I have a 2007 3795 cyclone with the generator in the front. The way I changed my landing gear motor was by taking out the extend/retract panel to the right of the gen. doors. I just took the screws from around it out, this allowed me to get to all the bolts and nuts that I needed to get to...

Sunnygirl, I have an '07 3795 Cyclone that has a/c in the garage, and no heat vents. My furnace is located right under the fridge right next to the garage wall. I took off the vent cover in front of the heater and found that there are openings precut and covered in the heater plenum. I cut...

Yes there is a heater vent in the bedroom. It's under the sink pointing into the room. It does not come up thru the floor but out from under the vanity door and the floor. Hope this helps. Bob

Thanks Scott, I'm glad to know that the rails and rings are on their way. I kinda figured as much about the oven part. I've asked the dealer why they don't just get the part locally and I've gotten "it's ordered". Last time I talked to them, I suggested that I'll replace the stove assembly...

Hi Scott, Here is our serial number: 5sfgf38367e002536. And the dealer we bought the unit from and have been working thru is Funtime RV inc. 18605 sw, Pacific dr. Tualatin, Or. 97062. Phone number is 503 925-9620 or 866 925-9620. I have been working with Brad in the service dept...

Hi Scott, I would like to purchase extra tiedown rails and rings for the garage area of my cyclone. I've asked the dealer to order them for me. I want the same ones that came with the trailer so that I can interchange them as needed. So the dealer has to order them from Heartland. I've...

Hi all, I live in the portland oregon area and am looking for out of the way places to go camping. I don't need hookups, (cyclone) I just like getting away from the usual crowds once in awhile. Also have 4 dogs, not much fun at a campground. So if anyone knows of places to go that might be...

I had mine in to the dealer for the same problem except that I had good air flow out the vents in the main area, but almost no air coming out of the vent in the bedroom. The dealer told me that Heartland uses the framing to run the heater ducts in and where they make the turns, (ie going up to...

Loco, Nice job. I like the way you did the vents. Much better idea than putting petcocks on all of the vent hoses. I never did understand why they have 4 vent hoses. Just a way to give us something to do. I haven't yet pulled my panel out from my pass thru, but I'm going to do it in the...

Jim, I to want to say that this is a great forum and that I've learned so much, and have been able to use many of the great ideas that people have come across in their experiences. I'd also like to note that I think you are doing a great job of moderating this forum. Keep up the good work...

Wild Wind, No I don't work for Heartland. And, Yes, I've had my share of problems. I took in a full page of problems and left my 5er with the dealer for 6 weeks. Got most of them fixed. I'm like you, I would much rather fix it myself than let someone else do it. For 16 years I worked for...

Just a reply to all that want to complain about the quality of Heartland. I worked for a Ford Truck dealership for 16 years. And we worked on many different motorhomes. Anywhere from the $70,000 range to $300,000 plus range. Think about taking your house and putting it on wheels and taking...

water temp Diesel engineer, The only intake mods have been to change the air cleaner to a high flow AFE air cleaner. After looking at the air box and where it picks up it's air, I don't feel that an after market cool air intake could do better. As for the turbo ring, I have mixed feelings...

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. Well it seems like I don't have very much to worry about. The temps I had on my trip seem to be right in there with most everyone else. I do have a EGT gauge in my truck and it stayed below 1200* all the time except if I pushed the truck real hard...

Hi All, I am the proud owner of a Cyclone 3795. I finally had a chance this last weekend to take it on a long weekend to the Oregon coast and ride in the dunes. What I'd like to hear from anyone with experience in there travels about what their tow rig maintains for water temps. I tow with...
