Get the second air conditioner for the bedroom, it might be to late but if there is an axle upgrade go for it, we upgraded our refridger from the standard 6 sq foot to 8 sq foot but really didn't help a lot. Get a hitch system to improve the ride and keep the road shock off the camper, our 3300SK came with shocks which helps but there are other improvements to soften the ride for the camper. We've lived in our 3300SK for 13 out of the last 17 months have had very few problems of which I repaired. Good luck, be safe and have a good time.

Don't want to hijack, but what's the issue with the electric awning and the wind?

i have a 2900mk 2009 and a curt 20k hitch(800 dollars installed).havent experienced the "chucking "others talk about,pulls great,had to use highest hitch setting for bed rail clearance 2007 chevy 2500hd.the 16 inch wheels are nice 10 gallon hw heater,heartland makes a quality unit you wont regret it !!!!buckeyebob
Thanks everyone! I did consider the second ac as we live in Florida. Then my brother told me we could have his brand new 13,500 low profile with a heat pump!! Still in the box! I do have a question about the heighth change to the vehicle... anyone know if this will make the vehicle taller than the 11' 10" it's advertised to be?? Guess it will depend on the exact location in the bedroom of the ac? We also plan on an electric awning AND rear jacks... Thanks for the input!
thanks, yes the 50 amp is a priority for us! Has anyone with the bedroom ac measured the heighth of their vehicle?? We are limited due to an enclosed storage space.. Heartland fortunately includes second ac prep as standard in the Sundance Package! (along with many other previous options)
I bought my 2900mk off the lot and it has most of the options except the 50 amp service which I wish it had. I haven't experienced the wind problem with the electric awning.
I do get a bit of "chucking" when towing but not bad. Just ordered a set of air bags that I hope will resolve that issue , plan to install them this week.
Good luck with your Sundance.

All the input is great, helps me get a clear picture of what we might need, want, etc. Does anyone have the dual pane windows? I am wondering if they truly help with the heat/cold insulating issue? Our fifth wheel now is terrible in regards to no insulation, therefore it gets VERY cold in the winter, and barely keeps up with ac in the hot summers... I know the underbelly being covered should help, but I am paranoid from my present experience.

We have the dual panes and wouldn't have another rig without them. I think the sound deadening alone is worth the price. We were in campground close to the interstate , we could hear all the road noise in the neigbors rig but not in ours. In our previous rig we had a lot of condensation on the windows in cold weather , we have no problems with this rig.
I would also make sure to check that the 50 amp upgrade includes the wiring for the AC to be on the safe side. I think one other thing I would get is 16 inch wheels , not sure if that is changed from 15 inch for the new year but don't think so........Kenny
