Hi I just recently noticed a few things that seem to be bad with our slide out on our 2009 26RKS. We go on many trips each year so the slide gets a big workout. Note that after 5 years of use, this is the first time we've encountered problems with it Problem 1: From the outside, looking at the...

Thanks for the help! It turns out that one of my led lights shorted out and caused the 15a fuse to blow. Never seen that before

Have a 2009 Northtrail that has wfco 8955a converter. Overhead bedroom lamp stopped working this morning. Checked fuse, blown; replaced and blew it again when I turned the light on. Light worked last night. All other circuits seem to work properly. Any idea where I should start looking...

have a northtrail 26rks and inadvertently poked a 1.5" by 4" hole in the fiberglass exterior about 3" below the roof line and a few inches to the left of the left awning. How did it happen .. Lets just say it was a dumb move on my part. I put some white duct tape to temporarily cover it but...

My wife absolutely hates our dual-basin kitchen sink. It has stains in it that won't come out and she wants to replace it with a single basin sink. We've searched on the internet and found a number of replacements that are similar to what we have but .. no ... she wants just one basin. Have any...

starting at the top of the fusebox (which is labeled ciruit 1), drop down to the 4th fused circuit. Yes, they are labeled, but most of them are mis-labeled. I was unable to find anything that runs on that circuit and am curious as to what it might be

Re: Refrigerator and Furnace fan won't come on - FIXED Fixed... no 12v power to inline fuse. Decided to look underneath the slideout .. found old fire extinguisher that had been lost for a few months. Apparently it rolled around and knocked of the electrical twist cap on the +side of the 12v...

Just a few follow up points I have a dometic DM2652 Refrigerator Regarding checking the GFI .. did that already .. plugged my Ipad in the outlet and all was well. Thanks

Can you tell me what is wired to the 4th DC circuit on my unit. Thanks Frank

Good news and bad news .. Results of troubleshooting The furnace works fine . it was a @#$!@# on my part. The temp on the thermostat was set too low. Once I corrected that, the blower fan works. The bad news is that I still don't have a working reefer. The inline fuse and two circuit board...

yep, mine has the little red led lights and none show a fault. I still checked the fuses anyways to make sure.I do not have a fuse marked as refrig fan or furnace fan. However, there is one marked as plain fan and it controls the stove fan and the bathroom fan. I am going to troubleshoot each...

Thanks JohnDar Your picture helps a lot and it does look very similar to mine. I did not see the inline fuse but will check closer

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions ... I checked the battery voltage and it is fine. I unplugged AC power and I was able to put out the slide and bring back in. I assume that this puts enough of a load on the battery to verify it is ok Regarding the refer circuit board fuses .. I...

Regarding checking the fuses .... I unplugged the ac power cord, unhooked the batteries and then went to the converter and took each fuse out separately and checked to make sure I did not have an open circuit. There are 9 - 15a plugin fuses and 2 - 40amp plug in fuses .. All showed that they...

Howdy I have a 2009 26RKS and we just got back from camping. Before we left the campground, I noticed that the refrigerator "auto" light was off when it should not have been. Once I got home I tried to turn on the Dometic refrigerator using electric or gas and nothing happened. I checked all...

Pocohorse Here are the pictures of our LCD Television mount on the 26RKS. We are quite happy with the way it all works out. The picture on the far right shows the lcd flex arm in the stored position when traveling. The picture in the middle shows how the television would be placed for...

We have a 26RKS and agree that mounting an LCD on the provided shelf would make it too high. We tried it and did not like it. We also explored putting a mounting bracket on the wall as you suggested and decided that it would get in our way when eating, etc. We decided to put the mounting...

Nice work .. I especially like the BR Closet shelves. How did you attach the shelf supports? Did you have some studs to nail against?

We stayed at Mountain Meadows RV Park in Hungry Horse which is just a few miles from the Park. We really enjoyed it and the facility could easily support big rigs. I saw a few big horn's while I was there. If I ever make it back there again, this will be my RV park of choice. We looked at the...

Refrig not running on gas -- Is your gas stove working properly? It takes a while to get the gas flowing to all the appliances the first time after I've had the propane tanks disconnected or tuirned off. Not sure why but once the gas flows, then all is well. This is the only issue I've ever seen...

After looking at the main preserve we wanted to use, we were left less than impressed. We could definitely tell that these were older preserves that hadn't kept up with the times. Oh well, maybe next time.

Thank you for all the replies. We will be visiting a few sites tomorrow to see how the preserves look. If all is well then I think we are going to go for it

Received an invite from TT to join them. They call it their 40th Anniversary special. This is a special offer that allows camping in either the Western zone (35+ locations) or the Eastern zone. We would choose the Western zone. The cost is $300 per year for 3 years. There are no restrictions on...

Sorry, I haven't been visiting this forum often, as I seem to spend all my time at northtrailtalk.com I have my RV serviced at Moscow RV in Moscow ID and I think they do a great job. Unfortunately, you are almost 6 hours away the status of my front crease is that it is still there but not for...

I have that same crease that you are describing. The good news is that it is a cosmetic thing more than anything else. The crease occurs where 2 4*8 sheets meet. I brought mine in to have it fixed and we tried to just brace the back and it didn't really work. I am taking it back in in the next...

I just had the same problem on my last camping trip and discovered that the hose got kinked somehow. The back pressure caused by the kink created a leak at the hose connector and I didn't notice it for a while. Was somewhat of a mess

I have the same model and I had the same problems initially and did the following 1) cleaned out the flow restrictor on the kitchen faucet and bathroom .. lots of junk had collected there and that let the water flow better. 2) put some padding between the water lines feeding the pump...

Hi Jerry I called the parts department at Heartland and they said they didn't have these wheel chocks. Do you know if they ever decided to make them available to the dealers? Thanks Frankj

I had a somewhat similar problem but it was the wiring. When I filled my gray tank, it showed that the black was filling up. I know that both the gray and black are labeled correctly outside (flushed the black and the water came out as it was supposed to). Heartland told me which wires to swap...

Yes, you should be able to retract manually if all else fails. You need to figure out where the motor is first. In my case, I have a 26RKS and the motor is located at the top of the slide right in the center. I have to take off the fascia to get to it. There are about 6 or so screws that have...

Thanks Jim, I appreciate the help! Best regards Frank

Howdy I just noticed that I have a crease showing on my new 26RKS. It showed up sometime after I got home from Elkhart last week and it seems to be getting more visible. The crease is right above the North Trail name and below the mountain logo and it starts about 12 - 14 inches from the left...

Cool, thanks!

We picked up our new travel trailer from them last week and the folks that participated in the PDI (walk thru and fixing) were excellent and very knowledgeable. The facilities are very nice and we even camped out in their back yard for an evening.

very nice! what is that adapter that you have coming out of the city water inlet (the thing that is parallel to the ground) that your hose hooks too? Is that the pressure regulator or is it something else? Thanks Frank

I just returned from a trip from WA to Elkhart to pick up my new North Trail 26RKS. The folks at Great Lakes RV / RV Capital Wholesalers did a great job of getting the unit ready for me. The lengthy PDI did not find many issues and those that were identified were addressed quickly. I did have...

Thanks Mike, Based on what you said, it sounds like my unit should have been scheduled for build around the week of April 7th since it was ordered the week of March 10th. It isn't going very far (RV Capital Wholesalers in Elkhart) so hopefully they will be getting it in the next week or so so I...

Howdy How long does it typically take to manufacture a new 26RKS? I ask because I've had one on order since the 10th of March and still don't have a delivery date for it. I received the VIN number of March 20th. Thanks Frank

Howdy As I anxiously await my new North Trail, I decided to get my old travel trailer ready for sale. For the first time ever, I discovered that I had a flat tire on the left front. Where should I place the jack to raise the tire off the ground? I have a 2 ton sears jack that I can roll out...

Thanks for the response! I assumed it would be OK to walk directly on it based on the picture that has the ATV with the driver sitting on the roof. However, this is my first new TT and I really don't want mess anything up by doing something I shouldn't.
