Hi I just recently noticed a few things that seem to be bad with our slide out on our 2009 26RKS. We go on many trips each year so the slide gets a big workout. Note that after 5 years of use, this is the first time we've encountered problems with it Problem 1: From the outside, looking at the...

Have a 2009 Northtrail that has wfco 8955a converter. Overhead bedroom lamp stopped working this morning. Checked fuse, blown; replaced and blew it again when I turned the light on. Light worked last night. All other circuits seem to work properly. Any idea where I should start looking...

have a northtrail 26rks and inadvertently poked a 1.5" by 4" hole in the fiberglass exterior about 3" below the roof line and a few inches to the left of the left awning. How did it happen .. Lets just say it was a dumb move on my part. I put some white duct tape to temporarily cover it but...

My wife absolutely hates our dual-basin kitchen sink. It has stains in it that won't come out and she wants to replace it with a single basin sink. We've searched on the internet and found a number of replacements that are similar to what we have but .. no ... she wants just one basin. Have any...

Can you tell me what is wired to the 4th DC circuit on my unit. Thanks Frank

Howdy I have a 2009 26RKS and we just got back from camping. Before we left the campground, I noticed that the refrigerator "auto" light was off when it should not have been. Once I got home I tried to turn on the Dometic refrigerator using electric or gas and nothing happened. I checked all...

Received an invite from TT to join them. They call it their 40th Anniversary special. This is a special offer that allows camping in either the Western zone (35+ locations) or the Eastern zone. We would choose the Western zone. The cost is $300 per year for 3 years. There are no restrictions on...

Howdy I just noticed that I have a crease showing on my new 26RKS. It showed up sometime after I got home from Elkhart last week and it seems to be getting more visible. The crease is right above the North Trail name and below the mountain logo and it starts about 12 - 14 inches from the left...

I just returned from a trip from WA to Elkhart to pick up my new North Trail 26RKS. The folks at Great Lakes RV / RV Capital Wholesalers did a great job of getting the unit ready for me. The lengthy PDI did not find many issues and those that were identified were addressed quickly. I did have...

Howdy How long does it typically take to manufacture a new 26RKS? I ask because I've had one on order since the 10th of March and still don't have a delivery date for it. I received the VIN number of March 20th. Thanks Frank

Howdy As I anxiously await my new North Trail, I decided to get my old travel trailer ready for sale. For the first time ever, I discovered that I had a flat tire on the left front. Where should I place the jack to raise the tire off the ground? I have a 2 ton sears jack that I can roll out...

Howdy, I am trying to compare different RV insurance policies (GMAC, Progressive, Allied and State Farm) but it is really hard to do a one-for-one comparison since I am not sure what I should get for coverage. I currently have state farm for homeowners, auto and umbrella policies. What...

We will hopefully be picking up or North Trail 26RKS in the next few weeks. Thanks to the good information in this forum, I now have an excellent PDI document to follow before I accept the unit. If I want to climb up on the roof (I weight around 215lbs) to check things out, what would be the...

Hi, I would like to know the manufacture / model number for the converter installed on the 26RKS. I will be using T-105 6V batteries and want to make sure that I can safely charge these without worrying about overcharging them Thanks Frank

I was reading up on RV Fiberglass siding and came across these three types that are available. Can anyone tell me what the North Trail Travel Trailers have? 1. Filon siding with Gelcoat and Clearcoat- smoothest surface, highest gloss, "wet look luster" and most expensive. 2. Filon siding with...

Has anyone used these folks to purchase their Travel Trailer? I live in an area where there is no Heartland dealer close by so I am not overly worried about getting a local dealer upset by buying out of the area. I've seen some decent comments on RV.NET regarding their purchase experience with...

Hi Will be ordering a new Equal-i-zer hitch for my new 26RKS ... Does anyone know what the ball size requirements are for the TT? Thanks Frank

Hi After lots of discussions and research, we are getting ready to pull the trigger on a new travel trailer (26rks) I've seen somewhere in the Heartland's owner's forum that some members had a check list that they used when they picked up a new travel trailer. I am very interested in getting a...

Hi We are in the process of making our final decision on a travel trailer. Our two choices are the 26rks or the sklyine malibu. The North Trail has really excited us and I was wondering how many of you have purchased one and what your thoughts are about it Thanks Frank
