    Portable Generator

    We have a Honda 3000 installed in back of unit with gen in a Gear Deck box. In order to keep vibration to a minimum, I install a flip down stabalizer leg (Atwood stabalizer) to bottom of Gear Deck box. It has a telescoping extender on it. However, even without the leg down, there is very little...

    heat while driving

    We have had our Sundance for a couple of years and have allways traveled in the winter (going south) with the propane on and the furnace set to about 50 to 60 degrees. We have never had a problem with this (we do shut off before doing gas fills on road). This way we can run with water on board...

    Equa-Flex™ Suspension System

    We have a 2008 Sundance 3200SE with the 6000# axles and 16" wheels, plus the shocks. We pull it with an 05 Chev 2500 CC with D/A. It pulls and rides very well. Hardly anything moves inside during travel. We do not tie down chairs, etc. and they hardly move. Even things we leave on counters seem...

    Opinion on Sundance 5th wheel

    We have had our 08 Sundance 3200ES for almost a year and really love it. After having motorhomes for over 30 years, it was quite a change to go to a fifthwheel, but same size fifth gave us more room. We ordered the Eurolounge chairs and with the entertainment slide, makes a very nice living...

    Sundance mods

    Traveler07, I have the same Gear Deck generator box. I am wondering how you mounted the bike rack with just one 2" hitch receiver.

    Schematics

    Creeper, I agree with you. I owned 6 class As from Winnebago and I was able to obtain plumbing, electrical and other drawings from them and they were very helpful in repairs and modifications to my units. I think Heartland would do well to make these available if they are interested in repeat...

    Sundance overall height

    My 3200ES with the 16" wheels is about 11'-10". Yours should be about the same.

    Rear Stabalizer Jacks

    I've got the electric rear jacks on my Sundance. Mine also did not lower (no sound), but would try to raise. I knew there was power to switch, since they would raise but not lower. I pulled switch out and cleaned up the connection spades to the switch and now it works both ways. The switch...

    Ultra Leather Recliners

    We ordered the ultra-leather euro-recliners w footstools on our 3200ES Sundance. They are very comfortable and very easy to move back when we run slides in. With the round base, they can be slid around very easiely. We were planning to go the lazyboy rounte, but these work out better. I have...

    ? 4 2900MK Owners

    We have the 3200ES Sundance and the height should be similar. I have a storage building with a door that is about 12'-2" high. I was concerned about it going through the door, so had my dealer bring on out before I ordered mine and it went through with about 5" to 6" to spare. The one that I...

    Yakima or Thule bike rack questions

    I have a Yakima roof rack on my Chev 2500HD with the King Cobra bike racks on it. It is a good setup, but is "way up there" to load. I use a heavy duty 2 step stool from WalMart that I store in back of pickup for getting the bikes up there. I have a Honda generator on back, so roof was about my...

    Honda eu3000is generator

    I have the Honda eu3000is gen. I didn't want to add any more to the pin weight, so mounted it on a rack on rear of my 3200es Sundance. I had my dealer weld on a very heavy duty rear hitch receiver, mounted to the frame with 2 heavy cross tubes. Since my power cord is at rear of trailer, this...

    Winter travel with a Sundance

    We are leaving in a couple of days to head south to AZ. This will be first winter trip in our new Sundance 3200ES. We would like to put water on. The temps here will be low 30s when we leave and we will see some temps in upper teens and lower 20s at night on road. What experience have any of you...
