    Leaks. Leaks and more Leaks!

    Sounds like the guy that put your unit together (plumbing) was having a bad day, ripe it out and replace, get it over with. Use Rectorseal 5 on threaded fittings.

    What is this guy smoking, "true diesel" is a inline 6 cyl. Wonder if you have ever heard of the E9 Mack V8 or the 3408 Cats that were installed in class 8 trk's. Yet "true diesel" (proper spelling) has a V8,,,,,,,,,Oh Well! Some folks childern.

    Flexing chassis?

    Think maybe you hit the nail with "shoddy workmanship", but that still would not break the cabinet door.

    Strange hot water experience

    When you connected to the campground spigot did you make sure that the WH was full of water before turning on the electric heater? You stated that when you tested the water there was not hot water, did you get cold water out of the faucet? If the check valve in the outlet of the WH was stuck...

    ATF: Sundance - surge protecter/water regulator

    Both are a must I use a Valterra full flow reg A01-1117VP and a Surge Guard 50 amp unit. Have had the surge guard trip a couple of times, usually on low voltage and once with a bad pedestal at a rv park.

    Pulley Lift for Fifth Wheel Hitch

    In my shop I have a 14" lam beam that I hook a rope block and tackle from and hoist the whole unit in and out of the truck, drop it on a dolly done. Got the block and tackle off the web if I remember was around $40. You would want to make sure your garage roof joists will hold up to the weight...

    ATF: Sundance - Which gray tank

    Our 3000 RK has one black tank and two gray tanks both 40 gal. In the UDC there are two valve handles the front is the black tank the rear is the gray for the bathroom. The other gray for the kitchen is on the side of the frame just behind the slide out, it also has it's own hose hookup.

    Laundry chute

    According to the inof sheet the 3300CK has a laundry door, will be somewhere where it will dump into the front storage compartment. We have never used ours, the basket in the closet works just fine.

Rigged up a compus to rough aim, then use the tv satellite program to fine tune. The skew and elevation are very important if you are...

    Aluminum Wheels

    This is done alot, all of our F350's had steel wheels on the inside rear. Never noticed that the inside tires wore out any faster than the outside. I've also seen class 8 trucks with steel wheels on the inside. IMHO I do not believe that the tire wear is caused by the aluminum wheel flexing...

    Water Pump Noise/Air?

    Would guess that all the pump noise is because when they install the pump they do not use a couple of feet of hose in and out of the pump. They just use the pex line in and out which is too stiff and knocks and bangs with the pump vibrating. My pump was only installed with one screw so yours...

    Aluminum Wheels

    Where does one ever get the idea that the wheels flex and cause uneven tire wear. You have a alignment problem, the trailer is too heavy for the axles mounted under it. If offset wheels were the problem than all class 8 trucks would only wear out one side of a tire, these wheels are almost a...

    Wrinkled Bulkhead Part II

    Now this is getting deep, have you had this BC by a dealer? The frame and all would still be under warranty, I would be in contact with HL and Lippert to see what they have to say before I would run off the deep end.

    Circuit breaker or fuse for stabilizer jacks on 28BRS

    Not sure about a your model but all the rest seem to have circuit breakers mounted somewhere close to the battery, some of the circuit breakers have a little reset buttom also they have a habit of placing fuses in the power line to the switch for the jacks. Of course it is in a black fuse holder...

    Battery discharging?

    Are you sure the disconnect actually isolates the battery would be the first place I would look. Is the battery fully charged when you put it to bed? It takes a good while for the inverter to charge a deep cycle battery and you will get a fall off of battery condition. Lastly you could have a...

    Ford F-350 Shudders and Strains

    Still under warranty good load the Sundance up and take it out and see if you can make it repeat the problem, sounds crude but probably would be best if the trans just blew up, just kidding. If you take it to the dealer they will never be able to make it repeat the problem (no load). On our F450...

    Water on floor by toilet

    I assume it is a Dometic toilet, on our Sundance the control valve had a very small crack in it. Would only leak when you depressed the pedal to supply water to the toilet. Try depressing the pedal a little to start the water and see if a leak appears. This valve is very easy to replace if that...

    Butyl Tape

    I too am confused with the issue, on our Sundance there was a couple of places on the slide outs that got smeared with some seal caulking compound. Cleaned it off with acetone and it never came back.

    Shower faucet

    According to Suburban WH co. if you have the 3 valve system the check valve is a waste of time and money, according to them the old systems only used two valves so the check valve was needed. I took mine out and everything works just fine, I took it out before it broke out, cheap plastic piece.

    Regarding Forward Bulkhead Wrinkles

    If you used 3/16" thick would be probably more than enough, just make sure you make the vertical and horz legs long enough around 4" or so you can get 4 or 5 rivets in each side. You will have to find extruded angle to get legs that long. If you have a metal recycler/scrap joint near you that is...

    Regarding Forward Bulkhead Wrinkles

    $200 per hr shop time is not out of the question these days, just think about all of the regulations and crap a business has to put up with, back in the 90's I used to charge $150 to hit the switch on the welder. Go get some aluminum angle and cut and prep your own gussets, I think I would SS...

    Regarding Forward Bulkhead Wrinkles

    The welds on these units are all done with a mig wire feed welder and most of the welds are crap as you can see by your broken weld. Finding somebody that has a Hi-Freek Tig unit might not be easy. I have a Tig welder but don't have the high frequency unit for it, I can weld alum with my mig...

    Shower faucet

    I just love that answer "that is the way we always do it" got the same answer when asking why they still put a check valve in the outlet of the HW heater. I've turned our shower faucet over and it works just fine and will probably save the hose.

    Tripping Breakers

    It's tripping your 30 amp main??? Does the Microwave have a breaker in the main panel? A microwave will only pull about 9-10 amps max so there is no way it should trip the main. Does it do it every time you use it?

    New Storage Access Door Install

    Need to move that inverter up on blocks just in case one of those quality pex tubing connection starts to leak. These people think that the black flex wire cover is a cure all for crap installations. I removed almost all of it and bundle tied all the wiring.

    Water Pump making noise! Along with a leak...

    While connected to city water with the pump off you should not have water flowing through the pump and yes it will fill up your tank in time.

    Water Pump making noise! Along with a leak...

    Sooooooooo where did all of the water come from? I think what you are hearing with the city water on is water back flowing through the pump and into your fresh water tank. There is a check valve in the outlet side of the pump to prevent water from back flowing. So with city water on is there a...
