Re: Respectfully declined Time for a further update. After a period of consideration (April 14th to April 22nd) Heartlands customer service replied to me that based on their policy regarding seals and sealants and the age of the unit they will not participate in any repairs. I am not and...

I have a 2009 3300RC and would like to know what the recommended methods for maintaining and inspecting the garage ramp door and openings. This is the first toyhauler I have owned and I want to be certain that I maintain this aspect as designed to prevent any further issues.

Respectfully declined OK, time for a further update. I talked to our dealer service manager today, and he relayed to me the response from Heartland, which included the known facts that the unit is out of it's 1 year warranty period and that all claims should be submitted within that time...

Just a brief update: According to the service manager at the dealer, all the information has been forwarded on to Heartland and they in turn were contacting the manufacturer of the door system to determine if there are any recalls or other technical issues. At this point the garage is still...

We stopped at our dealer, Chesapeake RV Solutions, on Friday and went over the issue. They were very receptive, as always, and fully documented our problem along with a bunch of pictures. They will submit the issue to Heartland we'll go from there. They were in agreement that the extent of...

I discovered a major issue with my Sundance toyhauler this week and wanted to add a cross post here to see if I can get some constructive input. Heartland only produced 1 toyhauler in the Sundance line, the 330RC, and my issue is with the ramp door sealing. I've posted the topic in the...

Last weekend we took the 5vr (2009 Sundance 3300RC) out for the first time this year and had a very unpleasant surprise. Our daughter and her friend were using the bunks in the garage and when we were packing up found that the leg of the fold down bunk had pierced through the floor! The wood...

We saw these at the Richmond RV show yesterday and their factory rep was there also. He stated the Jack was made by the manufacturer of King Dome. The picture quality on the demo TV they had set up was very impressive He recommended adding a digital TV signal meter like this one...

I found a nice tow rig I'm very interested in purchasing, but I have just one small problem - it is 800 miles away! :eek: The truck is in Port Richey, FL and I am in Williamsburg, VA. I thought I would give it a shot to see if someone on here might be able to give it a look over for me next...

We've got 175,000 miles on our 1996 F-250, 2WD, 7.3L Powerstroke. Avg between 10 and 11 MPG towing the 5vr, around 17 MPG empty. Could probably do better if I could keep it below 60MPH :)

Just mopped mine with Dawn last week. Mop worked pretty good as I could control the runoff.

Tire pressure is the number one cause of tire failure, but we already knew that. It would be rare to say the least if you get any sort of warranty from a tire failed in this manner. After over 20 years in auto and truck repair, in my experience if a tire has failed to the point of shredding it...

Great job, Gus! Thanks for all the hard work. We just picked up the 5vr from RB Solutions today after the warranty repairs and we are really looking forward to the rally! I will be great fun!

I thought this was the show we were at last year and saw the Heartland products up close for the first time? :confused: We do go to several shows, so maybe my memory is a bit sketchy. I do know RV Solutions was at the one we went to because that's how we first found them! :D It's very...
