    What Type of Slide Does the Sundance Have?

    Does anyone know if the Ultralight Sundance fiver models (Mid Profile) are the same? In particular, I assume the short 28BH model shared with the North Trail line is probably structurally the same, which I'll bet includes the slide. Just for adjustment sake, I'd like to stay away from the...

    What Type of Slide Does the Sundance Have?

    We had a 2009 North Trail travel trailer that had a cable-type actuated slide that had rollers that rolled along the actual floor or uderside of the slide box. Does the Sundance (fifth wheels and travel trailers) have the same type, or is it a hydraulic or gear actuated with slide rails under...

    Slide Construction

    So, Mike, a few questions because I don't have access to a super-slide or an Edge anywhere near local... 1) The North Trail has wide poly rollers that roll on a fiberglass laminated plywood floor of the slides. Does the Edge have steel tracks monted to the underside of their slide floors so...

    Edge Shell Construction

    So, I guess the Edge is actually has welded aluminum wall framing covered with a fiberglass exterior, just like the North Trails, huh?

    considering the 32Qbss

    Certainly there are other 31 and 32 footers with bunks Heartland offers that are below the almost 36 foot length of the 32QBSS. How about the 31QBS? It is 33'-5" . The 32QBSS and the 31BDSS are both King Slide models, which stretch them top the 35'-5". I tow a 31BHD at 32'-7", and from a 27...

    Can I tow with a 1/2 ton truck?

    You can look at maximum tow ratings all day long, but the max is only rated with an empty truck with only the driver in the truck - no passengers or cargo. Be real concerned with payload. You may find your payload to be in the 1,200 pound range on your truck, but after loading up the typical...

    Slide Construction

    A few questions about the slide out on the M-22... How does the slide on the M-22 operate? Electrically? Is it cable driven? Does it have actual tracks on the underside of the slide, or long rollers that roll across the underside floor of the slide? What kind of seals are on the...

    Edge Shell Construction

    So, we are considering the Edge, too (an M-22). Is this delamination beoming a problem or is this an isolated case? Has Heartland remedied this on future trailers, or ones currently being built? Just asking before we take a plunge.

    Running down the road with the propane on.

    The Edge has a three-way fridge... 12V (battery), 110V, and LP. It's not like other trailers made by Heartland.

    Edge fridge

    I personally saw the red at the factory and find it 100% nicer than the blue. Of course, I'd rather the Canadian graphics, though.

    Calling all North Trail owners

    Well, I'm interested in all the 31BHD owners on this post. We have a 31BHD, too. We haven't had much use out of it this year as it has been in/out of the shop since we bought it, and it ultimately had to go back to the manufacturer for some repairs, but we anticipate it back this week sometime.

    Our 2010 M21 Edge (Bailey)

    Beautiful coach! I love the full body paint, but I can't convince the DW we need it on an Edge if we trade to the M22. Thanks for sharing.

    any changes for 2011

    I can assure you Heartland is not sleeping on improving their 2010 models for 2011 - and that is with ANY of their product lines. It is not uncustomary to see a heartland rig of the same model year with major improvements. If Heartland decides the benefits of upgrading or changing are worth...

    Edge Shell Construction

    Redfish, I absolutely love the full body paint. I would sell our trailer for a full body painted M-22, but the wallet won't agree to the deal.

    Edge Shell Construction

    I was trying to cure my curiosity and could not find the construction details of the Edge. The Edge literature does not show it, but I did find the video on Heartland's website mentions the entire shell of the Edge is all aluminum. There is no wood in the structure. I assume that means the...

    edge m21 pricing

    When we visited the factory a few weeks ago, they said the actual cost for the full body paint AND the newly added clear mylar stone shield to protect the front cap from dings was costing alot more than the advertised cost on the MSRP sheets. If I were in the mood for a full body paint, you can...

    Pictures of New Red Graphics?

    We were there on July 10th amd saw both color graphics coming down the line. IMO, the red looks really good, however, I am a little partial to the North Trail graphics. Both North Trails and Edges come down the same line intermixed.

    Second Battery Solution

    I'm confused. The OP asked about an additional battery on an Edge, and so far the replies are from owners of other Heartland product lines. The Edge nose cap design looks like it makes battery storage very limited. Although some have sucessfully added another battery in other product lines, I...

    Pictures of New Red Graphics?

    Does anyone have photos of the new red graphics on the M-22? We saw them at the factory a few weeks ago, but would like to see them again to pass along to some friends. Thank you.

    Hitch receiver on the back of an M-18 for a bike rack?

    Our dealer welded a receiver tube to the rear of our North Trail that could hold a house. We love it. I have seen others bolt Reese, U-Haul, Curtis, etc. brand hitches to their trailer frames without welding. If you find there is room to bolt a car-style receiver to your frame, take...

    Shower Plumbing In M-22

    I have posted elsewhere about the shower in the M-22, but have a question or two... Why is the shower head plumbed from the sink faucet? Is it a cost reason, exterior wall plumbing freeze reason, or some other? Is there a potential future redesign for this shower plumbing? We are...

    Edge fridge

    I'm confused by the fridge. The brochure says the upper section is removable for larger items. Does that mean you can eliminate the freezer section all together if you don't use it to increase general cooling (cold - not freezing) refrigeration space?

    newbie with Edge

    HOLY COW! Now that's a bed! Thanks for confirming. I wish the Edge came in a model that had a bed that big with two additional bunks like the M-22. I'd be sold. We really like the Edge M-22 for our typical weekend-type of camping. We looked at the them first-hand coming off the assembly...

    newbie with Edge

    I think you mean your bed is 76" long. I don't know of an RV bed that is 7'-2" long in a travel trailer. I'm 6'-5" and have been looking for a looooong bed for years, and had no luck. If it is that long, please confirm... I may have found my next trailer!

    Slide on North Trail 21 FBS

    Mike, When we were at the factory a few weeks ago, the guy who walked us through said Hearrtland built their own slides - not Norco. They said that was also the reason we wouldn't have to wait too long to get a new floor for our slide because they could take it from the slide assembly line...

    Changes to 31BHD After Early 2009?

    We have an early-build 2009 31BHD. What changes, upgrades, etc have been offered on this model since our 2009 was built? I know of the following: 1) New Graphics 2) 15" LCD TV w/DVD (Optional) 3) Wall at foot of the bed w/entertainment center built-in 4) Electric and gas hot water heater 5)...

    2008 NT - Slide Leak

    Our 2009 31BHD is in at the "factory" right now for service on several issues, but the one closest to your issue is that our slides leaked and one delaminated enough that the base floor needs to be replaced. I initiated the call to Heartland after our dealer did not take care of business. To...

    Childproofing

    On RV.net some addressed the same thing with the slide switch. If I recall, someone put a locking thermostat box around it. Another thing you could do is to put another flip-style switch in the hot lead to the motor somwhere between the factory switch and the motor (maybe just by th motor )...

    front stabilizer jacks

    I'll bet yours is an early build. I'd call Heartland. I'd be very surprised if they don't offer to send them to you for free if you install them. Simple... a few screws.

    Shower in M-22

    Thanks again for another response to my questions. I am 6'-5" (well, probably shrinking to 6'-4" as I get older), and as long as I can rinse off some sweat and misquito spray before retiring for the night, I am fine. I assume they ditched the faucet on the wall because it would have to be on...

    M-22 Queen and Bunk Dimensions

    Thank you. I'm thinking wity my 6'-5" tall frame, I could slide the mattress away from the front wall a bit to gain a few inches if needed. As for the bunks, I think I could get several years with my beanpole son and daugheter who won't stop growing. That would be an insurance policy for...

    Heartland Factory Tour

    Northtrail 21 FBS water heater

    Sometimes I light the stove first just to purge air out of the line in our 31BHD. If the HWH does not light after 3 tries (if I recall correctly) because of air, the switch needs to be shut off and back on to reset the heater. Then it will start it's relighting sequence again.

    Edge M22 Door Hook

    You might try to replace the screws with some stainless sex bolts. They are bolts that looks like a barrel with a screw head, and instead of a nut for the other end, they have another screw that threads into the barrel. These would pass through the door entirely, but would never pull out. A...

    Intrigued by the Edge

    We have a 2009 North Trail 31BHD and really love it. Although it would be extremely tough to "downsize", some days we feel that we could really do better with a smaller unit for the weekend type of camping we generally do. Many times our discussions lead us to downsizing to get into a 1/2 ton...
