Well, we've been fulltiming now in our new Cyclone 4100 for just over 2 months and we have had some issues. I didn't and couldn't take the time to take it to a dealer so I have been able to fix it myself......so far.....
On the second nite I noticed water dripping from under the trailer. Upon investigation I noticed the shower drain pipe was leaking quite a bit so I tried to tighten it but that didn't help so I replaced the whole pipe thinking we we're good......wrong, still leaked. Come to find out the drain itself was cracked so another trip to Home Depot and we were all good. 3 weeks later we woke up to water coming out from under the kitchen sink cabinets. Fitting under sink wasn't crimped tight at all. Tightened that up and leaked stopped.
2 days ago my Dad was here for a visit and was in the half bath when he heard water running inside the wall. Had to take the wall board off to get to the line which was spliced about 6 inches above the floor. Another fitting not crimped at all on one side. Thank goodness my dad was in the bathroom when it blew!!
One of my basement doors is rippling on the outside and the Auto Level keeps making a popping noise???
This doesn't include the dealer having to replumb the kitchen sink, fixing the washer/dryer drain that wasn't hooked up at all and putting in closet shelving that they forgot to put in when they built it!!! Don't get me wrong we LOVE our 4100, I say all this to all those looking to buy any new brand of trailer........make sure you keep a close eye on your water fittings and splices for a while. Check and recheck. We turn the water and water heater off every time we leave even if it's just for a few hours. I did contact my dealer about having to fix all this stuff and he did say he will reimburse my expenses for the parts I had to buy. We haven't let these things dampen our spirits on full timing so far we love it.
We are loving our stay in Colorado and are looking forward to our next stop which will be somewhere in Texas.
