    How do I equip my 2011 Sundance for dry camping?

    I plan to travel to Alaska in 2011 in my 2011 Sundance 5th wheel (3 slide-outs, 32 ft. 9" long). The couple I am traveling with like to occasionally dry camp. Can I equip my RV for dry camping?

    Need easier way to empty hot water tank

    The Elk Ridge has a tube hanging from the underbelly with a toggle switch to open and close the valve that allows the hot water tank to empty. This should be standard on all Rv's. I spent over 1-1/2 hours at Lowe's trying to figure out the correct size lug nut & wrench to buy. I protect the...

    Lippert Warranty Doesn't Care about safety!

    I am both confused and concerned with what I am reading about the frame. A week ago I purchased a 39 ft. 5th wheel (Elk Ridge) with 2 bedrooms and 1-1/2 baths.

    40 ft 5th wheels and campgrounds (FL to AK)

    I plan to drive my 40 ft. Elk Ridge 5th wheel from Florida to Alaska. How difficult will it be to find campgrounds that can accommodate my 5th wheel along the way and especially as we get closer to Alaska?

    First Time RV'ers

    I just purchased a 39 ft. Elk Ridge 5th wheel. I too was going to purchase the Cougar by Keystone but I felt that Heartland put more effort into their campers. Not only was the inside of the cabinets 100% finished, but the basement was completely finished (no exposed wires or wood). It was...
