Sorry it’s been so long updating this thread. I have good news. After sending the new pictures to Lippert showing them the inadequate weld on one of the frame members that had broken, they agreed to repair and upgrade the frame for free if I could bring our 4100 down to the factory. We did...

Well, I worked with Lippert, sent pictures and they told me that it looks like a loading issue and they wouldn't cover it under warranty. Even though I've never run this trailer at the gross weight. When I was tying up all the wires, hoses and cables before putting the corplast back on, I found...

Thanks Bill - depending on what Heartland/Lippert has to say, I might go with those X Factor cross members from Mor/Ryde - they look like they'd take care of the problem,...

Thanks - I've sent a note to their customer service department with photos - talking to the same people who took care of the frame repair last year.

No - that is behind this cross member.

We have a 2013 Cyclone 4100. It's been back to the factory for frame reinforcement to stop flexing at the front and consequent damage to the cabinets and frame structure. They installed a pair of support beams along the sides to support the frame. We've heard creaking when walking across the...

Lynda and I will bring some baked chicken. Greg & Lynda Jolicoeur

We always travel with a full water tank and empty black and grey tanks. Most places, the water is just not as good as home. Most places we end up at do not have water or sewer hook up. Others have mentioned that the weight in the tank adds pound for pound to the load on their TV. Not so - the...

I feel your pain. I've noticed that the latches on the trailer door locks have quite a shallow angle to them - not like the sweep that I see on the latches in our home. I think that really contributes to the need to "slam" the door so it actually latches properly. I hate doing that, bad for the...

I've had 4 Towmax failures in the past 4 months with about 6000 miles on them (235-80R16). One was a blowout that caused a bit of damage. The cords shifted in the other 3 and I changed them before they failed. I replaced 4 on my own with Maxxis - bought them before and had good service. On...

I learned something recently that demonstrated another important reason to have your tires balanced (in addition to all the excellent advice here). We had a flat on one of the Towmax tires in our 4100 that couldn't be repaired because the belts had shifted. (2nd one so far). At the tire store...

I can add to my previous post some new information. One of our tires that was wearing on the outside tread got much worse after a couple of trips in May. I picked up a nail and went to get it repaired. Turns out the belts had shifted - which explained the asymetrical wear on only that tire. If...

Have you checked that all of the GFI receptacles are OK? (IE not tripped?) Sometimes it's surprising to see what runs off of those things,...

Something similar happened to us when we got our new Cyclone. The switch for the generator wouldn't work in the prime position, although it did work in the start position - however, no prime, no go. So I checked the power and the breakers etc., nothing. I pulled the switched out and voila - one...

Is it possible that the spring lengths are the same and the difference between the axles is causing a bind? In other words, are the springs between the axles that are closer together,... shorter or not?
