I have to remove the cable connection from the back of our North Trail to replace a loose cable end. What is the best sealer or caulk to use? Where's a good place to pick it up? Thanks in advance!

Just before 4pm we were coming home from camping at Indian Trails in Pardeeville WI and saw a North Trail heading east on highway 33 near Saddle Ridge and the Portage Country Club golf courses. Didn't get a good look at the TV (we are used to looking right past that at the camper). Not sure what...

While camping last weekend our AC quit blowing cold air. I left it on and it started blowing cold air again a short time later. This lasted about 30 minutes then it went back to no cold air. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Our outside kitchen has a dorm style fridge. Unless the outside kitchen door is open there is no ventilation. The fridge gets pretty hot. If you have an outside kitchen does your refrigerator run hot?

Any suggestions what to use to clean and polish the diamond plate rock guard on the front of our North Trail?

I know these are meant to wear some but has anyone had any issues with them bending? Had a four hour round trip pull today that seemed normal and shouldn't have put any extra strain on the hitch. Any idea what caused this? I had to tap them out with a hammer.

Is anyone going to be at MIS for the race weekend June 14-17? We will be camping in the infield near the entrance for pit road. Any tips for infield camping? We are borrowing a generator and bringing extra mats in case of rain.

Lots of people tow more than their max GVWR. This thread is not meant to encourage exceeding tow limits, but has anyone on the forum been required to weigh their set up to proove their GVWR has not been exceeded? How close is too close?

What are the limitations of the DVD's our Touch Audio system will play? We had only played one DVD in our Touch Audio system (Redbox rental that worked fine). It's been a rainy weekend so we wanted to watch a movie in our North Trail. The kids had already watched the movie on a cheap ($100...

We'll be picking our female Silver Lab up from the breeder on Saturday then its back to the campground for her first night with us. Haven't decided between Gracie and Ashlyn yet, we may have to flip a coin.

Not as much of a mod as a correction: Our Touch Audio stereo from the factory with the antenna cable still coiled (unable to pull in radio stations), video out (yellow) from the stereo to video in on the tv (correct), and audio in (red and white) to audio in on the tv(incorrect). I think the...

Any suggestions for campgrounds near Ripon, Wisconsin? Thanks in advance, Cliff and Mindy

Should the black water tank be flushed every time it's dumped or does it depend on how often it's used? How often do you flush yours?

When we've winterized our camper Mindy has always used dryer sheets and cotton balls with peppermint oil to keep out mice. It seemed to work fine on our other camper. First trip with the new camper and we already picked up a stowaway. This one won't crawl up our power cord again. What...

Mindy's sister and her husband are camper shopping. One they like is the Cougar 29RBK. Cougar is made by Keystone which along with Heartland is a Thor company. Is there any relationship between Keystone and Heartland or do they just happen to be owned by Thor?:confused: Happy camping! Cliff...

Well we're taking the 32BUDS on the first trip Saturday. Other circumstances kept us from leaving Friday but we'll still get one good day and night out. Can't wait to smell the campfire! Cliff and Mindy

My In-laws are shopping for a lightweight TT. North Trails are too heavy for them. We'd like to see them in a Heartland for obvious reasons. The WD3150DS Wilderness would meet their weight requirements. Does anyone have any experience or know anything about Wilderness RVs? Thanks in advance...

It seems that most people don't have any clearance issues with a spare tire mount under the front tongue on their TTs. If anyone out there that has had to relocate their spare for that reason please let us know? Cliff and Mindy

We're planning to get sewer hook ups whenever they're available. What's a good total length to buy? What brand(s) do you recommend? Thanks, Cliff and Mindy

We fell in love with the idea of an outside kitchen the first time we saw one. When we looked to upgrade from our cramped 23 foot Tahoe light we decided an outside kitchen was a must for us. Several salespeople tried to steer us away from them asking "how often would you use an outside kitchen...

Does anybody know of a source for RV outlets? We're adding some outlets to our North Trail and I can't use a standard household style retrofit box and outlet because of space limitations. There are some other outlets I could swap out with the household style but I'd rather get the right ones. I...

It's a pain to hold the mattress on our bed up to get to the storage underneath. We'd like to install lift supports under the plywood to hold it up. Has anyone done this? Thanks, Cliff and Mindy

We want to be able to push the seasons without having to use propane. We're hoping to be able to use electric heat at a campground without having to bring portable heaters so we're planning on adding a Heat Element to our Dometic AC Unit in our North Trail. Haven't started to research things...

We saw some options for raised wood refer panels while shopping for our TT. Ours didn't have any option for raised wood panels. Anyone have any idea where we can get the panels? Thanks in advance. Cliff

Heading to the RV show in Milwaukee Saturday. We're stopping at our dealer on the way there to have our WD hitch installed - planning on picking up the camper March 3rd and want to be ready to go.

Has anyone stayed at these Wisconsin Campgrounds? We are planning trips to each this summer and it would be great to know what to expect and if there are any local attractions we shouldn't miss. Thanks! Cliff

My wife and I purchased a 2012 32BUDS in late November. We asked the dealer to store it for the winter and we're planning on picking it up late March / early April. Our dealer found a big issue while they were moving it to get ready for a snowstorm, called us about it, and sent it back to...

Can anyone tell me what size tvs will fit in a 2012 32BUDS? I need the measurements for the living room tv spot and the spot for the tv in the bunkhouse. We'd like to get a bigger tv for the living room and move the one from the living room into the bunkhouse. Our camper is scheduled to arrive...

Has anyone had any experiences or have any info to share on LED lights? I'm not sure how LEDs (which operate on DC power) that are manufactured for DC fixtures compare, but here are some comparisons between LEDs for AC and AC incandescent lamps. There is some power lost when AC is converterted...

Anybody have any experience with aftermarket shower curtains? The OEMs seem pretty cheap. We plan on using our shower whenever we camp and it would like to get something nicer.

We're ready to close on a TT. The dealer has to put on a power tongue jack. Are there brands to look out for? I don't want to end up with one that has to work too hard and doesn't last.

Looking for info on sales departments and service departments. Has anyone had experiences (good or bad) with Freedom RV Travel Center in Slinger, WI or Wagners RV Center in Green Bay, WI? Please PM me if you don't feel comfortable posting public.

<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Can I get some opinions of slide toppers. A dealer told me it would be a good place to save some $. He said if leaves do get blown up under the slide topper that can be worse than trying to keep them out. Any thoughts?
