I have the 287XLT 30 5th wheel and differences I notice is no marble counter tops and less cabinets and drawers. I do wish we had the bedroom slide but that is the only thing I miss. I like not having to work my truck so hard on long hills and when I want to pass someone... I do

I have a 2008 F250 Power Stroke Diesel crew cab with a short box and have a slider hitch installed. I really don't need the slider but it is good piece of mind. I pull a 30 ' 5th wheel which tips the scales at 9200 pounds. I also pull a 600 pound one wheel cart and a Goldwing is strapped...

NAPA was the ticket.... Thanks for saving me the time of looking around.

Thanks for all the advise... I think this spring I will give it shot with bondo and paint. If I am not happy with the repair I'll take in to the pros.

They do have the four wheel cart like you are thinking. They actually designed them for the Smart car.

Yes, I am very happy with the set up and it is much cheaper than a toy hauler. The cart does not seem to add any bad manners to the trailering. I do notice it is back there with the bike because it will take longer for the back of the trailer to come in line if you sway the trailer. We came...

During our last camping trip I encounterd an off camber sharp turn and hit the corner front driver side of the 5th wheel against the corner of the truck. Lucky for me very little damage was done but I would still like to repair the corner. Anyone have a fix that would make it look new again... I...

Thanks Don, I did not think about that I could just swap it from the screw without completely removing the base. Thanks for the suggestion. Jay

Our trailer is no longer under warranty. Would the factory and/or dealer cover the cost of this repair?

Thanks for the response. Does that antenna use a 3 screw mounting system?

Thanks for your input Pat and John. Unfortunately we don't have a cabinet there to hide the plate. Glad to hear it worked for you. Still have not received an answer back from the factory.

We just came back from a wonderful camping weekend but had no radio reception. We looked at the antenna and saw we lost our antenna. It looks as though it snapped off somehow. Does any one know where we can purchase a replacement radio antenna? We would prefer one that is not plastic so it can...

We own a 2010 Sundance 287RL. While facing the electric awning of our trailer, the top two screws pulled out of the right exterior awning bracket. After reviewing the problem I saw there is nothing for these screws to bite into except the fiberglass, which is not strong enough. We have only...

The size of the cart is 4'x8'. It was made by Crystal Welding in Minnesota. The two wheel swivel can hold 3,000 lbs . I liked this set up for an extra safety benefit if a tire goes flat. I am very happy with the work Crystal welding did on the cart and the hitch set up. The hitch work on the...

I am happy to say between the Heartland Factory and Noble RV in MN (where we purchased our trailer) we picked up our trailer having no out of pocket expenses for the work performed. One of the major reasons we purchased the Sundance was the dealer's commitment to us that they stand behind their...

I have had two problems with my trailer since the day I received it from the dealer. The two windows in 287rl slide out have worked extremely hard and the radio has only received a couple of stations. It really didn't bother me until we started camping with larger groups and we started...

I have the 2008 F250 with tow command. I have pulled many trailers and different braking controllers and the Ford Tow Command is by far the Best system out there.

I can tell I lightened the hitch weight going down the highway with GW on the back. The truck does feel a little bouncer. I have been debating about building a rack to carry the ramp under the front of the trailer to move the weight up front. The ramps are about a 100#. Do you have pictures...

Tom, I just got it set up and have not taken the trailer and cart anywhere yet. My first trip is planned to Wingding in Des Moines. My total length is about 56 feet so I am not expecting to have any problems with length and it is considered a ridged mount. I don't expect to have problems...

Thanks for the tips and the sight for the straps.

Hi Ray, I carry the ramp in the back of the pickup for now. Your guess was right on the money with the adapter!

I moved the tied down brackets on the cart so I could strap the Goldwing down in the recommended spots on the frame. I loaded the Goldwing on the cart and took the whole works for a ride down the highway up to 70mph. Everything was steady and predictable. I won't normally drive that fast. I...

Thanks for the tip. It's great information; I know one screw hit something solid, but I'll have to do something then for the rest.

Lori wanted more room for doing dishing so here is my attempt at giving her more room with a fold down shelf. I admit I am not a wood worker. I used a maple board my Dad had laying around in his garage and used the router to put on a finished edge. I used Maple stain and it is not an exact...

Re: Cart for XLT 287 with added pictures When I get it set up I'll take more pictures.... I have not been on the computer lately... Sorry for the late reply.

Cart for XLT 287 with added pictures Just had the hitch installed on the Sundance trailer by a Crystal Welding and tried the cart going down the highway with the four wheeler loaded. I took the steering wheel and shifted it side to side at 65mph and I could tell there was more weight behind...

I had a couple of interstates where the chucking is pronounced. Most places its fine.

I would recommend the pryro and the turbo boost gage. I had those on my Excursion diesel and felt they gave me the most information.

I replaced the lippert pin box on my 287RL XLT with the MOR/RYDE. The original cover will not fit now. I have asked the Dealer if there is another cover that will fit with the MOR/RYDE and they did not have an answer. I like the finished look of having the cover and I hope there is a...

I replaced my original Lippert Pin Box with the Mor/Ryde pin box. The original cover that came on my Sundance no longer fits. Does anyone know of another cover that will fit. We have the Sundance 287RL XLT. We are looking forward to checking out the new Mor/Ryde but are disappointed the...

Dave, They are giving me two options for the Lippert 1621 pin box. Would it be the long style or the SHD long style? Thank you for your help again... Jay Ross

Brad, Thank you. We are really looking forward to taking our trailer camping this year. Jay Ross

I would like to purchase a Mor/Ryde pin box for my 287RL XLT. I can not find any numbers that match what Mor/Ryde is looking for to cross reference. The numbers I did find are the VIN and Lippert 019- 000084671. I also found 177288. Please let me know what Lippert model number I have...

Last July we purchased a 2010 287RL XLT. By looking at the late model year changes I see the 287 XLT now comes with a matching counter top extension. How do I go about getting one for our current trailer? We have the merlot interior color scheme. I have always felt the trailer needed more...

That is a very good point. I will have to do that when the trailer comes out next year. I have it winterized and put away now. It would be hard for me to get at it. I do have some clear tubing that would work very well for your idea. Thank you

I really like what you have done there.... I had better not let the wife see that one. I don't have your skill level with the wood shelving.

Just came back from Noble RV. They turned me around in 40 minutes and had my city water check valve replaced. The reason I could not find the inline check valve is because it is built into the connection. He showed me the disk and spring that went bad inside. It was nice to see how it...

Thanks for the great pictures!! They really help. I have a plug now. I have just never had this problem before and this is my 8th new trailer. This is my first 5th wheel and really like pulling this much better. I may ask the dealer how much an upgrade to a brass check valve will be and pay...

I ran my hand back around to the beginning of the inlet but could not find the check valve to replace it. I have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow. We are predicted to have four inches of snow tomorrow so I guess she won't be clean when I put it away in the shed after it is fixed!

I live in Minnesota and went to winterize the Sundance for the first time with the "Pink Stuff". I got both covers off and switched all the valves. I turned the pump on and went to the kitchen faucet and received nothing. I could hear the pump running and the sound of water running outside...
