Re: Poll: to cover or not to cover over winter? Well, there you go. That's why I ask questions, to learn things. It must do more harm than good. Around here though it seems that about half the rigs I see have standard blue tarps on them and the other half have nothing. I can't recall ever...

Re: Poll: to cover or not to cover over winter? Thanks Gaffer.

Thanks for the replies everyone. This was on level ground and no sway bars were in use. I just peeked underneath the trailer and everything looks normal. On the other hand, I don't know what normal looks like. I will have the dealer check it out when I bring it in. It was dark at the time, but...

Newbie RV guy question. I was told not to plug in a space heater over 900 watts or it will fry my electrical system in the trailer. Is this true?

So I just got my first travel trailer (NT 27RBS). I hope to use it at least a couple of times before winterizing and parking for the winter. But then .... Do I throw a tarp over the top or not?

I just had my new (to me) 2012 North Trail 27RBS delivered yesterday (my first RV and my new truck isn't broken in yet). When the guy was backing up in my driveway there was this horrible metallic screeching sound coming from the wheel / axle area that sounded like he had run over a metal chair...

Thanks to all for the replies. I don't plan to live in the snow - had enough of that for one lifetime - but am bound to get some short term freezing temps at some point. I will read the suggested guide and see what I can do to insulate...

I am buying a new 2500HD Duramax diesel truck to tow my 2012 27RBS. I've read here that a longer wheelbase is generally better for stability. IIRC, there is a 10" difference in wheelbase between a shortbed crew cab and a longbed crew cab. Would that make much difference in towing? I would prefer...

Just bought a 2012 27RBS and wondering how low the temperature goes before you stop using it? Is it possible to use it when it dips below freezing if you keep the heater on?

Well, I ended up buying the 2012 for $7k less than I could get a new one. It's in great shape and I am excited to have my first travel trailer and join the community here! The differences between the 2012 and 2014 model years seem minor so far...

I have a chance to buy a used 2012 for 5k less than I could get new one for (mostly due to the $3500 cost to deliver to me on the west coast). What changes have been made since 2012 model year on the North Trail 27RBS? It's kinda urgent - I might drive 3 hours today to look at the used...

I am about to pull the trigger on buying a 22FBS, 24RBS, or 27RBS (after I find a dealer where I can compare all three) but I have some concerns after reading many of the posts on this site. I know that no brand is perfect, but some common issues with the NT are alarming. A number of people...

Is it possible? Where did you install it? How did it go?
