We have had our 2011 Heartland Sundance 3200 FK (yes, it is a TT, not a Sundance 5th wheel) since the end of 2011. We love it. There have been some very minor problems, but nothing that I wouldn't expect from any other TT. The issues included a small leak from a turned under slide out seal...

I know this is a serious topic that brings out a lot of strong opinions, but this thread made me think of a funny thing that we heard last week. We noticed that the campground employee who drives the "honey wagon" was carrying a 9 mm in a holster while emptying our tank. My husband asked him...

We had an external antenna on the top of our 2011 Sundance 3200 FK...until this year. After starting to get really bad radio reception, we noticed that the stubby black rubber antenna is missing. While closing it up/winterizing Saturday I took a close look at where the antenna was, but can't...

Good luck! Thanks for taking time to help me with my stove issue. I'm hoping that your helpfulness brings you good camping Karma and you make it through the storm without damage! :)

Thanks for the quick responses! The wires are about twice as long as needed, so I think I can cut out the stripped portion. I should also pick up some Rescue tape for my next mishap! :) Thanks again! I'll post again after my repair attempt.

Happy spring everyone! Just opening up the trailer for the season and the stovetop burners won't light with the spark ignition. I took the cover off and saw evidence of mice. It looks like the mice have stripped the ignition wires in a few places, causing the spark to occur in the middle of...

We've had our 2011 Sundance 3200FK TT for a year and love it! It's very similar to the RL, but the floorplan is flipped - our kitchen is in the front, living room in the middle, then the bathroom and the bedroom is in the back. Our kitchen is a little larger, with more counterspace, but the RL...

We bought our Sundance last November during the end of year sale for a great price. (About 35 - 40% off MSRP) The only drawback was that our orientation/PDI was also last November, so some things were a little fuzzy in May when we finally got to use the trailer! (Thanks Heartland Forum for...

Hi Taestus - My husband and I just gave away our 84 or 85 Prowler this past spring when we bought our Sundance. We never had an owners' manual (bought it used) but may be able to answer simple questions if you can't find an owners' manual from Fleetwood. We had our Prowler (I think the model...

Re: You better check it out My DH and I learned our lesson on this one last summer. We normally go to our trusted mechanic Pete but were short on time before leaving for our trailer so he took his truck to a "Jiffy Lube" type place for an oil change and tire rotation. About an hour and a...

Thanks Dave - our Sundance is a TT, not a 5er (I know, kind of unusual, they seem to have stopped making them) but the connection seems to be about in the same place, just on the outside, so I think everything should work. OK, two trusted opinions from the forum - it's time to start TV...

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply! We do have an unlabeled co-ax connection just to the left of the main (living room) door, which is where I had planned to hook up the TV. I remember seeing a labeled cable connection on the back (bumper) end of the trailer next to a labeled telephone...

Check your rubber slide seal all the way around to make sure it's not getting "tucked in" when you are putting the slide in our out. We have one corner on our front slide seal that gets tucked in when we put the slide out. We flip it up into its correct position then somehow it gets tucked in...

Hello everyone! I have a (probably stupid) question about the TV connection on the outside of the RV. Does this connection work with the regular antenna on top of the trailer and the antenna boost? I was going to buy a small TV to put in the bedroom that we could also use outside on the deck...

Re: ATF: Sundance - Sundance trailer is a fire hazard My Sundance has an outside shower that is not even close to the water heater. The water heater is near the rear of the trailer while the shower is about mid trailer.

It's been very interesting reading all of these suggestions. The Mouse Free and Fresh Cab sound promising - it's nice to see new products that aren't poisons. I googled the topic out of curiosity and found even more suggestions, including Renuzit air fresheners, bleach, dog or cat hair, whole...

I love our heated mattress pad! We even use it on its lowest setting some nights when it's just damp but not really cold. Keeps my bones from feeling old and creaky in the morning. I don't like it hot in the bedroom, and with the heated mattress pad we rarely have to use our furnace during...

Great reminder TXBobcat! It amazes (and horrifies) me that so many Americans don't use their voting rights! In Wisconsin you can vote early at your county clerk's office (in the county where you are registered to vote) for any reason - even if you just don't want to stand in line on election...

We had mice in our garage one year so I bought a rodent repeller and it has worked really well. I now have one in our TT too. One of my 2 dogs is extremely sensitive to noise (hates bug zappers and even the microwave button noise) and isn't bothered by them at all. In the winter when the...

Beautiful words Jim but now I have to explain why I'm red-eyed and sniffling in my office. Makes me think of many gone too soon. Blessings, safe travels, and many thanks to all the Heartland community who have been so helpful with my sometimes stupid questions this first season with our Sundance.

I just travelled to Ohio to visit family and kept my eyes peeled for Heartlands on the Indiana and Ohio Turnpikes but didn't see any (except parked at the factory!) Then on a tiny twisting road (CR6) out in the boonies outside of Coshocton I spotted a Bighorn less than a mile from my uncle's...

Just curious - what happened to the Sundance travel trailers? Now there are only 5th wheels. Why the change? Was 2011 the last model year, or 2012? We LOVE our 2011 3200FK! :cool: It met every requirement on our "must have" list and also every dream on our "wouldn't it be nice" list. Which...

Congrats on the new puppy! I fostered a mini dachshund from a puppy mill last year - what a cutie! It was so fun to watch him play tug of war with our 60 pound coonhound - and "flirt" with our golden/shiba mix who is ten times his size. He could be a little holy terror (loved to chew...

They should definitely be charged by now! Not sure how to explain this, but was there anything inside the light to keep it "off" until you bought it? I have a solar turtle that had a piece of thin plastic in between the metal connections to keep them from touching. I guess it prolongs the...

I should probably disclose that I moonlight as a Seat Tech engineer! ;) Seriously, I can't believe they told you that! I would be so annoyed to get that as professional technical advice. That's really sad customer service.

I second Jim's suggestion - check the rubber seal around the slide. Our carpet was wet in the corner of the slide the first time we camped in it - turned out the corner of the rubber seal (which is like a little flap) on top of the slide had gotten tucked into the trailer and didn't come out...

I'm really surprised to read all these problems. I'm not sure of the brand of my sofa/air mattress (it's in a 2011 Sundance 3200FK - not a Greystone) but I'm surprisingly happy with it. A few weeks ago I forgot to pack clean king sheets for our real bed, so we ended up sleeping on the queen...

I completely recommend Foremost. They are very experienced with RV insurance and offer lots of options tailored to your needs and how you will be using your RV. We have a seasonal site, and although we've had Foremost for years, when we got our new trailer our dealer recommended shopping...

Do you have slide toppers John? If so, do you like them? I've been thinking about them because we're in a fairly wooded area, but I've heard that some people don't like them - not sure why. This is our first trailer with slides, so it's all new to me. (OK, it's also our first trailer not made...

I'm not sure of the floor plan of your model, but if it is a slide that's leaking, check the rubber seal on the top and make sure it's not stuck in. On our first weekend in our trailer we had a bit of dampness on the living room floor by the main slide and realized (after first scolding the...

Sounds even better! Should this be posted in the recipe forum? Rick and Debbie thanks for making me laugh - you're invited to dinner.

Definitely agree with the Command 3M suggestion. We've used one of the large hooks just inside the door to keep dog leashes and bags handy, and a series of 3 smaller hooks to hang keys below the main control panel. The 3 key hooks weren't exactly level, so after a few days of staring at them...

Good idea - we camp in a hickory forest so there's always a lot of great smelling hickory scraps ready to be soaked and smoked! I think I'll skip the lighter fluid, but now you've got me thinking (uh-oh) maybe I can sprinkle a little charcoal dust on the meat as a dry rub....:D

Perfect timing for this topic! We are charcoal fans when camping - propane is for when we are at home and always in a hurry. When camping we live by the motto of our campground - "Taking life slow and easy" which means taking the time to smell the charcoal, slow roasting potatoes or corn in...

Awesome explanation Richard! You should get a job writing the owners' manuals! My owners' manual had pages of installation instructions and a tiny paragraph of operating instructions with no mention of the inside switches. We figured it out after a little trial and error, but I was nervous...

Welcome to Heartland! Is it the powdery stuff from their wings that left a mess? If you've already tried other cleaners, this probably won't help much, but it's worth a try: brush with a fairly stiff brush to see if any of it is still loose, then try a really good sticky lint roller or some...

I'm jealous too! Camping and gardening at the same time? That's great! What do you have in your garden and how's it doing? I planted a ton of flowers (lilies, dahlias, chinese lantern, some others that just looked interesting) at our seasonal site this year, but I haven't made it up there in...

Thanks for the directions - now I know I'm on the right track. This will be so much handier if we are up just for the weekend - my current method of making sure the tank is full enough is to flush the toilet forever while shining a flashlight down through the toilet - not exactly high tech! We...

This is something I've had questions about too - the black tank flush. On my TT it says (right by the black tank flush hookup) NEVER flush with tank valve closed. I want to flush with it closed (like Bob and Patty said in the previous post) but this has me scared. Rationally I tell myself...

Thanks so much for your reply and picture. My awning is a little different, but from your drawing it looks like it would still work. If it only takes 10 minutes that shouldn't be a problem with weather, and it looks a little lighter/airier than the one I saw in the catalog - should be fine with...
