FYI had same problem with different manufacturer only after 2 years. Thats why I went to Heartland Cyclone. They now use Azdel, which doesn't delam. Next time only consider an RV with Azdel exterior side walls. More manufactories are using it now. Luan prices have skyrocketed and harder to get...

I used Oscar Rivets to fix mine, plus added some silicone sealant to rivet and awning back. Fix has lasted for over a year.

Could be a variety of issues: rails, chain, motor, wiring/contact problem, binding on ??? Call Happijac customer service. They are a division of Lippert have been very helpful on some questions I have had. Address: 505 N. Kay's Dr. Kaysville, UT 84037 Phone: USA (801) 544-2585

I called Lippert owned HappiJac. They informed me that the track plates, holding the upper bunk can be removed. The upper bunk then can rest on the lower bunk. The leg supports on the lower bunk should be in the lowered position for better stability. That gives the lower bunk a much lower...

My 2020 GMC Denali 3500 has a trailer TPMS built into the truck. Paid $5.00 a wheel for Discount tire to install the sensors. It also has some other neat towing features built into the truck: checks all trailer lights, gives trailer MPG average, gives trailer miles, have 11 different camera...

Yes there are a lot of RV junk yards and surplus stores. But it depends on where you live. A door is not something you can ship easily. You should be able to find one and pick it up. Your unit is new enough you can even order one from Heartland. Last year I got some trim and a new window from...

We have a Cyclone. The lower happijac bed is not comfortable to sleep on and has to be completely redone from the sofa option into the bed ption. However the upper bed can be kept with bedding in place and is more comfortable to sleep on. But we hate to have 60+ year old guests crawling into...

BEFORE you do anything with the motor adjust the angle of the awning. Use the push buttons on the upright support bracket attached to the trailer while the awning is in the retracted position. You will likely need a ladder to accomplish the adjustment. I had the same problem. And I also thought...

Call Heartland Cyclone customer support. I've had bad luck with dealers whom I purchased from and very good service from other Heartland dealers.

Had a similar wiring disconnect issue on my 2020 Cyclone, but not on an oven connector. I rarely use the water pump. I usually have a city water hookup. I went to winterize the unit and the pump didn't work. Checked the fuses and they were all good. Took off the panel for the water pump switch...

I've had two tank valves go bad. At first I thought it was a bad regulator or empty tanks. Took tanks in to get filled, but they were both full. Bought two new tanks and everything works great. It was on a brand new Cyclone and Heartland covered the replacements but I had to pay for the propane.

OK thank you, now I understand. My slideout is apparently constructed differently???? The plywood flooring is not exposed. The Azdel composite covering of the slideout vertical wall covers the plywood on the front. On the sides of the slideout the vertical wall is made of aluminum and also...

Sorry but we seem to be missing each other's point. I'd like to understand your issue so I can avoid the problem you have. Where do you think the water coming from that is rotting your floor? What do you mean by the term "extrusion" Is it the rubber seal or the metal slideout edge trim? I've...

IMO the aluminum extrusion material at the bottom of the slide would be the least likely place you would get a water leak. My point is that if you do not a good seal at the top or side of the slideout, water could leak in through the those seals, go down the wall and run onto the floor. To me...

Have you figured out how the water got in. Faulty rubber seals? Slideout not completely closing? Slideout not closing evenly? Window or door seals? Or? I am also curious. Do you have a slideout awning topper? I would like to think that the slideout awning, even when the slideout is in...

Just called Heartland Customer Support. As of 12PM 9/11/2020 they know nothing about this recall.

Sorry,can't take picture. Rig is at dealer getting warranty work, awning rail refastened with exploding rivets.

I actually added 2 more batteries. But I don't have a generator. I just used 1 1/2" corrugated split wire loom and duct tape to make additional venting and the "Y" connections. Works great and powers frig all night.

I had to do the same thing, reversed the door hinges so I didn't have to go down a step to enter the bathroom from the bedroom. I tried to put in a pivoting door but on my 3600 cyclone there just wasn't enough room, with the toilet placement, to get the full entrance space for the door to pivot...

You have to use the sensors from GMTrailer Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Package Part No. : 84338125 They came with my 2020 GMC Denali. I took off two trailer tires at a time and had Discount Tire put in the GMC sensors. I tried to program them but it kept timing out. Luckily my GMC dealer had...

Cyclone's choicwe of shade/blind made not sense to me, dark living area and bright bedroom. I just replace all the shades and blinds in our 2020 3600 Cyclone. For some reason the living room/kitchen area had all black shades. It made the room miserably dark or totally not private. I installed...

You made a good choice to go to a Cyclone. I had a Open Range which is made by Jayco. I made the switch to a Cyclone 3600 for the same reasons you did. It just heavier duty for what a toy hauler has to do. Jayco had good service and followed up with everything but I had to get it done at their...

You need to check out the specs on the new 2020 GM trucks. The frame and body have been completely re engineered. It much stronger and has the towing capacity of many older DRW 3500.

If you get a 2020 GMC or Chevy 1 ton Duramax SRW you don't need a dually. Duallys are a pain for anything other then towing a huge trailer. They are a pain to park, maneuver in traffic and burn more fuel. A 2020 GM 1 ton SRW would easily handle your trailer and the camera system is fantastic...

<p> FYI</p> <p> I added a 5th Airborne 21K to my Cyclone 3600. It was an easy one person install with the help of my Kubota front bucket. BUT what I didn't know until I started to hook up to my Demco Sliding Hitch is that I also needed a Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate.</p> <p> I'm...

Since people on this thread are familiar with the capabilities of an RV King Direct TV system I'm sure someone can answer this question. If the King DirecTV system only gets Standard Definition and not HD, what channels and programming are you not able to get from DirecTV? I've got a SWM dish...

It's not my Credit Union for RV loans. I do a lot of business with them but not RV loans. They are almost 50% higher on RV but lower on everything else. Has anyone used Good Sam?

The truck charges the batteries. I put in 3 size 27 Interstate batteries. Since I don't have a generator I have room to put in a third size 27 battery. I have boondocked for a over 24 hours with no problems without having to recharge the batteries. The small Heartland solar panel probably...

One of the first things I did to my new Cyclone is install fan covers. I leave them open during storage in the spring, summer and early fall for interior ventilation. I've done that for years with other RVs. There are no negatives to do that to keep the interior from getting extreme hot...

I've been an RV owner since the 80's. I've tried to learn from my mistakes. Right now I hope I have a unit that eliminates most of the major problems I've had with previous RVs. For me four things are important in selecting a quality RV manufacturer/model: underpinning fasteners, welds, slide...

If they are Schwintek Slides make sure that the installer has the wire harness turned away from the slide. If the harness is turned toward the slide the harness will rub on the slide as it goes in or out. The wire insulation will quickly fray and short out. I owned a Heartland Sunset Trail...

Been riding motorcycles since the 60's. And I'm a member of the Iron Butt Club. Did 13,600 miles in 15 days by going to the 4 corners of the United States - Blaine, Washington; San Ysidro, California; Key West, Florida and Madawaska, Maine. But I've settled down to reasonable rides since...

I have a 2020 Cyclone 3600. From the first time I tried 2 of the 4 awnings, when they are extended, to retract them I have to use the "in" switch 4-8 times to get them past a rotation and retract all the way. Since it's under warranty I've had it in for repair twice. Both times the service techs...

Just bought a new Cyclone but I've had RV since the early 80's. Frankly I bought new so I would not have issues without a warranty. DaneMayer gave you some great advise. But if you are not familiar with RVs and the problems that Dane mentioned I get some help from someone who does. Some of...

An FYI to Michelin. I had just the opposite experience with Michelin LTX OEMs in terms of wear on my TV. I know that they are highly rated but I only got 19,000 miles on mine before 2 got down to 2/32 in certain areas!!! Yes I always check my pressure, rotate and use a TPMS. And I've also had...

Just got a new 2020 Cyclone 3600. I've got a Direct TV SWM dish that I've used for several years with my old RV. I've got everything up and going to my Main TV which is in the Living Room. I'd like to set things up so that I can get the Satellite signal to my Garage TV. I know that the RV has a...

Yep there is and has been there for a couple of years. They are easy to distinguish. If it's too good to be true - it isn't true. They usually have just a few pictures of the exterior and no interior pictures. And the phone area code doesn't match the address. I don't know what the intent is...

I would appreciate info from anyone who has done the mod and learn from everyone's experiences.

Great idea. And your install method seems to be the best from what I see the available spaces to be. Inside the doors there is only an 1 3/4" space between the ceiling bed and the rear windows, so it is likely a curtain might be "hooked" when the bed goes up/down. Now that you had experienced...

Great description and pictures. Now that the shocks are on what differences have you noticed? 1. Any noticeable improvements in the pulling and ride characteristics of trailer/truck? 2. Is there less "jostling" of items in trailer? 3. Any other improvements with shocks? 4. Was it worth the...
