    Slide Awning Rolled Up Onto Slide Out

    Greetings all. On my 28brs I had a Dometic slide topper installed on our slide out. On our first trip we noticed a bump and the slide tilted down when viewed from inside, when extending. Looking at it from outside I saw the roller tube had rolled over the slide flange and was now on top of the...

    No Sealant Under Slide Out Flange?

    I have had a slide out leak for some time with water dripping from the front inside corner of the frame. I found that the very thin line of caulk applied to the outside top edge of the lower flange had cracked. I poured water on it and the water immediately ran out of the bottom, inside of the...

    28brs slide out leak

    Greetings all. I had maintenance done on my slidout last October by a shop recommended in these forums. They replaced the Eternabond tape on top and did some caulking around windows etc. Now the slide is leaking at the forward interior corner of the frame when the slide is out. Doesn’t seem...

    Eternabond Tape on Slide Failure

    Hi all. On my 2013 North Trail 28brs’s slide out roof the sealing tape is coming loose. I suppose the only fix would be to remove and replace it. If so, if you have experience doing this job please post how you did it. The local rv repair shop does not know what Eternabond is! Thanks, Ray

    '13 North Trail 28BRS Spring Upgrade - go up 1 rating?

    Hi all. I have a broken leaf in my right rear spring and have scheduled a repair at the local trailer shop. I am wondering if I should have all of the springs upgraded to 5 leaf (2250 lb.) from the original 4 leaf (1750 lb.) springs. The original springs appear almost flat with little, if...

    Tread Separations on Maxxis, put on TowStar

    On a recent trip I found tread separations on two of my Maxxis tires, on my trailer. Luckily we were in an RV park at the time so no damage. We went to the local Les Schwab store and took what they had, two TowStar tires, to get home. These would not have been my choice for replacements but...

    Washing Exterior Without a Water Source

    I am unable to wash my trailer at my residence due to not being able to turn around on my street. So either I have to take it somewhere to have it washed or wash it on the storage lot. I have washed it on the lot myself using gallon jugs of water but this is labor intensive to say the least...

    Roof Replacement: Full or Partial?

    On a recent long trip I had a roof leak in the front of my 2013 Heartland North Trail. I had a local tech reseal the front seam where the roof membrane meets the front cap. A few days and 200 miles later it rained and it leaked again. So, the tech applied another layer of Dicor to it. The...

    TST 507 Monitor Readability

    I just installed a TST 507 TPMS and have it working on my travel trailer. I have not towed with it yet. I have driven short distances with the monitor on the dashboard of my truck and on my car's dash. At times when the monitor is in shadow I have difficulty seeing the display. In sunlight I...

    Trailer Star or Barker Tongue Jack?

    Hi all. We are new owners of a 2013 North Trail 28 brs which has a Trailer Star power tongue jack. Our old trailer, which we still own (for now) has a Barker High Power 3000 jack on it. We are undecided if we should keep the Trailer Star or swap it for the Barker. If both were new the Barker...

    ATF: North Trail - 28brs Slide Out Creasing the Floor

    On my 2013 NT 28brs the linoleum floor gets creased where the edge of the slide rests on it during travel. Is there some sort of an adjustment for the slide to prevent this? I'm concerned that the flooring will wear through. Also, The dinette table appears to be stuck. It does not want to...

    New North Trail 28BRS Owners

    Hello! We are new owners but the trailer is a 2013. It is our 6th trailer, having owned an Invader, a Kit, a Wanderer, a Jayco and a Rockwood. We thought we wanted a motorhome but find the comfort of a tow vehicle to be superior when more than two occupants are involved, plus not listening...
