Usually the stated volume is based on the tank measurements. While that will give the number of gallons it will hold, you probably cannot get that much out of it. The pump connection to the tank is a half or three fourths inch above the bottom of the tank so the pump will start sucking air...

Unfortunately, you cannot really drain the fresh water tank. The drain fitting on the tank is a bit above the bottom of the tank so there is always a half inch or so of water left. Also the bottom of the tank will sag down some holding even more water. I always sanitize the tank and then...

The freshwater tank and the water heater are listed sepatetly on the tire and loading decal. 440 lbs for the fresh water tank and 50 for the 6 gal water heater so that is not it. It may be the vent blocked by water. The fill line and vent line are both come some distance from the tank to the...

My 2014 Sundance XL fifth wheel is supposed to have a 53 gallon water tank according to the literature and the tire and loading information decal. I had not done much dry camping until this last summer. I seemed to run out of water sooner than expected. I recently filled the fresh water tank...

I had the one shown in the picture. (TPA,Another piece of chinese junk!) I found out it would not switch automatically the hard way. A refrigerator full of spoiled food. Was gone all day, and when I returned, no propane to anything. Went out and checked. Red flag was up but no propane flow...

For the Sundance XLT 285 ts, I was able to remove the TV outlet to get access to the wall space and measure over to the backer board. Still had to guess how wide it was but got the TV mounted with no problem. There is supposed to be a sticker but if the trailer has set awhile, it falls off.

Heartland customer service rep. told me the roof on the XLT is only 0.20 inches thick and will not hold screws sufficiently for solar panels. He said they did not recommend installing solar panels on the XLT roof. He also said there are no roof trusses but I can definitely see some form of...

I guess I should do an update on this issue, especially because it is very interesting. I did in fact contact Heartland Customer Service and they were baffled by the problem. Finally a supervisor called me as asked if the floor was not carpted in the area I was talking about. I assured him is...

Have a 2014 Sundance XLT with, what do you know, Power King Towmax. I noticed that the tread was coming off one of the tires so made a quick trip to Discount for 5 new Maxxis LR E tires. When talking a Heartland Customer Service Representative about another issue, I mentioned to him that the...

I only covered the fixed portion of the two really large windows leaving the small slider and awning window at the bottom uncovered (and usable for ventilation if needed). On most of the windows I could just tuck the edges of the foil into the window frame and then lower the shade and it stayed...

The 285ts has a lot of glass area so adding the foil bubble wrap makes a big improvement in daytime cooling. It is also very easy and fairly inexpensive. Also, that big dining area slide provides a lot of heat gain. It is not as well insulated as the main coach is. The floor has no...

Unfortunately, my Towmax equipped Sundance XLT has 15 inch wheels so Sailuns aren't in my plans. Think I will just go with the Maxxis. I do have over 6000 miles on the two year old Towmax and so far they look OK but still uncomfortable with what I have read on this forum.

One of the coax connections goes strait from the utility compartment to the Living area TV nich. That is intended for a satellite setup. The other goes to the booster. The booster if on then feeds antenna to the bedroom tv and the living area TV if on. If it is off it picks up the feed from...

Still in warranty (10 months old) but dealer says Heartland will not cover slide room adjustments after 90 days.

Both my tanks (gray and black) are under the floor of the basement area. Black is at the front and gray is behind it. They sit crossways between the main frame rails. Dealer refuses to do anything and I sure am not into dropping the colopast. Guess I will proceed normally until something...

I want to add, I have no concern about the indicators. I understand the problem with them and generally can keep them working well enough to get by. The installed flushing system is great for flushing out the tank to get all the solids off the bottom but it does nothing for the upper...

According to my dealer, there are no straps. He says the tank flanges just set on the frame rails. The underside is covered so it is not easy to see the tanks. Would need to remove the bottom covering and hate to do that if there is no problem. Just don't understand the pop and sudden drop...

2014 Sundance XLT 285ts. Doorside slide out is very large. When retracted (in) during travel, the inside edge of the slide floor appears to be sagging down so that it rubs on the coach floor. This is making a wear spot on the floor and I expect soon will have the finish rubbed off and...

Yes, I am smart enough to not use the furnace. In fact it is at the dealers now for that and other issues. Mainly I am trying to see if others have had a problem with this control system. Seems over complicated for doing the simple job of turning the furnace off and on.

I have a 2014 Sundance XLT 5th wheel. After returning home from a five day camping trip I went to empty the holding tanks. At the campsite, the black tank still showed empty but after the two hour drive home, it showed full. Obviously some paper or stuff on the probe so need to get a good...

My 2014 Sundance XLT has the Dometic Thermostat that controls the AC and Furnace through the control box in the AC intake box. When regulating the temperature, as the thermstat calls for the furnace to come on, there are numerous rapid loud clicks over about 30 seconds coming from the control...

I don't see any load range selection on those. Interested if they do come in LR D or E.

Any idea how thick the plywood on the roof was. I am concerned that it is not thick enough to hold the mounting screws,.

This is all interesting. I have a 2014 Sundance XLT with Towmax tires. They are the 225/75/R15 LR D with a 2540 load rating. I am well under the weight rating (per CAT scales) and have a TPMS so I know pressures are correct at all times. So far have over 5000 miles with no problem. However...

I would like to install a couple of 100 watt solar panels on my Sundance XLT. I am looking for information from others who have done this sucessfully. What did you use to attach the panels? The factory will not provide information as to location of the roof trusses. I tried a stud finder...
