Which switch are you referring to?

Already checked. It does this even when I bypass the sail switch. Besides, it wouldn't ignite if the sail switch were open.

So my furnace is acting up: 1. It starts normally. 2. After a few seconds it ignites and you hear the roar of burning propane. 3. After a variable interval of 2-30 seconds, flame shuts off. This interval seems to get shorter the more it repeats. 4. Goes back to #2 and repeats cycle. Fan...

No, it's a regular 120V plug-in TV.

I've been very happy with mine. Only problem was the shower drain leaking. You need to replace the rigid drain pipe with a flexible one, so it won't crack. There are lots of other posts on this forum and the Facebook groups about this. Also, a tip: Check your outdoor kitchen faucets before...

I've been using Command hooks and self-adhesive towel bars with reckless abandon to help store and organize stuff. Recently I found that the outer, patterned layer of the paneling is bubbling, causing the hooks to sag. I had reinstall everything with hollow wall anchors. This only occurred...

Crooked salesman. I just bought 4 Goodyear Endurance tires direct from Goodyear about 2 weeks ago. Rob

Yes, I never would have guessed writing with chalk on the fridge. It's on the Heartland website now and there's a sticker on the fridge on the new models. Sounds like a big mess to me though! I have the kids do their chalk art on the pavement outside. Thanks...Rob

Thanks for sharing! Nice video. My camper has a plug on the frame near the battery box instead of roof wires. I'm thinking of mounting a solar panel on my MaxxAir cover! That way I won't mess with the roof at all.

I used the InterVac CS-8, corded version. These use standard 1-1/4” vacuum attachments, which you can buy anywhere. On factory-equipped models, the vacuum is installed in the pantry cabinet next to the bathroom, just above the circuit breaker/fuse panel. The cabinet is greatly modified and...

New tires ready to go! Goodyear has a mobile service - they came right out to the storage facility and changed the tires there.

I would really like to have a solar panel to trickle charge my camper while it's in storage, as I don't have shore power. Mounting on the roof seems logical, but I have an EPDM roof and I'm terrified to do anything to the roof. I could do some kind of temporary setup and take it down when I...

I have an appointment tomorrow morning to replace the OEM tires on my camper with Goodyear Endurance. OEM tires are less than 2 years old. Thanks for sharing this post, now I feel better about the money I'm spending! Rob

So, next question...replace the one bad tire with sidewall damage, or all 4? These are the OEM tires, "Ridgway Sport ST," and are only 1-1/2 years old. It seems wasteful to replace tires that aren't even 2 years old...and I only take the trailer out about once a month. They don't have many...

The number of different brands from the same manufacturer is mind boggling. I'm not sure there is a distinct hierarchy. It seems like they make the same thing in 20 different color schemes. You really have to walk through some trailers to get a feel for them. The online pictures always look...

Just discovered this on the sidewall of one of my trailer tires. How bad is this?

I don't have this model, but from looking at the pictures I can say it almost certainly has storage there. You can actually see cabinet doors in the pictures. I also upgraded from a Forest River Palomino hybrid to a North Trail, and have been very pleased with it. Happy shopping...Rob

Following because I want to know too. I have 2 boys who would LOVE to sleep in the upper bunk of my 24bhs, but I'm terrified they will fall out. I'm thinking some kind of netting, like a grid made of nylon straps, across the opening would work well. There are sturdy studs to adhere it to. I...

Here are some things to try: -The lights need to be turned on at the switch -Check if there is a little plastic or paper thing to pull out to activate the battery -Maybe it needs a new battery -I've found you have to point the remote right at the receiver, which on mine is at the front end of...

Make a checklist of all the things you need to do before moving your trailer. Even obvious things. It’s so easy to forget something important. Examples: -raise stabilizer jacks -retract slide -lock refrigerator door -stow all loose interior items -retract awning -check lug nut torque -check...

Mine came prewired without the camera. I installed the camera, and found it only works with the running lights on. That's how they prewired it. So I keep the running lights on when I'm driving. I like having the camera on all the time. I find it very helpful to have that rear view when...

Ask away, that's what we're here for! You should also have a small remote that changes the color of the lights - lots of fun! Enjoy your new camper.

I noticed the description for most North Trail RVs, including my own, lists a "kids doodle station" as a kitchen feature. What is this? I don't see anything on my camper that meets this description. I have 2 little kids, so I'm very interested!

How about the awning lights? You’ll only be able to see this if you fully extend the awning.

Try removing the panel under your oven. The water pump is probably in there. Good luck...hope it’s an easy fix. Rob

Yes, I had the same problem in my NT 24bhs. Even though the tub is supported, there's a cutout around the drain, and the area near the drain still flexes quite a bit when you step on it. I ended up fabricating some additional support with a 2x4 so the tub would not flex when I stand in it. The...

What I'm about to say applies to the Texas area - I don't know about the rest of the country.The Corps of Engineer parks definitely take reservations (recreation.gov). Some are closed for the winter. The COE parks are generally very nice and usually have reservable waterfront sites, covered...

I've had some damage to the awning and roof of my North Trail. I took it to the dealer and got an estimate around $19,000 which exceeds the value of the trailer. My insurance wants me to take it to one of these companies which are their designated shops: -Camping World in Alvarado, TX -North...

Thanks, good thoughts. I appreciate the input. I looked at it and the tub is well supported. It sits on a block of rigid foam, which sits on a sheet of plywood supported by 2x4s. The drain pipe has a support, too, under the bunk bed, but it's about 3 feet away. So I will probably add a 2x4...

So I was taking a nice shower when I noticed a flood in the bathroom. On further inspection, the p-trap under the tub was broken in two different places. There are captive nuts on each end of the trap, and both had split circumferentially. Maybe the installer over-tightened them? This...

THIS ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ If joint between the ball and the coupler is "stretched" or "squished" too much it will be hard to disengage. Move your tow vehicle a few inches forward or backward until the release lever moves freely. Be sure your trailer is chocked and your stabilizer jacks are up. - - -...

That’s my assumption, that they are decorative, and maybe for a little extra visibility so people don’t crash into your trailer at night when it’s in a park. I don’t think they are for driving since the control is inside the storage compartment. But they are surprisingly bright for a...

Hi gang...my North Trail 24BHS has 2 blue led lights on the front of the trailer. They look like eyes. They are controlled by a switch inside the pass-through storage compartment. What is the purpose of these lights?

Here's the ladder I built with about $6 worth of lumber: (It make accessing the top bunk MUCH easier)

Here's my sort-of tutorial, complete with photos: https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/74291-North-Trail-24BHS-TV-installation?highlight=24bhs+tv Or search "North Trail 24BHS TV installation" if that doesn't work. You can find the internal mounting board easily by tapping and pressing...

Is it your water heater? That describes the water heater on my 24bhs. The screws are for access to the bypass valves for winterizing.

I just built a ladder using inexpensive lumber. It was a lot of work but I love working with wood. I’ll grab some pics of the ladder this weekend. Pictures will be worth a thousand words. Rob #2

My name is Rob too! I posted the TV install thread, so I’m glad it helped. I agree with the other Rob, there is a ton of storage to be had under the bunk. It’s a big project; I haven’t done it yet. I put paper towel racks over the kitchen and outdoor kitchen sinks. i added a battery cutoff...

Now that’s clever! :cool:
