    Anyone know what happened? Water pump check valve issue?

    Re: Anyone know what happened? I am having the same problem on my 1 year old 3850 cyclone. Water leaking into holding tank when connected to fresh water supply. Would someone be able to provide a link to one of these screw in check valves so I could purchase one or even see what they might...

    Looking at new hitches - help

    We went with the 5th Airborne. Have not used the trailaire or the morryde, but the 5th airborne has taken out the real hard bumps and most of the chucking. I pulled our 3850 for 1200 miles with the standard pin box with our daully and that made up my mind to get something different. Very...

    FM Antenna

    Hi This is a followup on a thread in a different area regarding the 'Missing FM Antenna'. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/6534-FM-Antenna-gone I had read this so thought it would be a good idea to use some thread locker on my antenna before using the trailer for any trips. After 2...

    2010 3950 - Water leaking into drivers side compartment toolbox?

    Yes, same thing. I checked after reading this thread. We have 3850 and tool box is wet and some tools starting to rust. I was going to look into trying to fix this week as well.

    2011 upgrades

    Are you able to take the door jamb out and reverse it? I never paid too much attention to see how the interior doors are installed in these units.

    2011 upgrades

    This is one of the main reasons we went with the 3850 and the optional patio door. We planned on carryng stuff and it would be nice to get back there when the slides are out.

    Finally, a picture of our 2011 3850 on delivery day.

    These were taken back in April when we picked up the unit in Minnesota. Since then we have had to add air bags to the F350 as this thing is a little nose heavy. All rides level now ;)

    2011 upgrades

    Couple things I noticed about our new 2011 3850 that would be nice to have and some need to be changed. - In the garage, the AC vent and the fan need to be moved from above the bed area. With the beds up these 2 things are virtually useless, especially the fan as it is no longer a fantastic...

    bunk access

    Just finished fixing this problem too. Since I run a sign shop we have a CNC Router Table and I decided I would make a complete new ladder for our 3850. Made the stringers wider and about an inch longer, the treads are now 3.5" deep and all made from solid maple. The stringers are all...

    Choosing 3950 vs Hitchhiker

    Hi Irish Sounds like we do something similiar. Us too bought a Cyclone for doing trade shows up in Canada. We purchased the 3850 because it did have the recliners (somewhat) and a good sized TV. The 3850 also was our choice because of the patio door, it just seems to open the whole...

    Rear axle position...does this look odd to anyone else?

    Our 3850 is like that too, I didn't notice that until I got it home and parked in the yard. But what I suspect is since 2011 is the year they switched to Dexter running gear they probably have differrent axle positioning and the fenders they use are probably for their old setup... Just my...

    Satellite on 2011 3850

    Just upgraded the coax wiring to get satellite to my TV's in the coach. Since I ordered a bedroom TV from factory I thought I would have a connection for satellite in the bedroom. I assumed wrong.:( After looking at the wiring diagram posted on this site and looking around the coach I...
