, but vacation time and kids schedules often don't let us. Can't wait till my wife and I are retired and we can go camping all the time!

How was the dirt late model racing there in Wheatland? I have always wanted to travel down there and catch a race. Especially when the Lucas Oil Late Model Series comes down for one of their big events.

SJS If you don't mind me asking, what site were you guys in at BayShore Park Campground? I have looked at that campground many times, but wanted to hear from someone first about how it was. Thanks.

Dan, He had asked when they stopped making North Trail 5th wheel trailers.

More of ours at the campground.....

Very nice PriorGuy. Is that a season campsite that you have there?

I couldn't agree more JWalker. I will post more up tonight, but you are more than welcome to post some of yours as well. I don't know how many North Trail 5'ers I have really seen.

Since I haven't posted some pics in a while, I thought I would quick post one of the rig before we were leaving. It had rained all weekend, but yesterday was nice! :) I will try and post some more from this past weekend tonight.

We have a small electric heater in our trailer. This heater will keep our entire trailer heated very easily. We just use the gas to get the trailer up to temp and let the electric heater do the rest. It really saves on gas usage.

Prior, I have the exact same trailer and have been thinking about putting in a Jensen as you did. Was it easy to do? Did it require any modifications to the opening or wiring?

Thanks Cookie. We are going out again next Wednesday, so I will hope that my trailer works good then! :)

Well, I took my trailer to the dealer yesterday and he said they worked to try and replicate my problem, but could not make it happen. I told them that for some reason it was tripping on a GFI receptacale, but not a standard one. They tested the water heater circuit, tested for hot skin, and did...

So I had to move sites at the campground today. When I plug into my new pedestal, which has a GFI 30amp breaker, and the breaker trips immediately. But when I plug into the next site with a non-GFI 30 amp breaker, everything works fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Guys, I had also contacted TrailerAid about my situation. After speaking with their Engineers, this is what they responded to me with: Below is what I learned about the Trailer-Aid with the spread axle: We do not know for sure. As we have learned in the past, the weight of the trailer...

Guys, here is a picture where you can see the spread axle design on my trailer.
