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...

I am going to move mine this weekend. I am just going to move the mounts on the underneath side of the table just enough to give me clearance on the blinds - maybe an inch or so. I have plenty of room - so the slide is not an issue. We take the table down anyway when we travel. Your layout may...

Mine was doing that too. I would come home from work everyday and the radio was on. I'd turn it off and the next day - same thing. Turns out - I had hit the alarm button on the stereo. It would go off at 9am while I was at work. I have the Jenson stereo. red

First - you have to find out exactly where the leak is coming from. I fed a water hose inside to put water in exact places in the shower to find mine. Hold the water hose in the corner and let water spray in one location. Use a nozzle with a little pressure. Have someone else looking in the...

I think it is GOOD for most of these things to be out in the open. It helps people decide on what brand to buy or not. And helps people get things fixed. I am sure there is some "whinning" - but I would not stereotype all QC problems as whinning. My Sundance is my third rv. I never had any...

I figured it out. The three plugs are for your DVD player so that sound can be routed through your stereo speakers and the video cable coming out is just a passthrough to go back to the TV. red

I have a Jenson CD player installed in my 2009 Sundance 3300 BHS. There is a single wire coming out from behind the stereo into the little space where a DVD player would sit. It is labeled "VIDEO". What is this for? Also in this area is a panel of three plugs (Red, Yellow, White) for Video...

My bedroom vent is the same way. Almost no flow comes through. However, in the bunkhouse in the back, it is very strong. I just replaced the vent in the bunkhouse with a vent that has an adjustable damper in it. This will force more air forward. Yes - I spent the extra 10 cents on a better...

thanks - I will look at this weekend. Another thought - would it be easier to move the pole mounts on the underneath side of the table instead of the floor? Since I will only move them 1 inch, it should not be too noticeable if the mounts are not centered. Heck - I bet they are not centered...

Our table in our booth is very close to the window and it is very hard to open and close the blinds. It takes two people - one on each side to slowly raise and lower the blinds so they do not snag on the table or the emergency window knobby thing. I was wondering if I could move the pole...

I am using the factory cord with no extensions. It happens at different campgrounds. I only have one AC. I will test a few things this weekend and see what I can come up with. Thanks red

My main 30 amp breaker throws when I have the AC on and the electric water heater on. I have nothing else on when this happens. I had to start making sure my fridge is on gas and my water heater is on gas so it does not throw. Should I be able to run the AC and the electric water heater at...

We bought our 3300 BHS in March 2008. Overall, we are very pleased with our unit. Heartland does seem to have some quality control problems before they leave the factory. Almost every water line leaked upon delivery. Dealer fixed some the day after we bought it while we waited. But, our dealer...

Thanks - I will look at it this weekend. I had the same thought. It can't be leaking too bad, as I have good airflow through all vents and it cools very well. red

Update: I bought a couple of those spinning vent covers to help out with the odor. It was my Galley grey tank that seemed to be causing all the stink. When I removed the factory vent covers on the roof, it appears that the factory vent covers were made for 1 1/2 inch vent pipe. The pipe used...

Thanks for all the replies! ;) I got an answer from www.rv.net with some helpful instructions. Basically, the underbelly material is too short and was not secured up under the back of the coach. Water was getting in by draining down the back of the rv and rolling under and going straight in...

We use one of those adjustable shower curtain rods. Just screw it out until it is tight. Works great for us. We have the 3300 BHS. red

OK - after fixing all the other water leaks - shower, outside shower, sewer flush, kitchen sink - I thought I had all my water problems fixed. I come home yesterday and notice a water puddle under the RV. It had rained earlier in the day, and the rest of the driveway was dry by the time I got...

That was it - I guess I never noticed that switch on the water gauge block. Thanks red

I too have a problem with the water heater. I can't get the gas side to work at all. Is it automatic if gas is turned on? I turn on the switch at the heater and turn on the switch inside the rv. All I get is electric heat. I get no clicking for the gas ignitor and it never lights. What...

I have a 2002 F250 crew cab short bed. I do not have a slider. I have pulled a Montana for 2 years and now have the Sundance. The Sundance is easier to turn with the newly designed front cap. I can back up now without being too concerned about kissing the cab of the truck. You just have to...

Hello!!!! I just noticed there are no replies to any of the posts in this section. I guess I will go National. red Note from Admin: See reply from Customer Service. Please have a dealer/service center look into this and take care of it for you.

I have a similar problem and I just posted it to Ask the Factory. My bad odor is coming through the AC vents in the trailer. When I dump the tank, it will run you out of the camper. Next time I dump, I will make sure the AC is off. Anyone else have this problem? red

I have a 2009 Sundance 3300BHS. I get a strong black tank odor through the AC Vents inside the coach when I flush the toilet or drain the tanks. It is bad when I flush the toilet, but it is "run you out of the camper bad" when I drain the black tank. I get no odor in the bathroom from the...

I have a 2009 Sundance and just finished my 3rd weekend of camping. Upon getting home Sunday and dropping it in the driveway, I heard a strange noise from the front jacks as I was raising off the hitch. I looked and the electric motor had twisted 180 degrees and the plastic cover that covers...

Just talked to the dealer and the noise in my fan was coming from a loose wire rubbing on the top side of the motor. They said they secured the wire and the noise is gone. I will pick it up tomorrow and know for sure. red
