Hello everyone, got the Sundance out of storage yesterday. Everything worked as it should except for the bedroom slide. One side wouldn’t come out of the wardrobe slide. After troubleshooting I determined the motor on the right side was shot. I removed motor and it was all corroded and rusty. My...

This forum is an absolute gem and will still be lurking around I’ve gotten so much good advice here but after having our daughter we are searching for a bunkhouse floorplan and We’ve looked at every bunkhouse fifth wheel in our budget in the Heartland arsenal and neither my wife or I really like...

Im having a hard time reaching my hitch lock and am looking into getting one of those foldable steps to put on the drivers side of my Seirra. I was all set to buy an amp brand step but while looking on etrailers website i see they dont sell them. They do sell another that i actually like better...

So my dometic A/C failed for the second time in as many years! It was replaced 6mnths after we purchased our sundance and once again its blowing warm air. It really ticks me off as we HAD reservations at a great ACOE campground this weekend and with temps in the middle 80's and a 8mnth old baby...

So the awning on my Sundance has always been very slow to retract but always did. Saturday I was at home and decided to put out the awning to let it "air out" while i puttered around the hous. Opened cabinet, hit switch and nothing. Climbed up on ladder and pulled wires off motor and had voltage...

So started having this weird problem where the gfci trips randomly. I can plug in something one time and it trips then try again and it wont. It does it on multiple gfci protected outlets so I believe its related to the main gfci outlet. I can plug in my outlet tester and it will never trip but...

Finished all my spring projects and were ready to go. Installed 3" lift via blocks and u bolts, new goodyear endurance tires and black accented wheels, Jt strongarms, king jack antenna, oxygenics fury shower head, new residential faucets, and finished it off by de-winterizing and touching up all...

Finally got my new wheels and tires installed today. Got a great deal on the new goodyear endurance so i figured I'll be everyones guniea pig and see how they hold up. Went with same size and rating as the stock blowmax's. Hope goodyear hit a homerun with them. T before after

Hey everyone, looking for some troubleshooting advice here. I just swapped out my batwing for the king jack replacement head. Had no trouble other than the red light on the antenna wont come on. The red light on the tv wallplate in bedroom does however. I can deduce from other post here that...

Just got a new 16ft trailer to haul the kubota on. Its got dexter torflex torsion axles, wow does this thing pull nice. Its a exceptionally well built trailer. If you're in the market for a trailer i highly recommend CornPro and bennetts trailers outa salem Ohio. Im putting these same...

I am about to install the axle lift blocks and new wheels/tires on my sundance Xlt fiver. I'm looking for help/advice on the best way to lift this sucker off the ground. I have access to bottle jacks and an almost unlimited supply of heavy oak cribbing. Anyone done anything like this or am i...

So I'm in the market for new tires to replace my blowmax's. I'm debating wether or not to just replace them with the same spec'd maxxis or im leaning more towards upgrading to 16"rims with Lt225/75r16 bridgestone duravis tires. They have a slightly higher load rating yet basically the same size...

So I'm looking to replace the tires and possibly the rims as well. I have a Xlt fiver. Im wondering if anyone has gone up a size to lift trailer a tad. My new TV is higher than old one and I'm looking to gain some height. If need be I'll go to 16" rims if i have to. Any advice would be...

2015 Sierra 2500HD. Duramax/Allison. Went from an 09 superduty with a 5.4l gas with about 375lb ft torque to a little over 765, think I'll notice any differance, haha.... Before After

Hey everyone I've been searching for a new truck to replace my F-250. Pretty much had my mind set on a new super duty gasser but my dealer asked me if i wanted to test drive a GMC that he had. Its a 2015 Sierra 2500hd dmax/allison. Theres a night and day differance in ride quality and i thought...

So i just sold my current TV because i wanted to upgrade to a crew cab and was all set to buy a used 16 F-350. Unfortunately about a week ago theysold the truck and I hadn't mine yet so i am in the market to find 16 "leftover" superduty or the dealer said he could order me exactly what i want...

Im currently looking at leasing a new 16 leftover F350 from a local dealership and am looking for people's experience's towing there trailers/ fivers with the gas engine. My current fiver is a sundance XLT weighing in fully loaded at 9145lbs so I'm not spending 8k for a diesel to pull my camper...

Thinking about upgrading my TV as my local Ford dealer has some pretty good deals on there '16 leftover superdutys.. One in particular has really caught my eye and has everything i want except the ford factory fifth wheel pucks.. You guys out there that have the oem system or the reese underbed...

My 2014 Sundance XLT came with the towmax tire in 225/75r15.. Ive since read all the "blowmax" storys out there, my question is was there only problems with the bigger sizes and heavier trailers or our mine a timebomb also... I havent read much about the smaller lightweight trailers with...

Just finished installing some LED accent lighting above slides and front cabinets. Turned out pretty cool IMO..

Finally got around to changing out all the cheesy DC rocker switches that came stock on my sundance with nice AC decora residential switches. Hardest part was trimming the paneling to fit the switches in the walls. I also moved the living room light switch out of the cabinet and onto the wall...

Just kidding, i moved this for a good family friend who uses it at private property he owns... It felt like i was hauling a brick compared to my XLT... Lol

Does anyone know if the stromberg carlson lend a hand and the mini lend a hand use the same mounting brackets. I know the fullsize one wont fit because of my awning but i was wondering if the smaller "mini" uses smaller brackets. Thanks

Hey everyone I have a question regarding my fifth wheel hitch hieght. I towed the 5er all last year, trailer level without timbrens installed... I just installed timbrens in the rear to try and reduce some of the sagging and now appropriately the 5er is about 1.5-2" out of level... I have about...

After failing to find many good options for carrying me and DW's bike around i decided i could make something better than i could buy, this is what i came up with... I got the short trays on ebay and the front fork clamps from rocky mounts website, biggest drawback is removing front wheels...

This is our 285ts 5er... We picked the sundance mainly because of its good value..

Thought it would be cool to have some lights along the length of the 5er so i installed some blue LED rope lighting along the entire length of the doorside.. Looks pretty cool i think cant wait to get it out of storage ..

Hello everyone, me and wifey bought a new leftover 2014 285ts last year, so we're coming up into our second year using her.. So far have only had some minor issues that the dealer has taken care of. So far its been awesome and cant wait until we get her outa storage and get back out there...
