    Awning and mold problem

    Has anyone had a problem with mold on their awning? The underside of our awning is almost completely covered with mold. When we had the unit in for service I asked the dealer to clean it as we do not have the capability to clean it ourselves where we store the unit. They told me that the mold...

    Baking food in the oven

    Our oven runs 50 degrees cooler than what the knob is set on. I think the pizza stone is a great idea for getting more consistent heating. However, we do most of our cooking in a Ninja Cooker as I'd rather use the park's electricity that I'm paying for than my propane. :D Either that or the...

    F150 and my 30RKDD

    It will work, however depending on where you have to tow it, it might not work very well. I have a 2011 26LRSS and had a 2011 5.0L 4x4 F150 Crew Cab, and towing the 26LRSS was a nightmare. Yes it would pull it, but it was very dicey whenever pulling up any type of grade. Also, the backend...

    Heartland North Trail NO antenna?

    I have a 2011 NT 26LRSS with Touch Audio. We didn't have the coiled up antenna behind the unit like many others have mentioned. We actually have a whip style antenna on the roof of the unit that is attached to the Touch Audio unit. When we first bought the unit we didn't have any reception...

    New to RV's and Towing!

    I had the same problem with my 2011 F150 4x4 Crew cab whenever I was driving up a grade pulling my 26LRSS. Since I plan on upgrading to a 5th wheel in the next few years I took the plunge and traded the F150 for a RAM 3500 DRW. This is serious overkill pulling the 26LRSS, but I can tell you I...

    Torque 291 what truck

    My 2011 F150 5.0L 4x4 Crew cab was struggling on grades pulling a 26LRSS, and that's a light weight TT. I just traded it in for a 2012 RAM 3500 6.7L Cummins 4x4 DRW Crew Cab and the difference is amazing.

    Favorite dealers for RV Purchase and Service

    Don't know how close you are, but Leo's on Rt. 3 in Gambrills, MD has always treated me great. Bought my 26LRSS from them last year. Last week we bought a new TV and needed to have our hitch flipped because it was too high with the new vehicle. I took it in on Saturday, with no appointment...

    Tow vehicle for Heartland North Trail 31RLSS?

    Re: Heartland North Trail 31RLSS I have a 2011 26RLSS and up until yesterday I towed it with a 5.0L F150 Crew cab. However, the truck really struggled when pulling up any type of grade. So, this past weekend we traded up to a 2011 RAM 3500 BigHorn. I suspect I can now pull pretty much...

    ATF: North Trail - Ladder on North Trail 26 LRSS

    I use a collapsible extension ladder as well. The one I have folds up so that it is only 4', and extends to 16'. Makes more sense to me as I can use it around the house as well when I need too.

    ATF: North Trail - 30RKDD - location of remote control brain?

    Don't know about your model, but on my 2011 26LRSS it is located under the bottom kitchen drawer.

    Winterizing City Water

    Yeah that's pretty much how I do it. Its not really a big deal, I was just wondering it just seems like an odd location, but I see your point. I do love the high clearance on the 26LRSS though.

    Concealed carry permits

    I have a Utah non-resident CCW permit. Being a Maryland resident., it was either that or Florida and Utah was the better option for me. I still can't CC in Maryland, and the Utah permit is not recognized in all states, but it's better than nothing. It's really a shame. I spend 20+ years in...

    Water Filters - Why not to keep them inside...

    I always connect a water regulator in line before anything else. Just like with the electric you never know what the water pressure is going to be. And usually, if it's high you won't find out until something ruptures.

    Winterizing City Water

    I just winterized my 26LRSS as well. It needed 3 gallons of antifreeze when I was only expecting to need 2. Good thing I bought an extra. Also, I posted this in the Design Ideas Discussion area, but any idea why Heartland would put the low point valves right behind the wheels? I had a devil...

    Low Drain Valves

    Here is a design change idea..... On the NT26LRSS relocate the low point drain valves so that they are not right behind the wheels. You practically have to crawl under the camper and around the wheels to reach the valves in order to winterize the camper. My arms simply are not long enough to...

    Military: Walt Disney TIckets

    The wife and I went there in 2009 and at the time they were giving active duty/retired military passes to all four parks for free. Just had to show my military ID, and the pass was good for a year. I think the wife's ticket cost like $150.

    What's your favorite carry weapon?

    SA XD-45 .45ACP w/2 13 round magazines. Shoots like a 9mm with the stopping power of a .45. Plus the 13 round magazines provide enough firepower to handle any situation short of a major firefight. :)

    Travel Through Harbor Tunnel In Baltimore

    I live just outside of Baltimore and take Rt. 301 all the time when visiting relatives in Richmond,VA. Much better drive than the mixing bowl on 95/495 going from DC into VA. When going north, I always take 695 towards Towson, and then 83N instead of 95N.

    New 2012 Heartland North Trail 21FBS

    Hi and welcome to the forum. For the radio, you may want to remove it from the wall and make sure that the antenna is actually connected properly. There have been other posts on the forum stating that some people have found a ribbon cable type antenna behind the radio tied up with the a twist...

    Anyone using Wind Power?

    I see all kinds of threads on adding solar power. Has anyone tried Wind power? I found a couple of threads doing a google search and was just currious if any Heartland owners had given it a try. From what I have read it doesn't appear to be that much more expensive than setting up a solar...

    Joining rv resort memberships

    Sounds like the typical type of sales gimmick you see with timeshares, that offer something for free, usually a free stay. In exchange you have to attend and listen to their high pressure sales pitches. And like what was previously mentioned, there are usually all kinds of restrictions and...

    Audio System

    I have been searching the forum and I have seen allot of threads talking about issues with the installed Touch Audio system. Has anyone replaced the audio system in their NT, and if so what did you replace it with? Just curious. We are taking our new NT out on a shakedown camping trip this...

    weather alarm

    I went out to the storage lot yesterday and disconnected the battery until I can install the kill switch for the radio. i think while I'm at it I'm going to install a cut off switch for the battery as well.

    Hitch Lock for NT 2011 26LRSS

    Anyone using a hitch lock on a NT 26LRSS? We just picked up our new 2011 NT 26LRSS this past Saturday and the hitch lock I had for our old camper does not fit because it is not wide enough. Just wondering what others are using so I don't order one that won't work.

    weather alarm

    I'm going to have to do the toggle (kill switch) mod. We just picked up our new 2011 26LRSS this past Saturday, and dropped it off at the storage lot at Ft. Meade. Got it unhitched just in time because thunderstorms were rolling in. We came back to the storage lot on Sunday to put some things...

    New 2011 NT 26LRSS TT

    Thanks for the tips. Just what i thought, that I would have to use boards or leveling blocks. I was hoping that there was an option similar to the BAL leveler, that I used on the pop-up, that I could just crank up until level. Seems much simpler to me than having to use trial and error with...

    New 2011 NT 26LRSS TT

    Good Morning, The wife and I just traded in our pop-up camper for a new 2011 NT 26LRSS TT. Or as they would say on the pop-up forums, we have gone to the dark side. LOL We will be taking delivery of the new TT this coming Saturday, then taking it to a local KOA for a shakedown outing the...
