What's up with YOUR North Trail travel trailer?
- Thread starter campntn
- Start date
Congratulations, Japozniak! We are new owners of a North Trail 26RKS.
Took 2 trips & it is going back for some minor warranty items.
We have to keep it in storage but do bring it home to prepare for a trip. Our neighbors were so intrigued with it, they have just purchased a North Trail 32BHDS to accomodate their family. Go North Trail!!

japo,
Where will you be staying? I have always wanted to travel on that side of the Adirondacks and of course to attend Americade!
My Grandparents & now Parents have always had a place over in Cranberry Lake (St Lawrence County) so we tend to stay on the Western side of "THE Park". When we visit we usually ride up to Massena, or to Tupper, Saranac or Placid.
The only way to get DW interested in Lake George is to dangle the proverbial carrot; "Rachel Ray is rumored to be visiting her family at the very same time that Americade is happening!"
Enjoy your new rig and show us photos of the scooter nestled inside!

just read you note/ we just bought a 2010 31red and also looking forward to camping. It is quite cold here in Delaware but this to will pass/ good luck
31QBS summer of 2009 in Alberta
Our 31QBS has been great with the usual problems. The kids love it and want to go camping every weekend. It would be nice to keep them them out of the TT, as they now have much more room than the 22' (78 year) we first puchased as a trial. Will be back dry camping next year and thinking of buying 2-6 V batteries.
Just a couple of questions:
1. Fresh water tank really drains slow, if not at all), is the drain pluged?
2. Where are the best campsites 2 hours out of Red Deer

best cg out of red deer
First on all, to each their own for BEST.
There are a bunch along the Forestry trunk road just west Rocky Mtn house.
There are a bunch at Pine lake, Drumheller, West of Edmonton,
Sylvan lake, sundre, Red lodge park(bowden),
can log onto alberte goverment site and they have cg listings.
BUT THE BEST WAY IS, GO THE TRAVEL information place and pick up alberta camp ground book and it has most of them in there. I pickup a new one every year.
Then just figuer out what you want and $ spent, Good book and it's FREE
WE own a 31 also for 2 years and very NICE unit.

28 BHS owner here. Got it mid July of this year and have been going solid in it ever since. Going right till 2 nd week of Oct(Thanksgiving in Canada). WE LOVE it. I have had some issues with the camper, however, between Heartland Service,Midwest Ovens and my Dealer (Patterson Sales-New Brunswick) I have had a wonderful expereince.
Purchased our first camper a 31QBS last month and absolutely love it. My family and I made our first trip over the Labor Day weekend to Shoal Creek Campgrounds on Lake Sidney Lanier in Buford, Georgia. Had a little scare our second night when an alarm sounded at 11pm. Found out that it was our LP sensor, so I turned off the gas and opened up the windows. Funny thing is that I could not smell any of that rotten egg smell. Alarm kept going off for about an hour so i cut the wire just to get some sleep since no smell. In the morning I reconnected the wire and low and behold the alarm sounded. Found out the LP sensors are always defective, dealer is going to replace. Other than that had a great time and can't wait to take another trip.
New Heartland TT Owners
We are new Heartland North Trail 21fbs owners. We looked at a lot of other travel trailers but did not like the construction or weight. We have a '65 Airstream Globetrotter that is a pleasure to pull, but we wanted more comfort. Looked at new Airstreams but were disappointed with the cost and poor construction. We found the North Trail and made our choice.
We bought ours at RV Wholesaler in Ohio and had to go pick it up. On the way back, we camped in the Smoky Mountains.
We pull it with a 2006 Tundra,which is not a great tow vehicle, and wanted something light. It handled the mountains easily.
One of the things we liked about the Airstream was the rally's. We met a lot of great people and hope to do the same with Heartland.i

SO! Here's a new problem. 21FBS with delivery to me on 7/08. Fall 09 I had a SHORT in the ceiling lights, hood fan and porch light circuit-blows fuses as tho wires grounded or failure along the line. I discovered it late in fall and delayed working on the problem until today. I Called Heartland and they refused to send a wire diagram! (small fish in a big pond) Unlike Airstream and many other manuf. no documents were included in books supplied!!!!!!!
Dealer 50 miles away is no help---IDEAS???
