Planning on visiting upper part of the Baja this winter, staying in San Quintin, Guerrero Negro and Santa Rosalia. Any suggestions on RV campgrounds in those towns? Any caveats for crossing the border in Tecate? Thanks!

Thanks for all the input! The tires are Power King Towmax radials. I've been good about maintaining correct inflation. They're due for rotation, will have the experts scope things out. Neither my eyes nor my measuring devices are top of the line. By the way, what is the recommended rotation...

I have 16000 miles on my EDGE M21 trailer. Just noticed that there is more tread wear on the outside edge of all 4 tires than on the inside edge. A possible cause of this condition is bent axles. I put a straight edge on the bottom of both axles and found that both are about 1/2" higher in...

I finally got meaningful answers from Matt Cameron in the Heartland parts dept. The paint is apparently a custom mix with 5 components, and you have to take the formula to a Diamont paint dealer to get a batch mixed up. I'd never heard of Diamont before this, have no idea where one might find...

Thanks for the reply. Half the battle is won: confirming that the manufacturer, name and number are corrrect. The other half of the battle is finding out where I can get the paint: what is the name and contact information for your vendor?

Hello Heartland. Hello, hello! Is there anybody out there or this a vacuum? I'd appreciate an answer. Hello!

Thanks for the tip, debunk. I'll check that out if Heartland doesn't come through.

I have some chips in the white exterior paint of my 2010 EDGE M21, so I sent an email to Heartland customer service asking for touch-up paint information. They responded with a copy of a fax that appears to be one page of a multiple-page order or invoice. That page contains these clues...

We’ve just spent 3 months traveling in our M21, logged 12000 miles on all kinds of roads, from Arizona to Minnesota to Alaska to Oregon – a thorough test. Suggested improvements: 1. Awning. Move it about 2’ towards the front. a. When awning is extended, the entry door bangs into...

Thanks for the input. I've been using SILOO brand all purpose white lithium grease on the ball and WDH friction points. The 'automotive uses' listed on the tube include chassis and springs, but I'm wondering if there's something that would be better. Anybody? Any highly-experienced grease...

My new EDGE M21 trailer creaks loudly, even on fairly level roads, especially when turning. I think the noise is coming from the suspension/leaf springs/frame. I've sprayed all the contact points on the leaf springs with WD40 a couple times, but that didn't seem to help. Suggestions on how...

Thanks for all the comments and input, guys and gals. I didn't mean to inspire a replay of the Lincoln/Douglas debates. For the record, I can afford the $130, I agree that it's not worth the effort to pursue Heartland or the window maker any further, that accidents can and do happen, and...

Not sure if M21 and M22 have same large window but probably do: it has one strut on each side and 5 thumb latches. So, the cost I mentioned was for 2 struts plus shipping from factory. My dealer is 1500 miles away, so I ordered direct from the factory.

I got the Atwood deluxe with 2500 pound capacity and it works fine, saves a lot of hand cranking. I have a weight distribution hitch and Atwood recommends the 3500 pound model for WDHs. Trouble is, they don't tell you that in the ads; found out when I read the owner's manual. Both my trailer...

Warning: Window blowout! I'm posting this in two places (General; Design Ideas) because all owners need to be aware of it, and maybe the factory will do something about it. We were recently camped in Death Valley NP without hookups on a very hot day with wind gusts up to 35 MPH. No hookups...

Here's a couple pictures of the M21 with Herculiner brush-on truck bed liner on lower portion of front end. Herculiner also comes in gray and red. There are probably other protective coatings that would work as well, didn't research all the alternatives.

This was first posted in the Prospective Owners forum in error. It will be more helpful to existing owners in this forum> On our first long trip with our new M21, we spent 2 days on roads recently graveled because of snow and ice. The gravel beat up the front of the trailer pretty bad, lots...

Okay, went ahead with sofa modification. Here's the drill. Remove both seat and back from jack knife hardware - and the hardware itself from the plywood base. Stow the seat and hardware and forget about them until you sell the trailer. Replace the seat cushion with good quality 2" memory foam...

The jack knife sofa in my M21 may work well for sleeping but is uncomfortable for seating: the seat is too high off the floor and is so deep that you need to tuck a couple pillows behind you when sitting up to the table to eat. I don't care about the sleeping aspects because there are only 2 of...

Yup, the strut or shock or whatever you want to call it, has a stop when the window is about 30 degrees out. Push it out gently and slowly and it should catch for you.

I'd like to add a roof access ladder to the rear of my Edge M21. Is there 'blocking' or 'backer' in the roof and rear panel that will support a ladder? If there is, can the factory send a diagram that shows exactly where the blocking/backer is located? Thanks!

Thanks! I'm surprised the M21 doesn't have front stabilizer jacks. Any comments from M21 owners regarding the need for them?

Thanks! Just to confirm: it's 21 3/4" from pavement to bottom edge of coupler when trailer is level, right?

What is the coupler height on the Edge M21? I have an M21 on order, and am in the process of sizing and ordering a weight distribution hitch: so, need coupler height to order correct shank. Thanks!

Thanks again everyone. I have enough info now to choose the right stuff.

Thanks for all the great input! I'll be getting a WDH with anti-sway. Any comments on styles, types, or brands that are best - or those to avoid? And, lastly (I think) is installation best left to pros or can a reasonably intelligent and handy person do it at home?

Thanks for the input, Jon. There were no ifs, ands or buts in your advice, so you view it as a must. My limited research lead to me think it wasn't really needed with a lighter trailer like the M21, 4000 pounds and change fully loaded. Comment? Anybody else want to weigh in on this?

I'll be pulling an Edge M21 with a 2009 Tacoma Prerunner SR5 double cab 4x2 longbed pickup with sport suspension and tow package rated for 6500 towing capacity. GVWR is 5350. GCWR is 8100. Should I get a weight distribution hitch? That's the same as an equalizer hitch, right?

I really appreciate that you respond so promptly (even though I was hoping for a different answer). I'm going to investigate changing out the fridge myself so would like to get more information, specifically: what is the model number, and what are the dimensions of the cabinet hole that it fits...

Will likely order M21 in next few days, but don't like the single door SS fridge. Is there a 2-door fridge with enamel finish available to replace it? If there is, what would be the price difference? Thanks!

Thank you!

Re Edge M21: how long is the 30 amp shore line cable that comes with the rig? Is there a sewer hose included, and if so, how long is it and what fittings come with it?
