    Winterizing Sundance 3300ck for storage

    I wouldnt dump it in the fresh water tank. you should have a seperate hose on the pump just stick it the anti freeze jug and turn on the pump it will fill the lines. before you do that turn the valves on the hot water tank to bypass it and drain it by removeing the plug. also there is three...

    Electric Jacks

    electric jacks; you would think as often as this has happened to new owners they would put something in the manual or the dealer would explain this during the walk through. matbe heartland could put a relay on the jacks that would shut the switch off before they reached the top? there are other...

    Who has a Sundance 2800RL

    We have had our 2800rl across the US and love it. Watch the front jacks dont raise them to high leave several inches down so you dont blow a fuse or strip the gears. had to tighten the kitchen sink drains. other than that we have had no problems and a great time.

    Help! - Front jacks quit working.

    after all the posts on this problem you would think the factory would have this listed in the manual and the salesperson doing the walk through would point out the location of the fuse. Also explain to buyer that if you raise the legs all the way up you will blow the fuse. cost me a 300$ lession.

    front jacks

    I agree! There should be a limit switch at least. but to save 400$ to repair i will leave the jacks 6" down that will be the same depth that my spare tire hangs down so it shouldnt hit the ground. I have painted the first 6" red so i wont go higher.
