    Feedback to Heartland on 21FBS bed

    After taking two weekend trips in our recently-delivered 2011 21FBS, I wanted to provide the following feedback to Heartland: We ordered the upgraded pillow top mattress, hoping it would be a worthwhile upgrade from a standard RV mattress. Unfortunately, we did not find this option to be...

    my 21FBS gray tank drains slow (do they all do this?)

    Hi folks! We are the proud owners of a new 2011 North Trail 21FBS. We had our first camping trip in it this weekend. For the most part, everything went great. At the end of the trip, I did notice one thing at the dump station. On our 2008 Rockwood 2605, pulling the gray tank's valve handle...

    water filter options on the 21FBS?

    Our 2008 Rockwood 2605 came with a whole-house water filter installed right at the water pump, complete with a charcoal filter. This was great because no matter how nasty the water was at the state park, the water tasted great in the trailer (cooking in kitchen, brushing teeth in bathroom...

    A new wide-axle wheel chock is coming to town...

    Hi folks, BAL has a new X-chock on the way for wide-axle trailers: BAL X-tended Fit X-Chock This is a great approach because it does not require ground contact. One can be used on each side, even if one side is up on leveling blocks. - Chris

    We just ordered our 21FBS...

    Well, it looks like we're now members of the Heartland family! My wife and I placed our order for a 21FBS today. The only factory options we got are the aluminum wheels and the pillow top mattress (I think we can get that in the 21FBS - guess we'll find out on Monday). We also got a slide-out...

    The 21FBS sink...

    Hi all, We are looking forward to purchasing a 21FBS next spring. I keep looking over pictures online and everything looks perfect to me except for one aspect... The angled sink seems awkward to me from the pictures. Also, there doesn't seem to be a lot of countertop space for use while...

    Suggestion for the factory - LED lighting package?

    Hi all, This is a suggestion for the Heartland factory folks. It seems like lots of RVers like to upgrade to interior LED lighting to save on battery draw. Most folks end up buying LED modules of questionable quality from a variety of online sites, and the results are mixed. It would be...
