Hey Mike, To answer your questions, 1- I bought mine off of eBay. I know there is a bunch if them on there, but what I did to narrow down the search was, I searched for 50/50 RGB LEDs, waterproof and being that I have 32' of awning on our rig, I looked for two reels in the deal. 2- The reels...

I have the Tire Tracker TT400C and it works great. Monitors the air pressure and temp up to 22 tires. It's rechargeable so when I programmed it, I carried it with me to each tire. I have the Cyclone 3950, so I also bought the booster. Instead of keeping the booster powered all the time, I...

I know this sounds kinda "corny", but with little boys, they have a tendency to miss every now and then. Behind the toilet in the garage restroom, there is a piece of carpet that covers the heater vent. The wife wanted me to come up with something that could be easily cleaned and won't become...

The first time we got up and the sun was coming through the glass in the door, my wife said I had to come up with something. Here was my solution. Several of our camping friends has also done this and have been very pleased with the results. Not knowing what I was getting into, I took my time...

Cool - I'm glad you like them. I tell my wife that I'm a genius all the time, but she disagrees......lol When I did my lights, the end where the wiring is, I used a plastic cable strap (made for coax) and mounted it to one of awning mounting bolts. I then used some silicon and resealed the bolt...

Tumble Weed, if we didn't live so far apart, I would be more then happy to help you out on the install. It's really a simple installation, just time consuming. After reading this thread again, I would have never thought that a simple idea would get this much attention. I know for some that the...

Here is the thread where I installed them on our 3950 //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/32751-Added-New-Awning-LEDs?highlight=

We had a leak behind the shower and caused this same issue. It took the dealer a few hours to locate the problem and it's been dry ever since. I found the issue when I pulled off the campsite onto the road after spending the week of Thanksgiving in it and everyone taking showers in it that week...

Thanks. At first I thought I was going to have to take it to them, but after working with the HRV rep and showing him documentation that I had problems before the warranty was up, they are going to transport it. I'll take plenty of pics before and after to see if I can notice the changes. You...

We have a 2012 Cyclone 3950 HD. The front cap has already been replaced due to stress cracks and now the front seams are starting to open up. There is also a buckle in the flooring above the hitch area. This was brought up with the dealer before the warranty had ran out and after having several...

The wife and I went to an RV show recently and saw that some of the manufacturers are starting to put the LED awning lights in the awning tube. After seeing this, I really wanted to know how they powered them so you didn't have to plug and unplug them every time the awning went out. The way they...

Hello, I'm looking to order some slide toppers for our coach and after looking at the camper, I noticed that there isn't a track above the small bedroom slide like there is above the kitchen slide. Is this a track that Heartland may have forgotten to install or is this a standard practice to not...

Good point about the round rungs on the ladder. We have the 3950 and I'm already trying to figure out a way to replace it. I really think that they engineers that design these campers are not RVers. It looks good on paper, but doesn't work good or work efficient in the real world.

I had the dealer add the 3rd AC into our 3950 also. There was a fantastic fan there, but only 1 AC vent in the garage. Taking the easy way (and cheaper way), the tech ran a wire track over to the wall to a "T" where the power went toward the back and the thermostat went toward the front. I have...

Don't get me wrong, we love our 2012 Cyclone 3950 HD, however whoever designed it to where the electrical fuse panel/converter is located directly under the kitchen sink needs to go back and get a better education on common sense. So far, we've had two leaks at the sink area. One being a drain...

Y'all are cracking me up with the pimping comments. Too funny!! I have used my lights pretty regularly since they were installed and I have about a half a dozen LEDs that bleed over a different color when lit. I'm sure it's due to them being cheap China junk, but still very impressive. The...

Nicely done Silverado23, since my last reply, I bought another controller to run the lights. This once does all the colors as the orginal, but it also makes the lights change with the music. Well.......that was a waste of money....lol. It does work, however since my controller is located in my...

I didint take any pics of me soldering the 4 conductor wire extension to the LED strip as I did that in the house a few days before tackling the camper. I just measured from the top of the awning support to the bottom and added a couple of feet for slack. That extra couple of feet of wire, I...

Thanks for the compliments. I did this while it was 98* degrees outside, but only because we were going camping the following weekend. I recommend installing them when it's cooler. They sale a kit real similar to this at CW, but it was like 4 times as much. I did have to buy the 4 conductor 18...

Thanks Dave. I forgot to mention. I also ran a bead of clear silicon on both sides of the LEDs to prevent water getting in behind the strip and making the 3M tape to loosen up. Here is a couple of pics lit up at night.

Since we bought our 3950, it has driven me crazy that I couldn't reach the awnings to hang our lights on it. So.......I came up with this... I bought a set like this off of E bay. It came with two 16' reels, which is great as I have a 12' awning and a 20' awning. I ended up shortening one...

Liquid Glass. It's expensive in my book $26/pint, but it contains no wax or any abrasives. I used it when I showed my truck and now on the camper. Very easy to apply as it does not require any buffing. Just a lot of elbow grease....

I pulled my 12K pound bunkhouse from Florida to Yellowstone and back at 15.6 MPG with my '03 Dodge 2500 5.9 HO Cummins and 4.10 gears. Since then, I've upgraded to a '10 Dodge 3500 Dually with the 6.7L Cummins with the 3.73 gears and even though it will pull my Cyclone, I'm already looking for...

Since we bought our Cylcone, I pay more attention to the limbs then ever before when we had our old fiver. I called the road and bridge department of our county and explained to them that I have to swerve to miss some low limbs in our area, so she put in a couple of work orders for me. Not sure...

I had a problem with a couple of the connections getting hot and coming loose behind my panel due to poor crimping at the factory. Pull the panel off, check the line voltage on the switch to ground and see if you have 12 volts. If so, then check the load side of the switch to ground. Operate the...

I have a '12 3950 HD and I found some "stress cracks" in it. When talking to the guy in the body shop, he told me that the grey is a gel-coat just like a boat. When they replace my cap, they will shoot it and then clear on top of the gel coat. I asked about the ones turning white and was told...

Thanks for the tip John. I'm assuming the reason for the tiles is so the mattress will slide easier? I do like the trim around the edge, I think I have scratched my leg on that plywood a couple of times already.

Thanks for the input. I do like the tiles up on top of the plywood. It looks like I'm going to start looking in the bargain section at my local depot store. We have a few trips planned in the upcoming weeks, so as soon as I can, this storage mod is on my list of to dos. Maybe I can get some...

We now have the Cyclone 3950 HD Toy Hauler. Despite this thing being huge, there isn't a lot of storage in the coach unless you count the garage. One of the places we miss compared to our old camper is the area under the master bed. I unscrewed the plywood thinking that it was screwed down...

Congrats on the Cyclone. We picked ours up on April 30th of this year and had a few issues with it. We do have one major issue and if it wasn't for me waxing the front cap, I would've never noticed it. We have the HD edition and there is a lot of stress cracks in the gel-coat. Heartland agreed...

I had the same issue with my FR Wildcat. A couple of weeks ago after a lot of reading online and debating, I finally broke down and fixed it. I know this is Heartland, but the slides are still Lippert and we just bought a Cyclone yesterday. Here is what I did.... After reading on Lippert's...

Thanks for all the replys. I really do appreciate it. I have a 32' FW that I pull a trailer behind to carry the golf cart on. Now that the state parks in Florida and Georgia allows us to bring the carts in, we are wanting to take it more often. Neither state, by law, allows this, but we have...

Thank you. What is the level up option. The 32' FW we have now, I added the remotes to the front landing gear and it sure made my life easier. Being the new coach has hydraulic front jacks, the unit I have only works with electric, so I won't be able to swap it over. Thanks.

Thanks. After digging a little deeper, the FW rating for this truck is 13650 lbs. with the 4.10 gear, it's 18K lbs.

Well, we have narrowed it down to the 3950 HD package or the 415 RW with the full body paint. The 3950 is a 2012 and the 415 will be ordered from the factory. We like both layouts, they are very similar with the options, 2nd AC, Patio option, electric rear stabilizers to name a few. The cyclone...

Hello folks.....We are looking to purchase a 2012 Cyclone 3950 and one of the things that the dealer has asked me is what is my tow vehicle. I have a 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 dually 2WD, LWB with the Cummins engine and a 3.73 gear in rear end. Now I know in my mind that there shouldn't be any...
