    Tow Max...is it just me?

    Hmmm. I wish I had been on this earlier. We apparently hit something and blew a tire on our NT. Okay, we were told there is no way we can know if we just had a blow out or we hit something. Now after reading these posts... I wonder. We had NO IDEA, and by the time someone stopped us and...

    LOOKING FOR a used electric jack

    Wow, I've heard some real horror stories about buying things from Harbor Freight. We are sooooooooo no mechanically minded, I'd probably run like crazy the other way. The price is so much better though.

    LOOKING FOR a used electric jack

    Sorry! Tongue Jack... for our North Trail 21FBS. I thought what I said about Larry having to hitch and unhitch that it was clear. I'll be more careful.

    LOOKING FOR a used electric jack

    Thanks, Dan... I sooooooooo need to find a used electric jack, as apparently they start at over $200 to purchase. I wanted one for my husband for our 35th anniversary, but since it is on Monday, I'm gonna be late. He's a school teacher, retiring in May (yay!!), so have to be careful with the...

    Peter... couple of things. I'm glad you mentioned the chock not working for you. They sell an XL one and they specifically list our North Trail ... up to 30" width between tires. I'm going for it. SOOOOO easy compared to the BAL Xtended. and cheaper! Also, on the Fastway Flip thing.. :D...

    2011 heartland North Trail 21FBS We changed the bathroom door to roll behind the wall...

    We have a GEM of an RV mechanic. He's a genius. I WILL take photos when I get to the camper. I so hated that door being open all the time and partially blocking the TV. I love that he also made a strap that snaps to lock the door open when we travel. We have a little Yorkie that we have...

    Do you have your North Trail at home? :-)

    WOW, TeJay! Thanks for all the info. We are back & forth between Memphis & Forrest City, AR. Looks like we need to drain the lines, once we get close to freezing. Frustrating, as I DID put a lot of weight on the insulation features. Thanks again!

    James and Lisa's 2011 21FBS

    Guess we are part of your family now! We also bought a 2011 NT21FBS. Only we aren't doing so well with the maneuvering of it. Actually, we only drove it from the dealer to the storage place. Oh, and we got gas and stopped for dinner along the way. We are soooooo bad with the Wide Trax...

    Buying someting to cover slide out. Brands? AWNING OR TOPPER?

    Brian, thanks!!! Just what needed know. Curious though... are you familiar with the SOKIII? Wondered if it's worth the extra money. Unless I'm missing something, the only difference I see is that it's prettier, and maybe better aluminum? We plan to keep our camper for a long time but...

    Question on Extended Warranty

    Will do, Ray... Jim, I like that when you break down with the Good Sam Club policy, you call them the minute you break down. you tell me where you are and what's wrong and they coordinate all of the repairs. I believe that will make pre approval much easier. thanks for the reminder though...

    Buying someting to cover slide out. Brands? AWNING OR TOPPER?

    Ray, thanks for the 2nd name. I will compare the Carefree I found to the AS. I wish we didn't need one! Who invented sweet gum trees anyway? When I get it out of storage in a few days, I have to park it at end of our driveway (covenants). That's under huge literally 50' tall) sappy trees...

    Question on Extended Warranty

    There is an optional tire warranty that seems high. But we hAve no idea what the cost of trailer tires would be... and no idea how often people have trouble with them. Thanks for any constructive comments. ;) A.

    Question on Extended Warranty

    Honestly, have you guys who are so dead set against extended warranties even read then lately? Here is the info on the one we're purchasing. It's the standard Good Sam CLub warranty. its an exclusionary policy. I'm impressed! Coverage applies only to the component groups listed herein...

    Buying someting to cover slide out. Brands? AWNING OR TOPPER?

    Okay, two fold question: 1. What are the benefits, cost differences, etc. between getting an awning installed over the slide out versus a topper? Am I correct to assume the awning is not automatic, and can get torn up during storms when you might need it the most for slide out roof...

    Specs/measurements on Heartland slide outs

    I'm not sure this is the correct place to ask; hope so. My new TT is in storage, so I can't measure it! I've looked all over the internet, and nowhere can I find the SIZE of the slide out on our new 2011 North Trail 21FBS. I would like to go ahead and order the Slide out topper, and have...

    Touch Radio fuse for 2011

    That's good to know. When we traded our MPG in last weekend, it was stuck like that, scanning. I will know now what to do if the one in the North Trail does it. I so wish they would recall all of them and offer a replacement! Our new one quit working on day 2, but was fine the other 2 days...

    Touch Audio has to go

    This radio IS junk. The one on our MPG was terrible! First worked only with the remote... then it wouldn't work at all... remote or not. Heartland replaced it, and it worked for a few days. Then it just went ballistic. Spinning wildly through channels... what a disaster. When we decided to...

    Extended Warranties, How do I shop?

    I've looked at both... printed and marked the things that are the same. Both are exclusionary, but one is more direct in description. The good thing about the Good Sam is that every single item starts with {paraphrasing}, "... All parts installed by the manufacturer are covered EXCEPT..."...
