I agree with everyone above. The aspect of legality on the road comes into play as well. Commercial vehicle officers are well trained eyes. If your hitch receiver allows your trailer to be towed only with a WD hitch, you should have one on. I tow 9k behind my 1 ton Chevy van. I also have...

I am right there with you. The main reason I purchased a Heartland was because of the customer service reviews I had read. Too bad the local dealer couldn't join on the same customer service bandwagon!

dennismpatrick, I too have a 32BUDS and experience the same slide leveling issues. I bought several 2x6" boards long enough to fit both tires with the widetrax axle placement. I also purchased slide stabilizer jacks. They are a little more labor intensive in the setup, but for a long week...

I have used my rig 3 times now since I purchased it new. Each time I have been diligent about flushing the black tank with the "flush" system as well as using chemical tabs in it after its flushed and empty. This last trip, I dumped completely, flushed for 10 minutes, added a few cups of water...

Just my $.02. I would caution you on towing over your TV rating. In California (i know) the Highway Patrol has a division specifically for commercial vehicle enforcement. Since 99% of the pickup trucks on the road out here are registered as a commercial vehicle, they will stop, weigh and...

This may be a dumb question, but how do I get my member number to show up below my avatar? I am an introductory membership for the next 12 months. Does that have anything do with it?

Bob, Great to hear from you again. I actually found a service center much closer to me that will do my work from now on. I just have to get Giant RV to finish this job. Lake Skinner sounds great. How does the 10th-12th look for you folks? My wife wanted me to ask if you might be able to...

That is great info. I have actually found another local shop (in the last 10 minutes) that does Heartland work. Once this whole thing is over, I will be going there instead

WDK450, I hear ya. I thought I had to stay with the original dealer that I purchased it from. I am going to look around my area and see if I can find a Heartland Authorized service center. Thats great information.

DaneMayer, Thanks for your reply. I just got off the phone with Heartland and now know the real story. My dealer didnt submit the warranty claim until today. I will be calling the service manager about this shortly. I am in Southern California, there hasnt been temps below 45 in 2 years...

I purchased my brand new 32BUDS in January, have only made 1 payment on it. Second trip out, the water heater springs a bad leak at the housing. Tightened everything up.....still leaks. I called it into the dealer on March 2nd. They schedule me in for Today (March 16th) to have it repaired...

JohnD, I totally understand the overhang problem. When I was in the market for a van, I only wanted the Chevrolet 15 passenger, because the ford 15 passenger vans have the large overhang as well. I also wanted a lifted van to help avoid the dragging problems. I have a 6" lift on 34" tires on...

This is our 3 week old NT 32BUDS with bunks and the outdoor kitchen. The only upgrade besides TV size, is the LED light strip under the awning. Its quite nice when boondocking We tow it with a surprisingly capable 2012 Chevrolet Express van 3500 on rear air bags. I also converted the rear...

I am a Ramona transplant. I actually live in the estates. I grew up in the Inland Empire (you know where the smog meets the landfill at the bottom of the mountains). I think you hit it on the head with Campland. We were somewhat beach front, but right next to the long term campers. I...

F_Goose, We live in Ramona. As a matter of fact on your way up or down from Julian you can see our rig stored just north of Dye road and 67. Its at a buddies house until my gate gets widened. Bob&Patty, I love lake skinner. Used to visit as a kid, would enjoy taking my kids back. I will...

Thanks folks! We may join the owners club, but it doesnt look like there are many rallies in the so cal region. We still work full time, so weekend trips are our best option at the moment. Driving 8-10 hours isnt quite in the cards yet.

We are brand new owners (4 dayS) of our North Trail 32BUDS. We will be at Campland by the bay this weekend. Spot L-36. Stop by and say hey. We have 5 kids and are always looking for similar families. Look for the red 15 passenger tow vehicle
