    Now a bent axle????

    we bought a northtrail 33 buds in Feb of 18. One year and a few months later, the Dexter Axle broke. My dealer went back and forth with Dexter because Dexter would not pay the labor to install the new axle. As it was mentioned below, I called and spoke to the VP of quality assurance. After a...

    Winter camping

    Thx for the input. I gotta have running water and have enough propane to run the furnace for several days. I also have a solar panel to keep the batteries charged. I’ve seen videos of what to use to put around the rv for skirting such as straw bales and tarps which have been helpful. I only need...

    Winter camping

    Great feedback. I think with two propane tanks I can leave it for a few days.

    Winter camping

    This has been my first year camping and will be hauling my camper (Northtrail buds 33) to my deer lease in November. Can anyone give me tips on keeping the camper warm and the pipes from freezing during my hunt? Also, I will be leaving it unattended for a few days during the season so...

    Replacing factory tv antenna

    Yes, the booster is on and it is a factory omni which tells me they put the least expensive one on given the many other corners that are cut when these are made. connections are all good and tight. The issue is reception, or the lack thereof when we are only 30 miles outside a major metro...

    Furnace power

    Thx for the feedback. I can’t tell but do you have a 33 buds? We bought a new one in Feb and love it but can’t get over how poor the interior trim, tables, kitchen sink etc are made. First the molding from the slide outs fell off, then the night stand in the master bedroom has split, then last...

    Furnace power

    I own a Northtrail 33buds and was wondering if someone could tell me how amps does it need to power it? I bought 2 Yamaha 2,000 amps to power the unit (ac included) but can’t find how much power I need for heating.

    North Trail buyer review

    Just returned from our fifth trip and reminded again how little attention Heartland pays to details. The tank handle has come off twice and of course the dealer was happy to sell me a “better” one that also fell off. Because there is no “owners manual” I have no way to know which jandlenis for...

    North Trail buyer review

    Ok, so I am three months in on our purchase of a new north trail 33 buds and wanted to give fellow members my review of the rv. We are 1st timers so I’ve got nothing to compare our purchase to but thought it would help prospective buyers. The owners manual that came with with it does not help...

    North Trail water heater, oven and black tank

    Well, if the owners manual from Heartland resembled anything like what I bought (north trIl 33 buds) perhaps I’d know the answer to your question. I believe it has the ignition spark like a gas grill does but even when I try to ignite the oven to get a pilot light, nothing. Also, you were spot...

    North Trail water heater, oven and black tank

    There is propane as the stove works but not the oven or the water heater.

    North Trail water heater, oven and black tank

    Ok, I bought a new north trail 33 buds and first off, the manual for it is horrible. It seems like they print a one size fits all manual for all heartland models. However, the manual has nothing in it about the water heater. My first trip with it last weekend found that the water heater...
