    6-Point Auto-leveling - Is it okay for wheels to be off ground?

    Right in the Level Up brochure, they say it can be used to change a tire.

    Golf Cart Advice

    No it doesn't. No carts means no carts, street legal or not. Our park we have a seasonal site at does not allow UTV's to be driven around the park as golf carts. My Polaris RZR is street legal so I can drive it to the sand dunes instead of trailering it. I was told I could drive it between my...

    Golf Cart Advice

    I love my Yamaha G16 gas cart. Doesn't smell. Much lighter than a battery cart if you have to shift it around.

    Outside Shower

    Mine continuously drips. Can't get it to shut off completely. Also, had the connector at the head end cracked. I replaced the whole hose with a steel flex hose.

    What's in a name?

    Neither the camper or truck have a nickname. But I named my '90 Jeep Wrangler that I built up Lil' Laff. It's a little way for me to remember something about my big brother who died in '98. When I was kid, my brother's high school friends called him Laff (last name is Lafferty) and they'd call...

    Looking at a 2011 3300RBL

    We have a '09 3300RLB. Absolutely love it. We keep it on a seasonal campsite year round. When the kids don't go up with us, we have guests stay with us. The floor plan works out great for this. I also use the back room as a TV room on those rainy days. No complaints about the unit at all...

    questions from a want-to-be owner

    We were sold on the Wildcat 30Loft model. It basically had everything we needed, but I was a little concerned with the loft room. I thought the quality of the unit was good for the money. Then we went to the camper show. I had never heard of Sundance. I walked into the 3300RLB, Sundance's loft...

    Hot water tank leak

    Mine leaked the first time I used the 5ver. Tighening it didn't work. I put new teflon tape on the threads and it stopped.

    Not something you see every day!

    MI law states 65 ft. as the max. length before a special license is required. I saw this a lot in the Dakotas and Montana when we went out west for a trip. A lot of boats behind 5vers.

    Sundance 3300RLB

    The only problem I had with the unit is the shower leaking under the glass. I had to re-chalk it. But this is a common issue with all Heartlands. It's talked about alot on this forum. I talked with a rep at a recent RV show and he stated is was a vendor issue and that it was being dealt with...

    Sundance 3300RLB

    We absolutely love our 3300RLB. Like boat to 5er said, the Sundance is a mid-profile so the front room will be a little short. The Big Horn, Big Country and Landmark are high profile rigs, so they have more headroom in the front. Never had a problem using the shower. I'm 5'8". The kids just...

    Winter storage of LCD's

    I think the manufacture has stated on this message board that the TVs are rated down to -30* F. I could find the post, sorry.

    Questions about power cord standing up to winter weather

    I have a seasonal campsite I keep my 5ver on. I left the power cord plugged in thinking we were going back one more time this season. But we're not. I turned the breakers on the post off, disconnected the negative battery cable and the camper is already winterized. My question is will the...

    Slide Toppers

    I paid $1200 for my 3 toppers, so $1000 sounds like a good deal. I had my 5ver on a seasonal campsite all summer at Silver Lake, MI. This is right off Lake Michigan. The campground is basically an open field, so high winds are common. 30-50 mph gusts are not uncommon. I never had any noise...

    Time for a change

    We have to two friends that are there and enjoy it. Also, a whole group of us are leaving our current seasonal campground for Timberlake. We all have Jeeps or dune buggies for the sand dunes, so we wanted to stay in the area. Timberlake is only a few hundred more than what we currently pay and...

    Time for a change

    We're changing seasonal campgrounds this weekend in the Silver Lake, MI area. We're going to Timberlake Campground, which we had to buy a membership to. Saw a few Big Horns as we toured the campground this past weekend.

    Winterizing tips?

    Unfortunately, we're done this weekend also. My campground where I have my seasonal closes 9/30, so I'm winterizing this weekend. Where did the summer go? As mentioned, blowout and antifreeze is the best protection. I've done just the blowout before without any problems. I now just let the...

    JT Strong Arms

    Have spent most weekends in our 5ver this summer at our seasonal campsite. The JT's are great. No rocking at all. The only con was the T-bolts to tighten them. The T part broke off a couple. I just replaced them all with regular hex bolts since I have a full set of tools in the camper for...

    Watch the caulk around shower pan

    Actually, I think it voids the Lippert warranty on the trailer frame, since the Tow Bubby is a gooseneck hitch adopted for a 5th wheel.

    Watch the caulk around shower pan

    There's no way I would ever hook that up to my trailer or truck. It just doesn't look safe.

    Sulfur smell from hot water

    Thanks for the help. I kind of figured I'd have to drain it every time. I was just wondering if there was something that could be done. I'll add it to my checklist for closing the camper for the weekend.

    Sulfur smell from hot water

    We leave our camper year round at one campground as seasonal camper. This is the first year we've done this. I leave the water in the hot water tank, but turn off the heater. When we go back up for a weekend, the water from the hot water heater smells like sulfur. Anyone know why this is and...

    Best way to get stickers off ?

    Mine pulled off without a problem. A little residue was left behind, but some Goof Off got it off. I also wish the dealer would have taken these off.

    First trip with 3300RLB

    Opened the camper this weekend for the beginning of our season at Silver Lake, MI. We absolutely loved the Sundance. Only a couple issues, which I resolved. The connections to the water heater were loose and the bottom of the shower glass needed to be re-caulked. It leaked all over the bathroom...

    seasonal camping

    This is my first full year as a seasonal. Did half the season last year. I asked a Heartland factory rep at the Detroit camper show I bought my Sundance at. He said there is no harm in leaving the slides out, as far as the structure is concerned. He recommended bringing them in then out about...

    Electric blankets???

    My Rockwood Roo hybrid had heated mattresses on the pop out ends. They were great. Got a new electric blanket for Christmas, so the old one is going in the Sundance.

    Yeah really, what is "it"? :confused: Don't keep us in suspense. Oh, and welcome to the Heartland family. :D

    Chassis Corrosion on a new 2009 Sundance 2900MK

    Jim, Read the instruction for POR-15 carefully. It only bonds to rust so you don't want to remove the existing rust. If the metal is rust-free, you need to use a POR-15 product called Metal Ready. It causes the metal to oxidize. If you don’t, the POR-15 paint won’t adhere to the metal and will...
