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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

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.

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!

Everyone, I helped a buddy change his tire today on his trailer. He had a Trailer-Aid ramp to do it, and we changed the tire in literally minutes. It was so fast and much easier than jacking up the trailer. I went home and I decided to read some reviews before I bought one for my trailer. A...

Guys, Got a question for you. I know this is an older truck, but it looks like it is in real good shape. A guy close to me has a 2002 Silverado 2500HD crew cab Duramax for sale. It has 109,000 miles on it, and he is asking $11,500 for it. Is this a good deal? The truck looks in really good...

We just got back from a week of camping up in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. We stayed at the Indian Lake State Park just northwest of Manistique, MI. This is a great park and I encourage anyone to go there. Lots of Heartland products up there this weekend as well!

My kids and my wife were getting into the trailer today, and they all got shocked when they touched the door handle. It seems like there is current running through the trailer. Has anyone had this as well? I am quite concerned right now.

Just thought I would post a picture of our site this past weekend. It was a little cool, but all around a beautiful weekend!

Hello Everyone, We have a North Trail 28BRS and I need to ask something about the water pump. We do a majority of our camping at State Parks here in Wisconsin, so I am using my water pump almost every time we go. On the two weekends we went out this year, I have noticed that our pump seems to...

I was just cruising the Heartland website and I noticed that there is a new model called the SD XLT 299BH. My wife and I have been looking at getting into a 5th wheel, but do need the bunks for our kids yet. Does anyone know if these are in production yet? I did a Google search, but couldn't...

I have a question for everyone. I currently have a Silverado 2500 Crew Cab standard bed with the 6.0L gas engine, 3.73 rear end, and a towing capacity of 12,300lbs, per the Trailer Life towing guide. I have been looking at upgrading to a 5th wheel, and I found one that my wife and I really...

Well Guys, Here in Wisconsin, November starts bringing in the off-season for me. Just before this camping season, I bought a 2007 Chevy 2500HD crew cab with the 6.0L gas motor. I know the dealership went through most of the fluids on the truck, but I don't know how many they actually changed...

Guys, I have a question for you. A few weeks ago, I was winterizing my 28BRS and went underneath the trailer to make sure all the vent lines were ready for winter. I happened to look at the tires, and noticed a possible problem. The inside tread on all 4 of my tires is worn thin. I mean so...

I am seriously thinking about going with what seems to be a new model for Heartland, the Elk Ridge Express E29. It has what seems to be a new layout and I think my wife and I really like it. I just need to find more pictures of it on the internet, as right now, almost (0) exist besides the...

Here are some more pictures from a recent camping trip that we went on. This is our favorite state park in Wisconsin.

Everyone, I am not sure I am posting this in the correct section, but I figure someone will move it if it isn't! :) I have done a good job on keeping up with the cleaning on my TT, but the plastic components seem to be discoloring a little. What I mean by plastic components is the electric...

Hello All, We currently own a 2011 NT 28BRS, but have been looking at getting into a 5th wheel. One of the layouts that we really like is teh ElkRidge E30 model. We love the bunk area in the back for the kids especially. One thing that we noticed though, is that it just doesn't seem like there...

Hello Everyone. Just wanted to update everyone with some pictures of places we have been lately. The first picture is of a campsite we had at a state park in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was just beautiful. As you can see, Lake Michigan was probably about 50 yards behind our trailer...

I have a North Trail 28BRS. I went on the Heartland website and it has a height listed on the spec sheet of 10'2". Does that include the air conditioner on top as well? Only reason I ask is because I am looking to store my trailer at a new place and the guy is asking how tall it is to see if...

Well, we got our first camping trip of 2012 in the books a few weeks ago. I will finally post pictures.......been really busy lately. It was a great time. About 55-60 degrees during the day. It got a little chilly at night, but nothing that a good campfire wouldn't cure. .

Guys, Just wondering if you guys take the TV out of your TT during the winter months when you store it? I do, but I talked to two people today and they both said they have never taken theirs out. Just thought I would ask you guys if the cold would hurt the TV or not? Thanks.

I have a 2011 28BRS and I am about to go and get it from storage here in a month or so. I want to make sure I have the wheel bearings properly greased up and ready for this season, as I am planning on taking some longer trips this year. Last year we basically pulled no more than 25 miles from...

Hello Everyone, I have been looking for some wheel chocks for my camper. I have been told that the ones that look like the attached work very well to hold the camper in place. I am concerned though that with my spread axle design on my 28BRS, that these are not going to open up far enough. Does...

Guys, I have been looking and looking for a 2500HD to purchase, but I just cannot find the right one for me. My wife and I thought that instead of spending a ton of money this year buying a new truck, I would instead put some air bags on my truck. I have a 28BRS and I just don't like how much...

Hey Everyone, Got a question for you all. My Dad is going to be buying a new truck and he currently has a 2006 Silverado 1500 Ext Cab Z71. He bought it new and it currently has about 44,000 miles on it. I have a 28BRS North Trail that I currently tow with a 2000 GMC 1500. I am thinking...

Got a question for everyone. This past year, we bought a 2011 North Trail 28BRS and we absolutely love the camper. My truck is a 2000 GMC 1500 and it is working fine to pull my trailer for now. In the next 6 months or so, I would like to invest in a GMC 2500HD to pull the camper though. So my...

Everyone, Ever since we bought our new 28BRS this past April, I have been having real troubles getting any radio stations in on my trailer. My cousin just purchased a new trailer as well and when he took his radio off last night, he found that the radio antenna cord was wrapped up and just...

Does anyone have one of these trailers? I was approached with a deal to buy a new one of these and the dealer says that I can pull it with my 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 truck. I called my local GM dealership and they said my truck has an 8000lb towing capacity. I would more than likely put the air...

This is the first real time that I will be giving the camper a good wash this weekend. Got any tips for how to wash the awning? I just want to make sure that I don't rip it. Thanks.

This was the first camping trip that we had this year. 1st time out with the new trailer as well. It went very well! P.S. - Don't mind the awning. I was trying to get a stick off the awning with my broom, so that is why it is sagging so much in the middle and not tight like normal. I hope...

Hello All, I am new to the forums here, so I am not sure if they have a particular site for people to post pics of their rigs. Does anyone know if they have a particular forum on here to show everyone our rigs? I think it would be a great place to see everyone's setups.

Hello Everyone, I am new to the forum here, but I have a question about my NorthTrail rv that I just bought. We have the electric stabilizer jacks on my trailer and they work great. Only problem is that I keep on bending the back ones going down driveways. I now bent my 2nd set of jacks and...
