Northwood Nash 24M reviews

We bought the trailer brand new in 2015 and actually like it quite well. Great layout. Good quality. Not bad to pull. The problem we had is that at one of the door openings (it has two) the floor went soft. We had to take it in to get the floor replaced. The factory had missed sealing this entire door so whenever it rained it seeped in and affected the floor. You couldn't see the damage, it's all covered up. It took some time to make the floor go bad but eventually the area around the door got soft. It cost $1,500 to repair what should never have happened in the first place. We never got a response from Nash.... Show less

Great trailer overall in terms of floor plan for a bunkhouse. Good features such as fully insulated/heated plumbing. Coach and windows are well insulated - slept in several snow storms and hardly knew it with no frozen pipes. Nice gas access w/ the quick connect toward the back. Problem is that Northwood seems to have put bad leaf springs in the suspension system on those manufactured around this time. Had one break had it and its twin on that axle replaced and now the other broke on the other side. The repair people said it was pretty unusual on a trailer of this age and even said that they've seen most trailers go their whole life span w/ out broken springs. I see others post the same problem with their 2014 Nash trailers. On a dual axle, a broken spring is very dangerous as the wheels can contact each other in tow. I called Northwood and they said to contact the company that made the suspension - no response. I posted a bad review on Google and a Northwood rep responded dismissively saying they didn't install "bad" springs and suggesting it must be something I did - overloading the trailer - which I've never done - admitting that they "upgraded" springs for more capacity on later trailers which I get for marketing to new buyers but does nothing for MY trailer and ME! My trailer has been very pampered with very few miles on it and covered in storage most of its life so far. I get that these things require maintenance and can cost quite a bit to do so - but it seems only fair that Northwood should offer some way to make good on this. Not happy right now. Show less

We bought this Nash 24M trailer new in 2014 and have been completely happy with it. It is very well thought out, tows great, 4 season, nice interior, has great storage and is the best over all travel trailer we've owned. Show less

Purchased our Nash 24M new in spring 2017. We loved the floorplan and the slide out couch. Incredible room with it out and easily workable even with it in. Ours has double pane windows which I would recommend - no condensation and stays cooler. We held out for this year because of the fabric and the 100% LED's. Our intent was to get something that would go off road and gravel, dry camp and stay together and Nash seemed to fill the bill. We saw other 24M's with a few issues (poor trim, cabinet doors, etc) before we bought this one. We have had zero issues with six trips and 4,000 miles. We have dragged it off road in the desert to the top of a ridge over a trail w no issues. Another 60 miles of gravel with no issues. Upon delivery we had one issue - a hammer type indent in the dining room table and the dealer swapped it out at delivery. On trip four our water lines coming off of the water pump were thumping against the seat frame but a quick wrap with pipe insulation fixed it. The trailer sits high which is good off road but this does create more wind resistance when towing. The tongue height is equal with the tailgate down so we have to pad the tailgate to put it down while hooked up. We tow it with a 5.7L Tundra. Plenty of power and braking through the mountains, marginal fuel mileage - 9.4 mpg or less when towing. Trailer weighs 6,450 lbs fully loaded. It is under the 9,000 lb rating of our Tundra configuration but I would not recommend going any heavier. We feel blessed to have gotten a great trailer with zero issues at this point. We plan on this one being in the fold for a long time. Great job Northwood Crew! Show less

Bought this trailer new in 2014. So many problems it's hard to know where to start. Some just simple quality control, some design and some misrepresentation. Here's the list: 2 cupboard doors fell off as pilot screw holes were too big( same on the key rack). Undersink electronic junction box was never screwed to the wall! Wire broke when swinging around. Kinked water line meant no hot water to sink. Kitchen drawers so poorly installed that the bottom of one drags on the top of the next- almost scraping through the bottom, he'd to re-install drawer glides. Screws not installed straight on several bits of hardware. Awning attachment rail was never installed correctly( gaps in dried caulking and resultant leaks). Vinyl cover strip on corners and roof all shrunk several inches, pulling out of corners and caulking- had to be replaced. could not attach gas line to BBQ as no room between swing arm and trailer. Sawdust everywhere! First time turned on the a/c it blew everywhere- still a problem years later. Viewing angle from sofa to tv such that can't see screen- had to install shim so TV viewable. Roughly 15,000km on trailer ( 95% on pavement and no Off-roading) 2 springs broken and 2 inverted and ready to break. Cost me $950 for whole new suspension set up. Local suspension expert said springs were badly undersized. Had a flat tire, when I took it in for repair, I found out it had been badly repaired (patch over nail that was not removed) before I bought the "new" trailer. Poorly latching doors, must deadbolt to ensure they stay closed. Water pump had to be replaced. On the plus side, dealer installed solar panels are great and it looks good. Show less

I really like the layout and the overall quality of the Nash 24M. One problem I am having is with broken springs. The first spring broke (drivers side front) on a trip this year (2017) and the second one broke today (2017). The trailer is rated at 7,000 lbs and the axle springs are 3,500 lbs. This leaves no safety margin. The trailer is rated for off-road use if anyone knows what that is. Anyone else we have this experience? I tow underweight and level. Show less

This is our second Nash, as we had our first one for 17 years. Mainly used for local camping trips. We purchased the 24m in Feb.2017. It took a numbers of phone calls to get the instruction books from the dealer that we purchased it from as very few came with the trailer. That experience was pretty frustrating. The quality of this trailer is not as good as the 2000 Nash we had. The bathroom Medicine cabinet is about as cheap as they could get, very poor quality. Show less

This is generally a good unit ... BUT ... the attention to detail a quality of workmanship leaves a lot to be desired. We've had the unit since fall 2016 and have had the following issues (note that because we are travelling across Canada the dealer hasn't had a chance to address these yet) Gas water heater stopped working almost immediately Spark igniters for stove short out to pan - found this out with a bang Trailer brake wiring rubbed on tires and shorted out Power tongue jack stopped working (not the fuse) Bathroom sink drain not properly sealed, taps need plumbers tape to stop leaking We are pulling this with an F150, 5.0 L gas, it works and is safe, but recommend an F250, or larger motor and air bag suspension Show less

This is our second Nash trailer. First was a 2014 23D. Second is a 2015 24M. Many issues on first but all were fixed by our dealer. Both trailers had plumbing issues under shower which saturated all underbelly insulation and the amount of sawdust and construction debris left under cabinets, shower and furnace is atrocious. Second trailer 24M had 2 outside wall delaminations but new skins were put on both walls. After 18 months travelling thru Utah we had a broken spring and ended up replacing all 4 as others were bent and flat . This is exactly the same problem others have experienced. Factory rep did not respond to our email. Trailer is definitely not overloaded as we always travel light. Trailer is marketed as off road chassis and certified chassis. Repair facility said springs are too light for trailer. Not recommending this brand anymore. Show less

We have a 2014 24M and after 2 years one of the leaf springs broke and the others are either bent and or damaged. The repair facility has found that those parts are made anymore and that the springs were undersized for the trailer. Appears that they just put some separate parts together and made a suspension system that would only last 2 years without being able to replace the parts. Phone calls and emails to Northwood Manufacturing were not answered. Show less
