    Dangerous Electrical Issue - Cyclone 5th Wheel RV

    None done by me and based on the condition of the fasteners and existing penetrations these all looked like original locations. I do not believe there is a template for the locations and the assembler has some discretion on placement as even the remaining lateral screws floated front/back along...

    Dangerous Electrical Issue - Cyclone 5th Wheel RV

    Update: Smoking Gun Found So I was finishing up the repairs by properly dressing the penetration, protecting the harness in new loom then refoaming the hole with black landscaping foam, when I was dumbfounded by the presence of a very sharp and pointy screw right in the path of the existing...

    Dangerous Electrical Issue - Cyclone 5th Wheel RV

    Agreed, this looks pretty chopped up. Some of the tell tails are the aluminum skirting at the bottom of the trailer where they cut access for the cylinders and mounts, it looks like it was done by hand with a die grinder. Also where the skirting used to be secured to the I-Beam flange with...

    Dangerous Electrical Issue - Cyclone 5th Wheel RV

    I wonder if this issue has presented itself before? If I wasn't pinched for time (heading to Sturgis on Wednesday), I would do the same thing and run non-metallic, PVC conduit from front to back outside the frame rails then snake the hose inside that.

    Dangerous Electrical Issue - Cyclone 5th Wheel RV

    Hi John, Pretty sure its the 3010 Cyclone, if memory serves me. We use it twice a year (Sturgis in the Summer and Florida in the Winter), so kind of surprised abrasion happened this early as the electrical also has a secondary corrugated sleeve then expanding foam is used. as mentioned in my...

    Dangerous Electrical Issue - Cyclone 5th Wheel RV

    Hi Lynn, I think this is a 2013, I bought used in 2014. I had no issues with the electric until this year, so this failure happened while I owned it. I am curious however who/when the auto leveling was installed as it looked like this is something added after the coach was finished; is this a...

    Dangerous Electrical Issue - Cyclone 5th Wheel RV

    On a recent 2,500 mile trip between Chicago and Ft Myers, FL we ran into a problem with our running lights not working on half the carriage. Two days of troubleshoot and repair as a result of a electrical short at a steel cross member penetration. As a mechanical engineer I understand product...

    ATF: Cyclone - '13 Cyclone 3010 Puck Light Control - Kitchen?

    So I brought my meter with this last weekend and began checking power at the switch...scratched my head when I was reading 12v switched and good ground. I chased the wires to the splice above the cabinets to check power there...once again it measured fine. Feeling frustrated I pulled the bulbs...

    Cyclone with 10' garage Hauling an RZR....

    I have a 10' garage in our 3010 and haul a Harley Street Glide and '15 900 RZR Trail at the same time, its super tight but they both fit. With the RZR, its best to back it in, that what you can swing the front in tight once past the door.

    ATF: Cyclone - '13 Cyclone 3010 Puck Light Control - Kitchen?

    Great! thanks for your help. Heartland recommended I drop the skin off the bottom of the trailer and pull the refrigerator so I can trace the wires...pfft!

    ATF: Cyclone - '13 Cyclone 3010 Puck Light Control - Kitchen?

    Thanks Jim, I checked the obvious stuff, it looks like I'll need to grab a MM and dig a little deeper. Just so we are clear, the switch is this one that is circled?

    Garage Happi-Jak Lower Bunk/Bench Seat Support

    I'll take a look, but from memory it didn't look like there was any room left in the track to allow the bunks to drop lower. I'll be stopping by storage this week as it looks like I need to take some measurements to determine the best option for correcting the wrong leg length.

    Garage Happi-Jak Lower Bunk/Bench Seat Support

    Thanks for the help guys, I talked to Customer Support and they wouldn't warranty them because I am not the original owner. My conversation included "what difference does that make when the factory installed the wrong ones?" and the CR representative responded with "maybe the original owner...

    Garage Happi-Jak Lower Bunk/Bench Seat Support

    In our '13 3010, the lower bench seats of the Happi-Jak system have (4) fold out supports under the benches that I suppose should contact the garage floor when in use? This weekend we had guests stay over for the first time and thought we would give the garage bed a try. After pivoting the...

    ATF: Cyclone - '13 Cyclone 3010 Puck Light Control - Kitchen?

    Spent the week with the trailer and tried to pick this problem up again. I took some close up pictures of the control panel and even opened the lower panel up as the small black rocker in the lower section label "Light" doesn't seem to affect anything.
