    Backing into a site...

    TxBobcat, I think this is a superior video. First day I hooked up my trailer, by myself with no one from the dealer to help me, caused me a bit of anxiety. I have done it, hooked and unhooked, 3 times now and am a pro. Pulling the trailer no longer causes me angst. So, 2 out of 3 major taskings...

    Maiden Voyage 2016 NT 22RBK. Great success!

    Thanks for the suggestions. I had seen these and wondered about them.

    Maiden Voyage 2016 NT 22RBK. Great success!

    Truly I/we expected "some" issues. Would have wondered otherwise. It was a trip of exploration and, as such, was 100% successful.

    Maiden Voyage 2016 NT 22RBK. Great success!

    I posted some pictures in an album, but not sure how to share. So going to put a few here. I hope. The Bosses. Life is good. Guadalupe River State Park. 03/20/2016 - 03/23/2016. Only couple of issues found. A/C is a bit noisy. Fan sounds like it might have a bearing loose. When diverted...

    Check lists...

    Love the bear. We have started our own, but being Heartland owners we thought there might be more specific check lists for us. Just a thought. I have my first Equalizer hitch. I am setting up a special check list just for this. I am, as you say, sure it will become 2nd nature, but until it...

    Check lists...

    You ever notice that there are people that all you have to do is kinda point them in the right direction and they are off and running? And then there are those that after careful, detailed instruction and explanations, look at you with those wide blank staring eyes? I am kinda in the 2nd...

    Propane grill connection

    I am sure others will say, but as I understand it, the propane port puts out a low pressure. Standard grills have a regulator that take the tank pressure and drop it down. So, if it is already low...you see the problem. I have "heard" some have taken the regulator off of the propane grill to get...

    Backing up...

    If one can be come proficient doing something by youtube videos, I am now ready to go to work for Fedex. :rolleyes: That was an awe inspiring video. I can't backup like that into my driveway with my pickup! Timing is so bad. We made our decision 03/01/2016. The dealer was busy, so we can't do...

    Ball locks, wheel locks etc...

    Again good stuff and again thanks. Gives me things to think upon. - - - Updated - - - One hopes that at an RV park this would be noticed. And at my storage facility, it has cameras and I would hope this would be noticed there as well. If not it will certainly make my insurance company unhappy.

    Ball locks, wheel locks etc...

    This is good stuff. I will be looking into your Combicams. I am working on some kind of camera system myself. Of course it will only be active while we are using the TT. What set up are you using? I have been looking at the Arlo set up. I realize that the only way I can guarantee never to...

    Ball locks, wheel locks etc...

    Good advice. We don't "plan" on being full timers, but who knows what the future brings? Always a good idea to know the neighbors. Short or long. I am just trying to keep my well learned paranoia in check and not driving my wife crazy. TBD if I will be successful at either.

    Ball locks, wheel locks etc...

    My wife agrees with guyc66's zen acceptance. I feel that if I can, for a moderate price, at least somewhat annoy any would be thief, that I have done my part. I "kinda" worry about it at a RV site. State park or private, but was really thinking of storage. It will, sadly, most likely spend more...

    Ball locks, wheel locks etc...

    Wasn't sure where to post this. Seems the only place I found dealing with security was a closed forum. Don't know if I didn't search long enough. Anyway. When I am at a camp ground, and I want to leave for a few hours to visit some POI, I worry that someone could come in, unhook my 22RBK and...

    Backing up...

    Have told Lady Wife that one way to get me to stop is to move out of my line of sight. I will NOT back up unless I SEE she is clear. - - - Updated - - - I will certainly be testing the validity of "old dogs learning new tricks". This HAS been a great thread and truly appreciate all the...

    Bang!

    Now THAT sounds like a great plan!

    Bang!

    All good info thanks. Can't wait to try it.

    Bang!

    Deed is done. Hope to meet you all. This being a bit new to us (pull behinds and all) we plan on going slow at first. A night here, a night there, kinda thing. Want to stay local (kinda) until we are sure it's settling out well. Rather find out something doesn't work 40 miles from home instead...

    Bang!

    Application and $$ have been submitted. Looking forward to the Rallies. When it ask, I told it South Central Texas South? As I remember the question. New Braunfels is just outside San Antonio.

    Bang!

    Have my overalls, white gloves, flashlight, camera and creeper ready to go. Day has been blocked off. Nothing else will be on my schedule.

    Bang!

    We pulled the trigger. That was me being funny. Signed the paperwork on NT22RBK yesterday. Will go thru dealer prep end of this week/first of next week then our walk thru. So far (and it's early yet) the only complaint I have is with the Heartland North Trail brochure: "How can you get any...

    Backing up...

    Really good ideas. And I really appreciate the responses. I know that once I have done it a few times, I won't be "quite" so intimidated about the idea. I have nightmares about taking GPS directions and winding up on a road that makes 179 degree turns. Thanks to those that have replied. - - -...

    Backing up...

    We have had an RV before (baby motorhome). And sometime in 1970 I pulled a U-Haul from WA to TX. Didn't get myself in any situation that required backing up. So, everyone had to have done their first back up at one time or another. Besides "playing" in a Walmart parking lot, what else can I do...

    Greetings...

    Just selected our first Heartland North Trail 22RBK today. It's in Dallas and in the next day or so, should be in Seguin at the dealership. They are going to set it up and we get to go play pretend. We are 99.71% certain it's the one. We almost purchased a 21FBS so like I say, this is even...
