    3800 Floor Leak Passenger Side

    Thanks Bob, I won't be filling the trailer up this year to check for the leak; however, I will begin with the blub seal as it is the most likely spot to begin. It is mounted to the floor via an aluminum strip. The leak wets the carpet just on the inside edge of the riser where the slide rides up...

    3800 Floor Leak Passenger Side

    Has anyone experienced a leak from roadway water on the passenger side floor between the front and middle axle on a model 3800? If so, what was done to fix it. I had the dealer work on it once before and it still leaks. The leak occurs when road water is thrown up and dampens the carpet on the...

    Sewer hose

    I too use a tote in addition to a 56" sewer hose carrier that I installed between the two gas tanks in the rear of our 3800. In most cases, I need only a 10 foot hose, but I carry two ten foot and one 15 foot hose. When you are 43 feet long some sites have a long run to the sewer connection...

    Garage Door not fully closing, any ideas?

    I too have the same problem in the same area. I measured the door and found that it is that way due to the way it was installed at the factory. I added some weather stripping to that area and now it seals up fairly well. The overhang above the door should get all but hurricane or monsoon driven...

    filling holding tank

    We have 2011 Cyclone and it has two water tanks, I would guess 50 gals each. I found that I had to stop every 5 minutes or so and let them equalize before adding more water. The venting system leaves a bit to be desired and when you stop you will hear them as the water moves from the front to...

    Faulty Fireplace

    Our fireplace went out, would run 1 minute and quit; wait 5 minutes and restart for 1 minute. I called Dimplex as per the User's Manual and they are shipping me the parts and arranging for a tech to come out to the trailer and install them. I called them on 5/24 and recevied and email from UPS...

    Black 1, 2, gray 1,2 - which is which - 2011 cyclone 3950

    I just purchased a 3800 and it has four valves. To figure out which was which I filled the grey tank in the font using a garden hose to the shower and put about 20 gals in it. I then opened the values one at a time to figure out which one was for the front grey tank. I then did the same for the...
