    We love our Heartland North Trail 31BHD (2209) but...

    I have taken great care of our trailer since we purchased in 2009. I did make the decision to not cover it because we use it often, store recreation items for all year in it, and have read that covers can scratch the fiberglass. I expected my roof to go first. Didn't happen. Last July we moved...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: GA, Dillard - 8/30/2013 to 9/1/2013

    We've just found that we will have to cancel this year. Our son has changed his wedding date and will now be getting married over Labor Day weekend. His fiancé grew up in another country and this date works best for the mother and step family to get here. Funny, I don't think she even knows it's...

    ATF: North Trail - Outside TV Mount

    I still have hopes that you'll get a real "factory" answer. I've found that it is hard to get those who should know to state something as fact!

    ATF: North Trail - Outside TV Mount

    I wish I could help you with the TV bracket. We have a bar inside our front door and at the end of our bed. We place a TV there and then that TV is carried outside when we're out and placed on a bench while in use. We've found that we like to move the TV around depending on the weather and how...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: GA, Dillard - 8/30/2013 to 9/1/2013

    Sam offers to bring his margarita machine but I can only offer some homemade wine. We'll call this week to reserve our place.....no making fun of the small North Trail Trailer! We love our trailer.

    Blogging

    Thanks for the idea of a section for blogs. It would be nice to have one section with all blogs listed. I did add mine to the signature though it is mostly for our kids and a few friends to see what we are doing but maybe someone will see a picture and choose to visit one of our favorite...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: GA, Elko - 3/16/2012 to 3/18/2012

    Thank you to all who had a part in planning and prepping the GA rally! We had a wonderful time. The campground is one of the best private we've visited. it's a shame it is so close to home so we'll never use! We arrived home before noon on Sunday and Sam has already arrived for meetings today...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: GA, Elko - 3/16/2012 to 3/18/2012

    We should be arriving tomorrow after stopping to have our tankless water heater installed in the morning. We should be able to stay until Sunday morning. I'm planning non-irish for the potluck....pork roast with a spicy raspberry sauce and maybe homemade blueberry cheesecake ice cream if I can...

    Jackknife sofa bed

    Ours was bent somewhere in the frame. We aren't sure if it was bent when we were rearended, bent from sleeping on it, or bent from (most likely!) fighting it to open and close. Rather than trying to fix, we took the sofa out and had a mattress made that fit the under-sofa platform. We then...

    ATF: North Trail - Ladder

    We took our 31 BHD back to the dealership where we purchased and they added a ladder to the back for us. It was, probably, our best modification!

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: GA, Elko - 3/16/2012 to 3/18/2012

    Hi All, We will be joining you for the rally. We've owned our Heartland North Trail for several years but due to Sam's work schedule and weekday weekends, we've never been able to participate in what the normal world does! Now, just six months away from retirement eligibility, he finally has...

    Where is the Water pump on a 31RED?

    We have a 31 BHD. Our water pump is under one of the dinnette seats.

    Side Swiped By a Big Truck

    Last year, while sitting at a red light, we were hit by a distracted driver who had a cigarette in one hand and cell phone in the other. Since I see we live close together I can tell you we were in front of Belk, SB, in Griffin when we were hit. She was way too fast for that congested area! She...

    Where to Stay around Savannah GA

    River's End Campground is, probably, closest and easiest drive to the Savannah area you want to visit. It is out on Tybee Island. It is an easy bike ride or walk to the lighthouse and beach. The campground has made some improvements. Some sites have been spread out alittle. Electrical...

    Interior wallpaper border

    I applied my new border right over the old. I used the top line of the old as my guide to apply the new and keep it straight. The only thing I wish I had done was apply the new paper about 1/4'' above the old since the new border was larger. I had to go back with seam repair and reglue the top...

    Reed Bingham State Park in Georgia

    Reed Bingham State Park was one of our two great surprise parks last summer (Oscar Shearer State Park, Venice FL our second!). We've lived in GA most of our lives but never thought to visit there. The State Park Paddler's Club required a kayak trip to the park. The campground was typical of GA...

    What's your favorite campground in the south ????????

    We are also in Georgia but about 45 miles south of Atlanta. We enjoy any of the GA State Parks. High Falls State Park has a fairly new camping area on the lower section of the falls. Indian Springs State Park has camping on their lake. FDR State Park has wonderful hiking trails. We enjoy camping...

    Changes, I guess I'm the odd one!

    First let me say that we love our 2009 North Trail 31 BHD! We are coming up on two years ownership. While camping just a few days ago, we were bragging about the low weight of the North Trails. People are always so impressed with the length verses the weight. Also, from the first step in you can...

    lcd tv for 31qbs?

    We have the 31 BHD. We just have a 19" that we move around. For the master area, we place it on the bar facing the bed. We turn it to face the sofa to watch from there. We carry to the back for our extra sofa. We choose not to mount the television because we enjoy setting it up to watch a movie...

    Metal cookware in Half Time Oven

    Can I use metal cookware (muffin pan, cake pan...) while using the half time mode? The oven manual and my laminated "quick quide" to the oven both say that I must use the metal tray and that I can use any oven-safe cookware and lists specifically: glass, ceramic, and metal pans. Others have...

    Half-Time Oven Issues?

    Anyone with problem using metal? This thread has been bothering me for three weeks now. I'm sure I must have used metal in the half time mode over the last year. I've never had any problems. I almost never use the microwave mode and never use the convection oven mode. I finally retrieved my...

    Halftime and AC

    Another discovery to the AC and microwave situation. I can run both together with lights and maybe television on. The problem occurs when the air conditioner turns off then restarts because of temperature. As long as I bump the air down to the lowest setting so it never goes off, everything...

    Calling all North Trail owners

    We are from Griffin, GA. We have a 31 BHD. We haven't camped yet in 2009 because I've had to help our daughter with her business while she is on maternity leave. We are looking forward to starting our camping season this month. Our first plan for this year is to start the GA State Parks...

    28BHS Queen Bed mattress

    We put a memory foam pad on top of our mattress. It made a world of difference.

    Bummer dude

    Sam retires in three years. Right now we have Thur/Fri days off so we don't do much with anyone! Last Friday evening we walked through High Falls State Park campground here in GA. We couldn't believe all the people out (no heartland of any kind!). We usually camp on Wed and Thur nights for our...

    Travel Iron

    Why a travel iron? I use a cheap, grocery store, $12.00 model. It doesn't take much more space than a travel iron yet heats and steams better than the travel iron. The weight of a cheap iron is about the same as a travel iron. I know I would start problems on other boards but..... I have too...

    How many ladies out there driving while pulling their 5th wheel?

    We have almost the same question going over at the North Trail forum too! I hate to drive my own car seven miles to work so I never volunteer to drive on vacation. I can drive the TT as long as I don't have to make quick or tight lane changes. I do not back-up. We have the 31 BHD so it's pretty...

    Trips

    Wish we could make it toward Mobile in mid-April. This month is packed with south GA to end the month. The GA State Parks have a "Paddler's Club" and I will earn my tee-shirt this year. Have a wonderful trip! Christy

    nervous

    If I had read all this first, I might not have even purchased! It's really not as bad as it might seem. We've had our's for a year and have had no problems except a mishap that was my husband's fault. Don't be afraid to take two lanes for a tight turn so you don't catch a stop sign with your...

    Thank you to Jensen

    I was happy to see a section devoted to ASA Electronics-Jensen. We had a problem with our Jensen stereo AWM910. For almost a year, everything worked fine. Then one day, I plugged in my IPOD and nothing happened. I had a LCD display but no speaker lights and no sound. We checked the RV for...

    New purchasers with questions...

    Back to the first part of your question....We have the North Trail 31 BHD. We didn't need or want bunks either. We were going to remove the top bunk completely leaving the sofa below. After looking at the size of the bunk shelf, we just removed the mattress and left the wood. It is the perfect...

    Campground North of Miami

    We just bought a North Trail 31 BHD! Boy, is it nice! I am planning ahead to September 2008. We are going on a 7-night cruise out of Miami in mid-September. We want to camp before and after our cruise and are trying to find a campground to store the RV while we are on the cruise. We will...
