    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...

    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...

    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...

    Personal Protection ammo

    The defense shells will have more stopping power than the .45 bullet. And, being a shot shell and not a bullet, odds are better that you'll hit your target. No offense intended, Hart, but I don't know why people say to load a few .45's for the last two shots. The only possible reason could...

    What's your favorite carry weapon?

    Yes, a shotgun would be great to use. But where are you going to store that? Even a short barrelled shotgun is going to be cumbersome in an RV. In my opinion, the Judge is the way to go. It's escentially a small, hand-held shotgun(rather than shoulder fired). Very easy to store in the...

    My new purchase

    I have a sub-compact XD in .40 caliber. I swear...they made that gun just for me and my hand!! You will not be unhappy with that weapon. I did find the handle to be just a bit too small. My pinky finger fell off the botom of the handle. I bought the extended magazine, and the XD Gear spacer. It...

    Do you train regular?

    At minimum, I make it to the range (Powder Room, in Powell) once a month. Usually once every 2 to 3 weeks. I'll shoot 100-200 rounds or so each time from my everyday-carry pistol, and I'll rent a different gun and shoot 50-100 rounds through it just for fun and experience. I'd be interested to...

    What's your favorite carry weapon?

    Sure, the campgrounds may be wonderfully nice! What happens if you break down on the way in an undesireable area? Or a remote area? When you're on the side of the road, waiting with your family, in your expensive tow rig (neon sign), that's pulling your expensive camper (neon sign part two)...

    Anyone attend the Derby, or play the ponies today?

    We didn't go to the Derby, but we did go to a local track and do some minor betting on the local races, and the Derby. The number two horse, Ice Box, came in second, and I had him to place, so that was a nice winning ticket. Other than that, we all lost. But, we had a good time. If you've never...

    For those who don't understand the reason for a CCW

    Surely, some good points have already been made. I prefer the short version. Why do I carry a concealed firearm? Watch the news!!! Nearly every day, there's at least one news story with a reason why.

    Concealed carry permits

    boat to 5er, I don't know if that will qualify or not! Sure looks like a M198? I'm ex-field arty, too. Spent most of my time on a self propelled M109A4. Good fun!! Every once in a while, a gun expert or enthusiast with a big novelty-type of gun will show it off, and ask if I've ever shot...

    Any waterfowl hunters here?

    I suppose this thread could go anywhere, really, but figured I'd give a "boost" to the firearms forum. I've hunted ducks and geese for about 30 years or so. I haven't been "out" for the last 3 years, but plan to make it for the 2010/2011 season. Anyone else chase the birds?

    Relaxing

    We stayed close to home, and went to Alum Creek. First time out for the season, we figured we'd stay close to go back home to get the forgotten items. Sort of like a spring training outing!

    Concealed carry permits

    I have to ask, after seeing it a few times: What does DW stand for? And what is a stick? (Sorry to get of track. But if I'm ever going to fit in, I need the lingo!!!

    Concealed carry permits

    In my experience, many people feel this way. They don't like them, and they don't like the idea of guns being around. They've seen so many TV shows and movies and news stories about guns, guns, guns, and most are not in a good light. Showing someone a gun up close, in their hands, and showing...

    Here's question for you...The kids are in bed, the last bit of sunlight is just barely hanging on. You're sitting under the awning, some music is playing softly. It's still warm, but much cooler than the heat of the day. The campfire is crackling, and you and your significant other are sitting...

    Concealed carry permits

    Is DW your wife? Here's something to consider. My wife also has here permit, so we are "covered". But be careful leaving the guns in the glove box or console, etc. Let's say you stay at the RV, and the wife goes to the store. She get's in a fender bender, and for whatever reason, the cop...

    Concealed carry permits

    Actuall, I think it's legal to go anywhere with a "long gun", if it's in plain sight (federal law). You could walk right down the street in any city. Of course, people would flip out, so I don't think I would try it. I'm surprised at the number of responses from guys who carry! I don't know...

    Concealed carry permits

    I don't know how many people will post up and admit they do carry, but I was just curious. Do you carry a concealed weapon in your rig? I don't mind telling you I do. Too many crazies running around everywhere!!! I bet this will blow your mind...The last statistic I saw had over 200,000...

    2010 Caravan from Ohio to Nashville---places to stop on the way

    Just into Kentucky from Ohio is the Jim Beam factory. They offer tours. Cincinatti has Kings Island, or you could take in a Reds game. There is also a giant indoor aquarium that is supposed to be pretty cool. Skyline chili dogs!!!!!!! There is a Bass Pro Shop in Cinci, too.
