    Gas equivalent to F350?

    I have watch this discussion and guess it's time to throw in two cents. My previous truck was a 2011 F250 with a 6.4 gas engine. Absolutely a work horse. We had a Sundance 2800RL fifth wheel (8750# dry) at the same time. Pulled through th Smokies and out to Rapid City SD without issue. Now for...

    2015 Goshen Rally - Discussion Thread

    #2 in the wagon train will be US kiddo. If we are going to be in the same area this time I just need to know because the Sundance sits those few inches lower than you guys with the big expensive toys. Byrd, who controls or sets the vendors? Don't know but working on getting a vendor for...

    Light Switch Failure - Something to Check

    There were loose strands sticking out. None were making contact together that I could tell. The real issues, hard to see in pic, was that one of the crimps was only half way done. I really believe this was the source for the added resistance to the circuit and the eventual over heating. That and...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: IL, Chatham - 9/18/2014 to 9/21/2014

    Talked to the campground today. I think I have reservations. Not real sure about this one. Only real piece of information the clerk took was phone number and name. Not much to actually reserve a campsite or send a conformation email to me. We'll be there if we have a site is all I can say...

    Options for TowMax oem tire replacement...

    I looked at all four rims yesterday and called myself as looking closely. Found nothing stamped looking with a good light and felt all the way around a couple rims and found nothing that felt like markings. I was expecting to find something. The Sundance came with 80 PSI tires (Tomax). I'm...

    Options for TowMax oem tire replacement...

    Question -- How do you figure out if the rims can handle tires of higher PSI? Upgrading to 17" rims are not an option as there is not enough clearance between the wheels. I've got two years and 7100 miles on my Tomax tires. While they look great and I do know it is time to replace them for...

    Light Switch Failure - Something to Check

    After the last trip, the wife complained that the light switch for kitchen lights was sticking. Well, when I removed the switch to change it I found a little more than I was expecting. Thought I'd share this picture just to say, never ignore an issue because it seems minor. I'd say this...

    ATF: Sundance - Slide out issue

    Our first 5th wheel was a 2800. Both rollers on the front of the slide sheared the bolts off and would jam in one direction. That is what I would check first.

    Mattresses? Where, what

    Sleep number at home and a sleep number in the camper. I installed it in the camper just before last winter season and heading to SC. We love our sleep number. I put the pump up under the head of the bed, routed the hoses trough to small holes I fixed for this purpose. To accomadate the...

    Bedroom slide comes out on its own while stored

    Dave is most likely correct. It is not the fluid. I worked heavy industrial maintenance for many years and we use to see this problem fairly regular. When the internal seals on a cylinder begin to deteriorate the cylinder extends when at rest. The only real question to ask is the cost of...

    Re: Brand new here and considering a purchase..... Welcome, I think you will find a great group of campers on this forum. As for coaches, we are on our second Sundane and really love the line. Other models are nice, but we are very partial to the Sundance.

    Broken bed slide room roller

    Look like this.......................... sheared the heads right off, left the rest of the bolt in the wood. And if anyone is looking, especially ********** Heartland. Those are not the proper type screws for that application. Water under the bridge now.

    Broken bed slide room roller

    Had the same exact problem. Only real solution is a dealer who can take slide out. Our unit was a 2011 Sundance. Not every dealer can make the repairs. Nearest dealer to me was a four hour pull. GOOD LUCK!

    New Style Blinds - MCD Shades

    "CURT" Fifth Wheel Hitches ?

    This is the second F250 my Curt 20K has been installed in. I moved it from the first truck. The only issue I ever had was a lost rubber bushing. Called Curt and they sent a complete set of bushings and pins FREE.

    Adding a Few Doors

    The limitation will be that you have to buy doors of stock size. Heartland will not make custom size doors. So it may well work out that a door will not be found for every opening. We had two openings that a door was not available for. My contact at Heartland Customer Service was Michele...
