    Thank you for the kind responses. Yes, the pooch loves the chinrest. LOL The park was not busy, but that was fine. It was great to get out. Thank you for the info on the Michigan HOC rally.

    Maiden Voyage 2017 22FBS Caliber

    It was a fantastic nine years with our 2009 21FBS, with many camping trips. We lost a fender in South Dakota, the only major thing that happened. We are the proud owners of a 22FBS. The couch, additional floor space, appearance, the great appointments offered by the Caliber package, and that...

    Detroit area MARVAC show

    Haven't posted in a long time, been busy camping. We attended the show and purchased the display 22FBS from Lloyd Bridges. I have to agree the show should be changed to the General RV show. We normally attend the February show for the discounts on camping.

    Using Fresh Tank

    Yes, I have opened the freshwater tank valve, and the valve I closed is the one for winterizing the rv with antifreeze. It is rather perplexing.

    Half-Time Oven Issues?

    Contacted Apollo, when using the Half Time feature treat it like a microwave. Use only oven and microwave safe cookware, i.e. oven safe glass. The halftime mode uses convection, and microwave at the same time to speed up the cooking. The oven's factory tray is used for both halftime, and...

    Half-Time Oven Issues?

    Metal Cookware Half Time Oven Question: When cooking using the halftime mode can I use a metal cake pan? I was thinking about baking cinnamon rolls using the micro/convection mode, and it dawned on me microwave+metal= sparks. I realize there is a "special" metal tray in there for half time...

    Using Fresh Tank

    Did the one faucet at a time, verified all the valves, it seems like air is getting sucked into at the pump I even plugged the tube for the antifreeze fill. When I use city water, everything is good, which is leading me to believe there may be a hole somewhere between the freshwater tank, and...

    Slide Out Water Leak

    Yeah, it makes you feel good when the factory steps up to the plate and offers the assistance. I took a lot of pictures, Mike e-mailed pictures back showing possible culprits. National RV Direct went right to work on it, and did a pretty good job. There are still a couple of minor caulk gaps...

    Using Fresh Tank

    During dewinterizing, and sanitizing, I bled the air out of all the water lines, hot and cold. I still noticed air belching when I pump out of the freshwater tank. I verified the valving, and it is correct. I pressurized the system, and turned the pump off. The next day, I turned the pump back...

    Slide Out Water Leak

    Update Had good communication with Mike at factory, narrowed it down to a few possible culprits. Dropped it off at dealership. Dealership worked on top seals, stated it wasn't rubbing against top of slide enough to keep water out, which caused it to come into the camper, and flow down the...

    Slide Out Water Leak

    Quick update, Heartland has already responded to my dilema, requesting pictures, and the dealer name where I will be taking it. Now that is encouraging. :)

    Slide Out Water Leak

    I hope I posted this in the correct section, if not, moderators please move. Thanks. During the recent wet weather, our slide has been in the extended position. Yesterday we found water on the floor, under the dinette seat towards the trailer front. Upon investigation, I found a joint, that when...

    north trail 21fbs vs. edge m21

    The dinette does become a bed, however; it does not use the table top. In the under bed storage area, there is a piece of wood that is used to form the bed.

    Novi Michigan RV Show 2-11 thru 2-15

    Hi All, We attended the spring RV show in Novi yesterday. I was surprised how many dealers were represented, and from different parts of the state. Of course with this many dealers, there was a lot of manufacturers there too, and it was fun to compare the different layouts, etc. The campground...

    North Trail Owners Manual MIA

    I did call the factory two weeks ago, was transferred to Gary, and I left a voicemail for Gary requesting a manual. I still haven't got it. I would much prefer to have the factory original rather than download several pages from the internet and staple together. Jim would you please check...

    North Trail Owners Manual MIA

    Thanks for the info, found it, and it shows the cargo capacity, and fresh water weight. I guess I am used to the stickers with my previous campers showing all the weights including the shipping weight of the camper itself, with AC, LP tanks, etc.. Thanks for your help, it is very much...

    North Trail Owners Manual MIA

    We brought our North Trail home this past Friday, the dealer went through a good PDI for us. At home we pulled out our Heartland Owners bag, to go through it, and the "Heartland Owners Manual" is missing. Additionally, our camper does not have the "official" weight sticker posted anywhere. I...

    New North Trail 21FBS

    Hello everyone, We went through the typical stages, our first camper was a Palomino PopUp, followed by a Rockwood Roo Hybrid. While browsing the internet, I saw a SunValley Bridgeport, liked the layout, it had a slide, and looked large for a 24' camper, best of all it was within my perceived...
