We have used this e2 hitch with our 2011 NT 28RBS for the last 4 years https://www.fastwaytrailer.com/e2-hitch. We have not noticed any sway from traffic and generally not until we get to about 30 mph winds. We do tow with a GMC 2500 HD truck so we do have a bit more weight there which might...

I have to say that I had the same thought and solution 4 years agon when we got our 2011 NT. Interesting that after all this time they are using the same design. Hope you have a great time with your new NT. Ours has given us many years of faithful service. John

Hey Chris, We had a very simlar issue with our 2011 NT. The problem was that the cables running the slide had become loose and the blocks were getting caught as the slide went in or out. It took me 3 times to get it right but since then I have had no issues. I highly recommend using some...

I had a similar issue in our NT. We have the slides with the cables that pull it in and out. The cables had become very loose and that caused the issues. If you have the cable system, pull in the slide and look at the cables. They should appear tight, if they are not then you will need to...

If you cannot find what you like from a normal manufacturers you could look at a custom build. They definaly can make a travel trailer for full time use. Not cheap and not light weight but pretty good builds. I know of one builder for sure that does TT's and there might be a few others. Not...

I had a very similar problem on our NT. It was what they call a Sail Switch. It is a micro switch that makes sure the fan is blowing before it will allow the furnace to fire. Sometimes ours worked and sometimes it did not. They are easy to repalce once you rip the furnace out and apart...

Is there a way to move thee sensors to a different tank? Thinking about when the tanks age out and you need to get new ones. Thanks, John

Since it is moving a some water you might look at the pipes on the intake side for a leak. It might be wet which would help you to find out where it is. John

Welcome to the Forums. Sorry I cannot help but I will bump the thread so that others can reply. John

We downloaded a copy of the slide out manual from the manufacturer and followed the directions. They were pretty good and with me and the wife both looking at them we figured them out. Getting to the motor and the cables was a pain. I was unhappy I had to do it at least twice. There was a...

Hey, We had a similar issue on our NT. With the slide closed, on the inside of the trialer go to an end where you see the slide components. Ours is a motor with 4 cables used to make the slide go in and out. The cables had become very loose over time and that was our problem. The cables...

Jim, I did not know this. Thanks for the suggestion I will check it out. John

Flipping and new springs should definitely help the stabilizer drag. We had to replace the steps due to the extra height of the trailer. We went with a 3 step Glow Step from Torq Lift. Might have need 4 as it turned out but it is working. I'm really happy we do not drag the stabilizers any...

I agree you should check the ducts first for blockages as that is easy to fix. In our NT the bedroom did not get much airflow. I taped off 2 of the vents in the back of the trailer (where there were 9 vents and 2 different ducts) and now we have much better flow in the bedroom. Make sure you...

Since every tow setup is different your best way is to hook up and go to a level spot. Measure from the ground to the top of the roof and from the top of the roof to the top of the AC unit. Add them together and that will give your max height while towing. I have rounded my 10 foot 6 inch...

Re: 2013 North Trail 28brs Spring Upgrade When we upgraded the the running gear a couple years ago we upgraded the springs to 5 leaf's. It seemed to lift the trailer which we needed and we have not noticed any stiffness in ride. We were so close to the ground we were dragging the stabilizers...

One other thought is if you are running the bathroom fan while flushing this too can pull the smell up from the tank into the trailer. For the most part we just keep a can of air freshener in the bathroom and give a squirt or two after use. Seems to keep the smell down for the most part. John

I had to replace ours and noticed that the screw holes in the new one were lower than the rest of the frame. I put some plastic washers on the INSIDE to make for the difference and now the screw holes are flush with the rest of the frame on the fender. Did it 2 years ago and I do not have any...

The OP in the original post said that the fresh water tank fell out and was caught by the wires and the underbelly. You have looked at the exposed wiring, is it possible the chaff point is up under the covering of the belly now? Not sure how you would troubleshoot this short of pulling down...

Not sure what you mean by incosistant breaking? If it is your break controller showing randome intemitiant disconnects you might want to look at the wires coming out of the under belly and going to the breaks and hubs. I had a rub spot there that was causing the breaks to short out when it...

Hi and Welcome to the Forums. In our NT we have replaced one of the chairs with a lazy boy. When I did that since I did not want it against the back wall I placed a piece of plywood behind shaped like an L so that part was on the wall and part on the floor. I took an old piece of carpet and...

Hi and Welcome to the Forums. I had the exact same secario happen to me last year. My fresh water tank slipped and I did the repair to it and pulled the underbelly. When we took our next trip the break controller kept reporting that the breaks as being connected and disconnected without any...

If you have a straight drop into the tank I a jet washer that inserts from the top and force flushes the tanks sides and bottoms. It works well and the sensors are clean and show correct levels until it fills and something gets on them again. I view it as a never ending battle. I tend to...

Looking at the specs on the website it says that you have a fully enclosed underbelly. You can verify that by looking and seeing if you can only see the discharge piping or all the piping and the ribs of the trailer underneath. If you can see only discharge piping and now ribs you have an...

Welcome to the Forums. Have you tried a second disk since that one failed? Maybe you have a bad disk? If that does not work, I would suggeest removing power from it and seeing if it resets. You might have to pull a fuse to do that since I think it is DC. Let us know if you need any further...

As far as bugs go I am hoping you just want to keep them out now and do not currently have an infestsation. What I do is keep a small bottle of Bug Stop in the nose and then once set up spray anything touching the ground. That seems to keep most of the ground bugs out. For flying bugs...

I have no personal expeiance but from what I have readi if you need a dedicated guaranteed connection about your only choice is satellite. You already know the issues and limitations with cell networks. Wifi is only as good as the bandwidth that the network has. Wifi ranger is great but if...

My NorthTrail also has a wide track. The X chocks comes in 2 versions one of which works well for the wider spaced tires. Nice thing is it should also work for the narrow tires if needed. John

Hey Jim, From what you describe you are correct about what the lines do. The single blue should drain the fresh water tank. The other two will drain the hot and cold lines respectively. I use them mainly to prep the trailer for winterization of which there is a guide on how to do. You...

If it were me I would completely power down the trailer and the re-boot it all. It would hopefully reset everything. That would mean pulling the AC as well as disconnecting the battery so it is totally dead. If you happen to have Solar turn that off as well. Once you power up try everything...

Bugs N All works great for me. Like it to get the bugs off the front cap also. John

Welcom to the Foums. I do not have a Mallard but it sounds like your slide out is not extending fully. In your packet of manuals there should be something that describes the adjustment process. If not replay back and I am sure another Mallard owner will chime in with help. Good luck and...

Don't have a Pioneer but if no one gives you a direct answer my suggestion would be to turn on the pump, open a faucet and trace the the noise. that should get you close and then look for access either under or behind where the noise is coming from. Sorry to not be much help but if you find a...

Re: Recliner By the looks of the model number I would guess you have a North Trail. We replaced one of the chairs with a Lazy Boy and it has worked fine. The tie down is still usable and it rides well. The only thing I did was build a stop that goes behind it so it cannot bew pushed back to...

I second the mobile service guy. Best money I spend every year is getting him to come out and deal with some small items after doing the bearings. He did 5 minute fix on the fridge that would have taken a dealer for ever. I also bought new axles and tires and found after a year that one of...

I have to agree completely with your sentiment. The cables on my slide all got loose and I had to pull the WHOLE fascia down to fix it. Not once but three times I think to finally get it completely fixed the way I wanted so they will not loosen again (full locking hardware on ALL pieces of the...

My new ones came with the rubber (the old one had something similar). I sealed mine up good trying to make it so they do not fail again. You might not need to but I feel it is good cheap protection against future failure. John

Second owners of our unit and we have enjoied it a lot. There have been some issues but it seems like all rigs have some issues. If your half way handy you can fix alot of stuff. Good luck. John

If the motor does die, once you find the motor look for a small square silver spot to plug the adaptor into. You will most likly need an extension for a drill to do this since when the slide comes in access to the motor gets further away. The facia on the slide would be an issue for me if I...

I ended up replacing both motors on our North Trail. It was water intrusion and I have since seealed them up well to keep the water out. In my case the motors would not work or worked very slowly. I agree on checking the set screw. They are pretty easy to remove from the trailer and work on...
