    ATF: North Trail - Dinette to bed setup

    You have the board with the aluminum legs (or metal) correct? You have to remove the dining table top and leg and set it aside. Remove all the cushions. Then you should be able to see how the board sits in the area where the table normally is. The board rests on the 3 sides of the booth...

    First Timer looking at Mallard M245

    Re: First Timer looking at M245 Repairs through CW can be done without as much headache if you are prepared. With documentation, continued contact with Heartland and CW, our repair process has been good. Now, none of the repairs required immediate attention so we let them pile up and turned...

    Bunkhouse Heat

    The service tech said that the duct was run through the i-beam x-bars (not the exact term he used but I can't remember) to keep it in place. It was an extremely simple, brainless thing to do and unfortunate it wasn't done the correct length at the factory.

    Bunkhouse Heat

    The bunkhouse and lack of heat has seems to be common. I remember conversations about it in the past. CW fixed ours under warranty. It was accessible from underneath. Had I known the solution earlier, I would have had CW also do the bathroom heat supply. If I can talk my husband into it, we...

    Bunkhouse Heat

    Bunkhouse heating issue RESOLVED! I know there have been many M32 and M33 owners who have the issue of little to no heat blowing in the bunkhouse. Check how long your duct is. This is the extra duct that was removed on our M32. The furnace is located on the passenger side. The duct came out...

    Frustrating. I know there are a few m33 owners on the Mallard FB page, maybe try there.

    Help! Water heater bypass on M33

    We have a M32 and our water heater is under the kitchen sink. Your sink in the island though. Look on the outside of your unit for where the water heater door (for the vent and drain plug) and then the tank and connections should be directly on other side of the wall inside. My terminology may...

    Getting a 2018 m32. What’s the good and bad

    We have a 2018 M32 and love it. Put well over 3,000 miles on it in the 5.5 months we used it before winter hit and camped nearly every weekend with longer trips. Heartland has been amazing at ensuring anything we found was fixed. Heartland also allowed us to "pile" the items as we found them...

    North Trail 33 buds towing

    We have a 1/2 ton and looked at the North Trail 33BUDS and Mallard M33. After speaking with other owners and really diving into all the towing calculations (mama here with a motto of Safety First), realized with the 33 we needed to upgrade my truck. Can anyone on the forum help with the...

    Congratulations! So many memory making opportunities await you. We have a 2018 M32. Love our unit and remain very happy through some trials thanks to CW. The PDI Checklist from OregonCamper referenced by Danemayer is very important. Another key document is/are the Work Order(s) attached to...

    Mallard m32 tv installation help

    I installed the mount myself in our M32 and had my husband assist in attaching the tv as I didn't want to drop it. With the advice of others, I went with a Moryde self locking, full movement mount. Love it! Much sturdier then the cheaper mount I used in our prior camper. The movement allows...

    Sink and counter top

    Thankfully I had read about the lack of clips and inspected ours during the PDI. Needless to say, the lack of clips is being taken care of. When it is a known problem across all lines and isn't being taken care of, leads me to believe it may not be lazy linemen.

    Newbie Refrigerator Questions

    Congrats on your new purchase! I 2nd Jim. Many who do not store their unit at their homes will bring it at least 1 day prior to their home to not only load the camper but to plug in the refrigerator. If you don't already have a 30 amp (or 50 amp) to 15 amp power converter, you may want to...

    The Beat Goes On

    You may already be aware, but in case you are not. Call Heartland with the last 6 of your VIN and ask for "Warranty for the state of ____" They will tell you if any parts are on back order or not yet shipped. Heartland will also tell you the exact day's claims were submitted and approved. If...

    TV Mount in Mallard with swiveling entertainment center

    Correct. The mount holds 25 lbs and our TV was maybe 18 pounds. I don't remember the exact weight. When it is extended and tilted, for us it is sturdy. The kids have run into it, etc without any problems. If our camper wasn't in for warranty repair, I would take pictures or video for you...

    TV Mount in Mallard with swiveling entertainment center

    Surprisingly, it is thicker than you think. I installed the mount with the provided hardware and it has held the 3,000 miles we have towed. The fact that self locking feature is a must have otherwise you will need to strap down your TV for travel. With the location of the couch and dinette to...

    TV Mount in Mallard with swiveling entertainment center

    Do you still get natural light with the black or smoke vent cover?

    I want to put a Maxxaire cover on the bathroom fan. Seeing how our a/c shrouds are black, a black vent cover would look best. Does the cover still allow the natural light in?

    Prospective buyer for torque T285 toyhauler

    Although I can not speak on the Torque, I can say that after months of research we decided on a Heartland product. Our previous TT was a manufacturer who's warranty was horrible. I called and talked to the sales reps and the warranty departments for a few different manufacturers. Another key...

    Morryde vs Lippert Entry Steps

    At the WI RV Show, not only Heartland' s but other manufacturers are putting decent steps on the main entry door. The majority have the Lippert Solid Step while a few had Morryde. This modification is on the top of my list for spring. According to the salesman the Lipperts are new. For those...

    Traveling with front end cap lights on?

    Our unit is in for warranty work so this is a stock image. However, there us a switch in the pass through that turns these on. This is the type if light I am talking about, not the running lights per say. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Traveling with front end cap lights on?

    We just traveled from the Florida Keys to Madison, WI. For the first time ever, I noticed many campers being towed with front end cap lights on. Is there a purpose for this? There was a lot of traffic, wind, rain, snow, and freezing temperatures that we traveled through. Not sure if that is...

    Good grief, is this a good idea?

    By no means do I agree with this scary thought, however, my suspicion is this is a business move at trying to keep an edge in the market with other large on line retailers offering similar services. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Outdoor grill mod?

    I modified my Coleman Roadtrip grill to be able to connect into the quick connect. There were a few good videos on YouTube. I picked up all the fittings from Home Depot and Menards and the hose off of Amazon. I also modified the quick connect connection on the camper so that I can have the...

    IDM ON Mallards

    Could it have to do with the area of the country they are being sold in? If my memory serves me correctly, when I was researching the M32 before purchase, the units out west were idm. It would be a good question to ask Heartland directly. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Plywood shift under roof membrane

    Plywood shift under roof membrane

    Thoughts and/or Opinions Our camper is at CW for all the warranty work. One of the items I pointed out was movement in the roof at a seam towards the front cap (about 1 foot off). This is the response from CW re: the problem. "He said the roof seam seems to be caused by a slight shift in the...

    Mallard M26 winter campiing question

    Thank you for the info. I have the S7 and added the camera to our camper wishlist. We have the 2018 M32. The 13.5 added to the bunkhouse makes a big difference in keeping the camper cooled in 90+ temps. The unit also serves as a good sound machine when the kids are sleeping. :D

    Mallard M26 winter campiing question

    It is a non-ducted unit. I researched and talked to many owners asking about the ability of one 15k a/c to keep a 30+ foot camper cooled. Everything pointed to two a/c's. Due to our son's medical needs, I needed to ensure we could keep whatever camper we decided on cooled. I am curious to...
