    I keep peeking around here. I cant believe there is no one else from IA showing interest. I am still planning but the health is still a big if for me.

    Would you buy Heartland again? Best Florida dealer(s)?

    I agree with all of the above replies. We have a 2010 Sundance 3200re. Bought it new off the lot in 09 and couldnt be happier. The Sundance is not a high end unit but that doesnt mean lower quality. When I read about other brands on other forums and the complaints I see is enough for me to stick...

    Has anyone used this before.

    WOW, Just yesterday I had a conversation with my DW about downgrading from our 2010 3200re. Shes not ready to let it go but knows time is coming. Fact is I was dx'd 2 weeks ago with a progressive lung disease and in the final stage but dont know if its 5 years or sooner or longer yet, but who...

    I made a GPS choice, feed back welcome

    Re: I made a choice, feed back welcome I really considered going up to the 1490t I think it was but really wanted lifetime maps as priorty one. Not sure if I saw the 1490LMT. Lifetime traffic was a bonus but would have been happy with the bluetooth instead. As far as background noise, I think...

    I made a GPS choice, feed back welcome

    I followed with interest the thread on GPS units on here. I was really holding out for the 465T but Black Friday happened and "Target" had a Garmin 1450LMT ,regular price is $319.00 but was reduced for Black Friday to $159 plus I got a $30.00 off coupon in the store. All said and done, I walked...

    LP gas regulator

    Thats kind of what I was thinking. The tank belongs to the park but no regulator on it. I dont suppose it would be too much cost to put a regulator on it but cost will go to us because it is not even on the site we will be using. Thanks for the replies.

    LP gas regulator

    We will be in site summer of 2011 and have access to 250 gal lp tank. Not sure if we want to use it yet. Was wondering ,will we have to add different regulator or can we simply hook into the regulator from our 30lb tanks? The installation of the tank will be done professionally but dont want to...

    Barn Living in Your RV

    I stayed in a private campground inthe 90's and the owner I thought was an actual home that just needed some updates. Turn out that it was a small machine shed that was left standing before the area was turned from a farm residence to a private cg. Anyway, this house that tuned out to be a...

    Official End of (my) Season

    They will probably have to drag us out of the camp ground kicking and screaming! Not really but we fell into a volenteer job this summer and we are going to milk it for all its worth before we have to go back to our stick and brick place.

    What was your most enjoyable tme this summer...

    Most exciting time was the whole camping season. Ours started April 12 and havent spent a night in our stick and brick yet. Our summer was more of a "staycation". We are in a park 5 miles from home and stayed at the park as volenteers for fundraising and assisted in some mowing duties in...

    Black flat worm in toilet

    Leeches? They would appear to be flat at first glance, they are black and live in mud, they would have a yellow stripe on their body. Then theres water leeches, smaller in size but survive in water and have no stripe and are smaller than a mud leech. both appear flat as they inch along. Both...

    Water Pump is loud

    I'd have it checked out by the dealer. It s a 2010 and should be under warranty. Did ya get the Sundance in Hiawatha? I've found that they take care of you after the sale .

    Anyone else with a 2010 3200re

    Its our first 5er and have had it since Sept, 09. Like the way it pulls and has plenty of room. Lots of of compliments on the layout. Also had some of the issues as others have mentioned but awning has worked fine, never an issue YET! We pull with a 2008 Chevy 2500HD 6.0 gasser with the 6 speed...

    Afraid to ask

    What pug says is the way I do it, I keep a 5/16 diam. hose in the fill compartment and blow into it as I begin to fill and no more back flow filling problems.

    Newbie propane question

    Its been awhile since it was explained to me but I understood that the switch could be in the middle with both tank valves open, that is providing that both tanks are full when you start using them. Otherwise with the switch in the middle and when one tank empties and both valves are open...

    Smoke detector

    I think they skimped on a quality smoke detector. They seem to be of Wal-Mart quality. I think I will just skip the dealer repair on this one and look at getting one like Tx bobcat led me to. Ours would be activated by just using the coffee pot in the corner furthest from the unit.

    Smoke detector

    Thats what I was hoping to find. A detector with a hush button. I am going to get me a couple of them. Thanks for the reply

    Smoke detector

    We have a 3200re and the smoke detector is located in the hall above the steps to the bed. When cooking or simply making toast for breakfast, the alarm is set off. Even the Coffee pot sets it off. I've looked for a screw or adjustment to set the sensitivity but havent found one. We pull the...

    Very touching video

    I have passed it on. I have 4 boys, 2 were in the military. Between the two we have endured 4 deployments. One was a stateside and a waiting game to see where and if he would be sent to Iraq or Afganistan and he ended up doing 2 tours in Iraq. The other had 1 deployment. I have seen nothing more...

    Colonoscopy Preparation

    Lucky you, I will tell you that from experience the procedure is well worth it. In 2006 I went 3 or 4 months with problems. I took the gallon of juice the night before also but never really got the desired results. but went for my appointment anyway. My results were expected, I had colon cancer...

    A trip to Petco

    Thats funny everytime I hear that one. A fella I worked with and I was in a conveinence store and it was busy with a line of people waiting to pay. In order to try and get all the gas customers sorted out the cashier would ask each patron if they had gas. When my co-worker got his turn to pay...

    Police Harrassment

    So its true, I had a parent tell me once that the local law was harrassing their son only because he was and going to under age drinking parties. He had no other vices such as breaking and entering or any theft of any sort just wanted to party with his friends. He got ticketed maybe once but it...

    A question about cabinet construction???

    See my reply to OP. 2010augusta is on track. A ratchet clamp might be a little akward to use. I suggest a strap also but I am able to manipulate a simple tie down strap that uses the slip type buckle. The trick is only have enough pressure for the joints to make contact, a ratchet strap might...

    A question about cabinet construction???

    Just a suggestion. When you get your Cyclone, you will obviously do a walk thru so take special notice of the doors which you have apparently done anyway. If all the doors are intact then maybe you could get somewhere that you can get access or use of an air pinner. Put about 2 to 4 pins in each...

    She wants to look

    I may have stuck my own foot in my mouth with the last purchase. I simply said that instead of the used 06 Montana for about 3k less that the 2010 Sundance, a better rate on the new one and that we would have a better trade in the event we decide in 6 or 7 years to sell out everything, and go...

    She wants to look

    We just bought our Sundance 3200RE this summer. When I first heard about the Greystone, with the ext. color and int. options she wants to look. I thought that I read where some of the Greystone was going to offer a quad slideouts. When we were looking she fell in love with a 2006 Montana...

    Original or Scented

    Sundance 3200RE purchase

    We got our 3200re in late August and have no issues with ours except #1 gray tank needed adjusted and they had to re plumb how it was run and said that it was an issue that they were fixing in production but its an easy fix and we are very happy so far

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: IA, Amana * - 10/1/2010 to 10/03/2010

    Good choice, its a nice clean well kept area. Also its only about 30 miles from us so we are definatly making plans to be there. Used to be you could tour the wineries there and they have some pretty good home made wines. The little shops are interesting also and all set up so you just park and...

    Of course its empty while towing and any left over water is either saved for the next fill or dumped if I dont use it before pulling out of CG or I offer to fill my neighbors tank.

    fresh h2o filler

    Thats a pretty handy set up. I am in search of a plastic 35 gal. barrel. I had one several years ago that I put a 3/4in spigot in the small bung and went to a truck tire repair shop and got a long metal about 2" or so tire valve stem which had threads and drilled a hole the size of the stem...
