    Leaving the Heartland Family

    It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that Donna and I announce that we are leaving the Heartland Family.

    Newbie with a question

    Welcome, Toterhome. I don't know about the roof but the small box down by the rear stabilizers could be a retractable toy lock. I have one on my Sundance. It works great and sure comes in handy to help keep honest people honest. Enjoy your new rigs. Rod

    It is great to hear from you again, Larry. What a tuff couple of years for you but it sounds like you are doing SO much better and in a much different (better) place than last year. From what you have discribed, I can't imagine going through anything close to that. Keep up the cardio, yoga...

    Jackson Rancheria, Calif

    Just missed you, Tom. We came up around 4 PM with our Elk's RV group (The Roamin Grapes). I had to pack up Sat in the rain and left after a great BBQ with our group. First time to break camp in the rain..... OMG ! ! We're about 50 minutes away in Galt but only get up there 2-3 times a year...

    Jackson Rancheria, Calif

    Came up to Jackson Rancheria (Calif) last Wednesday. A five star RV park that is clean as a whistle with GREAT food everywhere. What made this trip so special is the beautiful Bighorn TI edition set up down the way AND another Sundance a few spots up. Too much rain to go say HI but it's great...

    Winegard Anser & Dish pay as you go...

    This subject is timely, OtterMN. I recently broke off the front plastic case of my crank-up antenna with a tree limb. Haven't been able to get a signal since. Was thinking about getting a Winegard Carryout and hook it to my Direct TV DVR from home. No payment needed as I already have three...

    Joing the Fun

    Good choice, TPeters. We bought our Sundance 2900 two years ago and LOVE it. It tows beautifully and is stable in 50 MPH crosswinds. These Heartlander people are GREAT. Sign up for some local rallys and introduce yourself. You'll have a lifetime of fun and family. ENJOY your Sundance.

    spot bubbled up on roof

    I had the same problem, Ken. About a year after we got our 2900 MK, I noticed several bubbles toward the front of the roof. One went a foot or so width-wise across the top (where the cap attaches to the main body). Several small golfball or tennis ball-size bubbles were also up there. The...
