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...

Hi, Found out today that Ray's RV in Sacramento (not the dealer that I purchased from but one I have used quite a bit with previous rig), is closing their Service Department for at least 30 days perhaps more. I had went in there today to drop off my Coby Home Theatre system to be replaced and...

Hey, I went to Ray's RV in Sacramento today to drop off my Coby unit and was told that they couldn't help me because their Service Department was closing as of next Monday for at least 30 days and perhaps longer due to the bad economic times. They have already closed two of their three...

I called customer service and they referred me to Ray's RV (Sacramento area) as they are the closest to me. My dealer is 3 1/2 hours away. I had dealt with Ray's previously as I had bought a used TT in 07 from them. They were always great to deal with. However, they have downsized big time due...

Ok, at least I know I am not alone. we bought our 2008 Sundance 2800RLS in September and it has the Coby in it. On our trip last weekend, we played 2 movies and both skipped. Tried them at home and they were fine. I have to agree that this Coby unit is very cheap. Just as bad as the Concertone...

Hi Kyle, This is a great forum and you will learn alot by hanging around. We bought a Sundance this past September and love it! Just got it back from the dealer for some relatively minor warranty work, and now had to put it to bed for the winter! :(

I purchased my 2008 Sundance 193 miles from my home in September. Now I have some warranty work that needs to be done, and not wanting to drive all the way down to my purchasing dealer (which I know is always preferred), I called two local dealers that sell Heartland products (Ray's RV in...

Hello, Well, after taking one trip last month in our new 2800RLS, we had not found anything worthy of warranty work yet. However, yesterday I brought the fiver home to get ready for our weekend trip next week, and we had our first heavy rain of the season last night. I went in to check it this...

Ok, picked up the trailer today. Definately no radio antenna on the roof. So, I will have to attach the one to the back of the stereo and perhaps hang it on the wall behind the TV. Still mystifies me that Heartland would leave this off before the 2009 models.

Thanks for the picture wagenman, I think I would have noticed that. However, I will look again when I pick it up tomorrow. I like the idea of running it up behind the TV and hooking it to the wall. That would be an easy fix. It is not a huge priority as we don't listen to the radio much, but...

Ours came off somewhere between Michigan and Seattle. DH brushed some trees during a detour. Make sure it is tightened up. I wonder if mine was just not there in the first place? If it had been there, I would have noticed it. When I pick it up on Friday, I will look again.

Thanks Mike I am picking up my trailer on Friday to get ready for a trip. I will get up on the roof and look again to see if I see something.

Lee and Linda, Well, we were landowners in Crossville up until last January. Had to sell for economic reasons. We are native Californians but have friends in Crossville and have fallen in love with living on the plateau. Hopefully within another 10 years or so, we will make the plunge and move...

Jack, Welcome also. We bought our Sundance 2800RLS two weeks ago. We love the floorplan. So far no problems, although aren't taking it out for its first shake-down trip until the middle of October. Can't wait!

Hi Ireland92834 We just bought our new Sundance 2800RLS at Visalia RV two weekends ago. We live up north in Elk Grove (South of Sacramento). The reason we bought in Visalia is that they had the floorplan we were looking for. Did everything through the mail. I traded a travel trailer in. Didn't...

Hello, We just took delivery of our 2008 (new) 2800RLS two weekends ago. One of the things I noticed is that I get hardly any radio reception when I turn on the unit. The DVD functions fine. I noticed that there is no radio antenna on the roof. Both of my previous TT's had radio antenna's...

Thanks all for your responses. I have a can of Lithium grease that I used on my TT. I might go ahead and spray a little on the king pin when I hook up. Can't hurt other than be greasy.

Cool! That is what I was hoping for. Thanks!

Hey Everyone, We have the free standing dinette with our Sundance 2800RLS. My wife wants me to un anchor it from the floor so it can be moved (Her justification is that if we have several people in our rig playing cards or something, it will be easier to get more people around it if we can...

Hey Everyone, I bought a teflon pad that went up on my kingpin so I don't have to grease the saddle. People I talked to said that it works great. Have pulled with it once so far, and it did work good. I have a question though. What about the Kingpin. Do I have to grease it? Or just leave it...

WOW! Great responses! Thanks everyone. This gives me what I need. Now, one more question. I bought a teflon pad to go over my kingpin so I don't have to grease the saddle. Pulled the rig the other day with it on and worked great. What about the King Pin? Do you grease it? Or leave it alone...

Hello everyone I am new to fifth wheels and new to this forum. Two Saturdays ago we took delivery of our brand new (2008) 2800RLS. So far we love it. We are taking it on its first shakedown cruise in October. I have a question about the breakaway cable. During my PDI the guy at the dealership...

Made the Plunge! Friday we put a deposit down on a 2008 (new) Sundance 2800RLS. We are trading in our 05 Rockwood TT. Can hardly wait to get it in a couple of weeks!
