    Runs on gas but not ac

    Question... I have noticed that my domestic 2852 is running on gas but not ac. I left the fridge on after a trip assuming we were going out the following week but plans changed. Shut the fridge off and opened the doors just to find mold. I bought a new dinosaur board hoping that would get it...

    Running a/c in shed

    My sundance sits in my machine shed. Is it ok to run the a/c if we are working in there? Obviously there isn't much airflow across the unit so will that be a problem? I can put a fan up there to blow air across. Do I run the risk of freezing up? I have gone camping many times when there...

    accumulator PSI

    long story but tracing down what I thought were water gremlins but maybe the gremlins are only in my head. Anyway, a buddy of mine and I were going through the water system and verifying no leaks. Confirmed the pump turned on and off properly and stayed off when all valves were closed. I...

    fresh tank cracked

    Wow....disheartening when you spend hours removing the underpinning just to find water all over the basement of your RV. I noticed some water coming out from under the rv this weekend. I knew it wasn't going to be fun but I removed all the underpinning and foil insulation just to find the most...

    Purging ez lube hubs

    Question....I thought there should be a void between the inner and outer bearing for some heat dissipation. Is this true or false. My sundance doesn't have more than a few thousand miles at the dead most. I don't mind tearing it apart for inspection but i don't know if it is necessary if...

    Adjusting drums

    Guys, Just a quick refresher please because it has been years since I have adjusted or checked the adjustment of drum brakes. Do I just jack up the wheel and adjust the star wheel so the shoes are just barely dragging? You want to hear just a little scuffing right? Is there a good write-up...

    socket size for removing heating element

    Can someone tell me what size socket is needed to remove the hot water heating element? I did mine a year ago and I think it was a 1 1/2"----1/2" drive....but I slept since I replaced it. A friend at work has a 3300sk sundance like mine and asked what I used. He said his gas line was in the...

    plexi-glass on screen door

    has anybody ever put plexiglass or something on the screen door? We hate having our exterior door closed all the time if it is a bit chilly. It lets so much more sunlight in. I was just wondering if anybody has customized a interior door to make it clear but cover the screens. Temporary of...

    Fridge slow to turn on and intermittent power off

    My fridges was slow to power up last Thursday night. I had to cycle the power switch 3-4 times and it finally turned on. It shut off on us yesterday but a power cycle brought it back on. I THINK it switched to LP but not 100% sure. Wife said it made a funny noise when it was powered off this...

    Spray insulation?

    Has anybody ever taken down the underpinning and had a person come in and spray closed cell foam underneath? We do probably as much camping in spring and fall as we do in the heat so I use the furnace a fair amount due to a 1 and 3 year old. I have the underpinning 1/2 down and trying to...

    hot/cold water surges

    Just wondering if someone could give me a clue what to look for. But when we take showers, it surges hot/cold water whenever the pump turns on. Hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold......which is really tough to deal with while bathing 1 and 3 year old kids. It gets real cold when you are trying to...

    Outside shower

    Anybody capped off the water lines to the outside shower? I have delamination happening and it really chaps me! I took the shower assembly off the side of the camper and see the hack job they did to install it! I did see issues with the bottom of the cutout such as water stains. I sealed...

    Water INSIDE the window

    We were camping last weekend and experienced a pretty darn hard rain. Water was dripping down from the top part of the window inside the rv. I am 99% sure that I ran a thin bead of silicon last fall before we put it away. This window is the one next to the dinet table and has a crank out/tip...

    wires on electric heating element

    I have a 2010 Sundance that the electric element was popping the breaker. I disconnected the white wire and wrapped it in tape plus flipped the switch on the hot water heater itself to off just as a safety precaution. We have used the unit 2 times just using the propane to heat the water and...

    Adjusting front landing gear

    Looks as if my legs are not "even". When I go to drop my legs on my shed with a perfectly level concrete floor, one leg makes contact with the ground before the other. Is there any adjustment that can be made just to make it better. I isn't too bad but just not quite right. Suggestions??

    bedroom slide floor

    I have a 2010 2998 RB sundance and I have noticed that the floor is soft on one of the corners. I thought a roller had broken off causing the underpin material to tear, but after inspection, the rollers are good but another piece of aluminum trim is messed up and rubbing. Anyway, the black...
