As Hoefler said, you could use an Air Line travel case if you only had a couple of long guns, but you would still have to attach it or they would just take the whole thing... also, I think that someone with a big knife could cut one open in short order...even the aluminium ones. I have two of...

Glad to hear that you got it working... Just for info, my 5th wheel has a 30 amp fuse mounted in an "inline" fuse holder. It is in the back of the front compartment on the drivers side. It was pointed out to me when I picked up the unit for the first time........ boy, I'm glad he pointed it out...

I use a fuse. I have found that going to an auto parts store.... like PEP BOYS, is the best place to buy fuses and holders... I buy the stuff that is made to put on the high wattage car stereo systems. Seems that they are less than half the price that the Inverter web sites get for them...

Yep.... I too have an auxilary fuel tank. I have a combination 50 gal/tool box tank. It sure makes it nice. I can wait until I find a easy IN-OUT fuel stop. I also use Frantz toilet paper fuel filter on my Duramax.... It works great... I've cut open the factory filters, and found them to be...

My tow vehicle is a 2004 Chevy.. HD 6.6L Duramax, 4X4 Ex-Cab, Allison Xmission, exhust system, opened up air system and power programer. I pulled my last 5th wheel, a 31' high profile unit, close to 60K miles from coast to coast and border to border. My overall average was between 11 and 12...

I've installed more Solar panel arrays than I can count. Both at work on mountain top repeater sites and on MANY RVs. I purchased truck loads of used panels when they closed the HUGHE Carrizo Plains Solar generating facility in So Cal. I then resold them as an installed package on house boats...

No more problem... I can now utilize the full 200# capacity of the rack without any overload worry. There is plenty of room and leftover load for my Yamaha generator.... fully fueled. Also, the spare tire is easy to get to.... I just crank it down. Lippert sells the spare tire carrier, but I...

Hey Yellowreef, that is exactly what I used to fix the problem. Here is a photo of the finished results.

I did get a response from Hartland. They agreed that the holes probably were cut at the factory. That's all they said, so I'm going to leave it at that. Of course I have kept the emails... but I doubt that there will be any problem. I think that I will at least grind the sharp points off. I took...

YES! This unit is a NEW 2011 5th wheel, never been registered, and made just a few months ago. I bought it from See Grins in San Martin, Ca. They are an EXCLUSIVE Hartland dealer. I purchased it about a month ago. I sent the photos to Hartland and to Lippert at the same time. Lippert responded...

Here is a photo. It's 3" across

I finally got to use my new Sundance 245RL. I like it. However... when I went to dump the Black Water tank, I found that the release handle was on the inside of the chassis. The Grey water handle is on the outside of the chassis. In order to access the Black Water handle, two LARGE holes have...

I mounted a 30 Amp RV receptical next to my inverter, which is mounted in the front compartment less then a 18" run from the batteries. The shorter the low voltage run.... the better. To use it, I just plug in the shore line. That way, it is impossible to have the rig pluged into both the...

The first thing that I did.... the day after I brought the new rig home, was to get rid of the cheap mattress and put in a good one. Snakebite

Hi Dan.... I understand. If the spare tire was not on the bike rack, then the rack could be used to haul a generator. Most of the new quiet generators weigh in at about 170 lbs when they are full of gas. This would make things very easy for the user. It seems that everyone suffers from the same...

Adding a large capacity INVERTER is a simple matter. It can be located close to the batteries, and it's output hooked to a separate RV receptical (local Lowe's store) which the Shore Line can be plugged into. This negates the need to add a transfer switch and lots of complicated wiring. Doing it...

It would be nice to have the spare tire on a under coach "Spare tire winch". This would get it off of the rear end, and also allow for full use of the slide out rack. Mounting the spare under the front part of the coach would be an easy job, and it would not hang down any lower than the...

Could it be the vent onthe fresh water tank? Today I filled my fresh water tank for the very first time. It would not take water very well.... kept "Burping"... it took over a 1/2 hr to fill because I had to do it so slowly... When I was done.. I noticed that the floor of the storage compartment...

Roger.... Good to know, TNX. Snakebite

Are coaches wired differently than the outside world? I'm just asking... for 37 years as an electrician the neutral has been electricly tied to ground at the box.... IF YOU LIFT IT, THEN you would measure an infinite... IF YOU LEAVE IT HOOKED UP, then you measure a very low resistance from the...

There is no doubt that the material is very light. I've built many racks for the back of trailers, and I've yet to have any of them tear, break or otherwise fail... I usually carry a full size generator and gear box on them. I'm chompin at the bits wanting to reinforce or replace the skimpy bike...

I would start by using one of those little wiring testers that you plug in to the duplex receptical (wall plug). They are only a couple of bucks at places like Lowes etc. That will show you if you have a netural (white wire) that is open. It will also tell you if the receptical is wired...

Went to town today and had them balanced. I called the Dyna Beads number given on their web site... wasn't too impressed with the guy's answers. I've looked around on the web and really can't find any independent review reguarding the use of Beads in Travel trailer tires. I did find some...

I was really surprised to find that the tires on my new 245RL were not balanced at the factory. Either that, or they are all just perfect.... there is not a once of lead on any of the wheels. Guess I had better get it done. Snakebite

I've completed the installation. I decided to go with Dexter's E-Z Flex. Right now, they are running a special on the Dexter site, and the price is REALLY good. Besides the obvious benefits of decreasing the shock when transfering weight between axles, there was also an expected side benefit...

How about some input on using Dyna Beads or any similar product in my 5th Wheel tires (ST225 75R15), Sundance XLT 245RL. Is it a good idea, bad idea or just another panacea/sugar pill? I have the Aluminum Wheels on my 2011 unit. If used... Should any existing balance weights be left in place...

TNX to Randy in Florida... he sent me photo's and the exact information that I needed....... O-yeah... I'm getting the "Standard" Equa-Flex, not the large. Snakebite

That is one of the most profound statements that I have seen on this forum. I totally agree, and am in the process of "Over Building" my new Sundance 245RL right now. Even though it is a strongly built coach, and a light weight one, after the Chassis failures of my last coach, I'm going to do...

Sorry to hear about your problem. It sounds like something is not right. I too have a new 2011... less than 2 weeks since I took delivery. I'm having an issue with the suspension setup and alignment and have had nothing but problems trying to work with Hartland. They try to pass it off on...

Hello.. Has anyone put a set of Equa-Flex, EZ Flex or any other shock absorbing Spring Equalizer on their 245 Sundance? If so, which one. Snakebite

My new Sundance 245RL has the slide-out "Bike" rack in back. The lable on the rack says that the maximum load is 200 lbs. The spare tire is attached to the 4" square (tube/bumper/sewer hose storage), which is at the rear of the rack. The tire + tire mount must weight in at close to 50 lbs+...

My 245RL Sundance pulls great with my Chevy Duramax. I was pulling a 31 ft before, and this one is a SNAP. I also installed a 5th Airborne just to take the stress off the chassis and enhance the ride in the truck. Snakeibte

I just installed a 5th Airborne on my Sundance245RL, and no matter how much material I removed from Pin Box cover, I just could not get it to work with the Airborne. Snakebite

TNX fer the response. I always use a torque wrench on my wheels. This is RV #13 for me. I worked my way up from tent trailer to a 36' 5th.... now I'm working my way back down. I think this is going to be the right size for my wife and I. The Duramax pulls it like its not even there. Snakebite

I couldn't get a response from Customer Service, so I'll try here. I picked up my new sundance 245RL last Thursday from a Regional Heartland Dealership. On the pre-delivery Walk through, the RV Rep made a point to tell me to torque the lug bolts to only 80 lbs. He said that since they were are...

I just purchased a new Sundance 245RL (yesterday, 3-10-2011). My research convinced me that it was the best available in this size 5th wheel. Now I would like to purchase an extended warranty. Most of them really don't cover much more than the appliances, and or other easy things to fix or...
