    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.

    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.

    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??

    FIRST CAMPING TRIP IN JEOPARDY - Please Help

    Our Cyclone will do this if we plug into shore power, but forget to turn on the battery disconnect switch up front. This causes the lights to run soley off the phase converter, rather than both it and the battery. Maybe worth double checking?

    Heartland awnings

    Is this something that all electric awnings are capable of? I was unaware of this feature - how do you accomplish this?

    Heartland awnings

    Our Cyclone has 2 awnings - we hate them both! Much prefer the stability of the manual unit we had on the last RV

    ATF: MPG - I want answers about our new MPG 185!

    Welcome to the "Running Line Changes" at Heartland. We also got a few suprises when we went to pick up our special order. I guess thats the advantage of buying from dealer stock...what you see is what you get

    King Pin Stablizers -- Yea or Nay?

    We just added a set of JT Strongarm stabilizer bars. Was a good few hours to install, but well worth it. They seem to work really well at taking the movement out.

    What should I look for in a Generator?

    We had a Honda 2000 inverter with our last TT. Worked great for everything except A/C...so long as you run one appliance at a time. It just didnt have enough umph to get the AC cycling on warm days. I had considered purchasing another & hooking them together, but unforunately that option is not...

    Improper Wired Recepticles

    Well said Ray! The RV you desire may be out there...you probably wouldn't like the price tag though

    not exactly a trailer mod, but

    We always just wrap a plastic covered cable through the generator handle and the trucks tie down. That stops the "honest" thieves. If they want it bad enough, nothing will stop them.

    And so it begins

    Nice work Duane. A bit difficult to get to? I think I wrenched my back once last year trying to reach that light. I had plans of installing a plunger switch on the door kinda like a refrigerator.

    2011 M21 Hot water heater

    That is a different model water heater than we have. Do you have a switch inside the rv for electric mode? Could be that the M21 does not come with the electric option??

    2011 M21 Hot water heater

    You may have a rocker switch outside on the water heater. It should have a small hairpin to prevent it from being switched on in error

    Shoddy workmanship with Coaxial Cable Wiring/Connectors

    This seems to be an on-going issue with all models Our Cyclone was also incorrectly labeled as well as 3 loose coax ends and 1 cable not even connected Perhaps the pex crimpers brother is in charge of coax crimping!?

    Congrats on the new North Trail! The only piece you may require is a converter plug from the 30 Amp RV cord to the 15 Amp outlet on your Yamaha I would assume the North Trail has a power converter like ours that will charge the batteries for you with the trailer plugged in and generator running...
