    Au Revoir

    The trailer is dead, long live the trailer! It's a vicious cycle - bigger truck = bigger trailer. Yup, traded the 21FBS on a bigger trailer. Not that there was anything wrong with the 21FBS, but I made the mistake of saying "Hey Honey, look at this floor plan." It was all over. The dealer's...

    A Few More Mods to the 21FBS

    Yeah, I know - pics or it didn't happen. I'll get around to posting them eventually..... Ever notice the annoying water pump chatter when a faucet is partially open? In the bathroom sink cabinet I mounted a 2-gallon residential expansion tank and plumbed it into the cold water line with...

    Shower Valve Mounting Box

    Hello, Our North Trail has a corner mounted shower enclosure with the shower valve blind-mounted directly to the wall. The valve is leaking and needs replaced but there's no access from behind since it backs up to an outside wall. Obviously the shower valve was installed in the enclosure before...

    ATF: North Trail - Mounting a Slide Topper

    I have a 2013 21FBS with the deep, cable-driven slide. It does not have a slide topper and I'd like to add one. Are there preferred locations to mount the brackets to the trailer body and slide? Or any locations NOT to mount the brackets to? I'd like to mount them so the attaching screws go into...

    TV to 12V

    We were dry camping with our DD and 20-m.o. granddaughter. I was going to run the TV on an inverter until I noticed the brick power supply output was 12 volts. In the spare parts pile I found a barrel power connector the correct size and a 12V power plug. After making the cable and verifying the...

    Under Bed Boot Storage

    We used to put our shoes outside under the trailer. My wife was willing to sacrifice some under-bed storage space, so I cut out & boxed in an area for the boot tray.

    Shower Faucet Replacement

    I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway..... I have a SEA angled shower enclosure in the 21FBS. The outlet on the shower faucet is cracked and spraying water and it's only a matter of time before it breaks off completely. So it appears I'll have to remove the whole enclosure to get behind...

    Cable Slide Adjustment?

    I have a 2013 21FBS with the flush, deep, cable-driven slide. When retracted, I notice one side is tighter against the trailer body than the other. Does anybody have a procedure for adjusting the slide?

    Freebie Door Mod

    I didn't like the way the doors on the storage cabinet over the bed opened - with the hinges towards the outside of the bed the doors blocked access to the cabinet when opened while you were standing beside the bed. I swapped the doors side to side so the hinges are now towards the center of the...

    Slide Windows?

    We bought a new 21FBS with the deeper slide. But coming out of a hybrid we miss the forward view.... Hey Heartland, consider adding windows to the sides of the slide please!

    New 21FBS

    We bought this in January but just picked it up. Some of our favorite campsites are on the small side and since most of the time it's DW & me it should do just fine.

    Mods to the new 21FBS

    We bought this in January but just picked it up last Saturday. We had a hybrid for 7 years and did a few mods to it, now it's time to customize the new TT. This will be a work in progress, I plan on adding dual batteries, LED lighting, an additional converter, along with a few more items...

    Outside Dinette Storage Access

    Not just NT or Heartland specific, but on most units now there is no outside access to the under-dinette storage. It's a feature I'll miss on our old Starcraft hybrid.

    (Not Quite) New NT Owners

    Hello all. My wife and I have transitioned from canoe / wilderness camping, to a popup, and for the last 6 years a Starcraft hybrid. But now we've decided on a North Trail 21FBS for a hardside. So we've started cleaning out the hybrid and take it in Saturday to trade it in. Now I get to play...
