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...

Dewwood, how did you like White River? We are looking at campgrounds around the Indy area and wanted to try it out sometime. Did you find the spaces large enough; level; nice fire rings and tables; etc.? Do you recommend them? Thanks!

RVcookingshow.com is the main site. There are plenty of videos. Wonder if this is where "TrailerChix" from "Trailer Life" got started!

I agree on the size issue. I wouldn't be able to turn around in most of their sizes. Re: the range, they are made by SMEV which was recently purchased by Dometic. I am in the process of getting one of those ranges for my TT. Somewhere I picked up a link to an RV cooking show/blog a lady on...

Camec.com is the RV parts supplier; Lotus Caravan is the travel trailer. You should be able to Google "Lotus Caravans" and find the site.

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...

ScubaDan, I feel your pain about the existing hood/micro as I have a '10 North Country with the same complaint. I just called Heartland to ask about doing the same change. Since mine is built with wood studs and the steel exterior, I was told I would have no problem changing because locating...

Is there anyone on this forum that knows the Indy area campgrounds well enough to recommend? We are needing to visit Indy a few weekends per year and so far in researching online, cannot nail down one in the area that has a good and reliable review posted. I read here in the forum recently...

I use "molly bolts" for anything too heavy for Commands but not heavy enough to require hitting a stud. Also, all models have studs somewhere accessible if you need to hang something like towel bars, tp roll holder, clocks, clothes hooks, etc. Just push in the wall paneling until you feel the...

I did the exact same thing two years ago as well. I used double sided tape in case we sell our camper or got tired of the tin panels look. Would like to see something like this at the design/build stage considering how close walls are to the cooking area. Now if I could just re-orient the...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Your review is hilarious!! I couldn't stop laughing while reading this - and thinking about a similar problem with too many trees in a campground we tried out once! This story would be a great short film!

What a good husband you are! Very nice work, and great ideas. Don't lose the enthusiasm for improving the place!

Can the single panes that are factory installed be replaced with duals?

Some of those RV suppliers and maybe even Camping World have a bumper cap that has a hole through the center so that when you push the cap into the bumper tube, the end flexes into the bumper and creates the tension to hold it on tightly. The hole also creates the means to remove the cap when...

We have the '10 FKS LS w/the short closets. I love your mods in the bedroom! I also want to replace dinette w/table & chairs instead. Nice job on the chock set too! I agree, the storage is incredible on the NC's. Can't get over how many different windows your's has compared to ours.

What a coincidence, I have just removed our sleeper sofa in our '10 North Country and put in a futon loveseat. I am also intending on taking out the dinette and putting in a table/chairs set instead. Too bad you are so far away. Do you have RV surplus stores in the area that you can check...

The issue began with getting shocked when touching the trailer frame. We kept testing all the circuits in our panel and the frame ground. After MUCH searching and frustration (plus some input from converter mfg.) we finally discovered that the outlet we were powering the trailer from had no...

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:

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...

We have a North Country and recently while driving through a fierce rainstorm out West, discovered that every window on the side that the rain hit had let in the water and ran down the interior walls to the floor. Does anyone else experience this while traveling? It doesn't occur while parked.

#1. It felt much, much hotter than any other trips taken on 90 degree days - I have never had to keep my feet off the floor like this trip. No, I didn't have a gauge, but wished I had! #2. 3" was the prior exhaust system size so we are assuming that if it was too small, our mechanic would...

I see by the numbers of replies that most of you do stay around 60 or so. Wonder how come so many other RVers were passing us up then?! They must be getting their fuel free! LOL

Yes, most of the time I could barely tolerate leaving my feet on the floor, not to mention that my dogs couldn't even take lying on the floorboards (which is uncommon). We didn't believe we could justify running the A/C and burning even more fuel on such a long, expensive trip. You know how...

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...

Actually, the corn in your cereal, torillas, chips, etc. IS the same corn as the ethanol-used corn. The whole kernel corn we eat on the cob/frozen is totally different variety. To be honest, there is NO real nutritional value in corn period - so we're not really being deprived if it all goes...

Yep, at least twice a year (under 10,000 miles per year). Glad we were told about it. We have never had to drain water yet out of the separator.

We have a 2010 North Country which doesn't have a built in hitch on bumper. We use a receiver that is made to clamp around the bumper which can be purchased just about anywhere receiver and hitch parts are sold. The problem with having a bike rack on the back of the trailer (types that hang...

Evidently there is a tremendous difference in the level of service between dealerships, according to your post. Your dealer's service dept. should have done all these things for you before your unit even left their lot! My walk through was nearly an hour long to demonstrate all the procedures...

Does anyone have a spare:rolleyes: Equalizer brand hitch set rated 12K # they are not using anymore and would like to sell soon. Looking for the adjustable shank model only. We are located in Northern Indiana. Will p/u if within 100 mile radius, otherwise you must be able to package for...

2010 North Country Wow, that looks great! I didn't realize NC had a real living room. Our 2010 NC has the front kitchen and walk through bath. What kind of floor plan is yours?

double vs. single sink We have a 2010 North Country and there is so much counter space around the sink I don't know why Heartland didn't install standard size sinks! I have a double and it is deep so I get most anything in it, but agree a deep single basin would probably work even better. Our...

Chicago area campgrounds Since we are completely new to traveling I checked a Woodalls Campground directory out of my local library and thought it was really packed with lots of pertinent info. Don't many of you use these sources to find campgrounds in unfamiliar areas?

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?

hanging shelves for closet rods One item I have purchased in my travel trailers are those hanging canvas shelves for utilizing the closet spaces. They are available at most stores that sell organizing products, i.e., KMart, Walmart, Target, Bed,Bath,&Beyond, and check out online retailers for...

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...
