    Ladder for the top bunk in garage

    I too decided to go with the Step Stool. I did get a steel ladder but the kids said it was no go so one time I grabbed a step stool from Home Depot and let them try that out... and they preferred that, especially my daughter and daughter-inlaw, the boys still JUMP down off the top bunk. This...

    Garage to Office Conversion -

    cdensomnia, No updates to speak of really, the desk worked out really well, I still need to run the dedicated power but for now I have it powered from the outlet above. If I had more space ( like you do ) I would have made it slightly wider to allow for larger monitors since at 48 inches...

    That is great Marcus looking forward to camping again. Camping for me is over until March officially as I have pulled the hitch out of the bed of the truck and loaded the bed with sandbags for the winter, spring can not get here soon enough for me!

    Welcome to the "Club" Marcus, You should hear back from them, I know they were planning on a very busy fall, doing upgrades and adding sewer to a number of sites before the Freeze along with all the other post season work/repairs that have to happen. It may take them a few weeks to get back...

    Fulltimer Going on Vacation - Question.....

    I was thinking the same as Dave. When I park my rig for weeks at a time at home, it is powered, slides out awning in and in the heat of the summer - AC is on ( set to 80 deg ) to keep the moisture under control. I only shut it down in the winter when I have it winterized. during the season...

    Got Solar Panels installed

    Re: Got it in stalled Very Nice - Where did you get the Peel and Stick Photovoltaic sheets? And did you add a separate Set of Batteries for this or are you using the Solar to charge the main battery?

    Dumb question

    I believe that the new Rigs are comming with the digital version of the Batwing Antenna I upgraded my head to the wingard digital head two years ago at the National Rally and although it did improve my reception some it was not mind blowing. I still may get the Jack Head as a replacement for...

    Garage Door - replacement

    Well here is an update on the Ramp door replacement. Lippert after discussing the damage that was inflicted on the door has agreed that getting it repaired is the best option. but of course to get it to a dealer for repair I first need to install the door. So now that I'm home for a few days...

    FIXED: Woke up this morning to cold water!

    Re: Woke up this morning to cold water! Thanks Dan, I did look closely at that, thinking that might be the issue, but it looks like my area has been dry. no indication of any water staining or swelling. I just hope that I never have to remove the dam unit... it will be a ton of fun I can...

    FIXED: Woke up this morning to cold water!

    Re: Woke up this morning to cold water! Jim, Thank you for the sage advice, but I am afraid that the unit is not removable. It appears that it was installed from the inside as it will not fit out the hole due to the insulation that it is wrapped in. I spoke to HL service and they...

    Running the Water Heater off the Generator?

    Ok - I have taken my Dummy hat off once again and realized that I should check the breakers on the Genny - one side of the 220 was off... so that would be the side that the water heater is on ... all is well now ... Off Boon-docking now Nothing to see here - move on ... LOL!! Kevin

    Running the Water Heater off the Generator?

    All, If you have followed my resent posts you know that my WH Stopped working on Gas ( my normal way of using it ) and I am now awaiting parts but was planning on going Boondocking for a few days. SO I fired up the Generator and tested to verify that it would handle the 9-10amp draw for the...

    FIXED: Woke up this morning to cold water!

    Re: Woke up this morning to cold water! John Just to be clear on what your issue was. We're you getting spark from the DSI electrode. As I look at the basic wiring diagram, if the hi-limit is dead you should not get any power to the board. This would not allow for the DSI to function. Am...

    Attention Ground Control owners

    If your rig is set up like my Cyclone, you should be able to remove the forward wall in the basement and have very good access to the landing gear area. I just replaced my landing gear again - sorry to say I'm getting too good at it. Kevin

    Re: Woke up this morning to cold water! Well - I attempted to get to the Control board on my Suburban SW12DE. It turns out it is on the far side of the WH on my cyclone. In other words not accessible. I will be calling Heartland tomorrow to see what they recommend. but it appears the only...

    FIXED: Woke up this morning to cold water!

    Evening all, I woke up this morning to a cold shower since my HW Heater stopped working. I did all the basic verifications, 12V was good, Gas was flowing ( stove and Heater were working fine ) I could hear the DSI Firing but no ignition. I went about my day and this afternoon pulled...

    Water pressure . . . water filter . . . and water regulator question?

    All very good advice. I personally have a dual filter system one with a paper filter 10mic and the second is a charcoal filter ( I think 2mic ) both filters can be independently bypassed depending on the quality of the water in. I also have a pressure gauge before and after the filters ( this...

    ATF: Cyclone - sewer

    Bunker, I assume that you have a blue streak dispenser, I have had one of them installed for 3 seasons now and it works flawlessly, the only thing I could think of is if the siphon Tee was installed backwards, that could cause issues, There is an arrow on the Tee and of course it should...

    Switch / Command area

    In the Cyclone it is a little better but it is also behind a door for esthetics. But that acuatlly makes turning the lights on more difficult. I simply moved all of the light switches to a common area at a standard height and used home switches rather than the small rocker switches...

    Garage Door - replacement

    Duane, It was noted with the delivery company ( the driver actually pointed out the damaged shipping container ). It did not appear when I look at first that the damage had breached the all of the foam insulation but in fact it had. I did take photos in the presence of the driver and...

    Landing Gear - failed for the second time in 3 years. looking for options

    Duane, no the dual motor eliminates the cross bar since the motors are independently controlled. Although, I was/am looking at a wiring that may use a relay to power both motors at the same time, the issue of why the MFG says each motor requires it's own switch is because of the current...

    Erica and Tony, Thank you for starting the process that in the end provided me with the extra parts to go dual motor when combined with Duane's original Motor... I'm hoping to get the project completed this winter ( the complete rebuild of my old lead leg ) and marry the all the parts for a...

    Landing Gear - failed for the second time in 3 years. looking for options

    Well I thought I would provide an update to my saga of Lippert Landing gear on my 2010 Cyclone 3010; My rebuild ended up failing within weeks of completing. I have not determined yet what caused the secondary failure and I only today replaced the lead leg with one I got from Jammie Walker (...

    Garage Door - replacement

    Bill, It most definitely did make me pause. as a matter of fact I placed the original order as a "pickup" because I have a friend who drives OTR - but his schedule would not permit him picking this up for me. It would have been cheaper for me to drive out, but that did not take into...

    Garage Door - replacement

    Well after completing the unpacking of the door, it appears that there is some damage to the door the surface if the door is gouged. I will contact Lippert tomorrow to see what the next step is and circle back on the gasket too. I also realized after getting the door out that the HW for...

    New Member and New Camper - Looking for advice on Converter issue

    Joel, One thing you can do is disconnect the ground from the battery and then measure across the ground wire ( not the battery ) and the positive side ( still attached to the battery ) with a digital volt meter to see if your converter is working. If you have 12 volts then you have a...

    Cyclone 3010 Slide out maintenance

    I have a 2010 Cyclone 3010 and have never done anything to my Slides with regards to grease in anyway. I got to thinking about what I should be doing if anything when my DC breaker started to trip when moving the Kitchen slide in. I could find nothing that speaks to this in any paperwork...

    ATF: Cyclone - Loading ramp failure

    so as I sit here waiting for my new door to arrive, I will express what was told to me by Lippert. From what they could tell, my door had suffered some kind of water infiltration causing the door to delaminate. With the new design that was put in place in 2010 this was not a concern for...

    50amp Breaker Randomly Tripping

    Replace the 50Amp main Breaker. Go to Home Depot and pick up a new one. I'd power the Rig Down and pop the breaker and get the model and MFG off of the one installed. so you can get the right one from HD so it will fit the space and the power distribution of the box. ( there are different...
