    Pre wire for power vent?

    I have read all of the post about units being prewired for powered vents. I have seen reference to various colored wires. For my unit it appears that the prewire got dropped.:confused: When we ordered our 2009 2900 MK we had the fan-tastic vent installed in the bedroom. Now we want one in the...

    2nd Fan-tastic vent overkill ?

    Our Sundance has a Fan-tastic vent in the bedroom. It does a great job of moving air through and out of the the trailer. Our issue is with the manually opening vent over the kitchen area. It is difficult for me to reach the handle to open and not possible for my wife to reach at all. My...

    Water heater runs hot then cold

    tmcran, From back when I was a working stiff, we had predictive maintenance on our paper converters. Plotting the predictive failure rate of most items makes a curve the resembles a bath tub, meaning that most failures occur when the item is first used, or shortly after. If they make it...

    Installing a fireplace in Sundance (DIY)

    Brunomisty, Where did you get the fireplace and what are the specs if you don't mind. DW just 2 days ago said she wishes we had a fireplace in our Sundance. Maybe a dumb questio ...is it gas or electric?

    Adding batteries ?

    It looks like you added two additional batteries to the existing battery. I like the plumbing for the vents. Thanks for the ideas. Tom;)

    Adding batteries ?

    I did a search in this forum and found zip. I am looking for ideas to add 1 or more batteries. The drop down battery box in my coach makes adding a second or third battery a little more difficult. I am wondering what others have done. If anyone has gone the 6 volt route I would like to hear...

    Couple of Mods

    Sorry for the tardy reply, has been a very busy summer and I haven't been on line very much. Not sure, had it in my shop for a couple of years. Most likely Home Depot or our local lumber yard.

    Ever had a leak like this

    I am not familiar with your floor plan, but I am guessing that there is a gray water tank in this area, maybe even the black water tank. Could one of them or their pipe fittings be the source of your water? Tom:confused:

    how do you stop the leak in the shower?

    how do you stop the leak in the shower?

    "Panels are held to shower pan only by silicone caulk. Side channels are held by about 4 screws. Top frame is one piece and ties the three sections together. Doors and panels fit together in verticle groove which allows for adjustment of angle of the two panels." So if I understand this... the...

    how do you stop the leak in the shower?

    My shower has leaked from day 1. I have been fixing 1 leak at a time. I expect I will find more when I start using it again. I want to pull every thing apart and start out fresh. How did you guys get this all apart?

    slide out adjustment

    Any update to the issue I was wondering if there is any updates to the issue of the black coating being torn off as the slide moves in. My steetside slide is tearing the coating off. It is at the dealership right now and they aren't getting it. They are talking about "conditioning the seal"...

    Yellowstone Camping

    Hi all, We are starting to plan a trip to yellowstone. Our first thought was to leave from the Michigan Chapter rally the end of August. I looked a some info online and I see a lot of the campgrounds close mid September. So that might not be such a good idea. Anyone on this forum have any...

    Range Hoods?

    Hi, Not sure if this is the right forum for this. My question is in regards to our Jensen range hood. Is this the same company as the Jensen cd player etec? Our range hood has a small light, I was looking at the light to see why it was so dim when the cover fell. It landed in the oven...

    Are Sundances really under 12'

    I have a2900 MK and a 12 ft door. Now a 12 foot door does not have a 12 foot opening. But our unit fits under the door. The approach to the building, and the height of your truck has a lot to do with weather or not you will clear the opening. In my case the air conditioner is inside before...

    shower stall leaking

    pitch black Did you get your leak fixed yet? We are on an extended trip and ourS started to leak. It looks like we have 2 leaks. One is under the frame for the glass enclosure, the second seems to be coming out under the pan. I have tried re-caulking, but then every time I caulk, I have to...

    Mice keep getting in

    Jim, The product you gave me the link for is the type of thing I was thinking of using. I am convinced that they are walking right up the water hose and then into the basement. I may order one of those when I get back home form this trip. Until then, I'll keep the trap line going, and maybe...

    Mice keep getting in

    I have been bothered by mice 3 times this year so far. We have a 2009 Sundance with the docking station. I think they are climbing up the water hose and getting in to the basement area from there. I keep a trap set right next to the opening now. Caught one last night in Freeport Maine...

    Heartland sighting in Michigan

    Netem, Glad to hear you had a great trip. While our Sundance is in Michigan right now it would be hard to see inside the storage building. It will come out next week to get ready for a trip to Nova Scotia by way of Northeast Pa. The Michigan weather has been pretty good of late. Today was...

    2900MK Living Room Slide

    I guess I would try to open with the manual crank as a first step. If it opens Ok with the crank then I would assume the slide is not bound up somehow. Also if the slide goes out with the hand crank OK then I would start to look at the drive mechanism for a problem. I would start my having...

    any suggestions to either low flow or low water pressure

    Our bathroom sink has pretty low flow and the shower is OK. But I do notice with both of the 5ers we have owned that pressure and flow are better with the pump than with city water. You may want to put some water in the tank and try the pump. It might tell you if it is the problem is early in...

    Hot water for first few seconds of running the cold water in 3210 - ideas?

    I don't have a Cyclone, so I don't know the layout. Just thinking out loud with my keyboard. It is funny it is only the kitchen, not the other areas. If there is an outside shower and it is near the kitchen plumbing, the valves for the hot and cold might not be turned off, but the push button...

    Couple of Mods

    Netem, We expect to arrive home after 18 days on the road. One learning from this trip is that we need a table between our chairs. That will be the top priority project before the next outing. We are thinking a wedge shape top, at a height just below the side bolsters of the chair, might be...

    Refrigerator Temp

    Fill water tank? I am not sure about your coach, but with my Sundance filling the water tank will lower the pin weight about 50 lbs according to the factory. Not much but it helps. We try to load most of the heavy stuff behind the axles, when ever we can. The pantry is behind the axles so...
