Here are a couple of pics after I did some poking around on the wood. Yes - that is the underside of the carpet in the kitchen area you see. I have not sanded the epoxy and made the final touches on the repair. Should be done this weekend and I will post the finished pictures when I get done...

Update: Go here http://www.rotdoctor.com/ They have a product that you spray on what is left of the plywood - after you have chipped away the rotten stuff. It is called CPES - it soaks in and makes the exposed plywood very hard. Then they have a fill it epoxy that you use to fill in where...

Just returned from my two week trip in Florida. While there, I took a clipboard around to several different RV sites to take a poll about slideout Plywood. Of the 72 RV owners I talked with, 100% of them had some sort of drip edge on their slideout plywood. Some were wrapped with some sort of...

Wow - after reading your post, it appears Heartland was aware of the problem. Why don't they notify owners of impending failure? It would have been easy to fix before the plywood rotted out. Now - not so easy.

We are getting ready for our two week trip to Florida. Started packing gear this weekend when we noticed the carpet was damp under the dinette storage. It rained alot on Saturday. So I started investigating windows etc... Then I looked under the slide room. I noticed the plywood was exposed from...

Okay - The report is in. Did our weekend trip to San Marcus. Tires were no problem. It looks like the distance is 1 3/8 - 1 1/2 inches between the tires. I guess it was cocked in my driveway and made the distance closer when I first parked it. Another guy followed beside me for quite a...

Mine is currently loaded. My 235/80s were 2 1/4 inches apart. Yours are 3 1/2. That is what makes me think the factory is not consistent on axle spacing. I think my Sundance was made for 15 inch tires and the factory maybe added the 6000 lb axles and 16 inch tires and left the axle spacing...

Well - the 245/75s were $20 per tire higher, so another $100. Plus they were not in range for Discount Tire to get them quickly. I was pretty uncomfortable with the China tires being 2 1/4 inches apart. Actually, on my last trip when I noticed one of the old tires was bulging outward on the...

OK - I had them put on today. I am really not comfortable with the distance between the tires. There is 1 inch between them. After seeing underneath when they had it jacked up, I think the 245/75s would have been better. I had to trim a little of the fender skirt on the backside. We will...

I got the XPS Ribs 235/85s. I get them put on on Tuesday. I'll post back with results. $1500 for five. I guess no lunch for the kids for the rest of the school year! Red

Ok - I am about to replace my Mission tires. They are less than two years old - and one is starting to bulge outward. So I feel I have gambled long enough. My question is on what size to replace them with. My Missions are 235/80r16. Michelin XPS Ribs come in 235/85 and 245/75. The 235/85s...

I have the all alluminum tripod - weighs less. It does help in stabilizing the trailer. I did a test parked on level concrete. Non-scientific - of course. I put a full bowl of water on the vanity in the bathroom of our Sundance. I put my arms against two walls and started rocking the...

We bought our Sundance from ExploreUSA in Seguin. Camping World did not have the floorplan we wanted in Katy and really seemed to not push the Sundance or try to get us what we wanted. They just tried to sell us something else. They were not interested in us ordering a unit either. I called...

The video cable is just a passthrough so you can hook up a dvd player and have the video go to your tv and the sound come out through the ceiling mounted speakers if you use the inputs that are there. It has been discussed before. I don't like using it because the only volume control you have...

I had the same question over a year ago. See Below: //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?t=7732 Basically, the extra yellow Video cable is just a passthrough back to your TV for the video when using a DVD player. DVD player out to the three colored jacks, yellow red white. The extra yellow...
