    Warranty work or Self-repair? (Rubber Roof Tear)

    $55 to have a trailer weighed seems a bit pricey to me. Although it does provide you with the weight on each wheel. I would rather pay $10 at a Cat scale plus the $2 re-weigh for the tv to get my pin weight. JMO

    California finally "allows" over 40 foot fivers

    The dealers may be stocking them and you may get them registered but the dealers do not inform the buyers that to legally tow any Cyclone 3xxx and up in California you need to have a Class A - Non Commercial Drivers License.

    Commode Overflow

    I found on our last camping trip that the foot peddle is not retracting to the closed position. I was wondering what to use to lubricate it.

    Yosemite / Oakhurst

    Chains were required to be carried but were not needed to put on. The beauty was amazing. I have Yosemite and Sequoia in my backyard (I live in Lemoore) and love both parks. Yesterday we went hiking in Mariposa Grove near the south entrance to Yosemite. Walking among the giant Sequoias is so...

    Manual operation of Bedroom slide out

    Curious minds think alike. I have pondered the same thing so I lifted the bed, removed the access panel and wa lah! It takes a 7/8 socket or wrench and a lot of patience. I just tested for operation purposes but it would take several minutes to complete the task. I hope that the slide never...

    CA campgrounds

    Valencia Travel Park is a good choice as previously mentioned. If you want to be closer to Hollywood or downtown try Birmingham RV Park in Van Nuys. We stayed there with our 36' Sundance. Staff is friendly and they are upgrading their sites to 50amp.

    Anyone near Fresno, CA?

    See Grins RV in Gilroy carries the entire Heartland Line. We picked up our Sundance just before Christmas. They have the MPG's. Their showroom is inside an old WalMart so even in rainy weather you are dry.

    Sliding closet door catch

    I am having the same problem with my Sundance. During PDI had to have them replaced. Now after 2 weeks of use and less than 45 days of owning it the replacement has broken. Materials being used aren't the best.

    Furnace /AC Fan

    As the OP said, we were on our first trip which required the use of the heater. Williams, AZ temps in the mid to upper 20's at night. The first night our water hose and some of the pipes froze. We were using space heaters so no warm air went to the underbelly. The second night I knew we had to...

    Stove hood light

    :( The 194 type bulb that came with the stove hood burned a hole through the light cover. To remedy this problem I ordered a LED replacement bulb and installed it using velcro. It has 36 led bulbs on a board that is approximately 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" . Now I need to find a replacement bulb cover. It...
