    Water Heater Issues

    John, BINGO! I don't know how I never noticed that little switch below the level indicators. for some reason my mind had it made up that the only switches there were the pump and the status rocker. But there it is, the little red switch with the tiny red light, just like yours - I'll need to...

    Water Heater Issues

    Interesting Dane, So you are saying that the small switch outside behind the heater outer cover shuts the heater off totally, regardless of it being in either propane or electric mode? I thought from reading the troubleshooting manual that it was the mode selector switch. I do have a wall...

    Water Heater Issues

    Just for comparison, because everyone tells me my UDS is odd. Here is a pic of what I have on my unit (Note that this is not my actual unit, but is plumbed the exact same. Mine has black hoses instead of blue and all of my stickers saying what does what are long gone) - I have determined that...

    Water Heater Issues

    I never flipped the hot water bypass, so I assume it was not in bypass mode. Honestly, I'm not sure which one my hot water bypass even is. My UDS doesn't look like all of the pictures I see out there, and since I bought it used nobody explained how anything on it works. But I can tell you this...

    Water Heater Issues

    Hey gang, I'll be digging through the water heater troubleshooting posts and links to try and find something that will help me. But I figured I'd throw this out there for the collective knowledge, maybe someone has some advice here. We took the unit out in October for a weekend getaway at our...

    Odd Bracket - Thoughts?

    Beer cam, hadn't considered that! :D Yeah, I thought about pulling it off, but then I've got 2 small holes in my ceiling from the mounting screws. I hate holes. I know it isn't the factory smoke detector, that is still on the ceiling over near the front door. Oh well, some day I'll probably...

    Renting Your RV

    All good thoughts guys, appreciate the comments. It seems like you can find as many stories of success as you can thoughts of how horribly wrong it could go. I know the rental program companies claim to have insurance programs that cover any issues such as crashes or the like. But the whole...

    Odd Bracket - Thoughts?

    Hey gang, My 2008 Cyclone 4012 has this odd looking bracket on the kitchen ceiling, kind of "in front of" the fridge. Any idea what once lived in it? I'm sure someone has seen this bracket somewhere, no?

    Renting Your RV

    Anyone ever do one of those "RVshare" or "Outdoorsy" type deals where you rent your RV out, kinda like an RV AirBnB? I'm just curious what the actual realities of it are vs the picture perfect realities they show online. Also wondering what the reality of a 41' toyhauler would be. Kinda limited...

    Universal Docking Center Valves - Help?

    Nope, they are not. The sewer tank drain valve handles are inside a separate door just to the "rear" of the main UDC - - - - Updated - - - Yeah, the switch will run the pump no problem. You can hear it run and I used it to drain the fresh tank out the low point drain. Great idea, I hadn't...

    Universal Docking Center Valves - Help?

    Hey guys, So my unit is a 2008 Cyclone 4012 that we purchased used, from a small lot, with no intro to the systems or anything. It has a UDC that looks EXACTLY like this - The biggest thing to note is that mine has NO stickers on it to say what does what. None, not a single sticker is left...

    Understanding RCA Jacks

    I don't. But I know there is a Midi port and an HDMI, along with rca jacks for the surround sound as mentioned below. And of course a cable in.

    Understanding RCA Jacks

    Just to follow up on this, here are some photos of my setup. First, the entertainment center - This is the jack panel behind the TV - One thing I noticed is that the TV has input jacks for "Red Front", "Red Rear", "White Front" and "White Rear". But there is no input on the TV for the yellow...

    Understanding RCA Jacks

    Thanks for the input Dane. All good points. Mine appears to still have the stock TV, the rest is a crap shoot. I can tell you it looks like this image - I know, that doesn't help much. I really need to snap a few shots of it close up and behind the TV as well. It was also late last night when I...

    Understanding RCA Jacks

    So, this may sound like a retarded question, and that's fine with me. We got our Cyclone used, so there was no "Here's how everything works" demo or anything and most of the manuals we got were not necessarily for equipment in our RV. for example, I have about 5 different CD player manuals, none...

    Suggestions On Audio System(s) Replacements

    Thanks for the input guys. So basically they are just plain old car stereo units, nothing special about them? I'm a little concerned about the wiring being compatible, but I guess I'd need to crack it open before I'll know how it's wired huh? The one in the entertainment center is the one that...

    Suggestions On Audio System(s) Replacements

    Anyone? I'm looking for some advice on what units would be an easy swap for the stock heads in both the interior entertainment system as well as the pass-thru storage area here. Pretty sure the interior unit is a Jensen. No clue on the pass-thru unit since it's missing some face pieces and...

    Wall Straps?

    So what straps do you use with them, and how do you fasten the straps to the hooks?

    Wall Straps?

    Hey guys, I have a Heartland Cyclone, it has some little straps to hold the dinette table to the wall in the garage area when traveling. I'd like some more of those straps for other tables and such that I'd like to secure to the wall while traveling as well. Where do I get them? What are they...

    Winterizing/Sanitizing - When?

    Thanks guys, appreciate the input. We're in Western Washington, so it doesn't get crazy cold, but occasionally can get just below freezing for a few days here and there. My last rv (2005 R-Vision R-Wagon 291) we never really "winterized" it. We'd just leave a heater inside it. But all the...

    Winterizing/Sanitizing - When?

    Hey gang, Looking for some general input on when you guys winterize your units. We tend to go camping more in the September through February months because that's when my racing season is over. Should I be worrying about winterizing it between each outing during that time? Or should i just be...

    Suggestions On Audio System(s) Replacements

    Hey gang, Wife and I just purchased a used 2008 Cyclone 4012. During our first real use of it we found out that the stereo in the main entertainment center has some issues. While the AM/FM part worked great and was able to pick up stations that others parked next to us couldn't, when I tried to...

    Cyclone Side Panel Bubble

    Hey gang, Wife and I purchased a used 2008 Cyclone 4012. After our first weekend with it my father-in-law noticed a bubble in the side panel, like the outer skin had de-laminated or something. I simply didn't spot it during our purchasing process. He says it is an indication of a water leak in...

    Cyclone 4012 Ladder

    Hey gang, As stated in other posts, we purchased a used 2008 Cyclone 4012. The previous owner managed to rip the ladder off the driver's side. Is there a place we can purchase a replacement ladder and the ladder mounts and do it ourself? Or is this something we have to take it to a repair guy for?

    Cyclone Electric Bunk Operation

    Hey guys, So our 2008 Cyclone has the electric bunks in the garage area. Easy enough to raise and lower, but what I can't seem to figure out is how to pin the top bunk so it stays up and only the bottom bunk lowers. Here's my questions: Does anyone have a picture, or diagram, or anything that...

    New Owner

    Hey guys, The wife and I just purchased a used 2008 Cyclone 4012. Beautiful trailer, loving it. Planning on taking it out for the holiday weekend. We purchased it from a very small sales lot and they really didn't do a demo of any of the systems, it was more "As you can see everything works", so...
