http://www.autoweek.com/article/20130109/CARNEWS/130109870 I'll be looking for a new truck this year and the new Ram looks promising. (thinking either Ram or Ford) Ram link http://www.ramtrucks.com/en/2013/reveals/ram_hd_cc/build/hd/#

He was a non Heartland member but a true car guy that will be missed. http://msn.foxsports.com/motor/story/Carroll-Shelby-dies-race-car-designer-cobra-age-89-051112/

AutoGeek has Finish Kare 425 Detailer for $29 a Gallon with free shipping. (use promo code "FREESHIP") Great for the outside surface of your RV. Wash your car or RV then spray this on before you dry. This is just as good or better than the stuff Camping World sells for $79...

We resently moved from Texas to Idaho and registered our vehicles and our 2009 Sundance XLT 5th wheel. The DMV determined value of the Sundance at $22,000 by the low NADA book value, but how can that be? We have a bill of sale for the brand new rig at $21,000. Idaho makes you pay the license...

Just a few days left to get $100 off an AirLift rear lift systems. http://www.airliftcompany.com/air-lift-company-100-rebate

Aways thought there should be a 'low' 2 wheel rear drive option on the Ford 4x4s. A 2 WD low gear makes it so easy to back our RV's in tight spots and up steep grades. The front hubs use a relay to direct vaccum to engage the front drive. I installed a switch in series with the (yellow/gray)...

I wonder why our RV suspensions don't have Bump Stops to protect the leaf springs from bending to far and cause possible breakage? Most trucks and autos have them. For $10 each and a few hours labor it's low cost insurance in my view. (I still have to weld them in)

The factory pump seemed lacking for our dry camping needs. The stocker pump was loud, the pressure was low and not constant. We decided to replace our 'Shurflo 2088' with the new direct replacement 'Shurflo Revolution 4008'. (Amazon.com $85). So far we are very please with the change :D, easy...

I know some of you guys have installed the Hunter mod 42999 thermostat. I bought one and now atempting to wire it up. I have six wires to hook up and only 4-5 connections on the new thermostat and i'm not sure of the correct hookup. My old stat had this configuration- 7.5=red, cool=yel, fur=wht...

We will be headed to the Mount Rushmore area in a month or so. Are there any RV parks you guys would reccomend or any to avoid? Thanks

We plan on moving up in the mountians so another 4x4 is needed. My flawless Ram needs a new home. Most people never knew Dodge made a truck like this. Fastest and most powerful production truck made but you can't tow with it. 0-60 in 5 seconds, 160mph top speed. Over $7000 in upgrades. asking...

We felt the front door glass was a weak point on our Sundance for a few reasons. 1) It's very thin and has little insulating properties. 2) It allows unwanted light/glare in the unit. (we had home made shade but). 3) It's so easy for thiefs to break the brittle thin glass then reach in and...

It appears the heaver rated wheel-tire upgrade i made has made things bounce around somewhat inside our 5th wheel. I'm hoping adding stocks will calm things down a bit. Found 4 Monroe Gas shocks at Rockauto.com for $60 shipped so this mod didnt break the bank. I did have to weld a upper...

We went on a trip during the holidays and had our 12 volt converter go out on us. You know the routine: contact Heartland, then local authorized dealer, then the closes RV repair/suppliers, then on-line suppliers. Thus mentioned you know the stress. It was Christmas time and most facilities were...

There seem to be a few common issues that could be addressed on our new Sundances. I believe correcting these areas will signifcantly improve your RVing travels. 1. Mark front landing gear jacks just shy of the maximum extension and mininum retraction limits. Passing these limits is easy to do...

Took ' Lefty's' advise and replaced the living/dining room ceiling lights with fluorescents. The 18" double fixture seems like the way to go. The 18" light seems to be about 50% brighter and easier on your eyes compaired to the factory incandescents...

Our Sundance unit requires the forced air heating be used to keep the storage tanks and piping from freezing. The forced air heating ducts actually keep the underbelly from freezing. So, when you are paying for electricity at your spot, why wouldn't you heat your RV with an electric heater...

Headed out tomorrow for a short trip to Ute Lake NM and i'm checking things out to find: I have my shore power 120 ac connected and everything works, but when I disconnect my battery (disconnect switch) I have no 120ac power or 12 volt power. Basically nothing works with the AC plugged in and...

2008 model PowerMax XP 4400watt peak, 3500watt constant. This generator has approx. 8 hours use on it and starts up with one or two pulls. Runs great and powered our 31' RV with the AC on plus more devises. I lowered the stock wheel kit 2" to fit under my truck bed with the cover closed. Height...

Last spring we had our water hose freeze a few times, we are planing to travel this winter so i figure its time to prepare. I could only find a few heated hoses online and the prices ranged from $100-$1000. This one seemed like a deal for $103 (retails $150), its 40' long and made of a quality...

I found it almost impossible to fill the fresh water tank while dry camping because the filler hole is so high up in the corner of the docking station. I tried using a funnel but couldnt get any slope so the water went everywhere. This platform make it easy to hold the 6 gallon jug up while...

Got tired of lifting the generator in + out of the storage compartment to use it. I re-used the square U-bolts from the factory bumper spare tire holder along with about 7' of 2 "x 2" x 3/16" angle iron to fab the support. Sticks out about 10" from the ladder but i can live with it.

Took me over a month but i finally rounded up the wheel tire combo i wanted for my Sundance. I have needed to raise the 5er 3" to be level with my truck so this change got me there along with 1.25 axle blocks. I replaced the 15" Missions with... 16" wheels and Maxxis M8008 235/80/16 tires...

It seems our front bedroom isn't as cool as the rest of the unit so when we go to bed for the night I place these home made vent plugs on 2 of the rear ceiling outlets. This increases the airflow to the front aprox. 25%. I made the vent covers from foam packing material.

Made a removable bracket to hold the generator at the rear of the unit. This gen. support will only be used while parked during dry camping and overnites at a rest stop. I still store the gen. in the truck bed. Noted the AC makes more noise inside the unit than this low cost generator.

The Sundance is a great value, but the outside drains need to winterized. My dealer informed me my unit had the Polar package but i see a weak point in the system. I spent less than $100 to heat the outside piping. 1. Heat-On pipe tape 18' x 80 watts w/ auto thermostat on 38deg off 45deg 2...

We are on second day out with the new Sundance and the front electric landing jack stopped working. I checked for a blown fused or tripped breaker. There is no fuse or breaker labled Landing gear/ jack. I have no paper work or schematic for the electric jacks, looks like they are made by Domar.

I read some post stating how the gear casing breaking on the landing gear electric motor. I took a look at mine and saw that the motor is loose and could bounce around braking the gear housing. I used a 2 3/8" pipe fence post clamp and a foot of 2" strap. (HomeDepot)

I've had my Sundance just 3 weeks and have only found one problem. The Stereo turns on at random without touching it. It won't turn off by itself though. :confused: I seems to come back on between 4-16 hours after pushing the off knob.

I'm looking for 4 factory 16" alum. wheels for a 5200lbs axle/ 6 lug. I also have a new set of 15" wheels and new tires willing to trade.

I haven't pulled it out of the driveway yet! It arrived last Sat. and everything seems to work fine.
