    Adhesive for attaching side vent

    I broke the frame of the plastic side fridge vent cover and now have to replace it. It just occurred to me that the self-leveling stuff I have from when I installed the roof vent would probably not be very smart on a vertical surface! :) What kind of adhesive/sealant should be used?

    Pittsburg in November?

    I'm going to Pittsburg the first weekend in November and I'd really rather bring the trailer than get a hotel. Does anyone know of any safe, open camping options there?

    Air conditioner drain on Trailrunner Scout

    Sigh... It's looking like Heartland fully enclosed the AC without any plan for drainage. (The filter that is supposed to be maintained isn't accessible either.) The AC is supposed to evap out the water but cannot keep up with it either because of humidity or because its so enclosed. So it...

    Air conditioner drain on Trailrunner Scout

    I've had my Trailrunner out in the rain twice. Both times it was muggy as well and I used the air conditioner. After driving home, I've found the cushions under the AC soaked :(. I think it's the AC, not the rain, but I'm not sure. It can definitely sit in pouring rain and not leak. Where is...

    Installing a fantastic fan and vent

    The basic fan with thermostat, plus cover was my plan. Why do you say max air rather than fantastic?

    Installing a fantastic fan and vent

    I saw that type as well, but I was going to get one of the vent covers that can be used in any weather, so I don't need the rain sensor. But I will definitely check on ebay!

    Installing a fantastic fan and vent

    That's exactly what I'm doing. I want the additional level of safety of a thermostatically controlled fan in case the power should go out when my dogs are in the trailer but I'm not...

    Installing a fantastic fan and vent

    Thanks all, it basically does seem to measure 14", I just wanted to be sure it wasn't an oddball way of measuring, like televisions for example :). And already has a cheapie fan, so wired...

    Installing a fantastic fan and vent

    I have a Trailrunner Scout 14rb and I'm considering adding a fantastic fan and vent. First if all, is the size of the factory vent in these 14"? Not sure how to measure it. And is there any other difference between my little TT and "normal" ones that might complicate installation or make it...

    What Food??

    Check your Innova,they announced a big recall yesterday :( I feed my pack a dehydrated food called NRG, my 16 year old turned into a puppy when I switched. When they get kibble occasionally, I use Fromm or Natures Variety. I manage a pet supply store, we sell mostly high end and holistic foods...

    Straps holding black and grey tanks...

    Well, I filled the black tank with water and there was so sag, at all. ??? Maybe too rigid because its cold???

    Straps holding black and grey tanks...

    His explanation did make sense to me. The main support for the tanks are channels that run along the long sides. The straps are simply to keep the tanks from expanding so much in the center that it causes the side supports to come out. I will definitely continue looking in to it but it was...

    Straps holding black and grey tanks...

    Ok, I called. The tech was super patient and friendly. He said the gap that I showed in the pic was not the least bit alarming. 3-4 fingers fitting in is totally normal and desirable. What DID concern him was that there wasn't much of a gap on the drain side. He advised that I fill the...

    Straps holding black and grey tanks...

    I don't want to de-winterize yet. Well, I do, desperately, but we've still got freeing weather ahead! I will call tomorrow and see what they say, and if in doubt, I guess I can de-winterize to have a look then winterize again...

    Straps holding black and grey tanks...

    Oh that does make sense! I'll definitely call, though, on Monday. Fingers crossed they're ok because I bought the TT 6 hours from home and across the border and now I'm reading about all the issues getting warranty service from dealers other than the one where the unit was purchased!😳

    Straps holding black and grey tanks...

    I just looked under my Trailrunner Scout 14rb for the first time and noticed the straps around the tanks, especially in the side away from the drains, are VERY slack. Is this normal on a new TT?

    New Sink Faucet

    Wow, $50 and 5 minutes and the ugly faucet is gone! Now I have a nice bar faucet with a bit more length, and it is even set up to attach a hose to if I ever need to!

    New Sink Faucet

    Cool! I don't mind the separate hot and cold, it's just butt-ugly and too short. So I wont even need to drill. Yay, may be an excuse to hang out in the trailer for a while this weekend! :)

    New Sink Faucet

    I keep meaning to check mine out to see how big a job it would be to replace. Is it a standard faucet or RV specific?

    Campgrounds in Frankenmuth, MI?

    Thanks, we were looking at Pine Ridge, since it is quite a bit cheaper and all we need is water/electric, we won't be there to use any other facilities.

    Campgrounds in Frankenmuth, MI?

    I'm going to take my first trip out in the Trailrunner in late May, to the Dog Bowl in Frankenmuth, Michigan. Does anyone have any suggestions for good campgrounds in the area?

    Prospects looking to take the "plunge"

    I bought my little trailer in Michigan and imported it into Ontario. I saved almost half by doing so! Importation was beyond easy. You pay the gst and inspection fee at the border, take it in for the inspection, then pay the pst upon registration. My trailer was a model that is sold in...

    Traveling with a dog

    +1 for rescues! A legit one will have likely had the dog in a foster home for a while and have a good idea of what he's like. They be pretty good at determining if he will suit your lifestyle because they'll ask YOU a lot of questions. And they won't BS you because they know if it doesn't...

    Prospective Heartland Trail Runner buyers, HELP!

    I haven't had a chance to use it yet, so I don't know if my opinion counts, but I just bought a Trailrunner scout 14rb and I'm thrilled with it. It seems really well thought out and solid...

    I guess what I was looking for is something like this... http://heartlandrvs.com/index.php?p=41&c=travel&sc=TR&view=standards It seems to be available for the other TR models... Is there a Trail Runner section on this forum, I couldn't find one?

    Introduction

    I just joined... I'm likely buying a new 2012 Heartland Trail Runner Scout 14RB next Monday, unless something comes up to make me change my mind. I'm starting to get a little concerned about the lack of info out there (and here) about the brand and model. The info I have found looks positive...
