    No propane hot water heating...

    Hot water tank works fine on electric but not on propane. Tries to light 3 times and then goes into DSI Fault. I can hear the solenoid click and smell gas but no spark at the ignitor / sensor. Removed it, cleaned and reset the gap, same problem. Removed the wire harness from the main board and...

    Northern IL to Galveston TX next Jan

    While we usually snowbird in Florida, next year we will be heading down to Texas. Undecided if it would be better to cut the angle and shorten the drive or to head straight south to I-10 and then go west. Unfamiliar with winter weather on a southwest route. Anyone have experience and advice...

    SOLVED: Front cap leak...

    Had my 2017 Sundance 3100 CK 5th wheel parked in Florida for 3 months. When it came time to leave I raised the front end to get it on the hitch and had some water run out from where the bottom of the front cap attaches to overhang. Obviously the caulking in this area is bad, but at least it let...

    We are Illinois residents and will be headed for Florida on January 5th. We wont return home until April 20th so we will have to file our Illinois state taxes while on the road. I was assuming that a local H&R Block in Florida would be able to do this but thought it best to ask around. Any...

    Getting through Montgomery AL... tips or clues?

    Will be entering Montgomery on I65 and leaving on US 231. Looks like: I65 to US 80 east US 80 east to US 231 south is the best route. Or am I missing something? Dave & Ronna

    Camp Kitchen issue.....

    We have a new 3100CK which has a camp Kitchen. I've noticed that with the camp kitchen open there is direct access from the sliding counter top to the area under the kitchen sink for insects and small critters to enter the camper. Have anyone come up with a fix for this? We love our camp...

    Outside speaker volume too loud...

    We have a 2017 3100CK 5ver and the radio has the 3 zone buttons. While the volume control for zone 1 (living area) and zone 2 (bedroom) work fine the volume control for zone 3 (outside) cannot be turned down low enough. Even at the lowest volume setting we are blowing out our neighbors and...

    Cant get at pump to manually operate lift system.......

    Not currently having any issues but was checking out how to manually operate the lift system if it ever becomes necessary. The manual says to use an electric drill to spin the pump motor. But Lippert installed the pump so high up in the front compartment there is only about 2 inches of space...

    Hats off to Heartland.......

    Here’s the story on our new 3100 CK and how Heartland saved the day for us. After almost a year of searching different floor plans we discovered the 3100 CK, which fit 98% of our checklist. Midway RV in Grand Rapids MI had a 2016 on the lot so we took the 4 hour drive to have a look. This was...

    Question for 3000CK, 3100CK owners.........

    We ordered our new 3100 CK 2 weeks ago and are hoping for delivery the first week of June. In the meantime I'm researching grills for the rear bumper, swing arm bracket. Heartland doesn't offer a grill as an option, just the bracket as standard equipment. Looks like the bracket itself is either...

    Popular options to order?

    Hi folks, and Happy New Year, We will be ordering our new Sundance 3100CK in the coming weeks and that means choosing options for the camper. I thought it best ask the group which options they have found most useful and which options they have which aren't all that useful. Thanks for any...

    Rating different Heartland travel trailers...

    I see Heartland produces different brands of travel trailers, much like GMC builds Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac. But which brand is a Chevrolet and which is a Cadillac? I see there are similar model numbers in different brands so there must be some type of pecking order among the brands. I...

    New to Heartland.....

    Hello all, Dave and Ronna here. We recently sold our truck camper; I’ll just call it “SOB” (some other brand) as I’m not sure if it’s proper etiquette on this forum to mention it by name. I retired from the Chicago Police Department in January of 2013 and took the truck camper on the road...
