The AC in our van is still working well, but it is noisy and not as cold as modern inverter system units. Since we stay in hot places mainly, we were thinking of seeing if we could find a drop-in replacement that would give us improved service. Our original unit is a Dometic 59516.331 So we...

Hi, We've fulltimed in ours for nine months or so, and have had no problems at all with the kitchen area. Love the space, and visitors are always amazed at the interior space. Peter

While there is no dealer in Australia, Pacific RV in Lismore works thru a US dealer and does import Heartland vans. There are a lot of paperwork problems in getting them into this country, and our road rules are very dfferent, so weights can be a huge problem. There are a few Sundance's on the...

Hi, A couple of our water taps are squeeking, and I would like to get into them to fix them. Do the tap handles come off? I don't want to damage anything as replacements will be hard to get. Is there a safe way of getting them appart? thanks Peter

Thanks. I had hoped there was a "secret" easy factory way. Oh well, back to lying on the ground under the rig. Peter

Hi, Thanks for all the suggestions, and we have finally got a happy cat and much less smelly van. Zebbie the cat had been putting on a fair bit of weight previous to her decision to "mark" our doorway. What we finally found is that she was having difficulty cleaning parts of her back, and had...

Hi, I would like to have a look at the inlet conection to the fresh water tank, and also the level probes on all four tanks under our sundance. What is the best way - take off the underbelly covering, or is there a way of access from the top. Thanks, Peter.

Interesting! Zebbie has actually been putting on weight last few months. Lately she has been quite active - jumping around everywhere, and sniffing everything in site. She just came by and jumped on my lap and started sniffing my trousers. Then tried to jump on the table (not allowed). We'll...

In Australia we are paying around $1.55 per litre, which converts approx to $6 US per gallon. But then more than half that goes directly to government as tax. You can just hear the government cheer as the price goes up and up as their revenue goes up too without them having to announce new...

Thanks for the replies. We had sort of ruled out urinary tract infection as she has no sign of pain when peeing. In fact when we see her spraying on the door her expession is more of a cheekly little brat rather than a cat in pain. Where we are at the moment (Geraldton, Western Australia) seems...

Zebbie the cat urinating by door Hi, We live with an eight year old cat, Zebbie. She does seem to like the Sundance, and quickly made it her home in many ways. Recently she has taken to peeing by the entrance door, usually during the night. I think she is trying to mark her territory and keep...

Thanks Netem. Just so easy when you know. Peter

Hi, Could be.... but how do you get the shower head off? I look at it, and can't see anything that would undo. Got plenty of tools, and used to doing my own work, butjust can't see how to get into this without breaking it. Peter

Hi, Thanks for the info about the nuts. - one nut was off. Not the cause of the problem though, but caught it before it became one. We've been fulltime 3 months in our Sundance now. Covered 6000km. Starting to find little things happening. We're the other side of the country from our dealer...

Hi, Last couple of days we have been getting a squeak noise on the front LH jack as we move in the bedroom. Traced it to the square jack tube. Moved the jack up and down a little with the motor, and it is better, but still there. Should we be lubricating something in the jack tube itself? Peter
