I own a 2010 North Trail 28RLS and I am replacing the DURO tires that came with it. I also want to fit tire covers on the trailer. I would like a one piece cover for each side. My wheel size is 14". Are tire covers available for the Wide Trax axle?

So what Travel trailer rated tires are made in the USA? My DURO's that came with my North Trail are cracking within a year of ownership. My North Trail uses ST205/75-14 tires. They are bias ply. If I go with radials I will need to purchase five tires. I went to my local America's Tire today...

Besides what Ray suggested try reprogamming your tv to the cable system. This is done with your tv's remote. You didn't say if you went to a different RV park when you changed over. On my tv I have to reprogram the tv to the parks cable system. This usually takes 2-3 minutes depending on the...

Re: Finishing Touches That single vinyl strap that holds the heavy sliding door between the bedroom and the rest of the trailer needs to be reengineered. The strap will not hold the door even around mild corners. Before putting on the panel that covers the back of the water heater, have a...

Don't forget the $3-4k extra cost for the 4 WD option. That's about 10-15 tows from a tow truck. Sure if I lived where it snows in the winter I would want it to, but I don't. My truck has a LSD and traction control plus M & S tires. I don't go where it snows or is muddy with my truck. As I said...

Jim, the snap didn't hold. Unlike a motorhome where if something happens while traveling, you can see or hear it and fix it right away, in a trailer you don't know it happens until you stop. Based on what I have been reading on this board, any model Heartland trailer that has this type of...

I am not sure if they could do this at the factory but I would see if you could get the 2010 convection/microwave oven with the better three burner stove. This also gave you an extra cupboard where the 2011 microwave went. If you do a lot of dry camping this might not workout as the convection...

Other then the 80 mile trip from the dealer to the RV storage lot this was out first trip. This is our first trailer and I didn't know what to expect in hooking up and the actual traveling down the road. It took us about 15 minutes to connect the trailer to the truck and we made sure the lights...

Thanks about the door but what does the factory recommend. When we first looked at our trailer at the dealer, the factory had a piece of wood wedged in for it's trip from Indiana to California. They obviously know about the problem. Adding two more straps which wouldn't cost them more than $2.00...

We took our new 2010 28RLS for it's maiden trip. Two things happened. While driving the door that slides across the bedroom entrance kept coming loose. The door is held in place by one vinyl strap. The strap would not hold the door in place on windy roads. Does the factory have a fix for this...

I use an outside filter that Wal-Mart sells. You connect it between the city water hose and the trailer water connection. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Camco-Water-Filter-with-Hose/14504321#ProductDetail

The covers I have looked at have a tie down on the front. Unless you get a custom made one for a specifc make and model, they fit a different size range and you should have no trouble fitting the cover to a North Trail. Just make sure you get the correct sizerange for your trailer.

Did the dealer charge you for going over the trailer? The dealer should have vacuumed that out before you took delivery. Call them up and ask them if they want you to hire someone to come in and clean up what the didn't do and send them the bill or send someone from their company out to where...

I just picked up my new 2010 28RLS. While doing the walk through, I spotted a water outlet on the right side. All other outlets are on the left/drivers side. There was no label on this outlet, I asked the person from the dealer doing the walk through and he said it was the black water flush. So...

Having some knowledge of sheet vinyl installation, there are basicly two types; full spread and parameter. Full spread means the adhesive is spread on the area that the vinyl will be placed. The parameter installation is where a 4-6" width of adhesive is spread around the parameter of the floor...
