    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...

    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...

    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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

    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

    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...

    Anyone else have stove/microwave problems?

    The lights work. The fan runs. Everything seems normal. But the food doesn't get hot. Anyone else have this problem?

    Newbie winterizing question

    Winterizing: Is it really so simple? Do I understand this correctly? Drain all tanks, and fill with anti-freeze? Well, I guess not "fill", but pour anti-freeze down the sink and toilet enough to fill the P-traps, and drain from there? Thanks ahead of time. You guys are the best, and I...

    Maiden voyage!

    It's been a couple of weeks, but we finally made it out for our maiden voyage with the 32QBSS. It was cold. It was wet. We didn't know what we were doing. But we all had a blast!!!!!!! We didn't go anywhere exotic or fanciful. In fact, we were about 4 miles from home. But still, we had a...

    Outdoor storage and mothballs

    My "neighbor" in our outdoor storage lot has moth balls sprinkled around the gravel area under his travel trailer (poor guy...it's not a Heartland!!). My question...Does this help repell rodents? Or is this just wishful thinking?

    Satellite confusion!!!!

    Were breaking in the new North Trail this weekend, and I'd love to have the TV hooked up so i can watch the Buckeyes play on Saturday. The rig is a 2010 North Trail 32QBSS. I have DirectTv service here at the house, and will be taking one of our home recievers with us. I have a slimline...

    RFID tracking, GPS, ETC?

    My family includes our black Labrador retriever, Hector. I wonder what is the best way to ensure that should he become lost or stolen we can find him and get him back? Anyone "chip" their dog or cat? Any other recommendations to help locate them 100 miles from home? All we have now is his collar...

    It's official!!

    Thanks to everyone who welcomed me to the boards a few weeks ago. I've been busy with work (this is the "Christmas rush" for my business), and busy making preperations for our North trail 32QBSS. Well, yesterday we took delivery!!!!!! The truck did very well on the way home (about an hour and a...

    New members/owners

    My wife and I just "purchased" a new 2010 Heartland North Trail 32QBSS. I use quotes with purchased because we don't have the T.T. in "hand" yet. Should be delivered mid to late September. Hopefully we can still get out on a few trips with the kids before the cold weather sets in. We did sign...
