Before I order a Sundance, I would appriciate current owners sharing any quality issues they experienced with the trailer and would you buy another Sundance.
Dixie,
We took delivery of our 2900MK 3 months ago (and it's our first 5th wheel so take this with a grain of salt) and are very pleased with how well put together the unit is. There have been -- and likely will be -- some issues but nothing serious and we've not had to take it back to the dealer for anything.
One problems we've had was that an exterior seal on the bed slide (that has a longer than needed sweep) came off the track from the friction of opening and closing the slide. Some new screws, a straight edge and a good knife fixed this without any recurring issues.
Other, very minor, issues included a "missing" light fixture under the microwave (upside is that we got to pick what we wanted), shade anchors that came out the first time the shade was lifted (slightly longer screws was the easy fix) and the lack of labels on the switches in the closet (again, easy to figure out, and a Dymo labeller put to good use).
The TV and "stereo" (Coby DVD player) are crap, as are the chairs and sofa, but we knew that going in. We never planned on keeping the chairs and sofa but replacing them with wall-away recliners and a multi-purpse desk/table that better suits what we do. We have replaced the TV with a widescreen LCD, and the "stereo" with something worthy of that name. We didn't buy the "house" for the appliances...
For the price, the unit we have is the best 3-slide unit with the largest floor area and best quality construction we could afford. We looked at others (Denali, Mountaineer, Savoy and more) but nothing approached the look and feel of the Sundance, together with the amenities we wanted at the price we wanted. We're happy campers (and plan to, eventually, full-time).
Hope this helps,
Phil
