2003 National Tradewinds
Two years ago I traded my 203 National Tradewinds for a 2013 Newmar Canyon Star at the FMCA Rally in Indio. I have often wondered who ended up with the Tradewinds. I loved it and regretted.
I had to part with it. It had a strange quirk and I told the dealer about it and I may have solved the problem before I turned it in. A couple or three times I would be driving along and attempt to make a left turn and the steering would lock up. I would continue straight and at the next right it usually completer the turn.
I was told it was the Mitre box steering and replaced that before I turned it in. I didn't want someone to buy it and something happen. If the dealer left all the records in the Tradewinds the new owner would know, I doubt they did, sometimes dealers can be a little shady. I bought the Tradewinds in 2002 at a show in Sacramento, Ca. Loved it. I also replace the house batteries and tires.
