In my previous Cyclone 3950 I had a Onan 5500 that was factory installed. It was a nice clean installation with a sound deadening surround. It was a very handy installation especially with the interior remote start and the fuel supply (gas) from the toy hauler fuel tank. I will note here that I...

All RVers have times we would rather not talk about but I have found the best person to make fun of is myself. Not only am I easy to pick on but sometimes I think it might give someone else a good laugh or maybe even help them from pulling one of my bone head tricks. I purchased a Heartland...

Just had another tire failure on the good old factory supplied tires. I am going to sell them to someone with less weight needs and buy a set of four G-614s. What are the best prices you have found? Thanks

I purchased a TST system about a year and a half ago and have been very happy with it except for having to remove it to air the tires. That is a real pain in the arse. I received an e mail from TST that says they are in the final stages of testing an inside of the tire system that you can add...

I think most of us at one time or the other have cussed about having to find a dump station (rapidly disappearing) and are upset about the increasing fees. When we return from a trip we either have to not use the facilities while traveling or find a dump station before parking our rigs at home...

I received a prospectus from Colorado River Adventures after purchasing a new five er. They said it is worth $1,000 and paid for by the dealer I bought the new five er from. I know they are selling memberships that appear to be usable at any of eight membership parks along the Colorado river...

I purchased a 3950 three years ago and it generally served me well. I had the usual problems with the front landing gear (replaced with dual motor system) but overall it was pretty good for maintenance. We winter in Tucson from Idaho. We hauled one year a street bike and two dirt bikes...

'explain to me the difference between the bighorn units vs the other units like augusta, landmark etc. has anyone every had one of those walk in spa tubs installed in a trl?

I have an 09 Cyclone 3950 with generator. The fuel tank guage has worked fine for ongoing four years. Just before leaving to come down here to Tucson I checked the guage and it showed about a quarter tank. I filled it thinking I would put in 15 or so gallons but it only took about five. The...

TI have an 09 Cyclone 3950. It came with a single motor to lift this heavy trl that burned out quite shortly. I talked to Heartland and they sent a new heavy duty motor and had it installed under warranty. This motor lasted about a year and a half and of course is out of warranty. This...

I have pulled my 09 Cyclone 3950 for around 10K now. I recently installed a TPMS system from TST as I had read many posts where tires had blown and torn all heck out of the trl. I drove truck for several years and also had had blow outs that did some damage to the trls I was pulling. Reading...

Just need to vent a little as I am very disappointed in Heartlands design and engineering on the front landing gear of my 09 3950 Cyclone. Just a few months after purchasing the 3950 the motor for the landing gear was popping fuses left and right. I contacted Heartland and they sent a new...

Connecting in Series When connecting your batteries in Series you are doubling the voltage while maintaining the same capacity rating (amp hours). This might be used in a scooter, Power Wheels kids vehicle, or other applications. Just use a jumper wire between the negative of the first battery...

I am building an auxillairy fuel tank that goes under my toolbox. I am trying to keep it as simple and cheap as I can. It will have gravity flow into a RDS kit on the fuel fill line, vented, etc. Instead of a fuel guage, I am considering putting in two bungs into the side of the tank with...

I have an 09 Ram 1 ton with a Delta low profile toolbox that has a space under it of 7 1/2 " x 17" x 58". I would like to find a steel, alum, or plastic fuel tank that would fit into this space to carry extra fuel. I have looked around some and can't find one of course to fit these dimensions...

I am and X truck driver that grew up driving the old trucks with non radial tires and the old type of bearings, not the oil bath that most trucks have today. I keep reading about people blowing tires and having bearings burn out. **** will happen occasionally but here is a little advice on how...

I just purchased an 09 Dodge 3500 Megacab, short box, dually to pull my 3950 Cyclone. The first thing I figure out on the new pickup is most NAV functions are locked while driving. I guess this is true on most cars and other pickups also. I understand why but the wife does that kind of stuff...

I have an 09 Cyclone 3950 with the Onan 5500 W generator. It has been increasiningly harder to start and got to the point it would start after many tries and then run erratically. The Onan service people said it was probably a gunked up carburator as I guess these are very touch to gumming up...

We have the Cyclone 3950 with the std corner shower. The wife is a "tubber". Has anyone converted to a tub/shower or know how or where to obtain tub unit? thanks in advance

I have had my Cyclone 3950 for one year and had actually lived in it about 8 weeks total since purchased new. I noticed the other night the lights inside going dimmer and dimmer. Upon checking the test guage it showed the batteries were about dead. I checked the fuse on the fuse panel the...

We purchased a 3950 Cyclone a year ago and love it. We plan on doing more dry camping this year. Has anyone come up with an idea on how to get fresh water to the unit hauling it in the tow vehicle. Maybe some kind of a inflatable container so it doesn't take up much space in garage while...

My Front Landing Jacks Groaned And Would Usually Pop The Breaker Two Or Three Times When Lifting The Unit. I Had An Electrictian Measure The Amperage And The Motor (fused At 30 Amps) Was Pulling 42 Amps. I Contacted The Dealer And They Talked To The Factory Which Sent Out A Larger Motor. This...

I have an 09 model 3950 and use it some in the winter. I have added numerous frame clips and spray in insulation foam to seal leaks in the underbelly. The unit is advertised at having a heated basement. What and how is it heated and what is the trailer rated at in cold weather. Please answer.

My 3950 grunts and groans and usually popped the circuit breaker fuse if lifting a foot or so. I installed a resetting type of circuit breaker and that has helped but it will still pop it if lifting very far. Is this normal? Could I put a heavier fuse going to say a 30 amp vs. the 20 amp that...

I live in Idaho and it can get a bit cold. My 3950 is suppossed to have a heated underbelly. I have had some of the black covering off underneath and see no ducting for heating of the underbelly. I have also noticed several holes in the frame etc. and gaps in the black undercover that could...

I recently purchased a new 3950 and have pulled it 3 or 4 thousand miles so far. I pull it with a 3/4 ton chev duramax short box and 265 tires. I recently weighed it and found it weighed more than I thought. With nothing in the garage, 30 gallons of fresh water, nothing in grey or black...

I recently purchased a new 3950 and noticed that the Jensen Tv would come on a different times during the day and night. I thought I had a ghost or a neighbor kid pulling a joke. It still did it several hundred miles from home. I contacted my dealer (OK Trl Sales in Shelley Idaho) and got...
