We have a 2008 North Trail 31BHD and also have the problem with the spongy floor. It is most noticable down the center from the front couch to the start of the back bedroom. The dealer is taking no responsability and the factory CSR listened to us and had us send pictures but then they talked to the dealer and decided it was sold as a new unit but as is with no warrenty because it was a bank siezed unit from a bankrupt dealer. Pretty disappointed in the heartland product. There were several small issues that we just fixed but this one is more then I can handle on my own.

I purchased a model 26rls trailer camper around May 2011. Everything looked great but it trips a lot few minutes after you turn on the A/C, water heater and ref. Heartland should recheck the size of wiring circuits with allowable tolerances. I returned my camper 3x for repair. Heartland please make this model as reliable as KZs. Headaches and stress can kill at 108 degrees temp in okj.

We purchased the 21FBS 2011 model and have loved every thing about it except the radio/DVD player. We cannot get good reception from the radio anywhere. The dealer replaced it once already and said it is doing all it can do. We camp in some wooded areas but normally without many trees over our camper. I figure you should get as good reception as you would in a car. Actually I have a clock radio in the camper and it picks up just fine. I'm wondering if we put a different antenna on the camper if that would help? Other than that We LOVE our North Trail!!

We noticed a posting about a 2008 North Trail 28BH with delaminated front and spongy floor near sink area. We too have experienced these exact situations. Just wondered if others had too? Otherwise we have no complaints and have loved the unit. Just hoping front and floor hold up!

As a career RV tech, I am somewhat impressed with the North Trail coaches, and I am hard to impress!! I get to fix all the things you never see upon delivery. My only BIG gripe, which could become a killer, is some Wide Trax suspensions can (and have) gouged the steel LP pipe between the front and rear axle. I know, because I have repaired 3 in the last year or so. Do yourself a favor and slide under your coach and check for this. Most dealers don't. It could save you and your family's lives. I am currently trying to get a recall started on this. If you find this on your coach call the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 Thanks and safe, happy camping to you all.

Have you checked your steel LP line near the Wide Trax link between front and rear axle ? The rocker link can hit lp line-I know-I have fixed several before customer's taking posession. This is damage just from the factory to our dealership.

We just drove our first TT back from Elkhart. 26LRSS. AWESOME AWESOME. We were concerned about the towing with a 1/2 ton RAM. This trailer handled like a dream. We saw other TT's on the road and they were flopping and swaying. We were solid. Not sure if it was because we got the equalizer anti sway or the wide-trax system for the NT but we were NOT disappointed. We can't wait to head out the door

I just purchased a 21FBS. Nice trailer but a few things would make life a little simpler. Why put the interior lite switch up on an over head cabinet. You have to get in to turn the outside lite on. Put it just inside the door down low on the side of the counter cabinet where it can be turned on from outside after opening the door. There is no battery cut off switch. $5 item. Cost cutting? Only lite trailer with a raised wheel well in the dinette foot area. Inconvenient and in the way. Necessary to remove the dining table to close the slide. Inconvenient. Make cut outs for the two legs and leave the table in place. Cheap stereo/dvd/speakers. After all these litte things this is a great towing trailer, its quiet inside, lots of floor space, great bathroom, looks great!

We purchased a 2008 NorthTrail
28' BHS. Within first year front cap delaminated. Also during first year complained about a slight popping noise in the floor as you walked in front of dinnette and kitchen sink aisle. Dealer could never duplicate noise. About 6 months ago the floor has become very spongy in a 4-5' area as you walk by the dinnette. Wrote factory about this and they said our trailer is out of warranty. I mentioned this problem was probably due to poor materials and or poor workmanship. They basically blew me off. We like the trailer just wish the factory stood behind a problem they know they were having.

I would like to purchase a North Trail but the 280BH is just too long. Does anyone know if the 21FBS is available with the ramp door and fold up bed. I would buy it today if it were available. If you have any info I would appreciate an e-mail at ericka@amassoc.net

I just towed home our new 28 ft North Trail with a baic 1/2 ton and could not believe it. It towed better than our 2006 2200LB Bantam flier.Awsome trailer!

We can't wait for our new TT to arrive from the factory- I can not believe all the benefits to owning a North Trail- upscale RVing with low scale pricing! Thank you North Trail

We purchased the 2009 26rks for all of the great storage and private bedroom. We looked at many other brands, but the storage, 2" walls, enclosed underbelly, and not having to trade up to 3/4 ton truck sold us. Great product!!!!!

We are the proud new owners of a Heartland 21fbs. We believe you won't find a higher quality ultralite on the market.

We looked at the 28RLS at a show last month. We were very impressed with the quality and the fact that it is an ultralite means we can move into a quality 28' without changing tow vehicles.

I think this is a great RV. I like the ultralite aspect and I particularly like the ramp door access with the 280BH. After reading this I went to a dealer in Durango, CO and looked at what they had. We currently have a Keystone but need something with more facilities for our needs. We need to look at more but the North Trail looks real good.
