Mice are difficult to deal with. Once you think everything is sealed, they find another way in. I have sealed and re-sealed any areas that look like they could get in and they find a new way. Just found more evidence recently after spending lots of time and money to clean up from a few years...

I use the Truma level check sensor and it works very well. https://www.truma.com/int/en/products/truma-caravan-rv-gas-fittings/truma-levelcheck.html

Water pump. Have had to replace ours 3 times in 9 years.

I have noticed that the Sundance models are no longer listed on the Heartland RV site. But I can find no reason or information as to why? Have they been discontinued?

You will also get a rotten egg smell from the hot water flow if you have left water in the hot water tank for a few weeks or longer. We always empty the hot water tank after each trip to eliminate it. The DW won't drink the water otherwise. This could also have contributed to the odors.

Here is the 2011 Sundance brochure. Listing the capacities.

We also have a claimed 57 gallons of fresh water. I have found that our fresh water tank holds about 47 gallons with measuring the water flow using a meter and ensuring it is completely full. I believe that HL adds the 10 gallons of the hot water heater to the 47 to advertise 57 gallons.

Weeks in advance! Lucky you! I have to book in Jan. for summer camp sites, and even then it is hit and miss to get what you want.

So with the number of RVs increasing, is there a corresponding increase in RV parks, camp grounds, etc., in which to use them? It is very difficult to find campground openings in Arizona. How would one find out about plans for building/opening more?

Also most trailer tires need to be replaced at the 4 or 5 year mark regardless of the miles on them. I replaced our Maxxis tires in March at a little over 4 years and had replaced others about 4 years. They were showing hairline cracks in the side walls. They perhaps had 8000 miles total on...

Dan, nice looking campground. Where is it?

Where exacting from Williams? South?

Ha-ha... you funny...

I have found if the batteries are not at a high charge, the awning won't move well or at all. You might try plugging into house current so you have full converter voltage available at the motor.

We had an intermittent leak that appeared to come from the sink in the bathroom. It turned out to be from the external shower, which is on the outside wall opposite the sink. It leaked only when we used the external shower. The fitting to the shower head was loose and when the water valve or...

Looks nice. What is your source and part number?

Thanks for the feedback. I am aware of Fool Hollow, Woods Canyon Lake, Canyon Point, etc., but they are long filled up with reservations. My point is, there are far more RVs headed to the rim than there are reserve-able camp sites. And the size of some the class A RVs would indicate that they...

My wife and I drove from Payson, AZ to Mesa, AZ yesterday and counted over 133 RVs of all sizes going up to Payson and beyond. So about 133+ per hour are traveling from the Mesa/Phoenix areas up to the forests in central-east Arizona. Where are they going? There does not seem to be that many...

I replaced our bathroom fan with a Vortex fan. Installs from inside - no need to go to the roof. It works very well. http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/vortex-replacement-vent-fan-upgrade/49448

I posted this in July 2011... The fan in our Sundance did not move much air either - we couldn't feel much cooling effect even on high. I lowered the fan about 3 inches and now it is much more usable for cooling. To do this I used longer screws and a second electrical box to preserve the...

We use a small suction cup to hang it from an outside window.

I have found that mine acts this way when on battery power only. The motors appear to draw a fair amount of current when operating. When the FW is plugged into AC power I don't have this behavior. It could be just my set up, but something to consider.

I have found that if I leave water in the hot water heater for a few weeks, that there often is a bad hydrogen sulfide smell as the water leaves the faucet and upon examining the tank found what looks like white milk curds in the tank. If I drain the tank between trips, this does not occur...

Here's 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011. Didn't have 2008, sorry.

Lowering the fan helps... see post #4 here: //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/25718-ceiling-fan?p=190613&highlight=#post190613

I have found that the vent tube if not venting air, will cause this condition. See my post below for details. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/33157-Fresh-Water-Tanks-Expanded-An-Expensive-Lesson

Please see post #9 in the entry below for other ideas as to the problem... The tank expansion could very well be due to the trapped air while filling. //heartlandowners.org/showt...pensive-Lesson

We have a 2011 Sundance and there is a coax connection plate inside the compartment to the left of the DVD/CD player. On the plate, one can choose which TV feed to select. Ether from the Satellite or the park TV signal. You will need to unthread the connector and move it to the signal you want.

Also make sure you have fully charged batteries. The awning motor will appear to be troublesome if you have low 12 Volts from the batteries.

I agree. Not the best location. I usually access the switches from outside so I don't have to bend over. I also moved the main cabin light switch to just under the counter by the door (easy to do) and used a larger rocker switch so that it is easier to operate. We love it there.

I replaced a damaged one with a new one from this vendor. They have the painted black model also. http://www.sendelwheel.com/wheels/t03bm

I have added four 12 Volt outlets to our Sundance. If running the Carryout only, you can just tap into a local 12 V. line, such as the light in the UDC, which is what I did. It powers the Carryout just fine. For other outlets/uses, such as a 12 V. adapter for a laptop, you will need to run a...

Sorry to hear of your cold temps. It has been in the low to mid 70's for weeks here in Tucson, Arizona. The sky is clear and it's beautiful outside. Come on down for a visit to warm up!

Gary, Great idea and looks great also! We'll have to consider doing the same.
