    Wintering in a Sundance...

    First if this is the wrong thread I apologize, I contemplated the full time forum but seeing as I need to do more than full time I felt modification was a better option. Little background for those of you unaware, the city of Minot, ND was devastated by a flood of unseen proportions. Our home...

    Sundance Water tank/pump issues

    Our pump broke earlier this season. I replaced it with a new unit, same model. However now we are having issues with the tank that appear to be more than just the pump. Lately our pump has been running constantly, when it does I turn it off then check the tank level. It's of course empty so...

    Aftermarket Slam Latch

    I've been wanting something better than the cam lock for some time now. Yesterday I found Trimark 60-460 EZ Access Baggage Door Lock. From the measurements given it looks as if this will work. Until I order a pair or two I'm not 100% sure. I should call Heartland and ask them where I can get...

    Use of Formaldehyde?

    We purchased our rig earlier this year. What has become interesting is between the three boys one has gotten sick every time we go camping. I'm talking sniffles, I'm talking full on fever and vomiting. I thought it was just poor timing and the inevitability of three boys. However it has been...

    Where do you store your companion...

    As a contractor I use my pick-up so after trips I generally remove my 5th wheel, being that my Sundance is the only fiver I have. This makes sense. However due to weight and size, I haven't found a good place to store my Companion. Currently its hanging from the pin box, which I don't see a...

    Super Slide II vs DIY tray

    Alright I'm considering a sliding tray for my basement. A 60" Super slide II with 35" trim kit will fit. Only problem, how deep is the actual tray? As a carpenter/fabricator I can build a slide using 60" Accuride full extension drawer slides. My issue is the Super slide II is $385.67, the...

    Slide-Out awning tension...

    I had my slide out awnings installed by the dealer Lakeshore RV. And I've called and left a message, still awaiting the return. However perhaps someone here knows how to tighten the slide-out awning. The awning over the big living room slide collects water because there is not enough tension...

    Has anyone modified or added a larger battery box, I'm considering adding a second battery to extend boondock time. Right now a another battery is a cheaper option than a generator. This first year much of our camp time will be weekend duty. As such microwave and A/C will just have to be...

Last year I saw the 3300RLB for a family with three boys and a pair of retrievers, this was the one. We carefully considered a multitude of aspects for which our unit had to offer. As a part time...
