Re: Brand new here and considering a purchase..... I recently bought my first "new" trailer. I would support buying "used" so the previous owner has hopefully worked out bugs from factory. You found something you like, now consider how it will serve your day to day needs to avoid...

My undermount kitchen sink leaked all the way around shortly after I got the unit. Dealer fixed it a week ago, started leaking again this weekend. I hate this thing. It also is not counter height and hurts my low back when leaning over to wash dishes. Anyone do a mod to get it the right height...

I had same issue. My shower trap came loose and shower leaked. It coincided with--was not caused by---gray being full. Wonder if weight of full gray tank pulled the shower pipe loose.

I have the same issue. I was hoping I could get a residential replacement. The 4" length is standard. I'm looking at something that curves up and out. That would help I think. Not sure what issues replacing with residential, even though the measurements appear to match. I'm quite sure there is...

You folks who take extra water, won't your tanks fill before your water runs out? Do you dump gray into black or what method?

Cool. I see DeeZee makes tongue boxes, but not sure if it fits on tongues with propane tanks. They have general boxes that might fit, too. Cool idea!

Just wanted to post that I was at the dealer (Webster City) yesterday and they took care of everything very well. The gray tank was fine, but the shower trap had begun leaking, so it ended up being a smaller problem. Thanks for the reality checks!

Thanks everyone. Being new to "new", I understood there would bre some fit and finish issues. They are taking care of everything today. I don't want to be too picky, and I don't mind a little DYI. Just wanted to know if I was being too picky...appreciate it. I do enjoy the trailer and hope to...

I have been getting advice on my tire underinflation in another thread, but hrte, I'd like a reality check on expectations for a new trailer. 2014 NT Caliber 30RKDD purchased 3/31/2014. I later discover it was built 3/13/2013. So on the lot a year: Here's the list after spending about 20 days in...

True. But I have the chance to make an impression as my gray tank blew today and I am taking it in tomorrow. A long, long list of issues. I'll create another post to see if it is "normal" for a new trailer.

Thanks! So helpful!

More good things to consider. My dry weight is 86% of GVWR- a14% difference. The tires were 24% underinflated. So far, the tire company doesnt have my specific info. I hope I can at least impress upon the dealer to never let this happen again. BTW, I discovered my trailer was manufactured 12...

I follow the "smoke means fire" inclination. I also know we all have to weigh advice, ratings, and make a decision. I have aTT, which is lighter than a 5er, but more vulnerable in handling in the instance of tire failure. As someone said earlier, IF my dealer takes any responsibility for the...

Thank you all for your thouhhts andcexperiences. Tredit Tire is the distributor of the tires to Heartland and I have talked to them . I will call tomorrow to get in touch with manufacturer, but running underinflated does create a potential problem with safety and warranty. I'll let you know what...

Ok. Thanks. The tire is Trailer King ST225 75R15. Goodyear says running underinflated causes undue stress on sidewalls, a key component of trailer weight support both parked and on the road. Can cause a blowout if the sidewalls are compromised in this way. Not about can it carry the load but...
