To All: These firearm threads always get interesting. They often reveal deficiencies in knowledge and thought process regarding the huge responsibility carrying a firearm brings with it. This post is not intended to belittle anyone (I would love to camp with all of you, it would be the safest...

I did not get a chance to read all of the posts in this thread so forgive me if I'm repeating something that was already said. First, never be afraid to visit the United States, or anywhere for that matter. Just understand where your travels will take you and the dangers that exist in that area...

I'm getting better at changing Towmax tires, I have it down to 30 minutes. it's not NASCAR but these tires are good for something :)

Jay I couldn't agree with you more, We camp in nicer areas most of the time also. And I too have never felt as though I NEEDED my gun while at a campground. But, I just made a wrong turn this afternoon in Detroit,... this is the neighborhood we ended up in: enough said, evil can be just one...

MagellanTX, This topic has always been and will always be a very touchy personal subject. There is a lot of misinformation here and on other forums regarding the safe towing of RV's. Some people talk safety, and some people talk numbers. Two entirely different subjects in my opinion. What's...

hi John, not sure about the roof on a 2008 model but here is a link to pictures I took at the factory in 2010: //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/33306-Roof-Vent?p=264559&highlight=#post264559

The following link may help. The Elk Ridge comes off the same assembly line. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/24143-ATF-Elk-Eagle-Ridge-Check-Valve-on-Blackwater-Flush

We don't own the Key Largo but the same thing happened to our Sundance. The sink was dropping in the back and letting water underneath the countertop. After doing my best impression of a contortionist, I realized two of the screws in the back of the sink were loose. After tightening them I went...

Re: ATF: Sundance - Sundance trailer is a fire hazard Looks like the making of a recall:

Here is the Sundance factory line in 2010. Hope it helps. Good luck. Please post some pictures if you do it!

Re: ATF: Sundance - Sundance trailer is a fire hazard This is what we have on our 2011 Sundance 3300RLB: Can we get a little more info from the OP?

We have two of the Flaire sofa beds in our Sundance and use them half a dozen times a year with no issues. We are very careful with them as others have reported holes being caused by pinching in the sofa mechanism. We have the heavier mattress in the picture below, not the cheaper thin mil...

Yote taking a dirt nap! From the back deck!

This thread has obviously struck a nerve in many of us who've experienced quality control issues, but with all of this said I feel compelled to add the outstanding customer service experience I had last week at the factory. I swung by customer service/parts department to get some advice on some...

Time for a Cycolonscopy.....:eek:

Robert, there is no excuse for this lack of quality control and it will catch up with Heartland eventually if it continues. I have been to many factories, some more than once including Heartland. I believe Heartland used to be the best value for the money as recently as three or four years ago...

Sundance Paramount Package Sundance Paramount Package Lamilux 4000 High Gloss Taupe Colored Sidewalls & Rear Wall, Painted Front Cap, Frameless Windows, LED Lights Throughout Interior, Solid Surface Rear Ent Prototype Sundance in full body paint.

We've looked at them, and like the 36 and 37 ultimate, but they are a little bit too heavy for my F250. Thanks for the reply, have fun at the rally.

Yesterday was a long day. Woke up at 7 AM, broke camp at 10 and limped back to the yard by 11 o'clock. Drove up to Michigan Truck Spring in Saginaw and picked up four new springs and a box of wet bolts. Had the trailer up on blocks by 2 o'clock and my air ratchet decided to retire on the first...

Why is General RV not selling the Landmark anymore? I've been to two of them recently and neither one of them wanted to show me a Heartland product. All they wanted to do was show me anything but what I was looking for.

The plan is to replace all 4 spring packs and upgrade to wet bolts. I have 6000 pound axles but do not want to affect the ride by stiffening the suspension with higher capacity springs. My initial thought is to increase the spring pack by 1 leave and stay with a 3000 pound capacity. The...

I am actually heading to the factory on the 21st to tour the Bighorn plant, is there anybody at Heartland I should speak to that can look at this? It is out of warranty.

Just measured it, it's a broken leaf. Good eye jon ! Thanks for the quick Dr. visit :( Next Question: Should I, Change the leaf, Change the whole spring pack, Change all the spring packs, or sell it and buy a Bighorn....

During my routine undercarriage inspection I noticed one of my springs had a leaf out of position. One of the leafs in the front right spring pack has moved back about 3 inches. I jacked up the frame to take the weight off the spring pack and loosened up the U-bolts but still couldn't get the...

Dave, Thanks for the reply(large)reply. I've read all the Dicor lit. and agree with it. I believe that they will last 10-12 years (I don't know about 20) My roof is over 2 years old, I wash it with a little dish soap and water 3-4 times a year (I wont even use the products Dicor try's to push on...

Ray, I forgot there was supposed to be a plastic strip in that channel. I'm not sure if there was one installed from the factory, or maybe it's on the highway someplace. I'll have to read up on the double-sided tape idea, it would take a couple layers to build it up inside the channel. I think...

How long are these rubber roofs suppose to last? I feel confident that I will not have to be concerned or have to chalk that seam for a long time.... I also think that the end caps on these rolling box cars are the weakest link, see photo above. This is a Sundance, made out of wood!.....not a...

So I'm at the dealership doing some work on my camper and low and behold there is a Heartland Sundance right next to my rig with water damage (see picture). This got me to thinking maybe I should do some preventative maintenance. So I picked up a role of Eternabond®, RV leak repair tape...

Hi Jim, Are you going to be in the Elkhart area around the 21st or 22nd, I'm going to tour the Bighorn plant. I will be at the Shipshewana Campground North Tuesday night. Jay

I would like to tool up for RV plumbing, but not sure which route to take. Continue to use the stainless steel clamp method that Heartland uses with plastic fittings and buy the "SSC crimping tool" or switch to the standard connection method using copper crimp rings and brass...

When my pancakes are round, my refrigerator must be level :)

Welcome to the forum. Have fun in the new Bighorn, it's always exciting getting a new camper. I lived in NH for 10 years, miss it a lot, we are planning a trip back east next year. Jay

We do not winter camp per se, but we do camp when the temperature goes below freezing and have never had a problem with them. I do like having them for the many reasons stated in the previous posts. I am not sold on the Sharkbites, (probably only because of ignorance) they look like they go...

hi john, you are right, the big box stores don't have this valve in stock. I have found a suitable replacement online, but not an OEM part. have you tried the shark bite fittings? maybe I should just put together a plumbing kit like yours.

The low point drain ball valves have seized up causing me to strip the plastic thumb lever that operates the valve. Has anybody replaced these shutoff valves? I have not called Heartland yet as I thought I could find a suitable PEX replacement valve but no luck. Not to mention I don't have the...

Thanks to everyone who replied, the good and the bad. That's what forums are all about, finding out what other people think. Don't get me wrong, as I said earlier we love our Sundance, we are just outgrowing it and trying to find the right fifth wheel camper that represents the most value to us...

Hey Jim, does your Key Largo have a cable slide system for the bedroom slide? if so is it a BAL?

May 2010 Sundance, same assembly line, same issue. I use Goof Off once a month on the exterior walls of the slide outs.

Re: Does anybody actually measure the lenght of your trailer to see if it's over their max. This is an old thread, but still a good topic. I use Google Earth's ruler tool. I find it incredibly accurate down to the foot. By using Google Earth you can also avoid those dead-end oops I have to back...

Yes we have considered a Cyclone, the plan is to get a bunkhouse model for the next couple of years until the kids grow up a little more and I have time to acquire a F450, then move into a CY4100 King or something like that. We like the fact that heartland has listened to its consumers and made...
