    Blackstone instead of RVQ?

    Yes! Exactly like that. What is that thing called? And would it work with the fold down bumper tray? I’m worried whatever supports that won’t work since we have the tray. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wilderness vs North Trail

    We have a North Trail. Not sure how they differ, as we didn’t look at wilderness at all. I fell in love with North Trail, and then did some research on the construction and felt they were a top of the line trailer, and went with it. The azdel paneling instead of luann really sold me. Chris...

    Can you post the specs of your truck? Payload capacity from door sticker, axle weight ratings (both front and rear), towing capacity, and hitch capacity? Also, what is the gross weight of the trailer and the estimated tongue weight? I tow a 33BUDS with my 2016 Silverado, so I would guess you...

    Drop down grate/bike rack

    I’m going to respectfully disagree. Mounting the bikes on that rack is easier than putting them on my old hitch mount bike carrier. Load them on, alternate the handlebars, and strap them in place. Easy peasy. One ratchet strap is perfect to secure them to the tray and their upright bar...

    Question on the Refrigerator

    We actually called the North Trail rep while at the dealer to see if we could order ours with that option (you gain a TON of fridge space) and for the 2021s they haven’t added it. We decided we wanted the North Trail/heartland construction and that was worth sacrificing the fridge. Chris Sent...

    Question on the Refrigerator

    If it is like the fridge in ours, and I’m guessing it is, these fridges do not run on 12 volt. There is a button though, that will make it automatically switch over from shore power to propane. Chris Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2021 North Trail Caliber 33 BUDS - 2016 Chevy Silverado...
