    Interior wall panel seam tape

    Hello all, have any of you procured the matching seam tape from Heartland for the wall panel seam joints. We have a 24RBS 2011 that I have made repairs and desire to restore to factory look. Appreciate the help or advise. Have not had any luck finding the tape to date. Gary A. Olympia, WA

    Upgrading tire size on North Trail 24BHS???

    I also have had tire issues. After researching and considering options, I simply upgraded from a bias tire to a radial tire of the same 14" size but went up a load range to a "D" from a factory installed "C". There was an immediate noticeable difference in reduced rolling resistance with...

    SERIOUS Blowout!!! (requesting alternate tire recommendations)

    I have received a good education from everyone here posting their tire issues. I recently replace four Duro load range "C" 6 ply tires on our 24RBS TT. With less than 4,000 miles on the rig and always parked inside when not in use and properly inflated at all times, these tires failed. First...

    Converter AM radio buzz

    We have a 24RBS and the 110v to 12V converter has caused a buzz on AM radio since new. If unplugged the radio is clear. Radios outside the RV but in the vicinity also pickup the AM buzz. Anyone experience this condition and found a simple solution? Gary in Washington State

    We have a 24RBS and the exterior amber light switches are in the vicinity of the doors clearly labeled. CO2 detector is down near the floor adjacent to the furnace and refrigerator on our model. CO2 detector also has a green light indicating it has 12 volt power. Hope this helps. Gary A.

    Looking for first RV - North Trail Calibur Edition

    Re: Looking for first RV You are wise to explore all the possibilites for your TT and tow rig. I use an 2012 F150 ecoboost 4 door short box to tow a NT 24RBS at about 6.000 lbs. The F150 outperforms and tows better than my older big block F250. Take your time and order the tow rig you want. Our...

    Towing a 24RBS with a Chevy Tahoe

    We have a 24RBS that we towed with a Ford Expedition. It was ok but not ideal although the towing capacity was under the rating of the Expedition. Just purchased a 2012 F150 supercrew short box with the tow/haul package and the 3.5 ecoboost motor. What a difference in handling and performance...
