I went to a direct industrial supplier of batteries to get the replacement and got a true industrial deep cycle battery to replace the factory battery. There really wasn't any "damage" in the compartment area from the exploded battery. It was all contained in the battery box. The tech there...

About the only thing it can be is a stuck injector. Should be an easy fix I for a dealer. I had a toyota 4 runner with a very similar problem. I had to pull the intake manifold and watch the injectors while I had someone turn the key to the on position. This charged the injectors and you could...

I replaced my 12 volt battery before my latest trip as the landing jacks would not work without me plugging in the 50 amp service. So I figured the battery was dead and I knew I needed it for proper service. I took the whole rig to the local battery dealer and let the kid there do the labor of...

I think most people here will tell you the easiest thing to do would be to add a Honda or Yamaha 3000 watt generator. That will run everything you have quietly unless you have two AC units.

Then we get to our first stop and there is a maxxis dealer across the street from us. Really ?????

Those cheapos I just bought are Chinese crap too. If I get two years out of them I will be happy. Only cost me $500 but if I could have gotten something better I would have. I just had to have something quick to keep the DW happy.

Well I almost fell victim to the Tow Max tires too. Luckily I caught it time. I use my camper primarily during the winter months as a camping retreat and it usually gets 2 or 3 small trips per year around 300 miles each way. My tires were getting close to 4 years old so I was greasing up he...

I am heading to Savannah, Georgia on Monday but it should be long gone by then !

As we too are still in the work place our summer travels are limited but we will pull out July 4TH and spend a few days visiting my parents in Middle Georgia. We will then move on to Savannah and stay at Skidaway Island Sstate Park for a week. We will wrap up our Trip with three days at...

I have the Sundance 3300 RLB and mine came with the Carrier 15,000 BTU unit. I am sure yours was equipped with a 15,000 BTU unit too. I have the Honda EU3000 for a genny and I could not start my AC unit down here in Alabama at almost sea level. Every time I would try to start the AC it would...

I have always wanted one of those too! I just got a plastic milk crate and place my 20 lbs cylinder in the milk crate and haul it in the back of the TV. The milk crate keeps it from sliding around or turning over. Why can't they make a cylinder with a square bottom?

I just added a Dometic Brisk Air II with a ductless interior unit. I like it a lot. Yes it is loud and the fan runs constantly. I'm ok with this arrangement as before I had a fan running all the time anyway trying to cool the bedroom. The one thing you might want to ask Heartland about is the...

I have wondered about this installation myself and have thought that a wire fish could be run alongside the AC ducts where you pull a length of 12/2 Romex back to the fuse panel. You could pull vents along the way maybe to help steer the wire ? Maybe not ? I guess the toughest part is to run the...

Sorry, I wasn't clear on that. I put the regulator back on the Weber Q grill and use the 20 lbs cylinder. Just remember to use a little Teflon tape on the threads when you changed out the parts.

Thanks Mike I will check that. It was tough getting the units to bolt together. Larry, the unit does cool down the front bedroom nicely. My 5vr is about 37 feet long, I think, and the stock carrier unit just can't get the camper below 80 in the peak of summer. I ran the unit yesterday just for...

I took the regulator off my Weber Q220 and had a hose made to connect it to the quick connect. It worked fine. The only problem was I loved the Q grill so much I wanted to use it at home and I couldn't because it was missing the regulator. I just got the hose for the 20 lbs cylinder and I tote...

Ok so I found a 13.5k Dometic Brisk Air II unit on Craig's list that was being removed from a fairly new SOB travel trailer that had been involved in a wreck. The unit was reasonably priced ($150) so I bought it to add to my Sundance 3300rlb. I figured it would work out nice for the summers here...

I would love to swap to a TH as I have lots of toys that I would love to travel with me.. I need sleep space for my two boys that are college aged now. I want one with a loft bed so that if it is just one boy we don't use the garage for sleep space. I fully expect to use the garage as living...

No mine is not adjustable either..... I wish it was too!

I used a cardone motor #82-126. Purchased from O'reilly auto Parts.

I am in Alabama and I winterize mine. A gallon will run you about $4.50 and will pretty much do it. I drain my water heater and flip my valves to bypass it and turn on the water pump. I then put the hose from the pump into the gallon jug and set it in the UDC. I then go inside and turn on the...

Well the remanufactured motor was only a dollar cheaper than a new motor. The new motor was $34 bucks ....take your pick I guess .... This is for an American made left hand drive vehicle.

I lost my awning this past week and determined it was the motor that went bad. I pulled the motor and checked on the Carefree Website for the replacement part and a couple of RV parts dealers on the web as well. The places that did have the motor wanted upwards of $200 for a replacement. Whoa...

I took some pics of the roof before I had it replaced. I will check on the computer and see if I can still locate them. Luckily insurance did pay for that repair. I just used the Protect-All rubber roof cleaner and treatment from my local RV dealer. It was really simple to use but I don't think...

I do have it on a surge protector too and the electrical connection is very reliable at the storage site. So I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm 99% sure the converter did it all when it went.

I think the electrical problems all stem from the roof in a round about way. The roof just simply dry rotted away and came off in patches. The dealer said he had never seen anything like it before. I treated it each year too and never saw it coming. I thought at first it might have been critters...

Just thought I would replay my current year in the Sundance since it's been so much fun. This summer I find that the Water heater is fried. Apparently the Heating Element burned in two and this caused the thermostat to burn up as well. Got that fixed and then Toilet started leaking through the...

Found a replacement remote on ebay for $20. The same seller has another if anyone else needs one like I needed. http://www.ebay.com/itm/JENSEN-TV-DVD-REMOTE-CONTROL-/330954127303?pt=US_Remote_Controls&hash=item4d0e6737c7

Where is that at in Millbrook speedy ? Jackson Lake Road maybe? Jan and Bill, even though it is raining I sleep so well in the RV while the rain is pattering down on the roof!

How much do airbags cost to add to a 2500. It might be just as easy to upgrade to a one ton. Just asking?

My 2011 Sundance is doing the same thing. I am about to pull my converter and check it out. My lights dim and then I can hear a fan whine from the converter for about 30 secs or so. I thought it was the battery so I disconnected it and the flickering stopped. I bought a new battery and it does...

You will be ok as long as you stay at Desoto. You are up on the mountain there Lol. We have been there once and really loved it. Hang in there it is just as wet is South Alabama right now too!

I added a hard start kit today to the carrier 15,000 BTU unit on my Sundance. The dealer did not have one specifically for the carrier unit that I have so I bought one for the dometic AC units. Just followed the instructions the same as printed and mounted the new relay and capacitor. I tried...

I repaired my own hot water heater this past weekend. It was quite simple to do if you can find the parts. Before we Left the campground I found that my toilet was leaking so I have ordered the parts to fix that as well. I just find it easier to fix stuff myself instead of hauling the camper to...

I have a Honda 3000 EUi and mine will not start my 15k A.C. Unit. I have not added the hard start capacitor yet and I plan on doing that very soon to see if that helps or not. But for the fuel economy and the quietness you cannot beat the Honda. The 3000 is almost too much for one person to...

Well I am up and running now it seems. I found a replacement thermostat at All-Star RV in Robertsdale, Al and I have it installed now. Here are some pics of the good one and then the bad one just in case someone wants to see what they look like. You can visually see which one is bad and which...

Are any of these toy haulers with three axles able to be pulled by a 2500 diesel? I would love to be able to pull a toy hauler with my Harley inside but I don't want the 2 axle models. I don't want to buy a new truck either. I love my mega cab Dodge and they don't sell those anymore.

I will check with them tomorrow. There are several dealers in the area. I just hope one of them has the part I need. It is a little drive to defuniak springs but I may have to do it. I did put a jumper wire on the broken thermostat and the water heater works so replacing it will definitely fix it.

Well I feel much better now. I am camping at Gulf State Park in Alabama and when I arrive I realize I have no hot water on the electric side. I pulled the heating element and it was obviously fried. I found a 120 volt camco replacement at a local hardware store and swapped it out. I still got no...

Yep that was the website where I saw it online for $40. I did see their universal remote but heck for $8 more I'd buy the Jensen and be able to control the DVD player too.
