High Dollar! Kidding of course, but not wrong...

It would appear Dave just fixed the profile in question but did not answer the question... I too an trying to update my profile but cannot find any way to do that... The questions remains "How do I update my profile?" I created it to begin with. Changed it when I needed to. Now it appears that...

We have been full timing in our Cyclone 3800 almost 5 years. The coach is almost 8 year old. Thinking about a new one soon to continue this lifestyle...

We purchased a "Trident Protection Package" when we bought our coach new from Big Country RV in 2011. We had occasion to utilize the program as the front cap had faded badly. Trident came through and paid to have the cap repainted. The rest o the coach is still in really good shape and still...

We are leaving from Northern Idaho on June 10th and returning late August or early September. Perhaps we will see you around the camp fire!

I tried researching this forum but was unable to find the answer to my question. Is it normal for the lights to get noticeably brighter when the converter kicks in? I have checked the condition of the batteries as well the terminals. All is in good order. The coach has done this since it was...

X2 I believe you will get better results from an independent repair facility. BTW, I did stop at the factory to get a couple of things done. I was referred to an independent repair shop not too far from the factory. They took care of the issues and we were on or way. We also toured the factory...

Looks like you could use a good cabinetmaker!

If your TH as a "Beaver Tail" don't forget to take that height difference into consideration. I was worried our Kawasaki Tyrex 4 wouldn't fit but the rear tires ride on the Beaver Tail which gives me an additional couple of inches clearance.

We bought our Heartland Cyclone 3800 new from the Factory. We have had issues with it from the PDI through the next 4 years. Fortunately we too purchased an extended Warranty from Trident. They have been excellent to work with. Had to negotiate on the decals after the front cap faded but they...

DW and I took our TH to the east Coast in search of Fall colors. On our trip we logged 10,576 miles. We had budgeted $5K for fuel. With fuel prices on the decline we are happy to report we only spent about half. Diesel prices have continued drop. I paid $1.67/Gallon in Yuma this week. Gasoline...

We had the same issue with a different thermostat (Dometic). When cycling through the settings find the AUX mode. That should allow the furnace to run without the AC unit running.

Thanks for sharing... While disassembling the system to facilitate repairs we found kinked vent lines and failed structural members. I contend the tank supports are grossly inadequate, incapable of carrying the weight of a full tank of water (roughly 410 lbs) not to mention the superimposed...

While searching for the source of a foul order (dead mouse?) in our coach I discovered both fresh water tanks were falling out. The "rails" the tanks rest on are bent down in the center. The OSB (Orientated Strand Board(aka Chip Board) pad the tanks rest on between the rails is broken and...

Ring King, If you plan on passing the kayaks through the door, make sure they have somewhere to go with the slides closed

I to was concerned with the flexing that was occurring while traveling. I can see the flexing in the rearview mirror. Fearing there was some structural failure at the pin box, I pulled the skin down to gain access and inspect the frame welds. Thankfully I found no evidence of failure. Some...

We are currently connected to 30 Amp service... If the transfer switch is looking at L1 would that contribute to the problem? We have had this happen a few other times but I do not recall if we had 30 or 50 Amp service at the time...

I have noticed that the factory installed roof mounted air conditioner unit causes a short 120VAC power interruption after running for a few (2/3) hours. I does not trip any breakers but all 120 volt circuits shut down for a couple of seconds then it restores itself. There is some audible...

I'm a bit late with any input. You probably have this figured out by now. But, just in case... The aft Gray water on my 3800 drains from the forward port. Only aft black water drains out the aft port. Took me a while to figure that one out

While wintering in Arizona this winter, some evenings can be cool forcing us inside. One evening while turning of the lights I noticed the light switch was hot. This switch powers four overhead lights in the kitchen and living area. I turned off two of the lights to prevent this overheat...

Don, We tow our 2012 Cyclone 3800 with a 2011 F-450 DRW 6.7 diesel, crew cab 4X4 with 430 gears... ended up putting air bags on the truck and a 5th Airborne kingpin on the coach as we had a huge problem with "Chucking" I am finally able to smoothly pull the rig down the road. Good luck with...

While surfing another RV related forum, I stumbled on a parts list for another brand. I was wondering if Heartland has any such thing available to their customers. I tried to locate a parts list on Heartlands web page but could not find one. I know that there are a lot of models use the same...

As stated by Mr. Beletti, there is a heat duct in the garage however, all the heat is lost before it gets there. I complained to the factory (as have others) about the lack of heat in the garage. The the outside air temp at 30 degrees, I was getting 115 degree heat in the living area and only 40...

Guess I should have dug a bit deeper. There seems to be a number of us out there that have the same problem... Disregard my previous post.

I anyone experiencing color fading of the front cap? I had assumed the "Trident Protection Package" we had purchased when we bought the coach had failed. I was told by the dealership there was no need to wax the coach (therefore I didn't) after the Trident Protection System was applied This...

We had a similar problem this past spring. Everything had been workng fine then suddenly, we lost power to the microwave, upstairs tv, and a few other wierd things. Thinking the worse, we dug into the power system (fuse box) and noted we had lost a leg on the power. DW suggested to check the...

While out on our annual fall archery hunting trip, I encountered this problem. We got through the trip by a sacrificial water hoseto siphon gas out of the fuel tank. Once home I read his blog and set about fixing my fuel station. Thanks for the advice. It worked very well. Hardest part was...

Neale, I think you are on to something.... After I posted this, I went to make a reservation for a campsite in Idaho and got the same type of pop-up. I started looking at the pop-up which gave me the opportunity to drill down and then opt out... I guess it worked. Not getting the pop-up now...

It has been a while since I visted this forum and I noticed that a pop-up window appears evry time I change I pages. I do not recall this happening ever before. This pop-up hides some informion on he left side of the page and seems to be a linked to search for RV's for sale. I have not been able...

I had to go look to confirm, but our 3800 HD has an active window (a window that opens) in the 1/2 bath off of the garage. I would ask the dealer/factory why you do not have a window. The floor plan on the web page even shows one. There is no fan and frankly, I had not even concidered...

We have he same problem with our Cyclone 3800. I contributed the water infiltration to having overfilled the fresh water tank. Water got into the area under the UDC and the tool box. I cleaned up the mildew and I was very careful about filling the fresh water tank prior to our last trip. Now...

KFisher43, Just stumbled across this post. We also have a 2012 3800 and had the same issue figuring out which dump valve did what. Not sure whey the factory does not label them. Being forgetful at times I did not want to rely on a simple formula like you provided. I opted to mark the gray tank...

:mad:I have read other posts regarding no heat in the garage... We owners are trying to come up with some type of fix because the factory has not been able to. We too have experianced a lack of heat in the garage in our 2012 3800. I conducted a very simple test. With the ambient air tempreture...

I was very disappointed with the 450s sag when loaded. Ford said they lengthend the springs to soften the ride. Didn't buy a 450 for a soft ride... Our Ford Dealership helped with working the springs so my suspension is NOT factory. That said, we installed a 5th Airborne kingpin to help with the...

This seems to be an on going problem that we as owners just go ahead and fix ourselves. It is a manufacturing problem! I use similar hinges in the constuction of our product. Our hinges do NOT just pull out of the hole. Where is the factory in all of this. I know they monitor this forum. Hey...

It has been a couple of weeks... What do you think so far? We have had several warranty issues with ours. The factory has been supportive with most of the issues with the exception of the lack of heat in the garage. They say that 40 degree air exiting the heat duct in the garage is "Within...

Bd2dbone, Looks like we have the same taste in equipment except our TV is an F-450 DRW. We resolved the Satilite Receiver issue by installing a folding shelf in the opening below the TV and above the fireplace. The shelf folds into itself when not in use to allow the slide to close. Unfold the...

We have a 2012 3800 HD with the same issue. There is factory "non-skid" on the ramp however, any moisture at all makes it a very slippery slope. I too am wondering what to do about it. Most likely will go with the "Bed Liner" DIY product.

CORRECTION! Just got our coach back from some warranty work. I measured the length of the garage... It is only 11' 6" front to back. Guess I need to get my Cabinetmaker eyes recalibrated.
