    Cyclone 4200 Modifications begin here

    I checked the clearance this morning and 33in would fit perfectly over the light and would not interfere with the awnings when retracted. I have tried to contact carefree but get customer service and they just tell me NO we can't do that. I see Jayco has directly copied the 4200 floor plan. They...

    Cyclone 4200 Modifications begin here

    Check out the Carefree Marquee over the door & window awning. I spoke to them today and they only go as small as 50in. If this could be made to 24 or 26in it would be a perfect fit for above the light over the door. This looks simple enough to make shorter and really only need to exstend about 3ft.

    Hi Sniper I installed my pinbox myself. To make life easy on yourself get some 1/2in solid rod or rebar before you start. I also replaced all of my bolts since I just feel that when they are tighted from the factory they may be over tignited. ( better safe than sorry). First check your pin...

    Hi Chris It was nice meeting a fellow 4200 owner last week. I have been trying to source a short awning that would cover of main cabin door with no luck. Have you been able to find one yet?? Carefree makes an awning that is 50in and way too long but the action is perfect. It is made for a motor...

    CY4200 Installing a dishwasher below the oven

    How has this worked out for you so far?. We are thinking about going to an induction cooktop and add the dishwasher in place of the stove(we have not used it in almost two years now). It looks like a pretty straight forward install.

    How to carry your rifles in your RV

    Hi all we found a company in VA that makes all types of gun concealment cabinets. They are called Tactical Wall and do custom work as well. We met them last year at a campground and they seemed to be great people. Look them up and yes it is ALL MADE IN THE USA.

    Cyclone 4200

    Hi Heartland sent us a new inverter for the camper. It took me around 45 min to make the switch my self. It works fine and no other issues with the fridge. Quick tip on the inverter. If your old one is showing the code E03 or 30E on the display after you turn it on the inverter needs to be...

    CY 4200 - Getting closer to Perfect!

    The only time I told someone no was either we were on our way out for the day or getting loaded up to leave. We love ours also. What issues have you had we have had few small ones also.

    We just got back from our second trip in the 4200. there is no headroom issue with patio and I am 6'2". We also just had all the rain 2+inches from the last storm and no issues with the awnings. I do agree that the main door should be covered by the awning. We just use the back door. Our dump...
