One month ago I took delivery of my new 2011 Greystone 32RL and love it! Went directly from the dealer in Butte, Mont. and headed to Oceanside CA. No major problems with the trailer. Found out the hard way that you shouldn't put anything heavy on the bottom shelf below the computer table. My laptop case with walkies and chargers were too much for the shelf on Calif's bumpy roads but I got it fixed. The other minor thing was the bathroom door from the hallway wouldn't stay closed and I was afraid it might break the glass door to the bedroom. Fixed it on my return home by putting a sliding latch on the top of the door. Absolutely no buyer remorse with this beautiful well laid out rig.
My question is, we do a lot of dry camping at the lakes here in Montana and want to be able to take along my 3000 watt generator that weighs about 88 lbs or so. Since Heartland didn't provide a hitch receiver and it looks like it might be difficult putting one on, I ordered a Curt trailer bumper Mount hitch and a carrier from Harbor Freight. I'm a little concerned that since the metal used in the bumper appears to be only 1/8" thick that if I hit any roads like I did in Calif, my bumper/sewer hose holder may not take the strain. Has anyone done this? Anyone have any suggestions?
