Good point! It WAS the gardner! And the repairman! And the _______man! That's me...hahaha...yea, it needed doing anyways.

Update: I will post pix when I'm done but here is what has happened and it's worth telling. LOL. I bought some romex wire and was getting ready to run it out there, 100 ft. In the process of that, I pulled up the old wire that was just laying on top of the ground. And to my surprise, it came up...

That's what it was. Battery was dead. I took another friend's word on that and he was wrong. Battery tested fine, took a charge and hooked up to truck, all is well. :) Thanks!

It works, everything is alright now....I think. Here this is a case of taking somebody elses word on something. The battery was dead, I knew that but forgot to put that in original post. I guess it just ran down over time with no charge coming from the house. Anyways, a buddy told me that the...

**Not sure which forum this needs to go into, so mods please move wherever you think is appropriate and where it'll get seen. Hi forum! Not sure how to ask this: Bottom line is I don't have any power in my trailer right now. 2009 North Trail 28BHS had LONG 10 or 12 gauge extension ran to it to...

I would say get the four way lug wrench and it'll be on there. I have one, but I don't know what size it is. I've asked a resource and maybe he can tell me soon and I'll post it here. And always get the jack on the frame, not the axle. Use a wood piece between the jack and the frame to prevent...

This might be a good question to put in the factory section.

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/02/14/fema.trailers.ap/ I haven't experienced warm weather in our new North Trail yet. I don't know how the formaldehyde odor will be. When we first bought our Outback, on the first warm day it was baaad. I mean really bad. I mean you simply...

Ours is the "breeze", sort of blue/tan/gray setup. We love it. Can't wait to see your pix. For your convenienc..there is a North Trail photo subforum..:p

Edmonton, those pix are of a 28BH model...the toyhauler like Medic has. It has the bed that pulls out. Good observations about the unit. Yes...North Trail is thinking ahead. I was thinking ahead as well. That's why we bought the North Trail. I like people that think ahead.

Jennifer..GREAT! I know the feeling you are going thru. Nothing like it. Be sure to take pix and post them. What color is the interior? Did you get the sexy rims? ;) Joey, I'm sure that you can't wait either. I was told ours arrived on Monday and I started calling early. It didn't arrive until...

Well hello there Smurfette and Longshot! We want pix!!! Glad you are on board with us North Trailers!

Ours has a sort of scooped out area to pull out. Although it pulls out easily, I'll think about that handle, probably not a bad addon. Probably a wider handle makes for a more steady pullout.

Hey everyone, before I bought our 28BHS, my dealer sent me these factory pix. I thought you'd enjoy seeing them. In these pix, you can see several details that make the quality of a Heartland North Trail stand out apart from the rest. Enjoy, Mark

Defeated Creek is one of the best campgrounds in Tennessee. You will really enjoy your trip there. We camped there with a group in 06 and it was too hot to make a fire. We contemplated putting a block of ice in a ring and sitting around to watch it melt. LOL. Somehow, it didn't seem the same. It...

Where do you live, what model North Trail do you own and what are you camping plans this year? We live in Jackson, Tennessee...(yes, home of the recent tornadoes) We are planning, tentatively, a trip north and east this year. We covered the west last year. Our kids will be 12 and 15 this...

Hi Jennifer! You and your family are going to LOOOVE that camper. Yes, sitting up beds is a drag. You've come thru the normal succession of camping junkies in a veyr short time: tent, etc. We get ragged by some saying "that isn't camping" when they see our trailer. I tell em, "I CAN camp in a...

Hi Marty. Yes, they did place a holder under the front street-side of the North Trail. It's a white pvc setup with a twist on cap. I believe some are using it and some are using a separate box stored in the storage area. Welcome!

Hey there Mike Creech! Thanks for listening to us on the forum. That's another good thing about Heartland is the direct communication found here and on the phone. Good job! Hey..that's a nice looking fiver behind ya there. I hope to see one this year. But, does it have sexy tires and a sexy...

umm, I guess I could add a smilie! :eek: Thaz what my eyes felt like as I skidded down the steps.

That is an awesome system. I am looking at it for a table next to the front door. That is ONE thing that I will sorely miss about our Outback. First thing I did was flip that built in cook center down and I had a work area to setup the trailer out of. I mean, the reality is that when you camp...

Great! I know when I was looking for ours, I called one dealer and he said "No, I don't have any now, but you can bet I'll have a lot full of em in the spring!..they're good trailers."

Snow? You've got snow? trade ya a tornado for your snow. :eek: It really rocked here this week. I live in Jackson, where Union University is/was. It's pretty devestated. Me andmy son are going tomorrow to help with cleanup efforts. But, I am grateful and blessed that it missed our road this...

I'm seeing more and more traffic on the North Trail section of the forum. Are you guys seeing more of them in showrooms? on the lots? in campgrounds?

I was going to post this in the North Trail area, but it is relevant to all trailers. When we first bought our North Trail I saw that HUGE safety handle by the entrance door and thought "wow, I'm not that pitiful..yet." That's a huge handle. Nicely made, albeit. And it folds comfortably down...

Hopefully the factory can chime in soon. I will be curious to know this answer. I love the looks of my "sexy bumper" LOL. But, I have wondered if it would change on later models.

What could make a diesel get less MPG? It was getting 21 on the highway, but now get's 17-18? Filter change needed? It's time for a service. I've never had a diesel before this one. Thanks! Mark 04 Chevy 2500 HD Duramax

I don't have one of those pull things to addon. It's like 60 bucks or so.

Well, hey...that's a setup now. I like ingenuity. It does give you lots of ideas though, huh? Thanks for that link. Mark

Oh yea, cranked on first pull. Noise level? Well, I don't have a "meter". I do have friends with ears who came over and said he was VERRRYYY surprised at how quiet it was. Quiet? No..it's not "quiet" but I have hear louder and I have heard quieter. For me and mine, for $289.00, it's just fine...

Hey Jim, do I get some sort of award for starting a thread that has gotten 1073 views and 39 posts?? hahah. Mark Oh, by the way, I got the Champion..thought I'd get to use it yesterday with the storms rolling thru, but I didn't..mixed emotions there. ;)

OH yea, I find more reasons to just "run out" to the camper. LOL.

Hey man, those are great pix! I do like the ramp. I tell you, had I saw one of those first, I might have held out for one. But, I got the sexy rims. :p kidding... Nice, very nice... Does that bed pull out to a 78"??

Hey man, Now we're talking!! More NorthTrail pix! Good shots. Can't wait to see the inside pix...Looks good. Just needs that electric tongue jack on the front now. :D

What do you guys think about that white tube for the sewer hose?? How has that worked out on your camps?

Hey, here is a link I found to this model: http://www.rvusa.com/rvinventory_item.asp?id=452770 To be honest, I haven't even heard of this model. I can say that I am very impressed!! It is essentially our model with 3 more feet. Inside that 3 feet is the bunkhouse. I LOVE that dinette idea on...

Hey, we've never been on a cruise. Thinking NOT the Bahamas though. Man, your cruise sounds like a blast. I hear good things bout the Alaskan cruises. Me..I need beach, sand, smell of suntan lotion, seagulls...palm trees, fresh shrimp grilled outside, sweating in the shade, walks to the beach...

Wow, I posted this only 12 hours, or so, ago and it's had 82 hits, 23 votes and 6 replies! That's a lot of hits and votes! Good goin Heartlanders.. As for us, we took our cross country last summer. I drove 6,487.3 miles in 24 days, we camped in 16 states and used $3,300.00 in diesel. I pulled...

There is talk about gas being $4.00 a gallon. If gas were $4.00 a gallon this year, HOW would that effect your camping habits?

haha, that's funny..I don't care who ya are. LOL. Yea, there are definatly more of us coming. Before I made the deal on mine, I called another dealership. I asked if he had any North Trail units on his lot (he was a Big Horn dealer). He said no, but he had a LOT on order for the spring 08! He...
