    Tow Chains broke free

    This past weekend coming home, our tow chains broke free from the frame right after we took off. I have no idea how this happened, same length as always, hooks in same place on tow vehicle, front jack all the way up, hitch bars tightened the same as we have been using for the last...

    Thor buys more brands

    Thor Industries bought an old Monaco plant and the rights to the brand names that were left when the old Monaco towable division was shut down. http://www.rvbusiness.com/2014/02/monaco-workers-regroup-look-for-work-again/...

    My stupid trick for the year.

    Leaving Huntsville State Park yesterday, pulling into the dump station. The guy ahead of us comes running out (he was in our larger group) and said it was going to take him a while there - but if we pulled around to the other side, that direction was open. This caught us a bit off guard as we...

    Heartland RV is Partnering With Breckenridge

    http://www.rvbusiness.com/2013/07/heartland-rv-is-partnering-with-breckenridge-2/ Isn't Breckenridge under the Keystone umbrella? Not sure what exactly this entails but it looks like this is just for the park models.

    Michelin Tire Recall

    I know several people have Michelin LTX tires on their tow vehicles. They are recalling a bunch that were made last year and this year. http://www.michelinman.com/voluntarysafetyrecall I checked and while I have 18" LTX M/S 2's, mine were a different size than being recalled.

    Replacement Propane Cover Door

    Does anybody know where I can pick up a replacement access door for the plastic cover over my propane tanks. A couple of trips back it did not arrive with me to the campground. :p I had read on rv.net that someone had found replacements on amazon, but I had no luck.

    Difference - Full Profile vs. Mid Profile Fifth Wheels

    Not sure which forum to put in, so stuck this here. What exactly are the differences, size? construction? weight? amenities? I'm assuming that Heartland's Luxury fifth wheels are all full-profile - correct? So what is it that makes a Sundance, Greystone, the XLT versions, differenet...

    Anybody Installed a Folding Outside Hand Rail?

    Our NorthTrail 31 QBSS has one by the front door, but by the back door it only has the small grab handle. Our oldest daughter is mildly handicapped and so I'm going to install one by the back door to make it a bit safer for her going in/out. I happen to have one of these kits that I bought...

    Could I use a 50 amp EMS on a 30 amp trailer?

    This might sound like a strange question, but reading the thread about all the fiver guys that carry and use extra 30 amp cords for big trailers in a pinch got me to wondering. Since I need to buy a EMS, could I just buy the 50 amp version and do the reverse? I'm going to be buying the...

    ATF: North Trail - Where exactly is TV mounting support on 31 QBSS?

    Going to be mounting a swing-out TV mounting bracket on the wall of the bunk room (same wall where the cable drop and electric outlet are). I've been told there is a mounting backer plate on the wall that starts about 45" off the floor and ends about 53". Is this correct? Also, how...

    We Have a (un)Screwy Vent

    in our bathroom. Seems to open itself up while traveling. My wife noticed it on Saturday when we got to the campground - she came out and said she didn't remember leaving the vent open before we left. Then yesterday, when we were home and had finished cleaning out the trailer, a storm...

    Marathons vs. Tow Max

    Finally picked up our Northtrail yesterday from the dealer where it's been ever since we bought it. Hopefully all the issues are over. We shall see. We have the TowMax Power Kings on it - ST225/75R15 Load Range D. Been reading a lot here and elsewhere about the general unreliability of...

    Can you Subscribe to a Closed Thread?

    I tried and it appears not to have worked. If not, how do you "save" a thread so you can find it again easily?

    Floor Construction Question

    We are going to be getting our trailer back soon. We picked it up and discovered the first trip out that the wardrobe slideout leaked and the outside shower was not connected properly and also leaked. So the back bedroom had some water on the carpet/floor for a few days. The dealer has dried...

    Question on brakes

    We picked up our 31 QBSS a couple of weeks ago. On maiden run when we pulled into the campground, noticed at very slow speeds, every single time I applied the brakes, the trailer brakes would lock up and we would hear it slide. Forward or reverse. I didn't notice or hear anything at...

    New Owner - 2012 31QBSS

    Just picked it up on Friday. Took it for a test run at Fairfield State Park over the weekend. As of Sunday at noon, it's back at the dealer. Leaking rear wardrobe slide - post more detail on that existing thread. Then while trying to clean up the mud from the torrential downpour - found...
