    Does anyone know were I can find the wiring junction box on a Sundance 5th wheel? Thinking about tieing into that and running new wire to the rear.

    Problem with front leg extender

    The "pin" I'm talking about is the one that is inside the leg extender but, in the storage compartment. I gues it can break if the leg extenders travel to far up. I did remove the bolt that passes through the drive shaft from the motor side to the non motor side and it was not broken or...

    Waxing

    It took me 2 days to wax my Sundance 2998RB. Also, I waxed the decals. It would take to much time to not wax the decals. I used Maguire Marine wax with a Porter Cable orbitor. It still took me 9 hours. Next time I'm going to find scafolding. Good Luck
