Curt Q24 for me. It is my first and only fifth wheel hitch, so I can't compare, but I have had no problem with mine. Very sturdy, no slop. I have had several other Curt products, and consider them the best bang for the buck.

I do everything while my four year old gets in the way and asks over and over again to go to the pool, playground, etc. He gets to crank the stabilizer jacks. That's it. That's my whole system. When I get mad at myself, my code is the sound of a beer can opening. Seems to work so far.

A little extra new wood, and it works. I little paint today, and some caulk, and that's that. Not hard at all, and no need to get forklifts involved.I guess I didn't get a pic yet with the new OSB on, but you get the idea.

So here is what they look like inside... aluminum frame with OSB above and below... no support where the roller goes... not a problem until the wood gets soft I guess, but still... Anyway, not that big of a deal to fix. I'll square off the hole, add some 2x4s inside, put in a new peice of OSB...

After some more digging through this forum, and checking out my other slides, it appears some maintenance/upgrades is in order for all. The other two aren't bad yet, but they need some fresh paint, and the drip edge mod I saw popping up in a lot of threads. I plan to start poking around on the...

If it comes down to it, I have forklifts... I'll look for that thread.

Hi all, I have a 2009 Sundance 2998 RB. I noticed that the front bottom corner of my bedroom slide was sticking out a little when fully retracted, so I started poking around. It feels like some of the wood on the bottom of the slide in that corner is crumbling. Nothing feels wet or spongy...

Okay, last post for this thread, since I am no longer a prospective owner. Most of the camper is home. A huge gust of wind that rocked the whole rig managed to knock the awning loose- it was a little scary. Most of it is stuffed in the storage compartment, and the 18 foot long tube had to be...

Sigh.... 50 degrees today, wish I was picking it up today. 10 degrees and salt caked roads by next weekend... May have to wait a while.

Well, I bought it. I have to wait for the banks to do their thing, and then get a weekend with decent weather to go get it. It's more then I need, but I got the deal right, and I shouldn't need anything bigger. I am working on ordering a hitch. I was looking at the curt Q20, to fit my...

I looked at this a few minutes ago. Everything looks really nice and clean. I see no signs of trouble. But I have one question. The area above the pin, shown in the picture, doesn't seem to have firm backing like the rest of the walls do. Is this normal?

I was planning to, thank you. I have not looked at this in person yet, I am having trouble finding financing terms I like. The problem isn't me or my credit, my credit is excellent. The problem is banks either won't have a long enough term, or they disagree on the value of the RV. I just had...

I like that. Yes, it may be a second job, but the boss lets you have beer while you do it! I have been around trailers my whole life, started with a 1984 Jayco, so I am familiar with the usual stuff. I have heard of the checklist, I will get my hands on it for sure this time, as I have never...

Hi all, first post here, as I do not yet own a Heartland. I am considering a 2009 Heartland Sundance M-2998RB. It is about 3 hours from me, and I was wondering if there is anything specific in this model I should look for, such as any known issues that this particular model may have. It has...
