Okay, maybe not so quick. More of a discussion than a question too. Maybe my topic is way off. :p So here's the thing gang. I've got a 2008 4012. My understanding is that the plumbing is all contained inside the underbelly cavity, not "exposed" to the elements. We live in the PNW, where it's...

Interesting. So your solution was to eliminate the folding couches? I assume you never used or needed them?

Whenever someone asks about cleaning odd "things" I usually recommend WD40. You'd be surprised what all it will clean. ;)

Dane, That's the thing tho, the 3 hoses that hang down do not have valves on them. They are just the end of a hose. I do know that one of the valves in the UDC will open the LPD for what I assume is the cold water side. I have no clue what the other valve does, and everyone tells me that it is...

All three of them are white. :(

Interesting, and it makes sense. I have yet to find a way to drain the hot water though.

None that I can find Dane. It all looks like it should, so if he did, he did a really clean job of it. I did find a black hose that appears to have a cap on the end of it that hangs down right where the large waste drain comes through the coroplast, but honestly I'm scared to pull that cap off...

Hey gang, I know, my best friend is the search tool. But I've tried using it for days now to no avail. So here's my question. I've got a 2008 Cyclone 4012 and I can NOT find the fresh water drain. The only way I know to drain the fresh water tank is to use the pump and drain it out the LPD of...

Thanks Porthole, interesting read.

Yeah, it didn't seem to matter if I primed it first or not. It still did the same thing. I just figured "okay fine, do this procedure, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes and try again", worked every time so I just went with it. Sometimes you have to let the thing tell you how it will work and just...

No clue on the codes. Don't know where to look for them, or have anything that would read them if it did. Anyways, the end result was, with the new Chinese carb from the Amazonians it ran all day long on Thursday, probably about 8 hours, then fired up again Friday and ran for another 12 hours...

Okay guys, new problem. I put a new carb on it and it fired up. Ran it for about 10 minutes, no problems at all. Shut it down and now it won't fire back up. It will light off, but as soon as you turn loose of the start button it dies. Edit - Okay, I let it sit for 10-15 minutes and it fired...

Yeah, the struggle there is getting non-ethanol fuel. We certainly don't have an abundance of sources, and the one place that we did have is currently under construction and they made it where you can't tow a trailer in to the pump.

Yeah, I'd love to see some pics of the housing mod, just as general FYI.

What's the process on that? Does it now run off the same bottles as the fridge/oven?

Yup, I know it has spark because like I said below, I can make it run on starter fluid just fine. But as soon as the starter fluid runs out, she dies. And I know I'm getting fuel in the float bowl too. I verified that by pulling the bowl off, hooking the fuel line up and running the "Prime" pump...

Yeah, the bowl was stained green on the inside and the fuel was also kind of green colored. Not sure if it had some odd fuel stabilizer that tinted it green, or if it was some sort of algae growing in it. The wife pulled rank and ordered a new carb off Amazon, so we'll see what happens when...

Thanks Chrisandsama, So I finally got it to fill the float bowl with fuel, but it still won't run. I can verify that the "Prmie" button is pumping fuel into the bowl and out the bottom screw at the little drain. So the bowl is full. But it still won't run. I can still make it run for a bit off...

Hey guys, Figured I'd better fire up the generator before our big outing this week. Wouldn't you know it, it won't run. :( I put fuel in the tank until it was about 3/4 full. I read somewhere that the generator won't run if it is below 1/4 tank, so that was the first move. So she's got fuel in...

Okay, so I meant to post this earlier. Finally got up on the roof last Sunday, in the blazing heat. Holy Jeebus we seem to go from non-stop rain to inferno around here. so here's what I found - I took the top off the unit and there was maybe a small hand full of leaves in there, lots of dust...

From everything I've read, if the AC unit is pulling air from the vent, then the roof fan would also do the same. My unit has one of those automatic fans in the main living area. I've run that fan with no windows open or anything and had no issues with the odor. The main ducted AC unit in teh...

Okay, that's a pretty interesting response. :( I'll see if I can figure that out.

Okay gang, I think I posted this one last year when I first purchased our unit. But I need to revise this one because it has come time to actually do the heavy lifting here. I've got a 5 day long stint planned at the NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways and that AC is gonna be important...

There are two small black antennas on the roof, maybe 6" tall. They are no bigger than the antennas on my walkie-talkies. I assume one is for the unit n the storage compartment and one is for the unit inside. I also assume there's some sort of cable/wire running to them inside the wall somewhere.

Interesting. I assume you do that at a camp site that has a hookup? The rest area dump stations never have a hose with a connection, and the one we stopped at this past weekend didn't even have a hose that worked. :(

Yeah, 9 times out of 10 we camp at our family property out on the Washington coast, and there is no service there. We have to drive about 15 minutes up the road just to get a signal. Part of why my wife likes it there, lol!

Hey gang, Curious to see what some of you are doing or have done regarding better FM reception. Yes, I'm also aware that a ton of you are gonna say "Just get a XM/Satellite radio", but I don't have the money to swap out the stereo for an XM unit, so let's stick to the FM setups here. I've read...

Tank Flusher? :confused:

Thanks Dane, I figured that the sensor in the sewage tank is useless. Having had a previous smaller toy hauler we learned that toilet paper renders them useless in a matter of time. Our old one said it was full all the time too. But the grey tanks had me baffled. So here's another question for...

Hey gang, So I have several questions regarding the monitor panel on my '08 4012. Keep in mind we purchased this unit used and have very little experience with it and got zero demo of anything on it, so everything is trial by error for us here. The panel looks like this (except mine is black) -...

So I've tied my awning down, and I've left it untied. I use two large corkscrew stakes for dog leash stakes (got 'em at the pet store) screwed into the ground under the awning arm end points and then just run a ratchet strap from the awning down to the stakes. I try to be gentle when ratcheting...

So just to throw a couple wrenches in here, mostly to educate myself: So is there an ideal measurement we should be looking for? 7"? 8"? Is the measurement from top of bed rail to bottom of 5er body more important than the amount of "nose-up" rake in the overall trailer? How much do you guys...

Very nice, very clean. Thanks for posting.

I get what you're saying. I guess I'd rather just have that stock look. Rarely do I ever need on the roof, but I don't like the way it looks with it missing.

Is there a place I can buy a replacement ladder for my 2008 Cyclone 4012? It was MIA when I purchased the unit. Clearly the former owner hung it on something.

Anyone done an outdoor tv mount on a 2008 Cyclone 4012? I'm just kind of looking at ideas for how to go about it, where to put it, how it would look and how it would function.

Thank you sir!

It's not a full Rockford-Fosgate system. It's just the Punch speaker setup. See the images in this brochure - https://www.uvsconsole.com/manager/admin/cp-brochures/122531886956137.pdf That's the same setup I have as shown in the images on page 2. Mine has that exact same tv, exact same stereo...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram that might show the Rockford Fosgate Punch surround sound system as used on the 2008 Cyclone? My unit came with this setup and I'd like to find a wiring diagram that shows how the surround sound system connects to the DVD player and/or CD player, and then how...

Okay, so update, just for those coming along after me..... So I took the wife out last night and had her flip the tiny red rocker switch on the control panel while I stood outside next to the water heater with the cover off. Low and behold, the igniter started trying to light. So yay me, it...
