    Why aren’t North Trails more popular???

    In almost 2 years of owning our 2019 NT 27RBDS, in all the travels we’ve enjoyed with it, we have only ONCE seen another NT and it just happened to be the same model as ours in the same campground, but it was 2 years older! I don’t know if it’s a regional thing or just not promoted very well...

    Converting dual dump outlet to SINGLE!

    One of the few items of our North Trail that I disliked was the dual sewer connections, especially when the 2nd grey-water tank outlet was under the large slide and just behind the wheels, plus the pull handle was at an odd angle! So I decided to do something about it after 18 months of multiple...

    Laminated floor repair

    Has anyone else out there had the need to have their Heartland laminated floor repaired due to water damage and, if so, was the dealer successful in making it “invisible”? It was discovered in our 2019 North Trail, just prior to the 1st year warranty expiring, that the piping coming through the...

    Awning LED issues when rains .......

    This posted in another spot in the forum, but I’ve had no response there, so thought this might be a more appropriate spot to post: Has anyone else had issues with their LED strip in the awning roller, particularly when it rains? Our 2019 has had issues in the Solara awning LED strip since...

    LED strip issues in Solara awning

    Has anyone else had issues with their LED strip in the awning roller, particularly when it rains? Our 2019 has had issues since purchasing new a year ago, even after the strip was replaced by the dealer for the 2nd time a couple weeks ago. The problem seems to start when the awning gets wet and...

    Fresh water plumbing diagram 27RBDS

    Does anyone know if it’s possible to get a plumbing diagram for the fresh water lines on a 2019 27RBDS? I’ve recently installed a dual-stage filter system on ours under the island sink, assuming all fresh water runs through the water pump inlet in the island, regardless of being from the tank or...

    Homemade “snap-pad” substitute for Cheap!

    Because we have a North Trail 27RBDS, I wanted to be sure my fellow NT owners noticed the tip I added to the main Heartland Forum page under “Modifications”, in case you only follow the North Trail Community. For anyone handy with tools, and having a few extra leveling blocks laying around, this...

    Stabilizer pad option instead of “snap-pads” (low cost!)

    Perhaps others have come up with ideas to make their plastic or rubber stabilizer “pads” work like the costly “snap-pads” that are preferred by many, but with all the other accessories we’d like to add to our North Trail TT, it’s just not in the cards for us in our retirement years, but...

    Front bed upper cabinets

    Forgive me if others have made this suggestion already, but after purchasing a new NT 27RBDS a week ago, I was very surprised to find the upper cabinet doors over the bed opened from the center, rather than from the sides of the walk-around bed! We absolutely LOVE the amount of inside storage of...

    Loving new 2019 NT Caliber 27RBDS

    Picking up new 27RBDS this week!

    Hi all, I’m new to this Forum and looking forward to picking up our new 2019 North Trail 27RBDS Caliber later this week. We’ve been owners of Jayco and Starcraft TT’s, hoping this unit will be as much enjoyment and pain-free as those have been for my wife & I, especially with this one being the...
