We tried to use the fresh water tank for the first time. We filled it and when we turn the pump on, the water pumps out the city water inlet. Any ideas on a fix?

I had that going on with a toyota tundra. I replaced the belt and the noise went with it. The belt looked like it was in great condition but obviously it wasn't

I had a F250 CC SB and I hit the rear cab once. It was a tight back-in and the grade of the campsite was higher then the road. That brought the trailer in tighter. Didn't pop the window but definetly dented the cab.

Here in VA we have to have a yearly safety inspection. The last place I went to get this done tested the ebrake away switch. I've never seen anyone do that. He does it to all trailers as it is mandatory for the safety inspection. Everything is fine. It's designed to be pulled out.

I had the same problem with my Sundance. I figured out the problem. Imagine if you will a 2" lag bolt holding on the awning. Now 2" bolt -thickness of awning mounting plate minus thickness of fiberglass wall minus 2" foam insulation equals.....yea, there was no way the bolts were hitting...

I had a Ford 06 250 CC Short Box. It's bed is 6'5 or better. I pull a Sundance 5er 28bhs. I hit the cab of the truck backing into a spot that was above the grade of the road. I now own a slider.

Got this from the dmax forum, hope it helps REMOVAL PROCEDURE CAUTION: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in Service Precautions. 1. Disconnect the batteries. 2. Remove the wheel housing. 3. Remove the air cleaner outlet duct. 4. Remove the electrical nuts from the desired glow plugs. 5...

I had a f250 CC Short box. I also used a fixed 16k reese hitch. I never had any problems pulling my 5er.....except once. We ran into a situation where the back of the trailer was higher than the front, backing in at a hard turn. The trailer doesn't hit the cab usually but with the front of...

It's really going to be crappy down here this weekend. Have fun. Paul

yup, JT's all season since the first bouncey, rocking trip. No more movement

I have a Sundance 285BH. I like it lots. It's our first 5er, not our first trailer. Pulls easily with our F250. First season and no problems aside from a leaky shower. I recaulked and no more leak. It's seems much better built than other trailers in the same price point. I know the...

BIG ZD. Yes on do you put it between the bread. Butter both outer sides of bread with peanutbutter and chocolate as the filling. Toast her up and enjoy....

I went too far with my sundance and the fuse blew. No biggie, better than the motor. They extend at least 18".....At least mine do.

no question the best desert is peanutbutter and chocolate chips......Melted reeses.......Try it, you'll love it!

I have an 06 F250 CC short box diesel. My fifthwheel pulling limit is 15500.

I have to say I agree with Porthole. It's not so much the sharp turn as it is the grade. I have a 06 F250 CC SB. I can bang a tight uturn in my driveway to get my Sundance turned around. This past weekend we had an off grade back in. I was tight and watching my spotters, not my truck.. I...

Let me know how you stay goes. We'll be down there for 6 nights starting Sept 16...Would love to hear a report... Safe travels.. Paul

warp Could you and would you be willing to post pics of the warping. I think I have the same issue but I'm not sure. It definetly looks warped compared to what I remember as new...

Friend of mine got the pedestal hit by lightening. He lost all 110V power. We checked everything and determined that the inverter/converter was blown. His would work when the battery was fully charged also but not when the 12v got down to 8-9v's or so. We replace the inverter for 160 bucks...

I have the Sundance 285BH also. I bought it late October last year and have used it 6 times or so this summer. The only problems i've had were : 1) Shower leaked.....Caulked the inside of the shower walls and base where the glass meets the pan. No more leaks. 2) Aluminum skirt over wheels on...

JT's or some other brand. Best investment yet. First trip out couldn't enjoy it cause of the movement. Readjusted the next day and still way too much movement. Installed the jt's the following weekend and rock steady ever since. Pricey at 350 but knowing what i know now I'd pay 1000 for them.

just camped in SW PA. They have a county to county ban. No wood in from anywhere!

Does anyone out here really believe that we should be able to jump into 18-25k pound monsters without any training? I do it and don't have a problem with it but I always thought it was a little silly for the states to give us the ok to do so without some sort of requirements. We're not all...

I have the Sundance 28 BH and to get to the valves you have to remove the lower bunk plywood. If you lift the mattress you'll see 4 screws in the cubby area of the bunk. Best of luck. Paul

My 06 6.0 made a funny noise, then a little chugging then a poof!...Blew the turbo 180 miles from home with the trailer,wife,2yr old and 3 mth old...That was fun!..At least I get to drive us all 180 miles again this weekend to pick up the ford at the dealer then another 90 miles to pick up the...

Been there done that. Sundance XLT. A little caulk will do ya!

Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou!!!! Big THANK YOU to Tom from Greenbelt MD.. He pulled me 60 miles to my campsite/storage area. Truck will be repaired under factory warranty on the turbo/diesel. 100 dollar deductible. Great guy went out of his way to get me and my family to our destination and...

We're camping in farmington PA, just outside of Uniontown PA on Rt 40. Our truck blew the turbo and had to be towed to Bedford PA. I found a good samaritan who towed my f'ver to the campground we are staying at. The campground said I could leave the trailer here on the storage lot until I can...

condensation Hey Marv, thanks for the reply. I guess I wasn't specific enough. The vents themselves are dry but the ceiling was wet only where the hose would lead to the vents. From the ac to the vent was wet on the ceiling. I assume it was just condensation also but am looking for a remedy...

Movement I too just went through the movement issue. I thought about the tripod and decided not to buy it. I didn't want to buy something to get some of the movement out. I did the JT's and I couldn't be happier. They work as described. No movement at all in my 5er.. There's a reason...

Hey all, We went on our second trip with our 28bhs sundance. Love the trailer, hate the mattress. First trip we had wobble, wobble, wobble. So much that when I was in bed and my 2 yr old bounced in the bunk the whole thing shook.. Okay, I bought the JT Strong Arms? I LOVE THEM! They took...

You fellows are idiots. I'm not showing my wife that. She'll expect it by Friday. Silly,Silly men. Paul

Great information. Thank you Irvin

I use the metal plate to strap down the illegals when I'm bringing them across the border. Hate it when they wiggle around. :) JUST KIDDING Paul

Baby is doing great. We have to deal with the cleft lip/palate issue, but we knew that at 20wks. Kim's is also doing very well. It would be fanatastic to get a full nights sleep but I don't believe that's in the near future. Camping? Our goal is Memorial Day weekend. We'll probably just...

100 miles so far from the dealer to the garage. I'll keep an eye out for wear but haven't pulled it far enough yet to wear anything. Thanks all. Paul

no trouble, i just measured between the tires for rotochocks

I thank you all for the replies. I need to measure the axles before I panick. I believe the weight issue from side to side could be valid. The side that is the closest is the slide side. The kitchen opposes it but again the 5er is completly empty as it sits. I'll dig a little deeper.. Thank...

I pulled my Sundance XLT from the dealer to home in October. She's been in the garage ever since. Yesterday I went and measured the gap between the tires so I could order the Rotochocks. The one side gap was 6 1/4" and the other was 6 1/2". In your opinion is this enough of a difference to...

I'm jealous. I'm definetly making the next one. Safe travels people Paul
