2009 Heartland Sundance 2900RK – Rear Kitchen Elegance in a Half-Ton Towable Fifth Wheel
Heartland RV has built a solid reputation for combining residential comfort with towable convenience, and the 2009 Sundance 2900RK fifth wheel is a shining example. Designed for travelers seeking a balance between lightweight towing and luxury living, the 2900RK offers a surprisingly spacious layout thanks to its smart engineering, rear kitchen design, and slide-out living area. With features typically found in higher-end models and a thoughtful layout that feels like home, this fifth wheel is an exceptional value for couples or small families looking to hit the road in comfort and style.
The 2900RK is part of Heartland’s acclaimed Sundance line—known for its aerodynamic profiles, quality craftsmanship, and innovative floorplans. Tipping the scales at under 9,000 pounds (dry weight), this unit is ideal for short-bed or half-ton tow vehicles rated for fifth-wheel towing, offering full-size amenities in a compact and easy-to-handle frame.
One look at the exterior of the Sundance 2900RK reveals the attention to detail and durability built into every inch. The aerodynamic fiberglass front cap reduces wind drag and boosts fuel efficiency, while the laminated sidewalls provide a sleek, seamless look.

Heated and enclosed underbelly for extended-season camping
The wide stance, durable frame, and weather-resistant construction mean the Sundance is just as ready for weekend getaways as it is for long cross-country hauls.
The rear kitchen design is a highlight of the 2900RK floorplan. It provides ample counter space, abundant cabinetry, and separation from the living area, making meal prep a more enjoyable experience.
