    SOLVED: Water Leak from Under Fresh Tank

    Like the original poster, I overfilled my fresh tank. I now have intermittent leaking from a hole in the coroplast, which I am assuming was caused by my carelessness. I cannot find an obvious place where leak is coming from via basement access panel. I'm thinking I will need to look behind...

    Replacing Landing Gear on 2009 Cyclone 3950

    Thought I'd close the loop on this just in case it's helpful to anyone. After looking at the Ultra-Fab and Bulldog products, it looked like neither one would fit. I got the best information on this from etrailer.com. I found their online help desk to be very useful. Here is the link where they...

    Replacing Landing Gear on 2009 Cyclone 3950

    Gary, I did hypothesize at one point that the leg had just slipped in the bracket. But after removing the leg, I can actually bang the foot on the ground and get the leg to retract. Something is seriously slipping in there. I didn't mention this in the initial post, but the previous owner would...

    Replacing Landing Gear on 2009 Cyclone 3950

    Replying to my own thread as I learn more. Ultra-Fab says I'll have to weld them on. That seems nuts to me, but I assume they know what they are talking about. Now I'm researching the Bulldog dual motor system, which is supposed to be bolt-on. Again, I don't want to be drilling holes in the...

    Replacing Landing Gear on 2009 Cyclone 3950

    I recently purchased a 2009 Cyclone 3950. The seller replaced a broken landing gear leg on the driver's side before I took delivery. The new leg broke the next time I unhitched. I actually had the pin weight off of the fifth wheel and was about to pull off when the leg completely slipped...

    5th Wheel Towing Guide Mystery

    Brian, Thanks for the response. I would actually love to buy a Ford for several reasons. It's just that I'm very hesitant to do so based on the 6.0 reputation. I have read some articles about making improvements to the 6.0 to correct some of the design flaws and turn it into a dependable engine...

    5th Wheel Towing Guide Mystery

    I'm planning to buy a Cyclone 3950. Don't yet have a tow vehicle. Trying to decode the towing riddle. I plan to pull this thing out west, but there's no way I'm getting a semi. I'm looking at the towing guides from www.trailerlife.com, because they show the towing limits for all manufacturers...

    2008 Cyclone 4012 Buying Advice

    Thanks all for the advice. I've decided to pass on purchasing this unit. I think the delamination issue is not a major issue on this. However, it clearly affects the value and resale potential. I'm new to the RV buying business, so I just want to be super cautious. If I knew more about it, I'd...

    2008 Cyclone 4012 Buying Advice

    I am negotiating on a 2008 Cyclone 4012. It is at a car dealership who took it in on trade. They have it listed for around 35K but made me an offer of 29.5K. That seemed like a pretty fair price. That's below NADA's low retail. I accepted the offer with the contingency of having it inspected at...
