I have an '08 2900MK. I can maintain 36 degrees F. with the temperature adjust slider at 75% of max cold. Outside air temp 90 degrees F. - Jack

If the converter output in the Big Horn is as dirty as the one in my Sundance, you will want to mount your HF antenna as far away from your trailer as possible. I use a Tar Heel screwdriver mounted on my TV and keep the truck away from the trailer with a 75 foot run of RG8X. It is interesting...

The connector on the Coby is a Euro style TV connector. Radio Shack sells an adapter for this plug which mates with a standard F connector. I use a two set coupler and short lengths of RG 6 connected to the roof antenna TV jack. - Jack

Ford also specifies a maximum payload for your truck. I believe it is 2,800 pounds. Payload is everything you carry in or on the truck and includes, among other things, passengers, cargo, your hitch or pin weight and the weight of the hitch itself. If your unloaded pin weight is 2,130 pounds...

Outstanding job, Traveler07. I would also like to know what stain you used and the make and model of the faucet. Thanks.. - Jack

Since I fabricated and installed a duct (see my earlier postings) on my Sylvania microwave I have had absolutely no problems with moisture. - Jack

If you buy the Dometic, be sure your price includes the built-in mounting kit. This kit includes the duct that channels moist exhaust air outside your cabinet. These units are designed to be used either as a built in or counter top unit. Built in requires a mounting kit. The kit number for...

No Tom, no air bags. Somewhere in the literature I have accumulated, it states add 9" for A/C. Like A/C is an option most folks do without. I'll look again. Plan on close to 13 feet however. - Jack

I have an 08 2900MK. I has the 16 inch tire option, A/C and maxi vent covers. I pull easily with an Ford 07 250 SD 6.0 leaker with 18 inch tires. The trailer is perfectly level on my Reese 16K hitch. I am at 12' 11 1/2" at the forward vent cover. I had a clearance problem getting into my...

Very good questions. The WF8935 is a power converter/battery charger and AC distribution panel. It does not contain an inverter. The unit converts 120v AC to 12.6V DC to run all 12.6v DC devices in your trailer. These devices include your ceiling and outside lights, landing jacks and...

Recently, a friend asked me to take a look at the Dometic analog thermostat in his 2004 Sunline Travel Trailer. He was having intermittent heat furnace cycling problems and had found he could make his furnace turn on by wiggling the control wires inside the thermostat. I suspected a broken or...

I have been using the MagicJack device for the past few months. It works well enough on my home DSL connection for me to drop my previous long distance carrier. It works reasonably well (minor latency issues) through my Verizon broadband card when connected via EVDO RevA. For $20.00 up front...

I had the same problem with my 2900MK. It took many phone calls and almost eight weeks to get a corrected GVWR sticker. Now I have a sticker showing the correct axle weights, but a manufactured date a month after the trailer was titled. Don’t forget to check the weight sticker inside the...

I have an 08 2900MK. The ceiling height at the foot of the bed is 67 3/4 inches. The ceiling height at the sink side of the bed is 74 inches. I used to be 69 1/2 inches tall. However, after 41 years of marriage, I am now 68 inches tall. Therefore, I don't have a problem (at least until my...

Just get back from the barn, here are the specs: The entertainment cabinet viewing size opening in my 2900MK is 25 15/16 inches W by 24 ¼ inches H. The inside the cabinet width is 31 inches W. I have a Samsung 27 inch (diagonal) screen size LCD model S2738D. The overall size of this set is...

You need to be careful. My 2008 2900MK cabinet is 31 inches wide on the inside. However, the viewing size opening is only 26 inches. Further, some 26 inch (diagonal) LCD's may be wider than 31 inches. I believe I have a 27 inch Samsung in my cabinet. Tomorrow I will walk up to the barn...

My 08 2900MK has the 6000 lb axle option with 16 inch 8 lug aluminum wheels. The wheels ("inside" side) are marked max load 3250 80psi. Crawl under your trailer and take a look, you may find your rating. - Jack

My Sundance came with a Coby DVD/FM radio player. The FM antenna jack on the back of the Coby is a European style TV jack called a PAL plug. Radio Shack sells an adapter to convert the PAL jack to a female F-connector. This allowed me to connect the the Batwing TV antenna through a two set...

John, I would say your security light bulb is burned out and that is why the switch has no effect. This was the case with my unit. The light itself is mounted quite high and when left on during daylight easily overlooked. Also, if the lamp is a 1295, 200 hours is not a very long filament...

Mine is located in the front closet of my 2900MK and is the center switch in a three switch panel. The switches are labeled "Living", "D/S" and "Porch"; respectively. D/S is the one. The three switch panel is just to the right of the slide control switches. BTW, my security light was fitted...

My first Colby was DOA. The second lasted a little over a week. I replaced the Colby with a Philips home theater package model HTS3544/37 from Wal-Mart for just under $200.00. I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. The Philips unit plays all DVD and CD formats, has both a USB and MP-3...

Since properly ducting my Sylvania microwave, it neither shuts down nor excessively steams up. In my opinion, the problem is not with the microwave but with the way Heartland installed it. See my postings in the Sundance appliance section for further details. - Jack

This is a follow up to my previous post. I fabricated a duct approximately 9 X 9 X 2 inches for the Sylvania microwave out of sheet metal. The duct was then mounted over the exhaust on the top of the microwave cabinet using the existing holes in each corner of exhaust cutout. Results from my...

HD antennas TD, The tech is 100% correct. So called HD ready antennas are nothing more than marketing hype. Any antennna capable of receiving UHF television signals will work just fine. The bat wing that came on my Sundance pulls in all the Knoxville, TN HD stations from 40 miles out. -Jack

During our first trip in our 2008 2900MK we had problems with the built in Sylvania microwave. The microwave overheated, tripping an internal thermo protective circuit. Removing the appliance plug and allowing the microwave to cool down would reset the breaker. As the microwave was overheating...

Are the hitch weights shown in the Heartland brochures (specifically Sundance) based on dry weight or GVWR? Jack
