I took my Cyclone out on the beach a couple years ago. We stayed there for about four days if I remember correctly. You should be able to take the trailer out on the beach for the day and just pull it nose first towards the dunes in a day-use area. I'm not sure what they would charge for that. I...

Thanks Scottyb, I'll try them tomorrow.

I was actually planning to do that to mine to prevent any leakage. I'm curious as to what type of material they used on the new gears to prevent the swelling from re-occurring.

Do you happen to have the contact info for Bryan at GPI? I have the same problem with the gears swelling and binding against the gear cover. I loosened the bolts just a hair and the pump works fine. When I tighten them up, I get no flow or motor operation. What type of information does he need...

I have a 2011 3010. The specs say it is 35' 2". I have it on a 36' pad with the hitch slightly (1 or 2") behind the front edge of the pad with about a 4 or 5" space between the back of the trailer and the fence at the back of the pad. This was the main reason I went with this model. The Raptor...

I spent 22 yrs in the AF on C-141's and KC-10's, retired and did another 8 yrs with a charter out of Tulsa on DC-10-30's. Finished up my sidesaddle days a little over a year ago with just shy of 10,000. The company retired the 10's along with the FE's to boost the unemployment numbers (and their...

I posted some pictures awhile back with the TV install I did in my garage. Take a look at this thread, maybe it will help answer any questions or concerns. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/19093-How-to-mount-TV-in-garage?p=181282&highlight=#post181282

I have the Carefree version as well. I have the "steep pitch" as I'm sure you have as well. The way to determine this is measure from the top rail to the bottom of the rail attached to the coach. If it measures 57", then you have the "Steep Pitch". The good news Duane is that you don't have to...

Thanks for the links. I was having problems with it extending and retracting and knew I was having a problem with the right side strut. The winds in Phoenix took care of any "milking it" I was doing any longer.

Does anybody have the replacement part number, or specs (length/lbs of force) to purchase locally, for the electric awning gas struts? I had one that was binding. Since the switch is inside the coach, I wasn't able to see the strut bending during retraction. As a result, the strut is no longer...

I haven't been to the Sac dealership for about a year. At the time, they were only a sales office. If they are closing the Roseville store, I hope they are moving the service center along with the service staff to Sac since that is closer for me as well since I live in Vacaville.

Just a small piece of advice about the French Camp dealership. I purchased a 3010 from them in April of last year. The sales staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and they too made the price worth the purchase compared to the Midwest dealers. The problem I had was when I went to pick it...

You might want to try Pan Pacific in Roseville. Although I bought my 3010 at the French Camp store, I now use the Roseville store for any servicing that's beyond my capabilities or tool selection. There is also a Grins as well as another Pan Pacific down in Gilroy. Not sure where you're located...

I had this problem with my 2011 3010. The problem I had was due to the excessive amount of staples they used in production to keep the carpet on the main floor in place. As a result, it was ripping the carpet as well as scrapping the underside of the slide out which was leaving black streaks on...

Stang, I can help a bit on this since I had similar questions when I bought mine. - Thermostat in the garage controls the fantastic fan above the upper bunk in the garage. - Cable plugs are setup, to the best of my knowledge, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the best I've been...
