Our 3 year old awning seam threads near the RV have come loose at both ends. Most likely due to the sun in outside storage. I plan to repair the awning since the vinyl material still looks new.
Has anyone installed an aftermarket awning cover that will not require removing the existing awning...
We have a 2014 North Trail 28BRS and use the TT about 8 times per year.
Although we keep the jackknife covered, the material is quickly deteriorating or pealing terrible. This not from wear as expected, even the skirting is pealing.
I have contacted Heartland to see what they suggest. I have...
Just received new telescoping ladder and checked on roof. Pretty well built and in great shape considering its in full sun since the day she left the factory 3 years ago this month. Mild soap to clean...got it. Checked all caulk and in good shape.
No need to use a UV protector for a rubber...
We have a 2014 NT 28BRS TT.
I have not cleaned or inspected the roof yet, but just purchased a telescoping ladder to carry with us.
On a recent trip, a fellow TT with a similar unit discussed his maintenance routine (lube slide gaskets, clean and protect roof with 303)???
Can I walk on top of...
Battery box mounted on the bottom.
Storing items from the front storage area: cedar blocks, WD and sway bars, tool bag, wheel chocks, etc.
Tool box is all aluminum and new barrel cam lock installed to match the other storage doors.

Not sure if you have experienced the CEL issues with your diesel...but many of us have.
Here is another link specifically for our JGC. Lot of great info. Especially since I'm no mechanic.
We had many Engine light issues. Finally moved to another dealer/service dept and they are...
Congrats!
We have the 2014 28BRS, pulled with the 2014 JGC Diesel.
You will feel some pushing around for sure.
I've discovered the fresh tank was about 2/3 full, gauge said it was empty. Only have about 5 gallons in that tank now.
I posted pics of our WD system for another JGC member and just...

Will love to share some pics when I get "Lucy" over to the house this weekend.
It was some trial and error at the begining, but we can both learn together.
This is our 2nd TT (in less than 3 years), but had the JGC and the 28BRS for over a year.
This weekend I am installing a new aluminum...
Welcome!
We have the 2014 NT 28BRS...Love it.
It's our 2nd TT in 2 1/2 years. Named ours "Lucy and now Lucy 2" (from Lucy's Long, Long Trailer movie)
We try to get out for long weekends once a month in South FL...Fl Keys often.
Enjoy...we do.
Picked up a new 30 amp surge guard and 50 to 30 amp adaptor as suggested.
We used the 50 amp outlet for the first time for our 30 amp system.
However, the breaker on the post was well worn and tripped several times.
Moved over to the 30 amp outlet and no issues this trip.
Reported the issue to...
We upgraded to this exact same model...but I also purchased a new tow vehicle. I was not able to tow with same setup to compare. However, you're right about a little squirrly...I dropped our ball to level out the trailer and discovered over 25 gallons of fresh water in that tank. Drained the...
My "day job" is working in the chemical business, but not fuel. The company I work for (23 years) is 137 years old. Although small, it's the largest and oldest in our industry. So I get the branded aspect of various chemicals and the difference in "snake oil". However, being very new to this...
I'm on a Jeep Diesel forum as well. Very useful.
There have been issues with the injectors when using non-Mopar branded DEF.
Even though there are competitive products with same or similar specs.
Vehicle too new to experiment just yet.
But feedback greatly appreciated.
2 longer trips coming up in May...down to Bahia Honda SP near Key West, FL & west coast of FL... SE of Tampa.
Not much elevation changes, but better idea how this rig setup will handle.
hatch clears by 3-4".
Just serviced our JGC Diesel...Not only does it take 8 quarts of oil, the new oil filter is $60 MSRP (dealer was stunned and dropped down to $43) AND we discovered the DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) tank holds 8 gallons x $14 per gallon.
LOF is pretty pricy, but we really like...
any idea which bulb we need for our 2014 North Trail 28BRS interior ceiling lights?
Couple of bulbs blew recently and forgot to pull them to order new ones???
We are getting 15 MPG with the Jeep GC Diesel towing (26 MPG local driving). 420 lbs of torque...far better choice than the Hemi V8.
Have not opened the hatch yet...looks close as you noticed. could not put our tailgate down on the other truck either.
Good eye...The ball was dropped 2" after that pic was taken. Dealer didn't account for "normal" travel height on the jeep (equipped with Quadra-lift that can increase 3.5-4" from park to off road)
Very level now.
Enclosed pics has our WD and sway bar moved over from our last TT and truck.
FYI...we have been out twice since upgrading our TT and tow vehicle...both local.
There was some noticeable sway and felt like too much liquid in tanks.
Well, after some investigating and not relying on the new tank...
2014 North Trail 28RBS...this is my "2nd mid-life crisis" travel trailer in less than 2 years.
Glad my wife of nearly 20 years is also enjoying our new love. Helped also upgrading our tow vehicle...she loves it!
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel...yes, diesel.
Our "kids" are 3 Cavs and they...
We are fairly new to the RVin world...less than 2 years and on our second TT already.
Our "kids" travel with us all the time...
3 Cavs...Rusty, Scarlett and Bama
We recently upgraded our TV to the new Diesel. Tow capacity of 7400 pounds and 420 lbs torque.
On way to pickup our new North Trail 28 BRS TT, with a 15 mph tail wind, we achieved 32 mpg at 75+ mph.
Heading back with our 5200 pounds in tow, same windy conditions, 15-17 mpg at 60-65 mph.
