    Tires/Axle

    Tire Went to the Heartland dealer in Palmer AK. Their technician looked at the tire and wrote a note to Heartland warranty office that they (the dealer) think the spindle is not straight on the axle. He told me that their experience with hitting potholes usually impacts both sets of...

    Tires/Axle

    Tires I'm in Valdez and the tire continues to wear unevenly. Max pressure on tire sidewell is 65 PSI same as on the sticker on the side of the trailer. I'm amazed that the product manager has "no idea on the tire wear". That comment gives me a lot of confidence in Heartland. If anyone in...

    Shocks & Generator Carrier

    I have an 09 26RK. Has anyone added aftermarket shocks (Monroe or Dexter), if so were they effective in controlling bounce? I also want to add a receiver hitch in the rear so I can mount a cargo carrier to carry a generator (when I get one). TTrox

    Yamaha Generator

    Based on the discussion concerning how much generator need to power the Apollo Half-time oven in my 09 North Trail fiver, I am looking at a Yamaha EF2800iC generator. I don't need a larger generator and this one is rated at 20.8/ 23.3 amps. Anyone have any experience with this unit? Thanks, TTrox

    Power Cord

    Purchased a new North Trail 26RK 5th wheel last week. After outfitting it, I was headed to the storage lot but could not get the last 4/5 ft of the power cord stuffed into the storage area. After several attempts I gave up. Even left the entire cord in the sun to soften up but to no avail. Has...
