    North Trail heater fan won't turn off

    It has an analog thermostat and whether it is set to auto or OFF the heater fan won't turn off. The only other way I got it to stop(other than pulling the fuse) is to take the outside panel off near the exhaust and turn the fan motor from reset to the off switch position. It acts as if it thinks...

    North Trail heater fan won't turn off

    Hi all What I have is an issue with my NT 26RLSS. When it is powered up (battery or A/C) the heater fan turns on. No heat comes out and the a/c runs as it should but the only way to turn off the Furnace fan is to pull the fuse. I know that the thermostat is of the lowest quality but this did...

    30 amp power inlet failure on 26rlss Northtrail

    I will check the trash and see if I can find the old inlet and get pics on here. I agree that the tech was wise for using knowledge he had to guide me to the problem. What I don't like is if he learned this through other RVs having improperly secured wires it show a quality control problem with...

    30 amp power inlet failure on 26rlss Northtrail

    Wdk450 that is the one. It is in appearance similar to the original part but the material it is made with is thicker, the set screws that hold the electric wires are actually set up as a clapping mechanism as opposed to a small screw to hold the wires in place. The OEM part was inferior in every...

    30 amp power inlet failure on 26rlss Northtrail

    Well folks I ended up getting a new outlet from Amazon. I bought the inlet for $53.00 with free shipping and it was the ParkPower 301ELRV 30A Power Inlet, White with Stainless Steel Trim. The inlet was slightly larger in diameter than the OEM part but I just had to reem out the hole for it with...

    30 amp power inlet failure on 26rlss Northtrail

    Today much to my dismay I found that I had no power to any of our 2016 North Trail 26LRSS outlets ,A/C, or microwave. I trouble shot the electrical supply and all was good going to the RV. I called Jeff Couch's guys and they had me check the bathroom GFI and that was good. Being 1200 miles away...

    Fell in love and buying soon !

    Hi camping Sue Lynda and I have a 2016 26Rlss and we love it. Just got back from a 3 day weekend outing and had some very severe SW Florida rain and wind. All stayed dry and cool. We looked at buying used but found that here in florida the price of a used camper/rv was the same as a new one if...

    Anyone else own a NT 26LRSS

    Re: New Owner We love ours too but just wish we had the time to use it more. We are heading out the 30th for a 3 day weekend. During that time I will be treating the rv to a coat of 303 aerospace protectant. Not sure if it will do anything but I read good UV protection reviews.

    Lol Fred we still run in the house for"official"business. The sound system is really not the greatest. We have a Denon surround sound dvd set up in the house that is about 8 years old. It still works perfect but I am angling for a reason to get permission to upgrade the house system. I have...

    Hi Dewgs2 welcome to the site and congrats on the 26lrss. We just got our 2016 April 20th. It's really a2015 but I guess they start calling them the next year model in April each year. It is the exact model you have with a table and chairs. Listen to Fred (F_Goose) as he has had some great...

    Freezer cold but Fridge warm

    Thanks Silverado. I did figure out that I was just being impatient. I had adjusted that weird thermistat already but didnt think it would freeze so fast up top before cooling the bottom of the fridge. Good fortune would have it that I noticed the temp difference and switched the beer to the...

    Freezer cold but Fridge warm

    Dan I just checked again and it is a domitec. It seems that the freezer is now crazy cold and the fridge fins are cooling down. Is it normal for an RV fridge to cool freezer first?

    Picking up new RV Monday the 20th

    JohnD That handle really was a weird thing. I guess they don't use loc tite. We left Fort Mountain in Georgia at 4 in the morning to go home to SW Florida and went to the dump station. Being new to the camping life I just stared at the single handle preparing to drain the tanks. I was sure that...

    Heartland North Trail

    Hi Pierre My wife and I just got our 26lrss on April 20th 2015. So far we love it. We bought in Ohio even though we live in Florida as the prices here were way too high. We pulled it over 2000 miles so far with a Ram 1500 quad cab and it pulls very well. It has a nice floor plan and other than...

    Baker. I guess I should plan on an all afternoon check of the TT. I think I will set it up as if I am camping before signing of on the unit. Would not have thought of running the stabilizers down. We will be joining HOC. :)

    Thank you much for the tips Dan (or Ann). Videoing is a GREAT idea. We do plan to stay over a night or 2 for assessment. We hope to have the de weatherization done by them as we won't need to do it in florida. That is if the weather in Ohio ever warms up before we go up. Our sales Charles said...
