    Window Caulking

    I just noticed the caulk splitting on the rear living window, so I'm planning on replacing it as soon as the East Coast Monsoon Season is over. (Temporary tape-over for now). Looking at all of the windows, I see that they are caulked along the top and a few inches down the side. Is that all I...

    Grease Seal Replacement

    So I'm reading the Lippert instructions for greasing the bearings. They say "Apply a Permatex sealant to the outside of the new seal". Does anybody do this? Which Permatex do you use? I've never done bearings before, but I'm not sure I've seen this step in any other instructions. Seems to...

    Trailer Aid Tire Jack

    Has anybody used this device on a trailer with spread axles? My North Trail 26LRSS has the spread axles, and I'm wondering: - Will it lift the tire on the other axle off the ground, with the axle centerlines that far apart? - Will I put any excessive stress on the leaf spring equalizer?

    Lippert 4400# Axle Parts

    My 2012 North Trail 26LRSS has Lippert 4400# axles. I went to the Lippert site to buy bearings and seals, but they don't show any parts for 4400# axles. They list 3500# and 5000# +, but no 4400#. Does anybody know where to get parts? I would like to have the parts on hand before I tear into...

    Winterizing City Water

    Does anyone know how and where the city water connection ties into the general plumbing on a 26LRSS? After my first shot at winterizing, I'm a little uncomfortable with the thought that there might be water lying in the line from the city water connection to wherever. I first drained the...

    Slideout Stuck & Unstuck

    When I brought our trailer from storage to the driveway prior to our last outing, I was not a happy camper when the slideout mechanism made a rat-a-tat-tat racket and the slideout didn't budge from its full in position. And the manual override shaft wasn't turning. Something's stuck. It...

    Cape Cod area route information

    Heading onto Cape Cod in a few weeks. Circumstances beyond my control have us arriving at Brewster Saturday around 3 PM. My experience with the beaches down our way is that mid-afternoon is when all of the weekly rentals start and thus when the entire week's worth of vacationers shows up. Is...

    Don't Mess With Success

    I know ... this topic is for ideas for improvements. A place where we can all point out what isn't right. But as I sit inside my 26LRSS Caliber Edition on an unexpectedly rainy evening, I look around and see all of the things that Heartland has done right. - Windows: I don't believe there's...

    Porch Light Out

    The "porch" light, the exterior light at the entry door steps, is out. I have 12 V at the switch, but no continuity from the switch to ground. Does anybody know how to open up one of those exterior lights. It's an oval-shaped light, the same as what I have for the hitch light up front. I...

    Hitch Lock

    Has anyone found a hitch lock (the socket on the A-frame) that fits the 2-5/16 hitch used by Heartland? I have a North Trail 26LRSS, but I'm asuming the same coupler is used on all lines. I had a Reese lock from my old trailer that I liked, but it's "U-bolt" is too narrow for the larger...
