my in-laws run dmax and my folks run dodge diesels for their companies
the cummins continually get better mileage; like shockingly better (we did a trip this winter, pulling 10k loads, so little ones). 3 dmax's and 2 cummins; the cummin's got 12-15 and the dmaxs got 6-8, all measurements at...
2013 Cyclone 3950
under warranty it was in for sewer gas smell while draining tanks and slow drain on grey tanks; dealer flushed out the vent and stated that the problem was fixed (we didn't use it again since the fix)
last weekend we used the rig again and I noticed a couple things
it...
problem solved
not sure what fixed it; but after starting the genset and flipping the breakers on the genset back and forth a couple times it magically started working
I have no idea what I did differently; but all is working now
2013 3950; took delivery last year
Brought it out of storage; fired up the genset and for some reason it will not power the coach (worked great last year).
Within the genset (onan 5000) cover there is a pair of 30amp breakers; flipped them both ways, no joy.
If I go with shore power the coach...
spot on regarding the pros & cons
very happy with the mileage / range / capacity / space / comfort when towing; it is a very calm, smooth, quiet experience
depending on your wheel base and overhang manuverability can be tricky
if you head deep off road an hdt can get you in trouble; but with pin...
empty we got 12.7 from AZ to MN
towing the cyclone we've gotten between 9.5 and 10.0; we have about 3000 miles on the cyclone this year; so it has been very consistant
i'm getting better mileage then my inlaws diesel pusher motorhome, better then the gas pickups towing with us and similar to...
in MN you need to fulfill (i think its 4) of a possible 8 items
sink/shore power/separate ac & heat/toilet/lp cooking/fridge and a couple i forgot
you install them; then take some pics and head into the dmv; a small fee later your good to go as a mh
our rear bathroom doesn't have that issue
but... our front bathroom was stinking up the place pretty bad; problem ended up being that the sewer vent was plugged
they unplugged it under warranty and we've been golden ever since
since yours doesn't smell when its full perhaps the sewer vent has...
so... after measuring and remeasuring several times i decided to raise the hitch on the truck
I went this route as i ended up needing 6 inches of height at the hitch and i could only get 3 inches if i dropped the suspension. Additionally if i dropped it the full 3 inches i would be getting very...
for your first post you've zero'd in on a hot button of the rv community :)
you'll see and hear many differing opinions on the towing topic here is a very active thread happening right now on a different forum http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/25251954.cfm
my take
figure...
we ordered our 3950 on march 3rd and this last friday the final piece of the puzzle finally fell into place
here is a pic of the final product just after the truck returned from striping
it definately took longer then we anticipated; getting the hdt licensed as a motorhome was a pretty big pain...
