    12 Foot garage not 12'! Polaris RZR XP 4 1000 will not fit!

    Yes. I leave a little tranny jack in the garage, which is easy to use too, but either way as you go up with one end you shorten the length (basic geometry). The other issue is, the bed which is inside the trailer and above the front half of the garage limits the interior garage ceiling hight...

    12 Foot garage not 12'! Polaris RZR XP 4 1000 will not fit!

    if it makes you feel any better 12 ft will not accommodate an XP4-1k anyway. I have one and a 2009 Cyclone 3795. My 12 ft garage actually measures 12ft and 1inch. But the RZR is an inch more than that. If run it in against the sliding glass door it will fit, that's putting it on the drivers side...

    Landing gear repair - success!!!

    I have a 2009 Cyclone toy-hauler. One side of the landing gear has always been sticky (hard to pull the foot down by hand) and at times the motor heats up and shuts off on overload. I think when the trailer was brand new (my first 5th-wheel) I bent that leg... Recently that leg stuck for good...

    Backing into a tight 90 degree opening?

    Thanks to all of you for your thoughts. I'll have the wife take a video and will post it next week, regardless of the outcome.

    Backing into a tight 90 degree opening?

    We have had our 3795 (40ft overall) for a year now and we love it. I have pulled a lot of different trailers over the years and the size does not bother me. If I have an inch on either side, I can usually get there… However, this weekend we're going to a friend's house. His driveway is exactly...

    '10 3010...2 bikes and a 50" rzr?

    Is the "yami 250" a quad or bike? I'm asking because we're thinking about a RZR (50"). We would want to haul a medium sized quad too. I have a 3795, which has a 12' garage. We haul 3 quads now (a 500 and two 250's) which is not too tight. Do you have a picture with all your stuff loaded?

    Heartland Dealer Refusing to service 2011 Cyclone still under warranty.

    Right after we bought our Cyclone, the dealer went under... We simply called Heartland and had them change our "home dealer" from where we bought it to a different Heartland dealer near us.

    Cyclone 3010 with f 350 SW

    I pull a Cyclone 3795 with a SRW F-350, no problem at all. Airbags or an air hitch can be nice for exact leveling (I have both). But to me, here is the biggie. I leave a tool box in my bed. With the truck and trailer on level ground, there are no clearance issues. But, if I'm turning tight with...

    Cyclone Nomeenclature?

    We have a 2009 3795 which we bought new in Jan of this year (2011). No one else seems to have wanted it, which was our good fortune - we love it! What does "3795" mean? My trailer is 40' by tape measure and 39' and 11" so says Heartland. Thanks, Mike.

    New Oregon Big Country Owner

    Where in WA are you and where is the rally? We're new owners and near Gig Harbor (traded up from an Arctic Fox slide-in camper - still have it). We're headed out on our 3rd trip in the 3750 this week, to Florence, OR ATV'ing on the dunes for a week!

    Grey water door?

    I left one of the grey water valve access doors unlatched and I knocked it off or it blew off. I have a 2009 Cyclone 3795 (which we love by the way). Who is the door mfg and/or where can I buy a replacement? The door is 7" 3/16ths x 7" 11/16ths without the hinge-pin. Thanks in advance.

    F350 for a 3795?

    Have made a few trips now and the old F350 is handling it just fine. In fact, we can not belive how much nicer the drive is! I never realized how hard that 4,500lb camper sitting in the bed was on us.

    F350 for a 3795?

    Thanks to you all for the comments. We took the plunge and bought it. My truck is a 2003 Ford, srw, 6.0 diesel, auto-tranny, crew-cab, long bed, with the towing package. The towing capacity and the dry weight of the trailer are about the same (approx 12k lbs). So every lb added puts me...

    Slide-Out Alignment?

    I’m a newbie here and to owning a 5th-wheel but not new to RV’s and most things mechanical. We have an Arctic Fox truck camper and just bought a new 2009 (it never sold until us) 3795 Cyclone. So far so good… It’s quite a difference going from a 9ft 9in camper to a 38+ft rig. Wow – look at all...
