    Prefer chairs & table vs. dinette

    My North Country came with a wood/upholstered dinette ensemble. I want to remove it and replace with a table and chairs set like the 5vers normally have. I have been reading in the forum that some sets have folding chairs. Would anyone here on the forum who have this type of folding chair...

    Have you seen what the Australians camp with?!

    Recently I was looking around the web at RV supplies and came across an Australian company called Camec (Camec.com). It's interesting to see the innovations being used in other countries in the RV world. I got to wondering how their RV's (called caravans) might be similar or different than...

    ATF: North Country - NC range hood vent cover needed

    Can you give me the manufacturer name and part number for the range hood exhaust cover on my 2010 N.C. please? The damper door seems to have "disappeared" since our last excursion, so I need to find the exact replacement unit. So many online retailers have differing dimensions that I am leery...

    Can We Install A Tankless Heater?

    I am needling my husband to figure out whether a gas tankless water heater can be installed in our NC 30FKS. The vin is: 5SFEB3426AE207376. There seems to be a lot of unused space beneath the sink area on our model that I would think Heartland could have utilized to install the largest water...

    No more open shelving

    Our '10 NC 30FKS has a couple open shelves above the microwave and refrigerator. These are ideal spots for the small appliances, but not practical during traveling. I discovered that the opening above the microwave was identical in size to the spaces above the sofa/dinette areas, which have...

    Power Washer vs. Hand Washing Alum Exterior

    I haven't seen anyone mention on here their use of power washing the exteriors. We spend the entire day hand washing and waxing our North Country which has the aluminum siding. Those ribs make for a lot of extra time spent cleaning and wiping. We know we let too much time lapse between...

    Anyone had any failures/problems w/your AC/DC converters?

    I just traded my factory mounted converter in to the mfg. for a replacement (under warranty) due to a voltage leak on the ground wire to the trailer frame. Is anyone else having this or similar issue lately with the converters?:confused:

    Holes in trailer frame necessity

    Why must there be all those 3/4" dia. holes on the front and rear ends of the travel trailers, as well as one on each side near the back end? I am having a constant battle w/mice entering there and using the underbelly as a home. What with the wiring exposed there and the entrance holes into...

    floorboards hot on long trip

    We just traveled 2300 miles (first long trip) towing our NC 29FKS (appr. 12,000 lbs) w/'99 7.3 SD stock. It seemed like the floorboards and firewall were extremely hot all the time but temp. gauge never got high, nor did the truck seem like it was having any other problems. Ambient temps were...

    What is best to roast marshmallows?

    We have always used the hot dog forks to roast marshmallows, but you know the rod gets too hot and melts the 'mallow too quickly. A friend said it is better to use a wittled "green" tree branch but that is rarely an option except at home. Has anyone seen an invention for this purpose?

    Watch the caulk around shower pan

    We used the shower in our "new" 2010 30fks this morning and found water running outside of the shower pan onto the floor. Of course the first reaction was panic on my husband's part (!) We see that when the glass enclosure is caulked in that a small gap exists at the junctions with pan and...
