    Carefree awning protective cover

    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...

    jackknife "pleather" faux leather peeling

    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...

    Roof cleaning, protecting and maintenance

    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...

Only have about 5 gallons in that tank now. I posted pics of our WD system for another JGC member and just...

    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee DIESEL

    Eddie 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...

    28BRS Front End Too Light?

    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...

    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee DIESEL

    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...

    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee DIESEL

    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.

    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee DIESEL

    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...

    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee DIESEL

    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.

    2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee DIESEL

    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...
