    Battery Management

    I just read the 'refer on' thread and again noted several people monitoring and adding distilled water to their batteries. We've had our rig nearly continuously plugged in since May of 2011 (and in near constant use). I finally added a small amount of water in December of 2011 and am just...

    Rating Cyclones for Full Time Use?

    We're one of the 5 Cyclones here at the National Rally, surrounded by BigHorns & Landmarks. There are few, if any, differences in materials or construction details between our Cyclone and the units that are rated for full time use. It seems possible that Cyclones could be readily approved for...

    Upgrading to LT tires?

    Seasons' Greetings Everyone! I was planning to upgrade the tires on our 2011 Cyclone 3812 from the original ST235-80R16's to LT's. Back in August around 10,000 miles we had a blow-out on the freeway. We stopped at the next town to get a spare and I bought an LT235-85R16. I could not get an...

    Excellent Service support from Heartland!

    We had a problem with the co-ax wiring in our 2011 3812. Our out of state dealer advised us that Heartland was taking the lead on warranty issues and it would be best to contact them directly. I talked to David Hilliker back in July. He is the service rep for our district. We were on an extended...

    DVR Options?

    We bought the DISH VIP211K receiver from CW for about $138. The box and instructions indicate you can add an external hard drive if you want to record tv shows. We finally bought a hard drive and set it up. There was a one-time charge of $42.50 but no further monthly fee. We can now record a...

    Looking for Cyclone Service Center in South Ontario- locator not good with CDN postal codes

    Can anyone help me identify an approved Cyclone Service Center in South Ontario? The Kingston area would be handy, but a location as far west as London would be okay. We're going to be on a trip in late September (flying out of Toronto) and I'm hoping to leave our 3812 for warranty work on the...

    Best way to weight rig and get pin weight?

    Does anybody have a good way to come up with the pin weight for a given load? I guess the big truck scales can do my entire rig, and then I can weigh just the truck. Then what? Do I get a weight with just the trailer axles on the scale and work it out from there?

    Sleeping in the garage in Las Vegas heat

    Someone was wondering whether they should install a 3rd AC since they were planning some hot weather camping with people sleeping in the garage. We just spent our 2nd night in Las Vegas in our 3812. We have the optional 2nd AC and with both units running flat out and all doors open we got the...

    Garage Door not fully closing, any ideas?

    I've noticed I can see a bit of daylight for about 3 feet of one side and maybe 1 foot horizontally at one top corner. It seems like the rubber has a lot of friction and it just stops moving in when I close the latch. It's happening on the driver side regardless of which latch I close first. It...

    Added Dish Receiver Shelf to our 3812

    We acquired a Dish Network receiver and found that the shelves above the TV aren't deep enough to hold it. We had to set it up and tear it down every time we moved, until one of our sons with some wood tools set us up with a new shelf that protrudes through a new opening at the top of our TV...

    Cable, Satellite & Antenna wiring diagram for 2011 3812

    Hi Folks, We are the proud owners of VIN 5SFCG4139BE219390. Sorry if it's already posted here, but I've looked around and can't find a diagram to help me decipher what the various connections are. I saw one for a different model, earlier year and it does not show all our connections. Can...
