    Prefer chairs & table vs. dinette

    My North Country came with a wood/upholstered dinette ensemble. I want to remove it and replace with a table and chairs set like the 5vers normally have. I have been reading in the forum that some sets have folding chairs. Would anyone here on the forum who have this type of folding chair...

    White River Campground

    Dewwood, how did you like White River? We are looking at campgrounds around the Indy area and wanted to try it out sometime. Did you find the spaces large enough; level; nice fire rings and tables; etc.? Do you recommend them? Thanks!

    Have you seen what the Australians camp with?!

    RVcookingshow.com is the main site. There are plenty of videos. Wonder if this is where "TrailerChix" from "Trailer Life" got started!

    Have you seen what the Australians camp with?!

    I agree on the size issue. I wouldn't be able to turn around in most of their sizes. Re: the range, they are made by SMEV which was recently purchased by Dometic. I am in the process of getting one of those ranges for my TT. Somewhere I picked up a link to an RV cooking show/blog a lady on...

    Have you seen what the Australians camp with?!

    Camec.com is the RV parts supplier; Lotus Caravan is the travel trailer. You should be able to Google "Lotus Caravans" and find the site.

    Have you seen what the Australians camp with?!

    Recently I was looking around the web at RV supplies and came across an Australian company called Camec (Camec.com). It's interesting to see the innovations being used in other countries in the RV world. I got to wondering how their RV's (called caravans) might be similar or different than...

    ATF: North Trail - Replace built-in microwave with wall mount unit?

    ScubaDan, I feel your pain about the existing hood/micro as I have a '10 North Country with the same complaint. I just called Heartland to ask about doing the same change. Since mine is built with wood studs and the steel exterior, I was told I would have no problem changing because locating...

    Indianapolis area campgrounds

    Is there anyone on this forum that knows the Indy area campgrounds well enough to recommend? We are needing to visit Indy a few weekends per year and so far in researching online, cannot nail down one in the area that has a good and reliable review posted. I read here in the forum recently...

    Newbie Decorating Question

    I use "molly bolts" for anything too heavy for Commands but not heavy enough to require hitting a stud. Also, all models have studs somewhere accessible if you need to hang something like towel bars, tp roll holder, clocks, clothes hooks, etc. Just push in the wall paneling until you feel the...

    Installed a Backsplash

    I did the exact same thing two years ago as well. I used double sided tape in case we sell our camper or got tired of the tin panels look. Would like to see something like this at the design/build stage considering how close walls are to the cooking area. Now if I could just re-orient the...

    ATF: North Country - NC range hood vent cover needed

    Can you give me the manufacturer name and part number for the range hood exhaust cover on my 2010 N.C. please? The damper door seems to have "disappeared" since our last excursion, so I need to find the exact replacement unit. So many online retailers have differing dimensions that I am leery...

    Can We Install A Tankless Heater?

    I am needling my husband to figure out whether a gas tankless water heater can be installed in our NC 30FKS. The vin is: 5SFEB3426AE207376. There seems to be a lot of unused space beneath the sink area on our model that I would think Heartland could have utilized to install the largest water...

    No more open shelving

    Our '10 NC 30FKS has a couple open shelves above the microwave and refrigerator. These are ideal spots for the small appliances, but not practical during traveling. I discovered that the opening above the microwave was identical in size to the spaces above the sofa/dinette areas, which have...

    Power Washer vs. Hand Washing Alum Exterior

    I haven't seen anyone mention on here their use of power washing the exteriors. We spend the entire day hand washing and waxing our North Country which has the aluminum siding. Those ribs make for a lot of extra time spent cleaning and wiping. We know we let too much time lapse between...

    Chicago Area Campgrounds

    Your review is hilarious!! I couldn't stop laughing while reading this - and thinking about a similar problem with too many trees in a campground we tried out once! This story would be a great short film!
