we bought a northtrail 33 buds in Feb of 18. One year and a few months later, the Dexter Axle broke. My dealer went back and forth with Dexter because Dexter would not pay the labor to install the new axle. As it was mentioned below, I called and spoke to the VP of quality assurance. After a...

Thx for the input. I gotta have running water and have enough propane to run the furnace for several days. I also have a solar panel to keep the batteries charged. I’ve seen videos of what to use to put around the rv for skirting such as straw bales and tarps which have been helpful. I only need...

Great feedback. I think with two propane tanks I can leave it for a few days.

This has been my first year camping and will be hauling my camper (Northtrail buds 33) to my deer lease in November. Can anyone give me tips on keeping the camper warm and the pipes from freezing during my hunt? Also, I will be leaving it unattended for a few days during the season so...

Yes, the booster is on and it is a factory omni which tells me they put the least expensive one on given the many other corners that are cut when these are made. connections are all good and tight. The issue is reception, or the lack thereof when we are only 30 miles outside a major metro...

So, my north trail standard tv antenna is horrible. Suggestion on what brand will work better and is the change out easy?

Thx for the feedback. I can’t tell but do you have a 33 buds? We bought a new one in Feb and love it but can’t get over how poor the interior trim, tables, kitchen sink etc are made. First the molding from the slide outs fell off, then the night stand in the master bedroom has split, then last...

Thanks guys youve answered my question

I own a Northtrail 33buds and was wondering if someone could tell me how amps does it need to power it? I bought 2 Yamaha 2,000 amps to power the unit (ac included) but can’t find how much power I need for heating.

Just returned from our fifth trip and reminded again how little attention Heartland pays to details. The tank handle has come off twice and of course the dealer was happy to sell me a “better” one that also fell off. Because there is no “owners manual” I have no way to know which jandlenis for...

no I had not seen this thx for sharing but the link is for a different rv, Landmark.

Ok, so I am three months in on our purchase of a new north trail 33 buds and wanted to give fellow members my review of the rv. We are 1st timers so I’ve got nothing to compare our purchase to but thought it would help prospective buyers. The owners manual that came with with it does not help...

Well, if the owners manual from Heartland resembled anything like what I bought (north trIl 33 buds) perhaps I’d know the answer to your question. I believe it has the ignition spark like a gas grill does but even when I try to ignite the oven to get a pilot light, nothing. Also, you were spot...

There is propane as the stove works but not the oven or the water heater.

Ok, I bought a new north trail 33 buds and first off, the manual for it is horrible. It seems like they print a one size fits all manual for all heartland models. However, the manual has nothing in it about the water heater. My first trip with it last weekend found that the water heater...

this was so helpful. So, just so I read this correctly, you upgraded to group 31 batteries and added two additional batteries? I have the 2017 33 buds that has the solar panel hookup at the front but have no idea what kind of panel to buy and where. suggestions?

thanks. I've got two 20 gallon propane tanks so I think that should last longer than the battery

I’m a deer hunter and plan to boondock my 33buds during the deer season and wondering how long will the battery work to help keep the rv warm enough to keep the pipes from freezing? I have portable generators but when I’m not there, curious how long the furnace can run off battery?

thx for the prompt reply. some things I've read indicate using a small amount of bleach to sanitize the lines and tanks. Do you recommend this?

was looking for an existing forum on this topic but couldn't find one. our new 33 buds is winterized but looking for info on how to flush out the antifreeze and ensure all faucets and shower works . can someone point me to where I can find this step by step info?

I wish the the sales person would have told us the ac outlets won’t work unless the are powered by 30amp generator or electrical. Live and learn.

We have been swamped with brochures and info on “the Best” campgrounds in IN but somewhat skeptical so any suggestions on the best place to go for our first excursion?

Well Shazam that may have solved it. #newbee

No we we were running it on battery. Does it need to be hooked up to 30 amp for the outlets to work?

No its only been plugged in to a 30 amp and my portable Yamaha generators.

So, haven’t even camped yet (just bought it two weeks ago) but the gfi has already failed. No outlet has power and the gfi wouldn’t reset. Had to haul it in to the dealer to fix. Not a good start. Has anyone else experienced issues with this?

Thanks for everyone's feedback. I didn't want to chance it given this is our first rig so upgraded to the 2018 2500 HD diesel.

9,600 for the trailer and right at 10k for my 2014 Silverado.

thanks. what does it mean at the bottom of your reply that you moved the thread to a better area?

We just bought a 39' north trail 33 buds but it seems like my chevy silverado 1500 with a towing package really struggles. Do I not have enough truck to pull this rig safely?
