Thanks for the info Dan, I'll call them in the morning. Frank

What do I need to do to replace the door side wheel trim piece. Is this something that needs to be purchased through the dealer? I have a 2013 North Trail 22FBS Vin # 5SFNB2926DE251675. The area around each mounting screw is cracked and I would like to replace it before I leave it on the side...

I think I have a permanent fix for the flexing of the wheel skirt. I filled the cracks with hot melt glue on both sides. this seems to be a good temp fix. I took the hint from Dewwood and put in some bracing. I had some scrap aluminum from a siding job and cut 2 pieces where they were like...

I would like to find out if the Heartland Owners Assn. (H.O.A.) would consider offering a paid option for RVAssist Insurance. One company Seven Corners Insurance, is a free member benefit with Family Motor Coach Assn (FMCA) and Good Sam offers a fee based option $80 or $140/yr...

Bill, No, but what is to say that you use to own a motor coach (lie), sold it and bought a travel trailer or 5th wheel? My question is still "Could/Would Heartland owners organization sponsor with this Seven Corners Insurance, a group rate where we could purchase instead of including like FMCA...

Here is what you get from FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association) with your yearly ($50 new/$40 renew) FMCAssist Emergency Medical Evacuation and Travel Assistance Plan FMCAssist, an emergency evacuation/repatriation and emergency medical reunion benefit, is an...

Here is the mods I had done w/2013 22FBS. The panel under the above the sink cabinets can be pried open to run wiring. The thermostat mod was easy. https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/42428-2013-North-Trail-22FBS-Mods-I-have-completed?highlight=22fbs Frank

Re: Welcome to the chats! To help you back in: Before backing in to site, disconnect the wiring pigtail, and take off the anti-sway bar. Makes backing in a bit easier. Frank

Look into a Ram 1500 diesel w/speed trans. W/o trailer 25 MPG. w/trailer 15-18 mpg.

For your sake, don't go speeding through Sheriff Joe's town, because justified or not you could be wearing the orange jumpsuit or pink underwear. To wish ill on your fellow man is pretty small of you. Having a drink/(non)prescribed medication and being pulled over by the local law can put you...

That was why I went with the LUX. Besides, Honeywell does NOT support the use in RV's, where the LUX will allow their tech support any and all questions. The LUX is smaller than the Honeywell. Frank

Re: ATF: North Trail - Replacing analog for digital a/c thermostat Just added the fan hi/lo switch. Went to Radio Shack got a "Single Pole Double Throw switch. Drilled a 3/8" hole in the wall below and to the left of the Lux Digital thermostat. Works great, just be careful drilling hole, thin...

I ended up buying the King Control SL1000. Used it all season and almost eliminated all the weak signal no picture events. I think it was worth the 30 bucks I spent on it. Frank

The pump is located in the sink base cabinet right next to the door. It is where a third drawer would go if they didn't put the pump there. I'm going to look into an accumulator, I think that would solve the hammer issue. Frank

Since buying my 2013 North Trail 22FBS, I have had noise (hammering) when you turn on any faucet. Yesterday I cut an old thick mouse pad and put it under the water pump. This stopped some of the noise. I put some pipe insulation on the water feed lines under the kitchen sink. It seemed to...

That was the easiest mod. You shouldn't have to cut any wires. The wires on the thermostat are pigtails, if you pull on each wire you will find a wire nut on each. You will find that you will be able to maintain the set temperature from now on. The batteries are what powers your thermostat...

Re: ATF: Big Country - Are the new awning LED's standard? Here are some instructions for my LED mod. Purchasing info included for about $25. You can also purchase a 16' strip of warm white and make your own light card to fit inside your inside ceiling lights. You can make them dimmer or...

Thanks for the reply, the apps only work if you have nothing between you and the broadcast antenna or you aren't in a valley. Obstructions don't show up in these apps. That is why I'm looking for a good and reasonably priced signal meter.

Ron, thanks for the suggestion. From all the ratings on antennas I have read, the bat wing or the added piece put on some of these RV antennas is nothing more than a cash grab. The base antenna that comes on the Heartland rigs have the same ratings. The only thing to improve signal is antenna...

I use a program called http://antennapoint.com, with a compass, but it doesn't do the fine tuning. The new digital signal requires a more precise pointing than the old analog signal did. The other problem is; you may be camped in a valley or you have a hill between you and the broadcast...

Hi John, The last trip of the season was to Hartwick Pines SP, around Grayling. With you being from Jackson, you would most likely know where that is. I think I screwed up the antenna dial rotating the antenna so much trying to fine tune the stations. Before next season, I will have one, but...

I am looking for an easier way to find good OTA (Over the Air) signals. I've seen some ads for the "SureLock" signal finder, for the specs go to the hyperlink: http://www.kingcontrols.com/userfiles/file/SL1000%20SureLock%20Spec%20Sheet%20REV%20C_07152010(1).pdf Is this worth the money? Is...

We have the 2013 22FBS we love it. The couch is worth it. We have the Caliber edition, it's worth the extra cost.

Great job on the mods. I used a few of them already. I have the 22FBS and the interiors are just about the same, so you took out all the extra thinking on how to do the job right,to just do it. I started a new thread...

Re: ATF: North Trail - Replacing analog for digital a/c thermostat Just replaced my analog Coleman-Mach thermostat with a digital made by LUX. The LUX DMH110a works perfectly as a replacement to the Coleman-Mach. The attachment is photos & instructions to make the mod. Frank

My 3rd Mod is my RGB LED lights that run the width of the 16 foot awning. The attachment has instructions and photo as do the first two mods.

I'm having some issues with uploading the third mod and it's getting late. I'll upload tomorrow. Frank

Mod 2 Replacing the Coleman-Mach Analog thermostat with a LUX Digital Thermostat

MOD 1 Hatch Lift by Hatchlift.com Very easy mod and it makes Mama happy Frank

I have completed 3 mods so far. I put the instructions with photos into a .pdf file that you can open and/or print. Since I kind of new to this system, I think I will have to break this down into 3 separate entries

The USB thumb drive is a great idea, BUT, when I went to use mine, the ER doctor could NOT plug it into their computer. STRICTLY AGAINST HOSPITAL POLICY. I am a heart attack bypass patient. While working closely with my cardiologist and primary physician they gave me pages of my medical...

The only question I have on this topic is: "Why would you camp somewhere you don't feel safe?" Frank

Thanks Jim. I couldn't find exact duplicates at the local stores. I contacted customer service the week before last and a package arrived while we were camping at Ostego Lake State Park up near Gaylord, MI this past Thursday. These were duplicates of what was installed. I changed them out...

A couple of weeks ago I was traveling the Ohio Turnpike the day after the tornado that hit Moore OK, and was catching 40-50 mph cross winds. At one point I was doing a lot of fishtailing, luckily no real damage to the trailer other than 4-5 drawers flying out of the cabinets. The plastic stops...

A couple of the Ohio turnpike service area have an RV park w/hookup for $20.00. This is what I found: RV's - Travel Trailer Parking The service plazas listed below offer electrical outlets (20 & 30-120V; 50 AMP-240V), a wastewater dump station and potable water for a...

Are you any of the following: Active Military, National Guard, Reservists, Retired Military, 100% DAV. DoD Civilians? If you are look into Camp Meade RV Park at Fort George G. Meade, Laurel, MD. Was there for 8 days just after Mother's day 2013. Great Location.
