There is a big difference between whining and finding the solution to a problem Rock. If you choose to spend hundreds of dollars on a fancy stereo system then I salute you’re right to do so. Personally my radio doesn’t see enough use to justify that. Not to mention when my electronics go hay...

My 2010 North trail 28RLS………..Has a bad city water connection; this is due to the fact the check valve went bad. I am currently working remote and my wife has made 3 trips each trip being 170 miles one way to the dealer and each time she has came back with the wrong part. I even sent the old...

I appreciate all of your responses...being new to the RV world I learn somthing new everyday. I currently have managed to find a replacement city water check valve......while its not the right one for my particulaur trailer it screwed on and everything is working for the moment. when I get back...

Today while not hooked up, I turned on the water pump to my 2010 28RLS…….almost immediately I heard a funny noise… and realized a lot of fresh water from my fresh water holding tank was blown out from the city water hook up to my trailer. After closer inspection I realize that the valve on my...

I was just looking at the dealer spec sheet for my 28 RLS travel trailer, and it claims this unit has a black tank flush system. However when i look at the outside flush valve I dont see a water hose attchment.Can somone please tell me (1) what is the black tank flush system? (2) How do I use it?

I just realized that if I let my battery die in the middle of nowhere.....It might be handy to know the location of the manual slide retract on my 2010 28 RLS. Can somone give me a hint to its location please ?

I had the Ford Tow Command system installed, along with 4 Auxillary Switches and a high Idle. The Ford Tow Command works seamless with the 28 RLS. At roughly 700.00 it was a costly upgrade, however It has eliminated almost all trailer Jerk,,,,,comparing to the 200.00 prodigy + 50. labor for...

I hear alot of votes for the prodigy....however I love the Stock in dash look of the Tow Command system......I also hear that it all but eliminates trailer jerk because its intergrated with the truck brakes. I will more the happily pay the extra $500.00 to have the quality of the system. I cant...

Hi all I just purchased a new to me 2008 F250 6.4 Diesel...My truck did not come with the Tow Command system pre installed. After some research I have made an appointment to have my local dealer Install the Tow Command System for me on the 16th. I really like the look of the integrated Ford...

I recently purchased a North Trail 28 RLS and did not receive an owner’s manual. I downloaded one from the posted link but it appears to be just generic for any of Heartlands units. I loved my travel trailer at first sight however after purchasing…. I am so far very un-impressed on the...

That was somthing that bugged me about purchasing a travel trailer however.....if you get big furry unwanted guest in a Rv you just enjoy a coffe and watch the show out of the window and later drive away if the show get a bit exciting (providing your not plugged in). In a travel trailer are...

I allways have a Smith and Wesson 1911 in my Truck console and being as I live In Alaska and working out of my travel trailer in remote locations, I fully intend to keep a 45-70 Guide Gun with me too. I have never had any trouble with people as I have traveld this beutifull state and I choose...

I went ahead and traded in my F150 for a F250 Diesel. The New Truck is a 08 4x4 with 24K miles on it, and has the 6.4 liter diesel. I hated making the swap but the idea of pulling full time with that half ton just doesn’t seem realistic. I want something I can reliably and SAFELY tow with...

Thank both of you guys for your replys....hearing that I should be ok being gentle on my F150 (from experienced TT Haulers) helped influence my decision to go ahead and spring for the 28RLS. My F150 pulled it over the Alaska Range on my way from Palmer where I bought the Unit to Fairbanks Alaska...

I just thought I would post an update on this issue. The owner’s Manual confirmed the radio should indeed be 12 volt. After looking in the owner’s manual for the radio (Jenson AWM 910) I noticed 2 fuses in the wiring Diagram and decided to check these. I unscrewed the 4 screws that mount the...
