    Awning Falling Apart??

    Well it looks like my only answer is to make a claim.. if I saw this post from somebody else I would give the same advice as you all did.. but I did just have to make sure first that there was not a flaw in the fabric first, and it looks like that is clearly not the case.. But just to answer...

    Awning Falling Apart??

    I am sure it did not catch the door.. I even had a guy standing outside (and just happened to be on that side) as I was pulling it out.. and last year sometime about mid summer it was cleaned.. I know it looks like it caught something, but believe me when I say it did not... I have a hard time...

    Awning Falling Apart??

    Ok.. I just got my Sundance out of the barn for the year, and towed it home about 250 miles. When I got out to un-hitch it I noticed the awning was torn to shreads.. Now looking at it I would swear somthing caught it and ripped it.. but that is not the case here.. it was a open tow down I-75...

    Battery quick disconnect

    This topic just happened to come up last weekend at the Michigan Rally. And one thing Jim B. told me to remember is that if you install this battery switch (and it is recomemded) to not forget to turn in back on when in tow.. if your master switch is in the off position and for some reason your...

    Preventive Maintenance (leaks)

    I have been waiting to get ours out for the first real trip this spring. The only trip we have done in ours was after it was winterized so we did not use any water in our new coach!! They did not have mine hooked up to water during my PDI and I wish that I would have been a member of this site...

    Valuable lesson learned!!

    In my old Terry I had a rear kitchen and put out my main slide, on the way out I heard the same cracking noise that makes any one of us cringe!! One of my kitchen drawers came open and it was on the back side of slide that I never even checked.. ripped it apart, had to make a new one... So...

    Lost my FM Antenna - where can I find a replacement?

    Jack, I am not sure if they are all the same or not but mine is just a flex rubber am/fm automotive antenna from any auto parts store! I would be willing to bet that you could just replace the antenna without messing with the base.. And on a further note.. I can not imagine your dealer or...

    Skylight cover

    I have seen people use a piece of foam from like a old rv bed. Cut it a little to large for the hole and it should just stick in place! I know its kind of tacky but it works and you can remove and hide it very easy! Just a thought...

    Tires for the truck

    I wanted a oversized tire with a fairly aggressive tread pattern. So I went with the Nitto Terra Grappler A/T. I had BFD rugged's before this tire and I liked those also but they were no good in snow! The Nitto's are amazing in snow and during summer time just going down the road. They are...

    JT's Level 1

    Yea I guess it would be two products, I just thought maybe it all came as one package.. But thanks for the info Jim on the stabilizers. I use my tri pod and have never liked the way it sticks out and makes a trip hazard in the front of the coach.. And like you said, its night and day diference...

    JT's Level 1

    It sounds like this product is a nice deal. If I am reading this right then it would take the place of a tri-pod and any form a stick on or bolt on level that you have to add on aftermarket. If that is the case then you would save money having this, cause my tri-pod was around 150 bucks if I...

    More info on LM/BH Slam Latch Door (by Mor/ryde)

    I like it! Just curious why can't they be retro fitted? I understand it would mean drilling holes for the shocks and a big one for the handle but aside of that I can't see why you couldnt...I am sure I am missing something though..lol Just wondering? Not that I would do it anyway..lol

    JohnDar said it all...lol We woke up in Michigan this morning to over 1 inch of snow on the ground!! I guess its time for the cones to start changing into potholes...

    Enclosed and Heated Holding Tanks & Valves

    Duramax1, I am myself a little confused now.. I do have the spit bathroom and do have two ducts going under the stairs.. One goes to the vent at the bottom of the entertainment center and the other goes to the vent in the master bedroom.. If you have a vent at the bottom of the entertainment...

    Enclosed and Heated Holding Tanks & Valves

    Since this is already a topic here..and has already been a issue with me..here is another thought of mine about the heating issues in the Sundance with split bathrooms and side bedroom units.. The one heat duct in the master bedroom is in my opinion is to close to the thermostat, in fact it is...

    Heating Issue!!

    Duramax1, The second hose goes to a vent on the side of the entertainment center all the way at the floor... so it kind of blows at the entry door and the stairs going to the master bedroom..i think you can see it in the pictures if you look close...its a round vent not a floor vent... if...

    bottle jack/ floor jack

    Two different times this summer while towning my old Terry 5er I had flats.. It was my fault for not checking tire pressures prior to my trip and also cause the tires were 14 years old (mind you they did not look bad at all)...that being said.. I had checked to make sure there was a spare on...

    Heating Issue!!

    Thanks Jim, I did not expect this to go that far.. but anything I can do to help make this better for others is a bonus... I was shocked when I took the stairs off and found that they just pushed them down on the heat duct... its not like the person doing that didnt know he was doing it...oh...

    Heating Issue!!

    Scott, There are 4 screws.. two in the top that go straight back and two on the bottom that go through the floor... No prying needed.. you can see the break in the carpet where they come apart!! Kind of funny.. as I am drawing on the pictures all I can think is how much I hate it when John...

    BR Slides

    I can tell you that when mine goes in it touches the dresser.. and IMHO it does not hurt a thing.... the slide once in does not have any play at all.. and if it did not go all the way in you would be able to tell from the outside of the coach... But there are much more experianced people in here...
