Founding VA Chap Ldr (Ret)
We're Sundance owners. Here's our list of Pros & Cons:
Pros: Light, but sturdy; tows easily behind a 3/4/Ton; nice floorplans; nice price point; nice interior touches - solid suface countertop, etc
Cons: Light, feel movement a little more than heavier rigs; less storage than a bigger rig; fewer high end options
Overall: We like it and it's great for weekend/short term camping. I wouldn't full-time in it however.

I have a Sundance 285BH. I like it lots. It's our first 5er, not our first trailer. Pulls easily with our F250. First season and no problems aside from a leaky shower. I recaulked and no more leak. It's seems much better built than other trailers in the same price point. I know the movement when parked was pretty bad. I installed JT's and its rock solid. I would suggest that Heartland install this type of bracing from the factory as standard. I would today, knowing what i know, order a new trailer and jts or the like at the same time...

We bought the 3600RLB late last winter and have really enjoyed it with virtually no problems. It has more luxury features for its price point than any other trailer out there, and this is our first Heartland trailer, but definitely won't be our last. Going from a 31' other brand 5'er to this 36' we noticed very little difference in the way that the trailer pulls down the road, it is very comfortably controlled by my 3/4 ton. We had an issue with the finish on the outer wall when we picked up the trailer, but Heartland immediately authorized the repair and the dealer looked after us 100%. Very satisfied with the whole process. I would recommend finding a dealer that you are really comfortable with the will look after you. Happy trailer shopping!

We "half-time" in our Sundance 2800 and are very comfortable. We downsized from a Big Horn and enjoy the ease of pulling/parking the somewhat smaller trailer. The Heartlansa are the best rigs we have ever owned.
If you place an order for your RV, yes, you can opt for the manual awning. Even if the electric awning is a forced option - you can usually get the factory to substitute the manual one.
The digital thermostat would be something you or your dealer can do - but the factory does not offer it for Sundance.

Treked down to the Hershey show. Spent a lot of time going over the Sundance's, talked with the factory rep quite a bit, salesman. Made a decision which model # 3200 RE. Sat down with sale people picked all the options,etc. came up with a great price $$ went over what we are trading. Gave us a price for the trade, Thats when we got a slap in the face. Dealer wanted us to give away the trade. Showed them what we were offered at a local dealer for a Jayco, then it seams like all talks ended, sales peoples attitude did a big turn around . Needless we did not purchase a Sundance. Back to the local dealers.
