I have a 2010 NC 29RKS and I noticed a leak during a recent rain. Upon inspecting the dome on the roof this morning I found a large hairline crack from near the top of the dome running to the flange. I have no idea of how it became cracked. I had noticed a leak a year earlier and added some...

New Units on the way west to dealers. Spotted near Grinnell Ia on I-80.

It's time to head north after almost three months in Paradise Park, McAllen Tx. It was our first experience at living for three months in a travel trailer, in our case a North Country 29RKS LS. The North Country survived us and we survived in the North Country. Other than the shower stall...

I'm began trying to program my Direct TV Remote Control to operate my Jensen system. Right now I can turn on the DTV Receiver and TV with the DTV remote. To play a DVD I have use the VIZIO remote and switch the mode to AV and then use the Jensen remote to play the dvd. When I looked at the...

I want to replace my bathroom vent fan with a premium fan that has a thermostat and variable speeds. The reason is that my travel trailer will be left in the extreme heat of south Texas and I want to have a fan that can expel some of the heat build up inside the trailer. If you have any advice...

Occasionally a sound emits below the electrical panel in our NC29RKS. I have been trying to figure out what triggers it. It isn't a loud sound, but sounds like a fan running. Could someone tell me what it is?:confused:

I purchased a 12 volt mini air compressor to inflate bike tires and other items. I had to use my lighter socket in the pickup to use it. It might be a nice feature to have an exterior lighter socket near the toy lok feature or outdoor 110 receptacle to use 12 volt accesories. Since much of...

Parked in McAllen Tx for the winter. It has been cool and we are unable to open windows. In the mornings the interior side of the windows are heavy with moisture. We are running the furnace, but it doesn't do much to dry out the interior air. Our water use is restricted to showers each...

I will use the 29RKS LS North Country as a snowbird residence. The RV Park we are in requires that travel trailers be tied down and skirted. Before I get it tied down I would like to place the trailer on concrete blocks. The lot has an asphalt pad below where the trailer is positioned...

The Jensen Entertainment System comes equipped with a USB port. I copied many of my wife's favorite albums on flash drives. A flash drive can hold several albums. The System will randomize your plays if you desire. You don't have to carry around the CD's and there is no wasted space.

Our NC has two gray tanks and one black or holding tank. In the bathroom is a monitor that allows you to get the tank levels. I've found it is advisable to hold down the button to get the levels for 10 or more seconds. Often the initial level given will drop to a lower level. Initially I...

The kilowatt electric costs in the RV Park where our trailer is parked are expensive. I'm thinking of switching the fridge over to propane for operation. Is there pros and cons for doing it?

The Dometic fridge has a small electric wire with what appears to be a sensor. What is it for and is it to be attached to something?

Not sure of the complexity of doing it, but making the 29'+ NC's with a bedroom slide out might be an attractive feature. It would provide more space of course and allow a different arrangement of the furnishings.

Being a true rookie with a trailer you have a steep learning curve and one's anxieties don't help either. I started this thread so others can append things they have learned that was not in the manual. We bought our trailer and did the walk through, but it is impossible to remember everything...

There is a similar thread on this topic, but thought it would be better to start a fresher one. Like others I experienced water on the floor after using the shower. I caulked the interior and exterior base of the shower door with some clear silicon caulk. Still had a problem. After...

Here are some pictures of our new 2010 NC 29RKS LS model. There are some items I think prospective buyers might like to see that aren't shown in the literature from Heartland. My wife and I are using the trailer as winter quarters in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. Changes we made,our dealer...

One advantage of a satellite TV subscription is that you can use your subscription while camping or snow-birding. The complexity of setting up satellite TV is can be daunting if you are doing it yourself. One of the challenges is understanding how to use the exterior cable inlet built into the...

Met a Big Horn headed North on Indian Nation Turnpike

The North Country Sub-Forum under Trailer Forums is devoid of many of the topic areas that are provided for the other brands. It kind of looks like someone started the sub-forum and didn't finish it. There aren't many people using the NC sub-forum, but the reason maybe the lack of topics. If...

The North Country's have an exterior LP Gas outlet that can be used for operation of LP appliances, i.e. gas grill. I would like to buy a gas hose in order to use a small table top gas grill. What type of hose do I need to buy? Knowing the thread type for the outlet would help.

Saw several 5th wheelers, motorhome, and travel trailers heading west on the 9th. Judging by the age of the drivers they appear to be snowbirds heading out.

In looking over the North Country TT specs I noticed the trailer lengths in relation to model number seem a bit wacky. For example the NC 29RKS has a listed length of 34' 10" and the NC 30RLS has a length of 34' 6". The NC 29RLS is listed at 35' 0''. Just wondering how the manufacturers...

My wife and I are buying a 2010 NC 29RKS. We ordered it this spring for delivery this fall. I didn't have a tow vehicle when we ordered and I bought a used 2006 Silverado Ext Cab 2500HD. We are going to spend winters in the RGV of Texas and are planning on leaving it on our RV lot in McAllen...

What is typically the tongue level height of a North Country trailer? I have Silverado 2500 HD with an older weight distributing hitch and when I measure the distance from the ground to the top of the ball it is 25 inches. I'm trying to determine if it is too tall or too short. After posting...

What is the hitch ball size needed for a NC 29RKS?

I am assuming the trailer will have a deep cycle battery when delivered. I do not plan to rely on the battery when using the trailer, but I do want to be able to fall back on it in the event of an outage. After some research on maintaining and keeping a deep cycle battery charged it raised...

The wife and I are purchasing a North Country 29RKS LS to use on a RV Lot we own in a 55+ Park located in McAllen, Tx. We liked the floor plan and the size of the trailer feeling it would meet our needs and fit on the lot without problems. We are still left with some questions. In the bedroom...
