    greasing the wheel bearings

    I still cannot reconcile why an RV manufacturer would spend more on an RV by installing the EasyLube system if that system increases the users maintenance costs..... while at the same time an RV manufacturer puts inferior tires on their units to save money which also increases the users...

    5th Wheel Hitch Recommendations?

    X2 In fact if you look at the hitch in the back of your truck, you will see instructions on a label which also includes a diagram showing exactly this...... the tapered portion on the rear of the hitch is the landing pad for the 5th wheel pin. After contact is made everthing is self...

    greasing the wheel bearings

    I remain puzzled and maybe because of my accounting/financial background and training, I cannot understand the logic of some of these matters. As preface to my following observations, and with respect to your comment about boats, it is my understanding that boat trailers usually use the...

    Need to Replace Our Portable Gas Grill

    You will not be disappointed buying a Weber. It is a "real" barbeque (albeit powered by propane not charcoal) not a grill stove.

    Battery disconnect

    I installed a battery cutoff switch on my Sundance. Today, with the battery switch turned to the off position, I plugged the Sundance into my truck and determined that the truck battery, even with no engine running, powers up the 12 volt system in the Sundance. So you do not need to worry how...

    Help! My Fresh Water Tank Doesn't Like Water!

    My filling problem was the result of there being kink in the vent hose. You can either blow air into the inlet to clear the line each time you fill up or you can get behind the UDC and see if you can take the kink out of the line.

    Lighting Pilot light on oven

    You can also purchase barbeque ignitor kits at Walmart and use them for the stove. This was one of my more rewarding projects as our stove did not have an ignitor for either the oven or any of the stove top burners.

    Duramax/Allison Transmission Question

    I agree that forcing the transmission to shift into 6th will reduce the RPM's by 150 or so. But reducing the RPM's does not improve the fuel mileage performance in fact, in my experience, it reduces the mileage performance. I have a ScanGauge which is manufactured by Linear Logic. This...

    Bike Rack - Greystone 5th wheel

    I installed a Swagman Travelor XC 2 before our current trip and it has worked very well. It is designed to fit only 2" receivers and is very sturdy as a result. Easy to move from the back of the trailer to the back of the truck. I particularly like the design as the weight of the bike is...

    Turning distance for Cyclone CY3612

    The answer to your question also a function of the turning radius of your truck. If it was me, I would be getting out the tape measure, some empty plastic bottles to use as traffic cones and actually going through the turn procedure so that you know for sure what length you require.

    Instructions for the new Anderson 4-way Valve in UDC for LM, BH, BC, CY & RW

    Or, you could use your built in water pump to fill the water tank which is what I do when staying in parks which do not have water service to the sites ie. all BC Provincial Parks. I do this by firstly turning on the winterizing bypass valve and inserting the hose that you would otherwise...

    Universal docking centers?

    The UDC was a very important selling point for me when I purchased the Sundance. I wouldn't change anything about it. But, as John Darr says, the execution of its assembly could be improved. In my case, I experienced problems when filling the fresh water storage tank. My dealer determined that...

    Turning radius with a shortbed truck.

    It was not my intention to offend you. But as noted in many posts on this subject, slider hitches are very expensive to purchase and very heavy to install and remove. So because of the additional up front cost and the ongoing extra effort, prospective purchasers should be very confident...

    Winterizing Sundance 3300ck for storage

    You know what? I would really recommend that you take it back to your dealer to winterize it. I do not think, and I do not mean this negatively, that you have an interest in learning about your system. I have a friend and every year I have to go over all of the steps, he is an accountant! But...

    Electric Awning Slow

    My awning did the same thing. As it was under warranty I returned to the dealership to have it checked out. The repair consisted of tightening up the internal spring. That was a real surprise to learn that an electric awning also has an internal spring, the same as the manual awnings, and this...
