Thanks to everyone for your input. This forum and it's members are fantastic! I have received great help in the past but have now traded in my Sundance for a Open Range 337RLS 5'R. The wife and I have really enjoyed the Sundance it was a great unit. The biggest reason for the change was the...

John, Great idea!!!! I'm going to check the TV booster. I rarely turn it off, perhaps that has been the problem all along.

Thanks Lynn, That's good advice. I'll do the google search. Next week we will be doing some dry camping and I'll be using my portable generator. The hum has always been while hooked up at a public campground so now I'll be able to see if the hum is present while using the portable. Thanks again.

I have a Jensen AWM 970 in my entertainment center that has a very loud humming sound when connected to shore power. This sound is only present when the radio is turned on and happens on both AM and FM. The television is not affected, just the radio. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for the input. That's a good idea regarding the google search.:o

Is there a way to combine terms to search for exactly what your looking for. Example, I wanted to see if anyone had an opinion on using a stand-alone battery charger to charge R.V. batteries. I used "---" signs around both words in my query, also + sign between the words. Nothing works. I have...

Really sorry to hear of your problem. I had a similar situation to my 2900MK. I was washing it when I noticed a gap in the rear between the side and the back end. Inside it was easy to see that the rear had pulled away because I could see daylight through the gap. Upon closer inspection I saw...

Thank you.

Made a mistake on my post and wish to edit it. I cannot find a way to do an edit? Any help? thanks

Continuing on with this project, initially my intention was to eventually install a small 200-300w solar system. At the moment I am going to install 2 6V deep cycle batteries in series. I only need this much power because I'll not be camping for more than a week at the most. I'll be charging...

Is there a thread somewhere with a walk thru on how to attach pictures to a posting? I have a question and realize that a picture is worth a thousand words. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Thank you, will do.

Thank you.

Thank you, that diagram helps alot. I'm still a little confused about the wiring to the cutoff switch though.

I believe I'm going to purchase two Crown 6 volt 235 AH golf cart batteries to replace my one Interstate group 24 deep cell marine battery. I understand that they should be connected in series. I'm not very quick regarding electricity and am hoping someone can walk me through the process...

Have been thinking of installing solar on my 2900 MK Sundance fiver. The system wouldn't have to be very large as I would not be boondocking for long periods of time, maybe a week at a time. Would a 200W-300W system be adequate for a hair dryer for the wife, occasional lap top use and 32" TV...

Thank you.

Just curious, How long do you think you could go on the 2-12v without solar? The reason I ask is because I currently have 1-12v battery with no solar and can only go for 1 night before the fridge check light comes on. I then have to use my 2000watt portable to recharge my trailer. When I do this...

Thank you for the input, currently I have only one 12V battery. Do you boondock now with 2 12's or the 2 Trojan 6 volt golf cart batteries? I will certainly look at your mods.

Thanks for the speedy reply, I'm really not sure as to the age of the battery. But is was tested last week and I was told it is good. Regarding the LED bulbs, I just got off the phone of a RV parts dealer and he quoted $50.00 for 10. OUCH!! Went to Amazon and saw 10 for a little over @10.00...

I have a 2011 Sundance 2900MK fiver and have been very disappointed with the short power life of the installed Interstate Group 24 deep cell battery. With just a few inside lights turned on including the fridge I am running out of power overnight. I checked to see what the amp discharge rate was...

No, I wasn't using an inverter. I was just connected to a 2000W portable generator.

Thanks so much!!!!!! That video was very informative. I currently have a battery quick disconnect which is used when I store the trailer. When this is in use, I can have the trailer stored for many weeks and still have a full charge. I'm not sure what accessories are in use in the background...

Regarding the size of the spark, assuming I see one, is there a meter of some sort that will allow me to determine the size of the draw?

Thanks GregP, I agree, I used to get 3-4 nights on one battery although that was on a smaller 5th wheel. Currently I have a 2011 Sundance 2900MK 5th wheel. The fridge is either Gas or Propane. When connected to my portable generator all lights indicate "C" charging. After 2hrs on the generator...

Thanks, I was not aware of this reset breaker. I will check it. After charging, the monitor indicated full charge.

Just returned from a short three night get away and was disappointed to find my battery went from what I assumed was a full charge to discharged overnight. I only had a few inside ( two- three ) lights on for a very short period of time, the fridge was on propane, no radio, TV, signal amplifier...

Thanks everyone.

Thank you, so does that mean the vent serves as the overflow?

Have a 2011 Sundance 2900MK 5th wheel and can't find the overflow tube. I see the high and low point drains under the belly but no over flow. Anyone have suggestions?

Thank you, The pump switch light turns red only if I push it to turn it on. If I push again it goes off. I will try to get to the pump when we get home. Right now we're on hook ups so no problem. Thanks again for directing me to the right location. Ken

The pump red light is on in the in the small panel showing all the levels etc. The fuse/circuit breaker box shows no bad fuses. The pump does not go on. no sound,no water. I'd like to check to see if there is an inline fuse but can't find the pump. Does anyone know where it is? Thanks

Have a 2011 Sundance 2900MK. After removing the bedroom escape window screen, I cannot figure out how to reinstall it. The frame has no grooves snaps or clips to secure the screen. Not only that but the screen itself seems to be impossible to push back in place. Even if I could there is no way...

Thanks!! That's the same truck that I have. Does the key go accessory or run position?

Thank you but shouldn't I be able to have 12vdc with the trailer connected to the truck without running the engine or turning the key on?

Hello, Recently purchased a new to me F-350 to tow my Sundance 2900MK. I have noted that when I connect the truck to the trailer There is no power to the trailer unless the trucks engine is running. This was not the case with my older truck. With that truck, when the power harness was connected...

BigJim, Thanks very much for the diagram it is very helpful. I'll use a test light on the ground and brake terminal. If OK, then to the trailer.

Was in a hurry and pulled away from my trailer with the 7 way connector attached to the bed of my pick up!! The power cord disconnected from the truck and looks stretched at the electrical box under the pin box. I opened the front plate and did not see any broken connections. But now have no...

Thanks very much, Haven' had any luck so far. Leaving for a few days to be on the coast in the rig. I certainly will try this approach. Hope it works.

Hi, Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum but couldn't find a "general discussion" area. When typing a thread, The "Auto Saved" message keeps popping up and freezes my keyboard. I am not a touch typist. Matter of I'm a hunt and peck type. Is there any way to disable this feature? Thank you
