    Heartland Travel Trailers - Reviews and Opinions

    We have had our 2011 Heartland Sundance 3200 FK (yes, it is a TT, not a Sundance 5th wheel) since the end of 2011. We love it. There have been some very minor problems, but nothing that I wouldn't expect from any other TT. The issues included a small leak from a turned under slide out seal...

    How Necessary is a Weapon?

    I know this is a serious topic that brings out a lot of strong opinions, but this thread made me think of a funny thing that we heard last week. We noticed that the campground employee who drives the "honey wagon" was carrying a 9 mm in a holster while emptying our tank. My husband asked him...

    Radio Antenna

    We had an external antenna on the top of our 2011 Sundance 3200 FK...until this year. After starting to get really bad radio reception, we noticed that the stubby black rubber antenna is missing. While closing it up/winterizing Saturday I took a close look at where the antenna was, but can't...

    Nerves are frayed today

    Good luck! Thanks for taking time to help me with my stove issue. I'm hoping that your helpfulness brings you good camping Karma and you make it through the storm without damage! :)

    Stovetop spark ignition wires

    Thanks for the quick responses! The wires are about twice as long as needed, so I think I can cut out the stripped portion. I should also pick up some Rescue tape for my next mishap! :) Thanks again! I'll post again after my repair attempt.

    Stovetop spark ignition wires

    Happy spring everyone! Just opening up the trailer for the season and the stovetop burners won't light with the spark ignition. I took the cover off and saw evidence of mice. It looks like the mice have stripped the ignition wires in a few places, causing the spark to occur in the middle of...

    Looking at buying a 2011 Sundance 3200RL

    We've had our 2011 Sundance 3200FK TT for a year and love it! It's very similar to the RL, but the floorplan is flipped - our kitchen is in the front, living room in the middle, then the bathroom and the bedroom is in the back. Our kitchen is a little larger, with more counterspace, but the RL...

    When is the best time to buy?

    We bought our Sundance last November during the end of year sale for a great price. (About 35 - 40% off MSRP) The only drawback was that our orientation/PDI was also last November, so some things were a little fuzzy in May when we finally got to use the trailer! (Thanks Heartland Forum for...

    owners manual 1980 prowler travel trailer

    Hi Taestus - My husband and I just gave away our 84 or 85 Prowler this past spring when we bought our Sundance. We never had an owners' manual (bought it used) but may be able to answer simple questions if you can't find an owners' manual from Fleetwood. We had our Prowler (I think the model...

    A case for checking your truck after repairs

    Re: You better check it out My DH and I learned our lesson on this one last summer. We normally go to our trusted mechanic Pete but were short on time before leaving for our trailer so he took his truck to a "Jiffy Lube" type place for an oil change and tire rotation. About an hour and a...

    Outside TV Question...

    Thanks Dave - our Sundance is a TT, not a 5er (I know, kind of unusual, they seem to have stopped making them) but the connection seems to be about in the same place, just on the outside, so I think everything should work. OK, two trusted opinions from the forum - it's time to start TV...

    Outside TV Question...

    Thanks for the quick and helpful reply! We do have an unlabeled co-ax connection just to the left of the main (living room) door, which is where I had planned to hook up the TV. I remember seeing a labeled cable connection on the back (bumper) end of the trailer next to a labeled telephone...

    Water leak while slides are in.

    Check your rubber slide seal all the way around to make sure it's not getting "tucked in" when you are putting the slide in our out. We have one corner on our front slide seal that gets tucked in when we put the slide out. We flip it up into its correct position then somehow it gets tucked in...

    Outside TV Question...

    Hello everyone! I have a (probably stupid) question about the TV connection on the outside of the RV. Does this connection work with the regular antenna on top of the trailer and the antenna boost? I was going to buy a small TV to put in the bedroom that we could also use outside on the deck...

    ATF: Sundance - Sundance trailer - Heat Damage to Outside Shower Door

    Re: ATF: Sundance - Sundance trailer is a fire hazard My Sundance has an outside shower that is not even close to the water heater. The water heater is near the rear of the trailer while the shower is about mid trailer.
