Heartland/Lippert sent a person to my house and replaced the motor on mine. he spent three days replacing the motor and on the third extension the motor quit again. He callled Heartland and they sent a second motor system to be installed. It has worked until now. This is the fourth time I have...

You all might consider putting Amsoil in all your vehicles, even the generators. I was getting 18mpg on Dodge RAM 5.9. After putting oil in all the cases I am getting between 25-28mpg.

Definately add air bags...my husband installed ours. It made a whole world of difference. We pull our 3950 with 2500 Cummins Diesel extended cab. We will upgrade in the future, but for now the 2500 will do. We are not FT'ers yet. So it is doing a nice job so far.

Jack Issue Update It has been a few weeks since we posted anything regarding the previously stated issues with the Cyclone jack system.This is an update on the issues and repair of the faulty jack system. After numerous phone calls and emails with Heartland & Lippert they decided a complete &...

Did you have to purchase the 2nd motor with your dollars, or did Lippert offer it at their expense. We're having the same issues with our 3950 jack system. They have sent a replacement system to our service guy. He kind of laughed and said they sent the same thing that is currently on the Rv...

We actually talked to Lippert (employee Vaughn Hannings) this morning. He is sending a complete jack system to the repairman. So we'll see what happens after the all is replaced. The only part that was never replaced in the 4 times before was the jacks themselves. So we let you all now how...

LOL...Let me restate that...the biggest towable.

We were told that the 3950 Cyclone is the biggest 5th wheel on the market that has no engine. Is this true? If it isn't we'd hate to see the biggest one.

Tate, We'll be glad to keep folks up to date with the repairs, etc. Eric said Heartland & Lippert Ok'd for us to take to any reputable RV service center here close to home. Dothan is about 30 mins from home. We have some RV buddies that know reputable repair centers in our area. Keep watching...

Well, we have good news about our 3950 jack system. Eric (service manager) at Heartland has accomplished more in 3 days than Gary did in a year. Lippert is going to replace the complete jack system assembly due to the problems we have had over the last year. Now whether the system will be any...

Watch out for the jack motor and gears. Our 3950 has had all the parts replaced at different times in the last year. The Lippert equipment leaves a lot to be desired. They are the jack system supplier.

We have air bags on our truck and do the same as you when unhitching. However, if trailer is apart from the truck at a park, and lowered if need be to level then we have a problem. Happened in Savannah, Ga. Trailer was level. Truck bed was higher with no air in the bags. What do you know out...

Thanks Coley, We'll check with some of the RV dealers in the Dothan,AL area about working on the Cyclone when needed. Then we'll call Heartland and make sure said dealer is authorized to service our unit.

Why is it that Heartland doesn't or hasn't looked into a new company besides Lippert for the jack system on these units, and other units for that matter? Seems Lippert has a lot of issues with dependable equipment more than just the jack system for such nice RV's.
