    2011 Cyclone 3010 Water Heater Shutoff Valves

    Yes. It’s the panel inside the pass through. There are two valves to shut on the inlet and outlet of the water heater. There is a bypass valve after both valves, that has to be opened in order to go around the water heater. You also do this to winterize the camper. You don’t want to get the...

    2011 Cyclone 3010 Water Heater Shutoff Valves

    We have a 2012 3010. You have to pull the panel on that side to access it. There’s 4 screws and it will pull off. There are two in the front and two on the panel split. I ended up putting a marine access port on that panel, in the area to reach the shut off and bypass valves. It’s like the ones...

    4006 Garage Roof Vent

    Our 3010 has a thermostat that controls the garage fan. I wish it had one like the main living area has. Works much better. Took us a while to figure out how the one in the garage actually worked. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Three Suspension Upgrades

    We went with the Roadmaster tandem axle leaf spring kit on our 2012 Cyclone 3010HD toy hauler. It originally had the 7000# axles under it and upgraded to the 8000# axles and leaf springs. We already had the hydraulic brake upgrade on the original axles, so just had to get the brackets to fit the...

    Onboard Generator Exhaust exit location

    After thinking about it a little more, ours actually comes out underneath the cargo door, which is off to the right side of the bedroom pushout. The exhaust doesn’t actually come out directly under the slide, but decided it was still too close to the slide, to sleep over while running. The...

    Our 3010 Modifications

    It is stock with the Lippert Equa-Flex. I went to their site, but still wasn’t sure which one to order. Looks pretty simple to install. Just want to be sure to get the right ones. Going to order 3 for each shackle point. Thanks for your reply. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Onboard Generator Exhaust exit location

    Ours comes out under the bedroom slide from the factory. We bought the Camco Gen-turi generator exhaust extender. It puts the exhaust up and over the roof, to get it away from the living space. I did have to get the extender for the Gen-turi to clear the roofline. Works great. It also helps...

    Onan 5500 Problems

    Ours was doing this. I ran a good dose of Seafoam through the generator and cleared it up. I also add Stabil in every fill up. Between the two, seems to have cured the problem for now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Going through brakes - maybe even a world record

    That is not normal. Both of my two different Chevy HD’s truck brakes lasted well over 100,000 miles. The 2007.5 had 140,000 miles on them when I changed them. Haven’t changed them yet on the 2015 dually with 108,000 miles. The 2007.5 had several miles left on them. It pulled a 3010 Cyclone with...

    I’d contact Curt about it. Personally, it wouldn’t be enough margin for me to be comfortable with. Our toy hauler is rated 15,500#. With it loaded with two bikes, tools, personal things and some water in the fresh tanks, we weighed and found that we were almost 3000# overloaded. Sent from my...

    water found in pot drawer under refrigerator

    water found in pot drawer under refrigerator

    That was where it was coming in on ours. I also sealed the vent frame on the outside, around the edge of it. There is a break in the gutter right above it, that directs the water down onto the vent itself. I also sealed it good, to stop the stream coming down from it. We haven’t had any leaks...

    water found in pot drawer under refrigerator

    We had the same problem on ours. Checked and adjusted the refrigerator drain line and water lines to the sink. Ended up being the vent on the refrigerator on the outside. The water, during a rain storm, was running down the side of the camper. It was hitting the top of the vent and then running...

    We've had slide toppers on both the bedroom and living room since before we pulled it off of the lot. It's a 2012 3010. Maybe they have changed the framing since we bought ours. Ours was installed at Lakeshore RV. They have worked great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Dually v.s. Single rear wheel for towing stability.

    I have to agree totally with you. We've pulled our 3010 all over the US through major grades and passes as well as smaller secondary roads. Have the turbo brake on the truck that helps a bunch. The only thing I really want to do is convert to disc brakes on the Cyclone. I personally think they...

    How many miles on your tow vehicle

    Had the same problem off and on for three years or so. Did the same by replacing the turbo vane sensor. Also replaced the MAP sensor twice, MAF once. So far, what solved it was to put electrolytic grease on the MAP sensor plug. Threw a code on the transmission while towing once. Fortunately I...

    F250 Regen

    For some reason that I don't know, they work fine on the gasoline motors. The oiled filters don't work at all for the diesels especially if they are over oiled. Most, if they keep the K&N style filters, they go to the dry washable filters instead. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    F250 Regen

    Dry K&N or other brand filters are recommended for the diesels. The oil on the oiled filters have been documented to settle on the MAF sensors and cause false readings to be sent to the ECM. They work good on gasoline motors, but for some reason it causes problems with the diesels. I would buy...
