    New 2012 Heartland North Trail 21FBS

    We've had our 21FBS for about 2 and a half years now. Still loving it. Just wanted to put my name out there in case anyone has a problem or question specific to the 21FBS... Hope everyone is doing well!

    Hot Water Heater overheats and breakers tripping

    Re: Hot Water Heater overheats and breakers trippin I had this happen as well. I found a problem though. Mine would trip and I felt the breaker box in the camper and it was between warm and hot... I decided to check it out. I found several loose wires that were never tightened at the factory. I...

    ATF: North Trail - Bias ply tires on trailer

    If you're looking for replacement tires, good luck. I tried. I even asked Heartland to change their brochures to show they are NOT radial tires and they still haven't changed it. One of the many reasons I bought a Heartland was because I "thought" they had radial tires as stated in their...

    Tongue storage box.

    That is the exact box on mine... :-) Only difference is I have mine turned around. I know why yours is in that direction, but I wanted to get to my locks easier. It doesn't fly open or anything either.

    Tongue storage box.

    I have one on mine (a 21FBS). I removed the battery, cut a 2x6 to the correct length and filled the area where the battery was to have even height, bought a box from Lowes and then bolted it to the 2x6 I used to fill in the battery space. I mounted the battery inside the box. I drilled 8...

    2011 heartland North Trail 21FBS JACK SIZE?????????????

    Not too sure on that chock. I have the BAL and love them! I have no experience with the ones you are looking at. The BALs are only another $18 or so. btw... I don't get crazy with the Jr banners... I only fly a single Jr flag... nothing more is needed. People know who I like. :-)

    Front End Push-in.

    2011 21FBS with the same issue (has the diamond plating). Took it to my dealer under warranty and Heartland authorized the entire front cap to be replaced and reinforced. Done and it looks great.

    Fragile fender skirts for Northtrail with

    I have the same issue. The fender skirt on my left side has cracks at all but one of the holes. I called customer service and they said that there should have been brackets installed at the factory when it was built (they use aluminum scrap). Nope. Mine does not have them... mine is a 2011...

    2011 heartland North Trail 21FBS JACK SIZE?????????????

    There's your answer. Based on that, you need this one: http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/fastway-flip-6-automatic-jack-foot-for-2-jack/57757 Be careful though... ours does NOT have the flat foot that they show in their video and I worry that it won't be very "automatic".

    2011 heartland North Trail 21FBS JACK SIZE?????????????

    Angie, I'm here and I responded on FB too! I don't know the answer and mine is sitting at the storage lot too... working on finding the answer... the early indications is that ours has a 2 1/4" but I'm trying to verify.

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

    My North Trail 21FBS is sitting at my storage lot and I forgot to measure the distance from the back of the rear wheel to the front of the front wheel. I am wanting to cut 2x6 pieces to park the rig on when it is sitting at the lot. Can someone run out and measure for me? Please? :-) OR... if...

    Fresh water tank.

    Can someone answer this dumb question please? :-) I did have the same issue filling the tank but my dealer fixed it. No clue what they did though. I thought they said there was a "kink" in the fill line. Shortened it to fix it... "I think". Anyway, I filled my tank and used as much of the water...

    Trailer Brake Controller adjustment

    Agreed. Maybe the TT brakes are on so lightly that it is pushing/lifting the rear tires on the truck and the anti-locks on the truck are doing their job? I have a 21FBS and have pulled it with both my Trailblazer and my new GMC Sierra and the only issue I have is that after driving for more than...

    Need to mount a ladder

    Ditto! I have a ladder on my 21FBS... guess it just depends on the model.

    TV/touch screen speakers?

    You are SO RIGHT! I had it backwards. I have the Touch Audio and wanted to play the DVD audio through the TV so I could watch a movie when my wife was trying to sleep... ;-)

    The fan slows down...

    I just did some learning this weekend which I bet is the cause... Just above the range hood there are 3 wires that are joined together. Main feed, the vent hood, and then the main wire goes on to feed the over sink light and the main cabin lights as well as outside light. Way too much on one...

    Check all of your wire nut connections when you can...

    Hopefully this will help someone else before it's too late... I was camping this weekend and had the main cabin lights on... I was talking to my wife and the main lights just went out. All of the other lights were working (so I thought). While I was checking fuses, etc. the lights just...

    No lights in camper

    Hopefully this will help someone else before it's too late... I found the problem after tracing the wire through the camper... it was a wire nut above the stove vent hood. Dropped the hood down and there are 3 wires that are joined there. Main feed, the vent hood, and then the main wire goes on...

    TV/touch screen speakers?

    Re: TV/touch scren speakers? Definitely not hooked up that way at the factory. My stereo does not have the aux input either so even running a wire wouldn't help. I have a 2011 North Trail 21FBS...

    Question on Extended Warranty

    Angie, On the tires, I would say go for it as well. Our 21FBS's came with bias ply tires and I see all over the place that they have issues. The Heartland brochure has that ours come with radial tires, but they do not and they will not make good on it so be aware of that...

    Anyone have any camping chair recommendations?

    If you're looking for a "chair" and not a lounger, I know the beginning of this thread was about how bag chairs are bad, but that was until I found the chairs in the following link. OMG it is an awesome chair! The locking part makes it very supportive and you don't fall into the chair, etc. Go...

    Outdoor Grill Option

    I hear what you are saying, but I disagree. And... you don't know the entire situation, not your fault at all. The original intent of this was to find out about mounting the grill, not to vent and share my bad feelings. I apologize for that. This is between me and Heartland. The deal was made...

    Outdoor Grill Option

    I understand that you are fine with the grill and I am very happy for you. I am not. I really feel like it was a bait and switch scenario (yes I know Heartland would not do that intentionally, but it is how it feels). I saw the grill and "assumed" it was the grill I would be getting... it is...

    Outdoor Grill Option

    The grill I was shown was stainless steel. Heartland said they ran out of the black Rhino Grills for a time and used the stainless steel grills... of course that was the one I saw and thought I was buying. They were of good quality... the Rhino's are not worth more than $50 in my opinion.

    Outdoor Grill Option

    No resolution on the grill yet. Heartland called me today to tell me they would NOT take it back. Very surprised and disappointed with the response I got. With all of the people I have heard telling how responsive and reasonable Heartland was, I wasn't expecting that response... just means I...

    Water Heater Bypass location

    You are soooo right! But... my dealer didn't either. They just started selling North Trails and I think I knew more about the trailer than the guy doing the PDI with me. Not about TT's in general, but the specifics of the NT line. I don't know where mine is either by the way... hoping to find...

    Prefered Method for Tire Changing:

    I hate to raise the dead, but... I am going to always keep a bottle jack with me, BUT... I would like the trailer aid plus in case I'm in a bad spot on the side of the road, etc. Does anyone know if the Trailer Aid Plus works with the North Trail Wide-Trax? Thanks in advance!

    Hi OwensFamily!! Looks like you live in Missouri... where are you buying yours from? We bought ours from Byerly RV here in the St. Louis area. We just took delivery of ours week before last. So far we love it. We are complete newbies and have had no issues at all. I tow mine with a 2007...

    Rear ladder for 2010 21' FBRS

    I have a 2011 21FBS and my dealer installed a ladder on it before I picked it up. If someone needs the info, I can get the details for it... they said they got all of the info from Heartland. Here's a pic (sorry for the shadow).

    Outdoor Grill Option

    Hi everyone! We just recently (yesterday) got our 21FBS and we opted for the grill that comes with it... I must say that I'm not impressed with the quality of the grill at all. I'm going back to my dealer to see what my options are for returning it. My question... I cannot for the life of me...

    James and Lisa's 2011 21FBS

    We just picked up our North Trail today... looks awesome and we can't wait to take it on the road! Here are some pics... a couple of notes, we were able to somehow get Heartland to put the wood floor material down out of the Big Contry line and it came with a larger LCD TV than it was supposed...
