    Screen door hinge

    The screen door hinges on our 2010 Sundance 3200RE have cracked and the bottom one has broken. I will need to replace all of them but I am not sure how! Furthermore, I am not sure why they cracked! Any ideas would be helpful!

    Can't fill fresh water tank all the way

    Getting the camper ready for this weekend and the same old problem creeps up...I can't fill the tank more than 1/3 full! I put a smaller hose down into the tank but to no avail. I decided to give up, then I thought.....hmmmm maybe others have a SIMPLE solution! Thanks to boatdoc and...

    Truck bed cover with combo tool box & transfer tank installed

    Biggest problem with my soft cover is trying to get it snapped/fastened when the temp is below 32 degrees. A hard cover would be nice but I have found they are not cheap!

    Slam door locks

    My key will open ANY RV compartment. (Jayco, Coachmen,etc.) Not sure about the slam door models. I was told you need to have a locksmith change the locks if you don't want the geneic one!

    Cleaning out the anti-freeze

    Spring is just around the corner and I am getting antsy to get the camper and begin the process of getting it ready for the season. One question, I winterized the camper by sticking a hose in antifreeze and opening all the faucets til the water ran pink! Can I do the same thing to clear the...

    Heartland Acquires Fleetwood Towable Brands

    Our first camper was a Coleman. It was a wonderful little camper. I couldn't believe when Coleman sold it to FW. I just hope that Heartland did buy that camper too. It is a towable and I do believe it would be a valuable asset for Heartland! JMHO

    A Scene out of Hitchcock's "The Birds"

    While camping at Maumee Bay State Park last summer, we had a Cardinal that would not leave our rear window alone. He also would bang into the mirrors on the truck so we had to keep the windows closed! He was entertaining to say the least!

    Christmas Wishes to the ACLU

    Seems that everyone wants to blame the current administration for both wars and trouncing of the Constitution. My only question is "where were you when Duba was in office?" There is plenty of blame to go around on both side of the aisle. Remember this IS a forum for Heartland Products, not...

    Factory Repairs Reply

    When Elaine and I were looking for our camper I joined this forum. I ready a lot of negatives about the various Heartland products. BUT I also went to other forums and not one responded to owners concerns like the Heartland Company! Sure I have had a few problems, not the least our dealer...

    Factory Repairs

    IMHO Looking at the pictures and judging from the quality I do not believe this ever went to the factory! I think the dealer said he shipped it back and it went to a small repair shop in NV instead! Why would the factory paint over a decal or mask off a decal when a new one would be cheaper...

    New Sundance Owner -- Yeah

    First off, congratulations! But for the dealer,AAC, I wouldn't hold my breath for service. I "tried" to get service, since I didn't buy it there (my dealer went out of business) they would "try to get to it IF I left it there and they "might" get to it but it would be at least 2 weeks AND only...

    Now a Good Time to Buy?

    I sold cars part-time when I was fresh out of college. The Sales Manager always said that the person who came in on the nastiest days WOULD be a buyer! He was usually correct, I made a few sales on cold, wet, crappy days. Cars vs RV might be a bit different, the person looking for a car really...

    Wet basement WHY?

    I have the same model...my basement got wet when the check valve on the city water failed! It emptied the fresh water tank, with a lot going into the basement. But I take it you are connected to city water...so that would not be a factor. It sounds more like it could be the trap right in...

    2010 Sundance 287RL Winterizing Problem

    I had the same thing happen when I first got the camper. Had the dealer replace it ONLY to go out that weekend! The next time I had it replaced it was with a BRASS one! The factory got a s***load of bad ones! I did get a hose plug to stop the water until it got fixed! Yes it made a mess in...
