    Keep messin' with it-----latch screen open and retract a couple of times. It will usually fix itself.

    Best Tires for tow vehicle?

    Original Michelin LTX M/S had 60K + and had months more life in them. Replaced them because of winter weather with Michelin Cross Terrains. Even wearing, smooth, quiet, and long wearing.

    ATF: North Country - EZ winterization

    I winterized mine a couple of weeks ago. Put the hose in the gallon jug and watched nothing happen at first. Follow the hose to the first valve---open---follow the hose further down the line----probably not far---open that one too. That was the one I didn't open ---almost two gallons...

    ATF: North Country - Water Leak into front bedroom

    I'm going to take a guess that it is the seam where the front cap overlaps onto the roof. Mine leaked @ this spot. Don't know how this seam is sealed(yours) at the factory but mine barely had enough caulk to span the joint. IF yours is sealed with the self leveling Dicor you might have to really...

    ATF: North Trail - Front cap

    vdubee, what was the factory fix............another bead of caulk on the front cap/roof seam? The NT front cap looks similar to my Edge cap. Probably the same issue as my Edge too--inadequate sealing straight from the factory. Looked at other brands Mon. and just for kicks I climbed a ladder on...

    2011 Edge M18 Roof Maintenance

    Dave, If you get on the roof to inspect the caulk seam at the front/rear cap where it meets the roof you should see the issue. The caulk, in my opinion , is barely adequate to make the trip from the factory. These two seams are the most critical leak points on the roof. Since I had water...

    What am I missing?

    How many other lines has Heartland picked up in the last year? Along the lines of Colorado's thinking----is the Edge a victim of not making enough $$$$$ for the manufacturer? With the other lines acquired has Heartland eliminated the "less" profitable and in a sense bitten off more than they can...

    Lousy caulk = Roof leak

    I'm glad you have gotten a very reasonable life out of your roof caulk..........."My" situation is not the same. I stumbled on the Edge M-18 post. Hopefully my situation is not prevalent throughout the Edge lineup but owners should be aware to check it out. I'm sure you have many more miles on...

    Lousy caulk = Roof leak

    I'm glad you have gotten a very reasonable life out of your roof caulk............which is "my" point. I think the caulk on "my" roof is/was inadequate and it's lifespan the same.

    2011 Edge M18 Roof Maintenance

    dq72---yes keep an eye on the caulk. Bob---I'll use Dawn from now on---a lot cheaper. TT was bought Feb.2010. Have no more than a dozen trips on this unit. All trips within an hr of home with the exception of one which was 3 hr. Obviously we can not compare a home and TT roof but when the...

    Lousy caulk = Roof leak

    Yes, I figured this would be a final fix. Prep is the majority of the work. I probably have a couple of years before the five pounds of caulk on each of the skylights goes to crap. The bead of caulk on the caps was not much larger than used on the rest of the trim on the trailer.

    2011 Edge M18 Roof Maintenance

    I clean mine with roof cleaner from Walmart camping section. Check your caulk which forms a seal at the front and rear fiberglass caps where they meet the roof membrane. It will leak, it's just a matter of when. I just posted my issue of "Lousy caulk = Roof leak" in the Edge section but it moved...

    Lousy caulk = Roof leak

    Looking out the window waching it rain..........Reminds me of a project I completed in late July. After a rainstorm in July my wife says" The camper is leaking." Oh goody! Both nightstands on each side of the bed held neat little puddles of water. Open the closets and the wallpaper is bubbled...

    Tire Clearance

    If your TT is even halfway level side to side that is no way normal. The dealer doesn't have another to compare it to? Bent axle? Broken spring? --I can't believe they can not find something obvious wrong with the trailer

    Towing an "Edge"

    Your Borrego is more than enough vehicle to pull your M-21. From your description it sounds as if the trailer is swaying............front to rear load distribution, towing speed, and hitch set-up will all effect the way it tows. Is there a lot of gear in the front/back, how fast are you towing...

    No longer making Edge!!???

    First things first--after quite a bit of research we purchased our M-22--1st TT purchase----SOOOoooooo I have nothing to compare this TT to. But 1st impressions usually leave a lasting impression. The unit is unique and good looking but less than stellar factory quality control, the use of less...

    How are jacks attached to the frame.

    My guess is a combo of cheap hardware and overtorquing at the factory. Unless you purchase graded hardware(and even then) it's all Chinese crap.....

    How are jacks attached to the frame.

    I had 3-4 heads sheared off--replaced them with real hardware--bolt,lock washer,and nut. Lock a set of vise-grips on the top side of the self-tapper and turn it a few threads to release it on the top side of the frame.

    Maiden voyage

    Update on our trip last weekend to/through the Adirondack Mts.: Ridgeline did fine with a big appetite for fuel. Ended up being closer to 3 hrs than 4. Great weather during travel there and the stay. On the way back a torrential downpour halfway home--standing/running water on the road--no...

    Power King Towmax STR tires

    After 2 weeks of asking for a response to my claim TBC Brands rep. finally looked at my photos I e-mailed them while I waited on the phone. Reply was we will cover up to $80 per tire, fax the receipt for the replacement tires to us for reimbursement. I suppose fair enough TBC. I will remember...

    Looking into a New Heartland EDGE

    megabusa---Bought an M-22 Feb. 2010. Dealer also 2 1/2 hrs. away. Here is MY experience as of today: My first TT and I relate it to buying a new auto only more so. Each dealer sets their own price so their is no real baseline go on when discussing price. I found prices for my TT range from 25K+...

    m22 or m 232?

    Yes the bathroom is the sore point of the M-22 design--it needs to be the M-24 for tub/bath combo fit. As camr said --all of our grounds so far have had shower access. The shower does in a pinch--all the while you bump the walls concerned about flooding the floor. Not to hijack the decision...

    Power King Towmax STR tires

    Not getting a warm fuzzy feeling dealing with TBC Brands so far......the initial employee seemed very put out just taking my info. I e-mailed pics of the tires and waited a couple days. Called back and talked to another, asked if they received my photos,claimed yes. I asked if there was any time...

    Tow Max Tires

    Just talked to a customer service rep @TCB Brands for a warranty claim on my Towmax STR Powerking tires on my M-22 purchased Feb 2010. All four sidewalls weather checking. Rep seemed pretty put out about taking my info......We'll see......... Not over 6 trips last year all w/in 1 hr of home...

    Dinette bed

    There is a board specially made for this --try looking under the bunk mattress or the queen bed. If not there call the dealer--it should be there.

    Maiden voyage

    The CO 2 detector should be hard wired into the trailer electrical. Check the replacement date on the CO 2 unit itself. I had one on my M-22 with a replacement date of June 2010 when I bought the unit in Feb. 2010. I think your smoke detector is eating batteries. Try a different brand of...

    Be Sure and Inspect those wheel well tubs after a rain

    Re: Be Sure and Inpspect those wheel well tubs after a rain I too found water that made its way into the left rear storage under the bunks. Swelled up the sawdust board covering the very rear of the wheelwell in the storage area to twice its normal thickness. I'm in the process of replacing the...

    Light Switch Under Cabinet in Kitchen area of M22??

    Maiden voyage

    The M-22 weighs approx. 3700 lbs. dry. All my trips last year were 1 hr. or less from home on relatively flat stretches of road . This year I plan on taking a 4 hr. pull through the Adirondacks in August----mountainous, hilly, switchbacks......... The trip would be a 3 hr. jaunt w/o the trailer...

    Maiden voyage

    Ditto on what Yellowreef said....I almost didn't buy the TT from the dealer when the salesman stated I would have to install a WDH before I could pull it off their lot. I pulled it 2.5 hr on the highway to my house----no problems at all. After last season, we have accumulated a lot more gear...
