    Do you need it?

    So, do you NEED a gun? There are plenty of arguements for or against. It comes down to personal choice. We camp in nicer areas most of the time. I have never felt as though I NEEDED my gun(s) while at a campground. Just like everyone here, every camper/campground we've encountered have been...

    Question regarding winterizing process

    Do I really need to purchase the "winterizing kit"? Couldn't I bypass that step and expense by adding my RV anti-freeze directly to my city water connection, and allow my RV (North Trail) water pump to circulate the anti-freeze? Am I missing something, or forgetting something? I realize the tank...

    Considering a North Trail 32 BUDS

    Just last week, in Sandusky Ohio, we saw our first North Trail "in the field". Before that, I had seen one on the move through Columbus. I understand your not having heard of or seen Heartland before. We have a 32QBSS and love it. Problems have been very few. Our oven didn't work, but customer...

    Modifications to our North Trail/Caliber 265RLS

    We've made a few changes to our North Trail 32QBSS. We bought a nice Sony Bravia TV, and despite my wifes double and triple measuring, it didn't fit. She suggested getting a smaller TV, but man law kicked in, and out came the Sawz-all!! I took off the "counter top" from the entertainment...

    What will "they" come up with next??

    Just wanted to vent a bit. My nine year old son plays Little League baseball. The actual L.L. that you see every year on TV with the L.L. world series. Any way, some of the rules they have are a bit much. For instance, on-deck batters may not swing a bat. Not near the dugout/bench area. Not...

    Newb + 31QBS + 09 Suburban = Good to go?

    We have the NT 32QBSS. I had a Chevy Tahoe (5.7 V8, 4 x 4) to tow it with, but when I bought the RV I had already planned on getting a bigger TV. We did our first few outings using the Tahoe. It did the job. The tow rating for the Tahoe was 7200. I could feel that we needed more power, more...

    Wide-Trax "x" chock

    Thanks to truknutt (thanks again!!), I found some ratcheting "X"-style wheel chocks that fit in between wide trax wheels. This was the cheapest place I found them, and they were at my door in just two days...

    Between the wheels ratcheting or "X" chocks

    Yes...This guy understands. I know they work well. I'm trying to find one large enough to use on my N.T. 32QBSS.

    Between the wheels ratcheting or "X" chocks

    I'm looking to make the North Trail 32QBSS more stable when parked. I've been doing some research to see what I need/want. There are many options!!! I decided to go with the Winfield RV Products scissor jack cross brace. Easy install, easy operation. I also wanted to pick up one of those...

    Discussion-Ohio Chapter Rally In Marengo Ohio

    Still too early for us to know. With the kids involved in baseball and softball, we'll have to wait until we see their schedules. The Cardinal Center is top notch!

    RV/camping magazines

    What do you subscribe to? We get Highways from Good Sam, but we're looking for a couple more magazines with supplies, reviews, destinations, etc. What do you like?

    Aftermarket bumper??

    We purchased a 2010 North Trail 32QBSS in the fall of 2009. It was a very exciting event for us and the kids. We were newbies, having spent a few nights in an RV, but never owning one. Throw in a less than helpfull salesman, and we made a couple of mistakes. One of those being that we do not...

    What's wrong with this picture?

    Police officer: "Could everyone please stop for a moment while we assess the situation and find suitable, safe cover?" Gunman: "oh, okay. Sorry. Go ahead" The above scenario is just as ridiculous as the guy who started this thread second guessing the police. Seriously? Yes, you're right...

    Tow vehicle for NT 24RBS

    We have the 2010 NT 32QBSS. I tow with a new Suburban 3/4 ton. I love that truck. It get's the job done towing, has plenty of room, and has enclosed, lockable "storage" (as compared to a pickup). Depending on how much your rig weighs, you might be able to get away with a Tahoe, almost surely...
