I didn't see anything for awnings so will ask here. I hope that's OK. :) There is something wrong with our electric awning. The In and Out switch has reversed itself. :( We now have to press In to extend it and Out to bring it in. What on earth? :confused: We can't understand this since...

We added soap shampoo dispensers in the shower and one of those open U shaped shower rods to give us more room in the shower. Also a hand soap dispenser and towel rack in the toilet part itself. We added a coat hanger with 8 pegs behind the entertainment center wall for jackets and coats and...

I'm not sure what we can or should do. I ready read that the 28BRS NorthTrail had inadequate axles for the weight of the trailer. Well now we found out. :mad: After no more than 3000 miles both axles are bent and all four tires are BALD on the inner edge... all threads are GONE. The tires...

Where is the girl's room? I can't seem to find it on the list.

We added one of those shower rod pooch-outs from Camping World to give us more space in the shower. We also added a cat-door in the bathroom door so the cats can reach the litterpan in the bathtub when the bathroom door is closed. I also hung a colorful curtain across the bunk area for more...

I told my husband a part was missing from the Microwave when he got home from Elkhart IN with our NT last year. The ring the glass turntable rides on was missing. The glass sits on the middle turning post and when food is placed on it, it flops around and hits the bottom as it turns. The glass...

What happened to the "Forum's Girl's Room" where we discussed decorating our RVs etc? I don't see it listed. :confused:

What we did to stop the feeling of falling or leaning toward the counters/sink/sofa. Not wanting our TT ripped up and "fixed," we now use the level on the floor instead of the counters. I made Heartland aware of the problem so they can talk to the builders of the TTs to make sure the...

We read the booklet that came with the TT and all it had was one paragraph that didn't apply to the 28BRS. We lubed the cable but see no rails to lubricate. All we see are plastic rollers... what part is lubricated on the 28BRS? :confused: Where are the rails and how do we reach them?

My husband got tired of messing with briquettes and finally bought himself a gas grill. It cooks much faster but gives the pork chops a strange consistency. A rubberyness. Anyone else notice that? Maybe I need to buy those with more fat on them. :confused:

It's great to be retired and take off at will. We'll be going to Tim's Ford SP for 5 days. It's first come, first serve so we may get a spot right by the water. This is a nice place with a lot of shady spots which is what we like. Most sites are fairly level so we shouldn't have a problem. ;)...

Just to let those know that HL Customer service contacted us about the issues with our 28BRS. I spoke to a very nice man and will be speaking to him again in about a week. They may be able to do something about the cabinets, but my husband wants to let it go after all this time. We'll make the...

The clear slider on one of our screen doors is sticking something awful. It wont slide back so we can reach/open the latch to go in or out. We have to give it a good rap to move it back. There is nothing in the track (we thought maybe a dead bug or twig) and it's not cocking. I oiled the track...

What next? :( We always felt we were kind of "falling" or leaning toward the slide or sink/stove side of the TT. It's not a comfortable feeling when cooking or washing dishes. The bathroom door always opened toward the bunks. But the level said the we were level. So I bought a few more...

Why were my messages removed telling people I cannot reply to private messages because I can't find the place to make a change needed to reply? I get this error: "You have turned off private messages. You may not send private messages until you turn them on by editing your options." I have...

I can't reply to messages as I get an error that I must make some change in "Edit Options". Where is "Edit Options" to make the change so I can reply to people who contact me from this Forum? This has got the be one of the most confusing forums I've joined. I've checked out all the buttons...

The top Title says it all. For some reason I can't reply to people. The reply just sits there. Thank you. The answer to the private question I can't reply to is my husband bolted the huge casters onto the rear ends of the BRS28 frame. This RV is much too close to the ground and we've already...

We're almost ready to leave with everything packed up. We'll be heading home to TN on Friday. It's been a great winter down here in FL. We'll be coming back to this same Resort Village next winter. I sure will miss all the new friends we made here. We'll be stopping in Atlanta for a few days...

We have a Maxxaire (sp?) cover on our Fantastic Fan so we can get ventilation in the rain. Well if you have the same setup, be advised when it rains like the world is ending, it will splash in the Maxxaire and enter the room if the FF cover is also open. I had to close the FF lid/cover. We had...

We can no longer leave the outside doors open for air. Our kitty Phaedra learned how to pull down on the latch and open the screen door. These are indoor kitties but she unlatched the screen door and stepped outside. She was tentatively sniffing the ground. The other two didn't follow her or...

The drain from the catch-tray was not clogged with debris/bugs/dust at either end and there was a little water in the pan outside. The ice is melting slowly in the catch tray inside the fridge. The only clog was the ice itself in the drain where it enters the catch-tray. There are small...

I mentioned before that we already had to replace the kitchen faucet because my husband couldn't find any way to stop the leak under the sink. Since the faucet leaked we thought that was the problem. We bought a new faucet and sealed the thing to the counter so it doesn't leak.... it's leaking...

Our RV has a Norcold fridge. Just this past week or so we're finding water in the crisper on the bottom. :( I'm talking a good 1/8". The veggies and fruit was all wet. Also there is water under the crisper and on top of the fridge door as if it came from the freezer door above. Mold was...

We're in Belleview FL, a little south of Ocala, in a RV resort for seniors. We got here Jan 2nd and will head for home the end of March. We should be home by April 1st. Living in a 28' TT isn't as cramped as I thought it would be. We spend a lot of time outdoors or off doing something. The...

Can someone tell me how to get rid of the awful rotten-moldy-dishrag smell coming up from both kitchen drains? :( It's not a black-tank sewerage like smell, but smells like a dishrag that's gone bad. We all know what they can smell like. The vent isn't clogged and the sinks are in use every...

Our NT BRS28 is winterized. We did her today and gave her a good cleaning, pulled the beds, shook out the throw rugs etc. But it wont be for long. We're hoping to head for FL the middle of next month. :) :D We'll pick a nice day so we can hit Atlanta before the sun goes down and the...

Is anyone wintering in the Ocala area of FL this winter? Loads of Canadians flock there in winter. We'll be in the Belleview (sp?) area a little south of Ocala. I'm not sure exactly when we're leaving here but already have a place reserved from Jan 1st to April 1st. :) Hubby is as happy as...

We went camping for a week recently and this is the second time we crossed paths with parrot owning campers. Thank heavens we weren't camped near them because these are noisy screechy screaming birds. They make the most irritating noises and squawks. I'm sure not all parrots are screamers -...

I didn't know where else to post this.... We just called the dealer who is supposed to honor our warranty on our BRS28 here in TN, and immediately ran into problems. Since we didn't buy it from this place in TN, they really don't want to work on our Heartland TT. We picked this BRS28 up in...

We see BigHorns just about everywhere we go. :) There's one here in Cage's Bend CG in TN. We saw one in each the CG we went to down in FL last Feb and March. That must be a very popular model. One day we saw the exact same rig we have, a NorthTrail, going in the opposite direction on the...

Our NT 28-BRS Was bought this past March. We've camped in it maybe 6, 7 times. The dinette seats are already flattening and collapsing and we just sit on them to eat. Comparing again.... our old 1982 Sunline, well used, did not have this problem, nor did the Zinger. When we got up from those...

My DH does the towing. I wont tow a rig this large. I help him pull or back it in to the CG sites. So far we haven't hit anything but both rear stabilizers were destroyed in campgrounds because they're so low. We replaced them with manual ones. The spare tire under the hitch is too low also...

We're getting ready this week to spend 2 weeks at Poole Knobs in LaVergne TN. We have a spot overlooking the beautiful lake. We have a spot reserved that's a pull-through, our favorite kind. We'll be leaving for there a week from today. We'll get to set up some new equipment so we have home...

I read and hear so much about fridge recalls.... just how dangerous are these RV fridges? We have a Norcold in our North Trail. How often do they cause fires? I'm starting to worry every time we leave the TT at the campground and are gone for a few hours or the afternoon. Our three cats are in...

How do I tilt these automatic awnings to dump rain water? We have the BRS28 and no choice as this is the awning that comes with this model. This past weekend it rained while we were gone from the campground for a few hours and we came back to find the awning full of water. Also, can someone...

How safe are propane furnaces? I remember an RV burning to the ground in a NY campground some years back. It was believed the furnace was the cause. No one was hurt but the RV was totaled and those on either side were damaged from the heat. Our RV is insured but our three cats, like members of...

Has anyone replaced those awful slider windows with jalousie/louver windows? I really miss these older type crank windows in the BRS. We have one slider that jams constantly and drags the screen back and forth with it. :( Also, ventilation is poor when less than 50% of the window opens...

When we bought our 28BRS North Trail, the salesman said the rear bicycle pull out rack was good for about 200 lbs max. I can't find anything online about how much weight can safely be put on this rack. The spouse has a motorcycle that's at least 350 to 400 lbs he wants to haul on it. I feel...

We saw a BRS28 just like ours going south on Rt 111 in TN last week. :D

We've only gone camping three times with our new 28BRS NorthTrail and both rear stabilizers have hit the ground and are now bent. They'll most likely have to be replaced at $70 each = $140. :( They're so close to the ground it's not possible to NOT hit the earth or road in campgrounds since...
