    Any Regrets

    I started with a Tahoe TT, then a Jayco 5'ver and now the 4012. The Tahoe was cheap to buy and never had a single issue. After getting it the family became hooked on Rv'ing but with 6 of us we needed more room. After 1 year we traded in the Tahoe and got 100% of what we paid for it towards...

    FM Antenna gone

    I have a 2008 4012. I noticed the front antenna was a little loose. When I went to tighten it the mount had 2 screws and one of them just spun. When I removed the antenna I found a hole in the roof so big that only one mounting screw could be used. The other was held in with the sealing...

    Electric Jacks will not operate landing gear

    Any instructions or tips on the lube operation. I also wondered about the chocking and tried it before and after to check for a difference. It seems to go up pretty good when I am taking it off the truck. It is when I have to lift it to put it back on the truck that I have all the problems.

    Electric Jacks will not operate landing gear

    Thumping gear reduction Thanks, I found the loose bolt a while ago and that got rid of one noise. So I looked inside to see if it had fallen off again and this is what I found. I can see that the gear reduction drive is turning and hitting the inside wall of the trailer. Then it goes...

    DVD Troubles - Help....

    FYI... If there is no video on the Olivea, it will not send an audio signal out the auxiliary out to your amp. You may ask, why do I know this? Well... If you tried to use the TV input for your I-Pod and then route it through the Clarion amp, you will find that it will not work. The amp...

    Clarion DVD player

    My first one did the exact same thing. They replaced it and the new one was only marginally better. I got frustrated so I pulled the unit out and noticed that it was really hot. I left it hanging in the open and lo and behold, it ran OK. So I put a vent in and it seems to play everything OK now.

    Electric Jacks will not operate landing gear

    The electric jack has never worked correctly on my Cyclone sine the day I brought it home. Unfortunately the day I picked it up it was high enough that I only had to lower it on my truck. When I got it home it started a "chattering" noise when I tried to lift it off my truck. When I called...

    What are you towing your Cyclone 4012 with

    I had a 2005 F350 Ford dually crew cab and whenever I pulled my 4012 it overheated on uphill grades. Took it to the dealer 3 times to no avail. I traded it in last Dec on a 2007 3500 HD Dually crew cab Sierra. The Sierra pulls much better with faster, smoother acceleration and far less cab...
