    Runs on gas but not ac

    Question... I have noticed that my domestic 2852 is running on gas but not ac. I left the fridge on after a trip assuming we were going out the following week but plans changed. Shut the fridge off and opened the doors just to find mold. I bought a new dinosaur board hoping that would get it...

    Running a/c in shed

    My sundance sits in my machine shed. Is it ok to run the a/c if we are working in there? Obviously there isn't much airflow across the unit so will that be a problem? I can put a fan up there to blow air across. Do I run the risk of freezing up? I have gone camping many times when there...

    accumulator PSI

    Thanks MTPockets. I should be ok then. sometimes I buy things and fail to realize that they may need to be adjusted to the specific application. Luckily I am in central Illinois and the altitude changes shouldn't effect things!!! hahahah!

    accumulator PSI

    long story but tracing down what I thought were water gremlins but maybe the gremlins are only in my head. Anyway, a buddy of mine and I were going through the water system and verifying no leaks. Confirmed the pump turned on and off properly and stayed off when all valves were closed. I...

    fresh tank cracked

    Hey guys... Sorry for not getting back. The project got put on hold for a while but I just finished it. I ended up using 3/16x3" and 1/4x3" flat steel to support it again. There is plenty of beef now! We also cut and fixed the non functioning vent and poor vent line from the factory. We made...

    fresh tank cracked

    Wow....disheartening when you spend hours removing the underpinning just to find water all over the basement of your RV. I noticed some water coming out from under the rv this weekend. I knew it wasn't going to be fun but I removed all the underpinning and foil insulation just to find the most...

    Purging ez lube hubs

    Thank you for the advise. Simple enough! I'll do as you say and pray it all works. I've done it many times but was concerned about filling that void between the inner and outer bearing for heat reasons. Thanks again!

    Purging ez lube hubs

    Question....I thought there should be a void between the inner and outer bearing for some heat dissipation. Is this true or false. My sundance doesn't have more than a few thousand miles at the dead most. I don't mind tearing it apart for inspection but i don't know if it is necessary if...

    using city water

    Hard water in the hot water heater did cross my mind but I has to overlook that for the convenience of bathing my kids several times after playing in the sandy playground. Everything went well and saved all my soft water till today. Should have pretty much flushed out the lines of the...

    using city water

    Can you tell me more about this pressure thing? Do I need to physically disconnect the water hose from the spigot? Do you mean just turn the spigot off? I can see a problem if you have the city water on AND the pump on. That would ramp pressure up right? Just let me know exactly what you...

    using city water

    We are leaving for the weekend and the campground has full hook but I have a hard time not leaving with water in my tank JUST IN CASE!! Plus I always use soft water with 2 filters on to make sure I have clean soft water in my lines. Question: My fresh water tank is full of good water. I...

    part number for grease seal

    Thanks guys. Just ordered some double lipped seals for the 2.25 id 3.376 od. Not cheap at all but ordered from etrailer for 11 or 12 bucks each. motion industries wanted 22 bucks each. Not sure what the difference is but I will give this a shot. We don't travel but a few hundred miles a...

    part number for grease seal

    Does anybody have a part number for a 6k 8 lug axle? I want to do a repack job before we travel and always hate having to disassemble THEN drive somewhere to see who has the part. But it is a Sundance with 6k dexter axles. Hopefully someone has the right part number or at least a size...

    Water coming out city water connection

    Sanitizing water lines. Hooked up city water line with regulator to initially flush lines. Added bleach mixture to water in fresh water tank. Filled tank and turned on water pump but the water is blowing out the city water connection. I took the screen off and removed the spring because...

    Adjusting drums

    Good info guys....I am going to assume a fat negative on me having the self adjusting brakes. It isn't hard to raise it wheel by wheel and adjust. I will probably grease them at the same time. Good advise on rotating the tire while greasing. I did that with my old boat trailer just to make...
