    Perplexing problem with coax cable

    I spent most of the day trying to sort the cables out. Finally, I found a disconnected cable in the roof about six inches from the antenna amp. It was the end of the cable for the exterior park cable input. What's interesting is all three connections on the antenna amp were used. When I...

    Perplexing problem with coax cable

    I bought a cable toner and started tracing all the coax in my Sundance. Replaced a few coax connectors which elimanated a short but the underlying problem remains. I'll try to explain where I'm at. At the antenna amplifier, there's a splitter connected to the TV2 output. One goes to the...

    Perplexing problem with coax cable

    Regarding the last comment about the capabilities of the tech, your'e absolutely right. I'm at an RV rally with about 100 rigs. The tech I hired travels the rally circuit installing satelite systems and related gear. Pulled the outside cable connection and the hole was the size of the coax...

    Perplexing problem with coax cable

    Again, I appreciate the suggestions. In trying to trace the problem, the tech replaced five connectors. I'm on the road for another week, so may waite till I return home before going too far.

    Pin box flex

    Had the same problem with my Keystone Montana 5th wheel, but the flex was more like two inches. We pulled the skin off and discovered cracks in the welds between the goose neck and trailer frame. Now I'm the proud owner of a Heartland Sundance. The estimated cost of repair was greater than...

    What should you do after taking delivery of new trailer

    Appreciate all the great advice. Too late on the warranty. Had HUGE problems with the Montana and didn't want to take a chance. I'm surprised at the recommendation to use Dawn soap, but will take your advice. This forum is a little over whelming, but I'll sort it out. Steve

    What should you do after taking delivery of new trailer

    On 7/25/14, I take delivery of a 2011 Heartland Sundance. I checked the trailer closely and purchased a warranty since the trailer is three years old. The exterior sides and roof appear to be in excellent shape. What would other people do to protect their investment? Should I treat the...

    Bought a Heartland Sundance model 3300QS today to replace my agin Montanna. Have seen many Heartlands over the years and was always impressed. My wife and I are retired and live in the Monterey Bay Area in central CA. I hope to use this forum to seek advice on my new trailer. Steve
