Hello Dave and Kim, A 22 fbs should not need heavier tires, just look at your weights to know for sure I will say however that I generally change out the tires to tires of my choosing and one of the thins I have learned is that A/T tires can often cost you as much as 2-3 mpg on the highway. If...

Hello Jeff, Jane and I are not going to be able to make the rally this year. I fell and tore my rotator cuff and they have scheduled the MRI for that Friday late afternoon / evening. We were already going to have to miss the Thursday get together, so it doesn't seem like there would be much...

Hello We have a north trail 21 fbs and it has plenty of room for a full queen. I am grumpy when I don’t sleep well so we have a regular “foam for our preference” mattress and love it. I extended the platform and made the underbed storage accessible from the end fwiw Don

Hello Budman, I recently got this warning on my GMC console - when my battery was dying. After I replaced the battery, the message went away. Don

The Truth is your TV can actually pull more than it is rated to pull. That is NOT the point. If you are in an accident or incident and you are overweight and it is discovered, you are screwed Do what you feel comfortable doing, gamble what you want to gamble, your money, your choices. I...

I tow a north trail 21FBS ( GVW 6900 lbs ) with a GMC 1500 truck. it is rated at 9500 lbs towing and has the 6.2l engine. It tows the trailer like a dream ( I got around 11 -12 MPG on the last trip ) My previous truck was a 2004 5.3l chevy and it was miserable to tow the same trailer. It was...

Hello Jeff, We will check in on the 18th and out the 22nd Don

Hello Jim, I am really looking forward to hearing how your truck pulls that trailer over the mountains. Let us all know what you think when you have had some time with it. Don

Hello, You will love the instant pot! the 6 qt is great, it will just do a pound of beans, easily a whole chicken, a great stew with leftovers! It is just the two of us and I don't think we would have been happy with anything smaller and have no need for anything bigger Don

Hello Jeffnkelly, Don & Jane Kyle plan to come 26ft TT

Granted it was a different time in technology, but I ran a K&N is my 2000 F-250 SD diesel for 200000 miles. I instantly added 1-2 MPG when I installed it and never had an issue. You must be very careful not to over oil the filter when you clean it, It it also handy to keep a spare paper filer...

I am more than a little annoyed at the concept of anyone pulling Heartland forum data so they can market stuff to me - just saying

There are no full hookup sites in Rocky, but there are a bunch right outside the park in Estes park. If you are looking for budget, try Mary's lake at around $50 night, there are several around the us34 entrance for 60-70 per night Sounds like a great trip! fwiw 550 was exciting in a car with...
