    While it may be true that most are above, I really don't think it is in this case. I have a 31RED also and I believe the motor for the dinner table is under the seat. Most likely under the seat near the rear of the slide. Okay, Disregard my statement. I have recently found that I provided...

    ATF: North Trail - Fresh water tank problem

    I agree that the pump was pulling air from the tank because it would pressurize the system. What I didn't understand was that with two gals. of antifreeze in the tank the pump could not pull it up. The value from the tank to the pump is stuck so that it passes air or fluid from the tank to the...

    ATF: North Trail - Fresh water tank problem

    I'm sure it was pulling air from the tank because it was pressurizing the system. It just bothered me that 2 gal. of antifreeze would not be picked up from the tank. We never use the tank water for drinking and only use it for what I call "Pee water" while we are on the road. But looks like I...

    Delamation on my Travel trailer nose.

    I'm sure you're correct, I was wanting to find out if this is repairable and at what cost. I'm 75 years old. My wife and I have always wanted to do a trip from Mississippi to Calf. Our bucket list is getting shorter.

    Delamation on my Travel trailer nose.

    "There was also some trailers that did not have adequate cross-bracing under the curved front cap, and over time it caused some horizontal indentations. I believe these were fixed as well." This may be what I'm seeing. It seems to be what i'm seeing. I can all ways hope. It does seem very...

    Delamation on my Travel trailer nose.

    What I read is not from this page. I have a 2009 North trail 31RED. I perched it from Camping World in January. I also have an "extended warranty", but Im not sure this will cover the damage. I have no way of knowing who maintained or didn't maintain it properly. I noticed the flexing on a...

    North Trail - Repair History

    I was wondering if there were such a system such as Car-fax that follows repairs and rebuilds to RVs and travel trailers. After all they have VINs. In addition, there IS a lot of fraud in this mariket.

    North Trail - Awning repair

    Re: ATF: North Trail - Awning repair I have used the tape and while it sticks well, it is a little difficult to deal with. wrinkled but stuck. I was thinking that using the rubber roof finishing sealant if I have problems in the future. It would seal the cracks and is very pliable.

    Hey Guys, thanks for all the feed back. I went with the stand alone unit. I think it will work great. There is no room for attaching the holder to the wall or to the cabinet door.

    ATF: North Trail - Toliet paper holder

    I am the proud owner of a 2009, 31RED. I'm taking my time setting it to my and my wife's comfort levels. The wife pointed out to me that there was no toilet paper holder in the bathroom area. If I mount on on the wall, it will interfere with getting into the bathtub. Where should I mount it?
