    Tire covers for Wide Trax axle

    I own a 2010 North Trail 28RLS and I am replacing the DURO tires that came with it. I also want to fit tire covers on the trailer. I would like a one piece cover for each side. My wheel size is 14". Are tire covers available for the Wide Trax axle?

    found a new option for trailer tires not spoken of before

    So what Travel trailer rated tires are made in the USA? My DURO's that came with my North Trail are cracking within a year of ownership. My North Trail uses ST205/75-14 tires. They are bias ply. If I go with radials I will need to purchase five tires. I went to my local America's Tire today...

    cable connection problem

    Besides what Ray suggested try reprogamming your tv to the cable system. This is done with your tv's remote. You didn't say if you went to a different RV park when you changed over. On my tv I have to reprogram the tv to the parks cable system. This usually takes 2-3 minutes depending on the...

    My 2 cents worth for design ideas!

    Re: Finishing Touches That single vinyl strap that holds the heavy sliding door between the bedroom and the rest of the trailer needs to be reengineered. The strap will not hold the door even around mild corners. Before putting on the panel that covers the back of the water heater, have a...

    4WD vs 2WD

    Don't forget the $3-4k extra cost for the 4 WD option. That's about 10-15 tows from a tow truck. Sure if I lived where it snows in the winter I would want it to, but I don't. My truck has a LSD and traction control plus M & S tires. I don't go where it snows or is muddy with my truck. As I said...

    2010 28 NT RLS question

    Jim, the snap didn't hold. Unlike a motorhome where if something happens while traveling, you can see or hear it and fix it right away, in a trailer you don't know it happens until you stop. Based on what I have been reading on this board, any model Heartland trailer that has this type of...

    NT Options

    I am not sure if they could do this at the factory but I would see if you could get the 2010 convection/microwave oven with the better three burner stove. This also gave you an extra cupboard where the 2011 microwave went. If you do a lot of dry camping this might not workout as the convection...

    Maiden trip in our 28RLS

    Other then the 80 mile trip from the dealer to the RV storage lot this was out first trip. This is our first trailer and I didn't know what to expect in hooking up and the actual traveling down the road. It took us about 15 minutes to connect the trailer to the truck and we made sure the lights...

    2010 28 NT RLS question

    Thanks about the door but what does the factory recommend. When we first looked at our trailer at the dealer, the factory had a piece of wood wedged in for it's trip from Indiana to California. They obviously know about the problem. Adding two more straps which wouldn't cost them more than $2.00...

    2010 28 NT RLS question

    We took our new 2010 28RLS for it's maiden trip. Two things happened. While driving the door that slides across the bedroom entrance kept coming loose. The door is held in place by one vinyl strap. The strap would not hold the door in place on windy roads. Does the factory have a fix for this...

    water filter options on the 21FBS?

    I use an outside filter that Wal-Mart sells. You connect it between the city water hose and the trailer water connection. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Camco-Water-Filter-with-Hose/14504321#ProductDetail

    Trailer Cover

    The covers I have looked at have a tie down on the front. Unless you get a custom made one for a specifc make and model, they fit a different size range and you should have no trouble fitting the cover to a North Trail. Just make sure you get the correct sizerange for your trailer.

    2010 M22 Sawdust

    Did the dealer charge you for going over the trailer? The dealer should have vacuumed that out before you took delivery. Call them up and ask them if they want you to hire someone to come in and clean up what the didn't do and send them the bill or send someone from their company out to where...

    28 RLS Black Tank Flush System

    I just picked up my new 2010 28RLS. While doing the walk through, I spotted a water outlet on the right side. All other outlets are on the left/drivers side. There was no label on this outlet, I asked the person from the dealer doing the walk through and he said it was the black water flush. So...

    Vinyl floor lifting with air bubble

    Having some knowledge of sheet vinyl installation, there are basicly two types; full spread and parameter. Full spread means the adhesive is spread on the area that the vinyl will be placed. The parameter installation is where a 4-6" width of adhesive is spread around the parameter of the floor...

    2010 Half time convection oven vs 2011 gas oven on North Trail

    The 2010 has the half time convection oven/ microwave combination unit. It runs on 110v. Above that is a 3 burner stove that runs on propane. It has no oven that runs on propane. The 2011 models have a propane oven and a three burner propane stove. Above the stove is a microwave oven that runs...

    Rally location ideas - 2012

    Re: This May Work I don't want to be a party pooper but an eye opener. I live near San Francisco, CA about as far West as you can go. The distance between my city and Goshen, IN is 1915 miles. To Branson, MO it's 1566 miles. To Gillette, WY it's 960 miles. Someone in Ohio said Wyoming would be...

    Just purchased a new 2010 28RLS

    Although I like the improvements on the 2011 models over the 2010, we purchased a new 2010 NT 28RLS today on a deal we just could not pass up. We got the dealer to give us an out the door price which included tax & license. Our sales tax rate is 9.75% which is substantial. I know we can't talk...

    Was the bicycle rack available in 2010?

    We looked at 2011 models and really like the bicycle rack. Does it come on all North Trail models? Was it available on 2010 models as well.

    Tires for 3670RL

    There are tires made in China from indepenedent Chinese manufactures and there are tires made in China by companies such as Goodyear that control the quality of the tire. Just because the tire is made in China doesn't make it bad. Goodyear controls the manufacturing process of their tires made...

    Tires for 3670RL

    I totally agree. When it comes to safety what kind of price do you put on it? I am looking at another brand of trailer, a smaller company than Heartland. In there brochure they say all their trailers and 5th wheels come with Goodyear tires. Granted there are a lot of people out there that don't...

    2010 Half time convection oven vs 2011 gas oven on North Trail

    Can you run the 2010 1/2 time off the battery? I assume it doesn't run off of propane like the gas oven does. The reason I ask is, there are still some 2010 units still on the dealers lots and it sounds like the 1/2 is better. Does that have a microwave option on the unit? Steve

    I R Confused

    My wife and I went looking for trailers today. We looked at the North Trail 21FBS but thought it was too small although it's length is 26'6". The salesman asked if I had thought about a 5th Wheel, which I had not because I thought my box was too short. He showed us the North Trail 24RL which is...

    2010 Half time convection oven vs 2011 gas oven on North Trail

    In 2010 you installed a 1/2 time convection oven. The 2011 models have a regular gas oven. Why did you switch?
