    Roof trim strip coming loose

    Thanks for the replies. I inspected and touched up the caulk last summer, but had not been up there yet this summer. I won't be making that mistake again. Is there anything to be gained by taking the entire trim strip off across the top so I can do a better inspection/repair? Then, the...

    Roof trim strip coming loose

    I pulled out the cord to plug in my fiver and charge the batteries tonight and discovered, to my dismay, that the cord was wet. Long story short, the trim on the edge of the roof along the back of the coach is lifting in both corners, an eighth-inch or so. I can push it back in place by hand...

    Converter charging (mis)behavior

    branson4020 hit it on the head. I found that the converter is wired to the batteries through a garden variety 15A auto-reset breaker. That'll get fixed before next season...

    What's with the water pump?

    Still a newbie in the first year using my Sundance XLT. I'm still learning its idiosyncrasies; and one has me stumped. Every once in a while, the water pump will run for just a second then shut off, all on its own. I'm guessing that means it is slowly losing pressure, meaning I likely have a...

    Converter charging (mis)behavior

    Thanks for all the great tips. I don't have my multimeter with me at the moment, so I'll have to sleuth it some more when I get home. The batteries are new this spring. After the initial charge I measured them with a hydrometer and all cells were at spec. I also have a true battery monitor...

    Converter charging (mis)behavior

    Still in my first full season in my Sundance XLT, so I'm learning a lot. There is one thing I've noticed that puzzles me; hopefully some of the experts out there can chime in. I have the WFCO 8900 series converter and two GC batteries in series. I had the coach sitting at home, not plugged...

    New to this whole holding tank thing

    Thanks again for all the tips. I read the GEO method from the link ILH pointed me to; interesting stuff! I purchased some chemical when I bought the trailer, but have not used it yet. Is there anything to be gained by using some Calgon with the chemical, just to keep things from sticking to...

    New to this whole holding tank thing

    Thanks for all the tips! I forgot about the owner manuals on this site; I won't be making that mistake again! There's lots of good stuff in there... Now if winter would ever end...

    New to this whole holding tank thing

    The DW & I are anxious to begin a new season with our new (to us) Sundance XLT. Never having had a camper with holding tanks, I'm curious about a few things. (Forgive me if this has been asked a few thousand times; I searched but couldn't find an answer...) 1) Should I ALWAYS have some water...

    Propane valve position

    Ahhhh! I get it! I didn't recognize the indicator for what it was. Thanks for the explanation. Can I simply disconnect the empty tank to get it refilled while the other is still connected and open? That would seem to make sense...

    Propane valve position

    Still getting to know our Sundance XLT 245RL, and I have a question about the propane valve. We have two 30 lb. tanks with manual valve. The selector is currently pointing straight up (not at either tank), but all the gas appliances seem to work. Is that normal?

    Lake Superior Tour

    Where to start... We spend a LOT of time around Lake Superior; we've camped at nearly every state & provincial park all around the lake, and they're all good. We made the circle on our Goldwing a few years go. In addition to any and all of the suggestions from other's posts, we've found Ney...

    Cleaning products

    Hello all, New to RVing and new to this forum. We are the proud owners of a new (to us) Sundance XLT, and are wondering if we need any special cleaning products for the interior (stove, sinks, toilet, etc.) other than normal household cleaners. Any recommendations? Thanks! Brian

    Sundance SD XLT 245RL

    Hi campinfool, I'm new to the forum myself, but I am the proud owner of a 2009 XLT 245RL, purchased in late summer 2013. I haven't had the pleasure of taking it to Alaska yet like iaflatlander, but it's on the list. I tow mine with a 2011 F150, EcoBoost, with the max-tow package. The truck...
