    I Can't Believe It

    That is exactly the situation that provoked me to change our tank flush connection to a male fitting. I now carry a "flush" hose with double female ends strictly for flushing.

    Cyclone 3612 water lines freezing at -4C

    Ours did the same last spring. These really do not have a insulated underbelly, unless you consider the "tentest" material as insulation. If you drop that material down a bit, you will see the issue. The water lines are hanging, exposed just above it with a 2" hole bored into the heat duct...

    Lino Split over the winter in Alberta in my Bighorn

    Noobee I feel yout pain. Our Cyclone flooring has also cracked over the course of the winter. Does anyone know where I could attain a new piece and attempt to lay a patch?

    12 volt plug

    You can pick up kits at any auto supply store or if you prefer the style that also includes the TV hookup, those are readily available at any RV parts store. They are extremely handy when dry camping, and are quite simple to install. I have added multiple to our Cyclone.

    soap for Splendid washer drier combo?

    Avoid the HE liquid if you can. Using the HE powder will keep your machine from eventually giving off some foul odors - so we have found

    2011 Cyclone 3950 HD Roof Vents

    Our 2011 3950 has 2 roof vents near the rear. The very rear one is above the electric beds in the garage. The next one is between the 2 loft beds. There is no roof vent required for the garage refrigerator as they are not powered by propane - electric only.

    Satellite Connection Problems

    I believe one of the coax cables is normally run to the roof for future satellite dish.

    towing gas mileage

    I was a little disappointed with our mileage last weekend @ 10.5 Today I glanced under the front of the trailer to see the underbelly had fallen in the center - creating what Im sure would be some nasty wind drag.

    Heating question

    We have minimal airflow from the garage vent. Likely due to the 30 foot distance from the furnace. We generally rely on electric heat in garage if required. Nature of the beast Im afraid.

    Stove Burner cover?

    The first thing we did once we got our Cyclone home was excavate that fugly cover. If you were not so far away...I would run it over to you!

    Gas/electric DSI water heater?

    Heater will operate on either 110V or propane or both. DSI is Direct Spark Ignition....so you are not required to stand outside with a box of matches - simply flip the switch inside the coach.

    Our 3950 has the new tanks. Good to the last drop!

    Awning hanging up

    Both awnings on our Cyclone do this as well. Fortunately, I am just tall enough to reach the roller from the door and give it a push. It will occasionally roll out on its own...although I don't remember the last time it didn't need help.

    AC while traveling

    Fortunately...or sometimes unfortunately, we never get that extreme sort of heat like you must in Sunny Florida! They cool off inside quite quickly here so Ive never considered pre-cooling it. We would be more likely to pre-heat! That could be an issue while towing though

    AC while traveling

    Congrats on the new unit! The AC does not operate on propane...AC power only I suppose, provided you have a built in generator, you could leave that running while travelling to power the AC. I've never tried it, but should work??
