My 2012 Bighorn 3670RL ceiling fan runs smoothly for awhile then starts vibrating severely for sometimes 15 to 20 minutes then smooths out again for awhile. I have tried holding the fixture to try to get rid of the vibration, but it does not help. I can't see any particular pattern for when...

Gpshemi, thanks for your input. We are really new to RV'n and it didn't even occur to me to switch to normal and use the water in the fresh water tank. I was constantly shutting off water hydrant and draining fresh water tank. After reading your msg, I switched to normal and used water pump...

No service call was not reimbursed. Dealer informed us if we towed trailer to their site, everything would be covered, but if we had them come to our site, we would have to pay for the service call. We decided we would pay for service call to our site because of inconvenience of tearing down...

Thanks all for your replies. I will ensure the dealer is aware of it when they work on it. If the factory was having problems with a water backflow, wouldn't you think they would have done something to correct it on my unit being as this was special ordered from the factory in Oct 2011? Whirly

We bought 2012 Cyclone 3800 in Nov 2011. Never used fresh water tank but had undercarriage leak in Jan 2012. We had to pay service call for authorized dealer who said fresh water tank was overflowing (filled up every 3 days). He replaced the 4 way valve and we had no overflow for 3 months...

If you have not yet purchased the 3800, check both the current awnings as mine are so high off the ground that they are basically worthless and provide no shade at all. Talk to dealer or manufacturer to see if something can be done to make them useable. I tried adding additional screens to...

After several sewerpipe back flushes and factory hose flush and 5 gal of hot water down toilet, I think it finally cleared and I found out the shut off valve is not bad. At least I am getting flow out of the drain. I haven't been using any type of waste dissolver but I picked some up and will...

That's not a dumb question at all. It took me quite a while to figure out which valves (I have 4) does what and where and I did mark them (wouldn't you think the factory would have done this?). But I am using the correct valve. I did just purchase a clear section with a back flush and and...

2012 Cyclone 3800 - I just tried emptying front black tank after about 3-4 days and nothing comes out. Wife is the only user and usually 90% is liquid, but not even liquid comes out and indicators say tank is full. I have a clear elbow so I can monitor it. Is it possible the slide drain valve...

Thanks Ray, We are relatively new to RVing so many of my struggles may just be due to that and new Rig, and lack of instructions doesn't help. I plan to retire end of Dec and maybe spend time on Alabama coast so my wife can get out of the cold. Where abouts is the August rally in Wisconsin...

I too am more than a bit perturbed that the owners manual is so generic. I just purchased a 2012 Cyclone 3800, my first 5th wheel, and am very disapointed that black and gray water tank valves are not marked, and very little info on winterizing. I am picking up info from these forums, but I am...

I also have a dilema. Just purchased a new 3800 towing with 2011 350, and on way home when I manually applied electric brakes, I received a message 'no trailer'. I pulled over, unplugged and replugged, but still got message all the way home with no electric brakes. Don't know yet if it's the...
