    TX - Johnson City (Hill Country) - Miller Creek RV Resort

    Replacing the Sofa

    Imchud:..... We know what you mean about the sofa being on the "short side" cushion wise...here is how I fixed that problem in our Sundance. I removed the stuffing from the pillows, there are zippers at the very bottom of the pillows....(not the seats mind you, just the back pillows) and then...

    DH put in new elec plug.....

    We have a Sundance 265XLT and we love it, however, the only electrical plug we had on the door side of the coach was in the rear kitchen area, which drove me nuts! :mad: We have a chair which sits right next to a small 2 drawer side table but I couldn't even put a small lamp on it because...

    North/South bed to East/West mod???

    I posted this on the 5th wheel forum, but also thought there might be some great ideas here too. We are the proud owners of a Sundance 265rk xlt, and we love it, except that we found after 3 months as a snowbird this last winter, we would love to have a full closet in the bedroom:o I know, I...

    12 hour drive with my fur child

    I second that one about making sure you know where the kitties are before putting the slide in or out. We always lock ours in the bedroom of our 5th wheel before we do anything electrical.......always!!!! Cannot be too careful with those little rascals;)

    Turning bed in non slideout bedroom

    Just a question. We were thinking of turning our bed from it's current position (say N/S) to a E/W position. We have found that the only thing we missed in over 5,000 miles of snowbirding this winter in our non-slide bedroom is a wardrobe closet. We have a 265rk xlt. My DH is very handy and...

    12 hour drive with my fur child

    We just returned from three months on the road "snowbirding", traveling almost 5,000 miles with our two "kitties" (Bubba is 20 lbs....yikes!) and they did all their traveling in the bedroom of our Sundance 265rk 5th wheel. My DH made a wood step that fits right on the first bedroom steps and...

    Wow, thanks to everyone for all the wonderful and helpful replies:p We took Beardedone's advice as he replied first, and looked at the outside clean water connection and found the leak.....yippee!! We will keep an eye on it from now on. My DH was thinking of putting a small hole in the...

    Water in middle of basement??

    We have a Sundance 265rk xlt, and we have water coming from somewhere into the middle of our basement.....question is, where is it coming from?? My DH has checked all the pipes that can be seen, and I guess he will be checking those under the basement carpeting next. We are looking at the...

    Traveling with a Cat

    Well, we finally ventured out with our two kitties in tow and they did real well in the 5er. We have been taking them for short runs in the car in their soft sided carrier and they seemed to do fine with some meowing, but the minute we put them in their large cage in the back seat of the truck...

    New ultra lights XLT series???

    Hey Fred and Cathy! According to everyone we talk to and also my Rick, the 1/2 ton is just not big enough to really do pulling a 30' + 5th wheel justice. We don't think there are any legal issues, but could be wrong.....just safety issues:confused: Some of the things we love about our XLT...

    New ultra lights XLT series???

    Hi Fred and Cathy! One of the things that my DH wanted me to ask is how big is your motor, what size tonnage is your truck, 3/4 or 1 ton and how long is your truck bed? Do you know what your truck is rated at for towing capacity? Most people say to only buy and tow up to about 2/3 of your...

    Mattress is too hard!

    We have one of the ultra lights. It is a 265rk XLT 28.5' and we love it, but we too replaced our mattress immediately. We bought a queen (60x80) SpringAir mattress with a built in pillow top (10-1/2" high) and it is wonderful! We bought the SpringAir because it is actually intended to be...

    Hi All! We are the proud owners of a new 265rk and we love it!! We live in the Rockies and although we have only had to use the 15K AC only once so far, it looks like the thin air up here did not have any negative effects.....it cooled everything down quickly. We love our rear kitchen model...

    Electrical ghost in Sundance XLT????

    OK, we have just returned from our second time out camping and now the stove's electric igniters and the bathroom electric vent fan stopped working as soon as we pulled in. They worked fine on the maiden voyage....hummm? However, on that first maiden voyage the front landing gear blew a fuse...

    New line of smaller & Lighter XLT Sundances

    Hi ByPass, and thanks for the reply info :D BTW, we are towing our 5ver with a 2006 Ford f250, 6.8L V10, 4x4 crew cab super duty, so we don't anticipate (hopefully), any pulling or stopping problems. We used to have a f150 and we knew that would not fit the bill, hence the newer truck. We...
