The AC in our van is still working well, but it is noisy and not as cold as modern inverter system units. Since we stay in hot places mainly, we were thinking of seeing if we could find a drop-in replacement that would give us improved service. Our original unit is a Dometic 59516.331 So we...

Hi, A couple of our water taps are squeeking, and I would like to get into them to fix them. Do the tap handles come off? I don't want to damage anything as replacements will be hard to get. Is there a safe way of getting them appart? thanks Peter

Hi, I would like to have a look at the inlet conection to the fresh water tank, and also the level probes on all four tanks under our sundance. What is the best way - take off the underbelly covering, or is there a way of access from the top. Thanks, Peter.

Zebbie the cat urinating by door Hi, We live with an eight year old cat, Zebbie. She does seem to like the Sundance, and quickly made it her home in many ways. Recently she has taken to peeing by the entrance door, usually during the night. I think she is trying to mark her territory and keep...

Hi, Last couple of days we have been getting a squeak noise on the front LH jack as we move in the bedroom. Traced it to the square jack tube. Moved the jack up and down a little with the motor, and it is better, but still there. Should we be lubricating something in the jack tube itself? Peter

Hi, When stopping on the roadside, we often only put the lounge slide half way out. Is this Ok, or does it strain the mechanism in some way? Peter

Hi, Our shower head is not working as is used to. The shut-off slide valve lets some water thru, and the shower head itself does not put out its normal flow when operating. I suspect maybe a bit of an O ring from the valve may be responsable for both effects, but how do you get the head open to...

Hi, Just got the final quote for insurance on our Sundance, and it was a LOT more than I expected. (This is Australia, so can't use the firms quoted in other threads.). While trying other firms, we are tossing up the idea of just not insuring at all and taking the risk ourselves. I know its not...

Hi, I've got 2 x 85W solar panels to fit to the roof of my 2900MK this week. Was wondering if I need to find the roof trusses to screw some mounting angle aluminuium into, or is there enough support just screwing into the roof material itself. Also need to find a good roof sealant here too...

Hi, First few days in our Sundance brought wood splinters in both our legs from the rough edges of the bed base. It was also catching on the bed linen, and was very anoying. I proceeded to do my first modification. I bought 2 lengths of 10mm board edging for $3. Cut to fit with a sharp knife...

Hi, Only had our Sundance a few days, so really think it might be our way of working, but this morning, the toilet, that had been working great, blocked. Gave a few large bubbles when flushed, but nothing shifted. Spent the next few hours trying to see where blockage was, and ended up...

Hi, We've got our new Sundance in the CMCA Motorhome park in Casino, Northern NSW, Australia. There was another Sundance that was leaving as we arrived. Not a huge number of 5ers in Australia, but they are becoming very popular here now. Peter
