I have a 2008 2800 RLS. When filling the fresh water tank to full, I experience water leaking up under the underbelly where the blue and red low point drains are (on the curb side just behind rear wheel). It leaks about 3 or 4 gallons and then stops. The fresh water fill is on the street side. I...

Thanks for your replies. I did go in and prep the toilet and turned on the pump. I noticed the water leaking after I did that. But that just means that the leak happened when water was pumped through the system. I will probably have to drop the under cover to find out where it is coming from...

Hi All, Last week when I filled my fresh water tank on my 2800RLS in preparation for going on a dry camping trip, I noticed water leaking up around the base of the blue and red hoses that come down on the door side of the rig just aft of the rear wheel. First, what are these blue and red...

The same thing happened on my Sundance 2800 RLS. It was on the first trip out and it rained. I found two similar cracks. I had my dealer replace the skylight (with Heartland's approval).

I too have a 2008 2800RLS and have had only a couple of minor problems. Hot water heater leaking outside, small crack in the skylight over the shower, a loose day/night shade, and of course, the Coby DVD player. In all cases, Heartland took care of the issues. All at the dealer except the Coby...

I originally bought at Visalia RV in Visalia, CA. They were ok. PDI was not as thorough as I would have liked. Then when they showed me how to hook up (5th wheel), they didn't say anything about lubing the hitch or using a lube plate. So when I got home (180 miles), I already had alot of...

I purchased a 2006 Chevy 2500HD Crew Cab, long bed with the 8.1 and Allison last year. It pulls my Sundance 2800RLS very well. I love the Allison tranny and the 8.1 never seems to lack power. It is thirsty though. I get about 8 mpg whether pulling or not. Are you buying used? The reason I ask is...

Got a chance to check out the RV show in Sacramento yesterday. Heartland was there represented by Bighorn and Big Country. The striking thing that I noticed was the quality difference in the Heartland Products versus the other manufacturers in the same price ranges. It reminded me of why I was...

Hang in there! I feel your pain! I have owned four RV's in the last 10 years and 2 out of 4 have had problems of some kind or another. It is just the state of the industry. From my experience though, so far Heartland has the other manufacturers beat when it comes to responsiveness in getting...

Pan Pacific RV is an official Heartland dealer now. They sell Sundance and two of the Toyhaulers. I just dropped my Sundance off at their service dept in Roseville and they couldn't have been nicer. This was insurance work to replace my ladder that I messed up, so I don't know if it would be...

I found out recently that Pan Pacific in Roseville (Northern CA) is now an authorized Heartland Dealer. They sell Sundance and the toy haulers. I just dropped my Sundance off to have my ladder replaced (I bumped into my neigbors house!). They seem really easy to work with. I was a previous...

Thanks everyone for your responses. It sounds like this is normal. My previous rig was a tt and it was flush when it was in. So maybe this is unique to fivers.

Hello, When my slide is in, on the inside of the rig, there is a 1-1 1/2" gap in the leading edge of the slide (higher) than the rest of the flooring in the rig. For example, you have to step up on the slide if you want to sit in the dinette. If you stand on it, it seems to give a little. So...

Well, my worst nightmare came true Yesterday. While backing my Sundance 2800RLS into my driveway, I clipped the corner eave and gutter of my neigbors house, breaking a roof tile and tweaking the gutter (60' gutter). I was lucky that the damage to my rig was only the ladder (bent up). I started...

My experience with Ray's concerning wanting to take my Sundance in for warranty work, is that with only two techs they were booked out over 6 weeks in advance. So I didn't feel like I got the brush off from them, just that they were overloaded with work. They said that even though they were...
