    Replacing factory tv antenna

    Hi! My factory antenna on the roof stopped working on my Heartland Sundance, so what I did was install a Walmart antenna to an aluminum mast. I attach it to the ladder and connect it through the hatch via coax cable. There are two connections beside the water/hose inlets-connect to the...

    What bulb to replace wall lamp??

    Thanks for the tip..I had a guest come in to insert it, but no luck either. May be something in the base. Thanks to everyone for their responses. At least I know it is the proper bulb. Good tip about checking the base as well!

    What bulb to replace wall lamp??

    Thanks for your quick response; my problem is I discarded the old one, and the new one: 1076 12v320P lights up, but the two "pins" at the bottom don't seat properly! Also the shade is very tight and I don't want to force it to get a closer look at the socket!! - - - Updated - - - Thanks, the...

    What bulb to replace wall lamp??

    Hi! Our lamp between the two windows in our 2012 Heartland Sundance has a burnt out bulb. The roof bulbs trip the fuse for that circuit. So we bought a dc bulb with two tips at the bottom of the bulb, one on each side. However it lites up, but doesn't seat properly in the socket. Does anyone...

    Ceiling lights, flickering like a Disco

    Hi! We ordered led white lites from China, instead of the ones we purchased at the Tamps RV show. The new White lites all flicker AND interfere with TV reception! Lesson learned! Ross

    Minimizing Travel Anxiety in Dogs?

    Hi Everyone! Thanks for all your ideas; we will try some, esp. putting the kennel in the back seat, on the floor-I hadn't thought of that location. Today we went for a 30 miles drive IN THE SNOW (now I'M anxious), and Molly was anxious going out, better coming back to the RV.

    Minimizing Travel Anxiety in Dogs?

    Hi Pet Lovers! We have an 11 year old Cockapoo who thoroughly loves RVing as you can imagine, but hates the truck travel. Shivering, whining, can't settle down. We have a dog basket between us in the cab. We even tried a half Gravol pill once, but that didn't work. Seems she's anxious going away...

    Newbie to 5th wheel trailer

    Hi! Another factor that my Bro-in Law and fellow RVer, point out is the stopping distance for different tow vehicles. We have a Heartland Sundance which I tow with a single axle Diesel 2500. Lots of power. In Manitoba we have to upgrade our Licence to a class 3, because our RV is over 10000 lbs...

    Considering a 5th wheel as my first trailer. Need Help?

    Hi! We have a Sundance 3 Slides, with GVW of over 10000 lbs. I bit the bullet and bought a 2007 GMC 2500 Diesel to pull it! This is skads of power. We run at just under 1800 RPM at 60 MPH. I get between 11-12 MPH (Canadian Gallon). However, I have chatted with many RVers who say a Vehicle with...

    Help! My Fresh Water Tank Doesn't Like Water!

    Hi Everyone! WE have had the same problem with our Heartland 5th Wheel; took it back to have the hose shortened at the dealers, which solved the problem for a while; last week it wouldn't fill beyond 1/3, all the same symptoms of the others on this site. I solved the problem easily by filling...
