I'm looking for information specific to the water panel if any might have a diagram or visual reference to which inlets/outlets/valves control what.

The manual that Northwood includes with this trailer wasn't specific to the model itself, and surprisingly doesn't include any picture or diagram which details connections, valves and so forth.

If it came from the factory with labels affixed to the various components, they've long since fallen off or become unreadable.

Might any here with the same (or a similar enough model) have a visual reference they could share on this, please?
Congrats, that is a sweet looking trailer.

Had a Nash 22M for years built in 2005. It was heavy built with stick and tin. I sold it and tried some other trailers, ended up with a Rockwood ultra lite by FR.

Just bought a 2019 Nash 26N. Getting ready to hit the road for real.

2008!

Our first trailer, purchased a couple of years ago, is a 2008 Nash 25S. We are loving this trailer. The price was right, it's in great shape and is an awesome floor plan. We're having so much fun being "rv'ers" !

2014 Wolf Creek 850SB, I took delivery mid-August 2013 in Palmer Alaska. I've been really happy for over eleven years now and have only dealt with a few repairs over the years. No plans on changing rigs, I have this one pretty much figured out and made it my own.

We've got a 2011 Desert Fox SW-21 Toy Hauler.

This has been a wonderful investment. We've pulled this guy into the puckerbrush meeting spots favored by our riding friends many times with our dirt bikes in the back. Rough roads have not caused any problems. We've pulled this back to the Midwest several times with our big road bikes in the rear.

We've now got her up for sale, as we replaced her with a new Outdoors RV 29TRX Titanium toy hauler.

Based on delivery date, our 2025 Arctic Fox 27-5l is one day old. It came off the production line earlier this month. Our previous rig was a 14 year old SOB 24’ travel trailer that we bought new. We are so excited and hope to do more than camp in the driveway this fall, but snow is on the way.

I am noticing that people hang onto Northwood trailers. Plenty of them are 20-25 years old or more.

My 2019 model still has alder wood cabinets which I like. The company did not change over to the black and white and grey color themes like everyone else in the industry.

Still has a propane or 120v refrigerator. Great windows which are getting hard to find. 3 burner stove and a real oven. It has no solar but I am working on a system now. Tried it once last week for a few days. Great place to be.

It also allows for a pretty big pantry.

We had our last 5r for almost 15 years and I'm looking to get 20+ out of this one. I am keeping an eye on posts from you all with older rigs.
This is why we held out for the 2024 27-5L, they finally updated the interior!

For an oddball, and I have no idea if the factory did it or the 1st owner...but someone installed a Rheem 20gal electric water heater under the kitchen sink and tied it into the TT water line, so that plus the 12gal Suburban water heater we have 32gal of hot water, and i never run out when doing dishes or taking a shower. It may have been done by the factory because I can see no way of getting that thing in there through any of the cabinet doors without ripping apart all of that cabinetry. We love it regardless LOL.

Hi, I’m curious of knowing why you had to replaced the roof, how much did it cost .
My roof is not in great shape, I avoided walking on the soft area, there’s a roughly a 3’x2’ of stain on the ceiling, i lived in it thru this winter and no issues, Alberta Canada , thinking of having the roof replaced this year,

Thanks

I replaced the roof because the TPO was chalky and would wipe off on your hand. It wasn’t leaking, yet. Replaced it in 2020 I think for about $5k.
