I’m taking my North Trail camping at Yellowstone this weekend. I looked at my drain and the opening in the colorplast thinking about tucking it up in there. What’s the idea of keeping the drain from freezing? Just to prevent damage there? Or is it to be able to drain the potable water completely...

Well, my Heartland is a North Trail so maybe a Bighorn owner will reply. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You don’t have to cut anything open, but you do have to get down on the ground. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought AGM to replace flooded lead acid with exact same fitment code to fit in my battery boxes. When I returned the AGM yesterday, I asked CostCo Auto to show me the ah rating of the flooded lead acid. The AGM were placarded 70ah. Their catalogue has dashes in place of ah value for flooded...

That’s 8 amp-hours less in my two battery North Trail. The benefits are no maintenance plus better tolerance to vibration and...

Upgraded my North Trail to AGM batteries from CostCo for $400! I was replacing them in the campground, but CostCo assured me they were fully charged and ready to plug and play. They both went dead and the heater stopped working the first night! When I got home and put my charger on 2amps it went...

I paid dealer for second battery and easily get through 3-day weekends on battery only. Buy a generator. I’ve got Honda 3Kw pull start. My buddy had inverter (and solar panels) installed that power his drip coffee maker. I prefer percolator over noisy generator. Tv and A/C and M/W need AC power...

carl, do you weigh your truck and trailer separately and combined before every single trip? Asking for a friend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You said exactly what I was thinking! Plus, I didn’t say anything about ‘overloading.’ I just said I got air bags to help with weight in the bed while towing. Suddenly I was a criminal. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
