    do my lug nuts have covers?

    I think 15" rims don't have caps and 16" rims do. I will try a deep well socket and a cheater bar. tmcram, did you destroy the caps when you removed them this way?

    do my lug nuts have covers?

    I have an 09 sundance 2980rb with 16" wheels. My rims are the solid silver ones. Are my lug nuts covered with caps or is that a lug nut I am looking at? I have tried to pull off the caps with a pair of channel locks and I can't get them to budge. then I try to turn a lug nut with my lug...

    I feel a slight lag if I really get on it but I don't think I have the problem you are describing.

    New Member, Looking for Information

    another NA dealer is north alabama rv in rainsville. I bought my sundance there after getting several quotes from the wholesalers. I carried the quotes to the owner (Leon) and he came within 500 dollars of my best price. that was close enough considering the price of gas when I purchased last...

    2 Honda 2000s, will it be enough?

    those boliy reviews are old. I researched for weeks and read everything I could/ communicated with as many people as possible about boliy before I bought it. they came out around 06 and had a lot of issues. the fourth generation has had these issues fixed and it now seems to be very solid for...

    mpg towing with Ford super duty

    my 07 f250 6.0 4wd gets about 14.5 around town and 10.5 to 11 pulling my sundance. It gets a little better than 15 on the hiway.

    2 Honda 2000s, will it be enough?

    I do have the fourth edition. I have had no problems so far. I can't compare it to a eu3000 but it is louder than a honda 2000i. it is pretty quite in econo mode. If the air conditioner is on I can't easily hear it from inside the trailer but it is running af a pretty fast rpm and slightly...

    2 Honda 2000s, will it be enough?

    two honda's will certainly handle the air conditioner. I bought a boliy 3600i at half price of the two honda's and it also does a good job.

    Generator for 35QSQB

    I just bought the boliy a couple of months ago. I have had no problems with it yet. it will crank my 15k ac, although it sounds a little rough when the compressor cranks. once the ac is going you can add about anything else with no problem. the generator is easy to crank, fairly light and...

    Follow up on front slide leaks

    hey tmcram, did you get your shower to stop leaking? we went on our first trip since the last try our dealer had at the leak. we still leak. Oh, well. back to the dealer tomorrow. fortunately I am only 10 miles from him.

    Electronic Thermostat ideas?

    I need an electronic thermostat for my 2998. My generator kicks the breaker if the compressor on the air conditioner cycles too fast. electronic thermostats have a three minute safey timer that would allow head pressure in the compressor to equalize and stop this problem. can you guys suggest...

    Shakedown Complete, minor issues.

    rubber seal on bottom of back BR slide

    tmcram, I will check my slide tomorrow and see if it looks like this. if your seal is not leaking have the dealer check your window in the slide. mine leaked when it was new, the dealer had to recaulk it to get it to stop.

    how do you stop the leak in the shower?

    thanks for the reply's. it looks like my leak is in the bottom corner of the shower closest to the outside wall just above the pan. there is a ton of sealant there so I am not sure how water is getting in but thats certainly where the leak is. I am going to haul it back to the dealer on...

    how do you stop the leak in the shower?

    I have an 09 2998rb and I have really struggled with the shower leaking into the underbelly. It only happens when the shower is hitting the right hand corner of the shower stall (if you are facing the shower head). I tried to redo the caulking job from the factory without much luck. So i...

    Awning Problem

    I have a sundance with a power awning and there is at least 6" clearance between the door and the awning. It sounds like your awning was installed to low.

    Are Sundances really under 12'

    I have an 09 2998 and when I measure from the top of the ac to the ground I get 12'4". I know you guys advertise these as under 12'. I have found a place to store my rv but the door is 12' high. I am wondering If I have made an error in measurement. I am measuring the air conditioner and...

    Do any other Sundance owners feel like they have a POS?

    In short, no. We have had a couple of issues (leaks, torn window shade...) but all were promply taken care of by our dealer. Our dining room table is a little tight with all 4 of us sitting at it but thats to be expected in a camper. We have had our camper since june also and I think we got a...

    What are you guys doing for a bunk bed rail?

    Its strange that RV manufactures don't put some kind of safety rail on bunk beds. My son is 5 and I am currently scared to let him sleep on our 2998's top bunk because it looks so easy to roll off of. Has anyone found a mod that works for the top bed? I was going to build a rail but realized...

    Line Voltage Increases when Air comes on

    Campcar, Your last thread points to what I was trying to test earlier. being new to RV's I don't know alot about the equipment so I didn't know where a voltage monitor was hooked up. your Voltage monitor plugs into an outlet, which uses one leg of the two legs of 120 we were talking about...

    Line Voltage Increases when Air comes on

    when you are connected to 50 amps you have two seperate single phase 120v legs relative to ground. these two legs are 180 degrees out of phase with each other, this is what gives you 240 volts phase to phase in your house. In the camper you do not have the ability to put a breaker across both...

    Line Voltage Increases when Air comes on

    Hey Campcar, If you would like to get to the bottom of this lets run and experiment. While plugged into a 50 amp service locate the breaker that kills your LR air conditioner. Turn off all the breakers on that side of your box, then see what your voltage meter reads. If it still reads hot I...

    Line Voltage Increases when Air comes on

    Your problem shouldn't be unbalanced phases, I am new to RV's but my understanding is your 50 amp service is wired as two seperate 120 volt legs instead of a 240 system like in your home. It almost sounds like a capacitance issue, if the air conditioner motor uses a run capacitor you could see...

    A/C not working

    Mine was doing the same thing the other day, when I turned on the switch at the thermostat I heard a click in the ceiling, but nothing else. I then realized that I was not plugged into shore power. Once plugged in everything worked as it should. Apparently the thermostat is 12v?

    Should there be a drawere under my jacknife sofa??

    I was cleaning in my 09 2998rb last night and noticed two cabinet latches on the legs of the sofa in the bunkroom. Was there supposed to be a drawer like the one on our living room sofa under this thing? it seems weird that I have latches (just like the latches on all of the cabinets) and no...

    Water Heater Question

    So I looked on the monitor, there are three buttons, one labeled test, one labeled pump, and one labeled heater. I guess the one labeled heater must be on for the water heater to work on gas??

    Water Heater Question

    Our 2998 did not have a water heater manual when we purchase it. can anyone explain the basic operation of this thing? On our first outing I ran it off of propane and it worked fine, but when we woke up after the first night we had no hot water. I flipped the electric switch and ran and got...

    2998rb sattelite question

    there is a new thread on hooking up direct tv in the landmark forum. a guy did a great job of diagraming the factory wiring plus his modifications. I don't know how this matches sundance as I don't have my hands on my unit yet. as soon as I get the camper I will see how they match up.
