Really? C'mon... Not even a smart remark? Does Heartland have anything to say about it?

Not Beyoncé!!! Beyond!!! How is that even in the auto-correct library?!!

It might be low-tech, but it works great! One of my 90 deg. hot water connections broke. If you go to Home Depot, don't bother asking anyone because they have no clue about their inventory. Find a 2 brass male air nipples and a brass 90 deg. with matching threads and 2 appropriately sized...

This thread is a bit old, but worth a try... Has anyone changed the orientation of the bed? It's a hassle to get in an out of. As an example of what I'm trying to do, if you've seen the layout of the Voltage 3950, that's what I'd like if possible.

We full-time in a 2009 Cyclone 3950. When we bought this thing, I asked and was told by the dealer that the flooring was 1 inch marine plywood. To sell that, he showed us the slide-out area from the outside. As a new buyer, what else was I supposed to think? We moved to Houston and after 8...

Just finished pulling my 2009 cyclone 3950 with a 1995 F-350 DRW (E40D), and wow... From the stoplights, I could watch the fuel gauge go down. Once I got up to speed, it did just fine.

Nope, they are not secured. Be glad, because when you lose something behind it, that's the only way to get it out. The ends (LH,RH) come out first, then the middle. When you start having water leaks, this comes in handy too. A good fungicide tends to prevent mold. Removing the carpet...

Yeah, I had the same problem when the 45degree connector on my hot water line blew out, and when the hose connected to the faucet end broke. Better kill the breakers on your utility pole first. Likely to get zapped with 240vac if you mess with the interior breakers before those.

And after almost a year of constant use, it is still running great!

Thank you, Dane!

3950 cyclone The fridge drain crumbled to nothing and has been allowing water to disintegrate the floor by the slide out. This took me a while to trace. Any thoughts on how to fix this without shop time? We are full timing and don't have any other option than to fix it in place.

Well, it's been a year of rv'ing here in Houston. Almost Heaven RV Park in Manvel has been a great place for us. I have started my career as a Diver/Tender and have no complaints with this living arrangement.

Thanks for the replies folks :) I looked these sites up, but no real reviews from any residents... Has anyone actually stayed at any of the parks there?

Hello fellow full-timers! I'd like to ask for some recommendations in regard to the topic above. Are there any other divers in this forum?

Western wagon, We've been at it for 7 months now. You're going to love it! Make sure to video the walk-thru at the dealer. You'll likely forget something that isn't explained well in the manual.

I honestly haven't smelled anything this bad since I worked in the Lawton sewers. Despite regular cleaning of the tank (chemicals), every time we dump the tank, it's like chemical warfare is in progress. A few months back, I tried to install one of those cheesy Cyclone Vents from PPL... To...

Ditto on Ann's comment, Richard. The owners manual seems to be more of a disclaimer than usable info. Maybe Richard should start a series similar to Haynes? :)

On that illuminated red switch, when it's on, we have hot water along with hot air being pushed out from a vent in the kitchen area. I'm starting to wonder if it isn't emergency heat? It for sure keeps the ac on and the electric bill high. P.s. I did check the 'manual' that came with my...

After hearing this stuff... Maybe safety-wiring would be a good fix?

2009 cyclone 3950 water leak in bedroom due to bad front cap install. Not sure if the previous owner did this or if it was factory.

Just an update... I wound up having to tear out the control board. Tracing the freeze up connection on the board back to the relay, unsoldering it and tearing the relay apart, found it to be stuck in the open position. I cleaned up the contacts and put some electrical lubricant on there for...

Thanks Jimtoo! That what it was. Much appreciated!

I have a similar problem with mine as well, except it isn't dripping inside. Even when we have the ac off, the compressor cycles until it freezes up. I popped off the top cover and didn't see anything amiss, even under the cover for the compressor. It didn't do this when running from the...

We made it from fort worth to Manvel yesterday evening and were coThis is our first time out and we are starting out as full-timers. Sure enough, we thought we had everything and wound up having to make the trip to Walmart.We needed a drinking water hose and a sewer kit (that smell came out of...

Dangit, I thought I was being original this morning... Missed it by a year....

I'd love to know how often the Police pull trailers over. Over the past 20 years of driving in Texas, I've never seen that happen. I'll just go grab some 4500 doors ;) Jasons09Cyclone has been doing it with a slightly modified F250 for the past 4 years without any problem. Looks like the...

I just wanted to thank you for your recommendation. We bought the queen size for the happi jak and weighed in at 77 lbs. The max says 300 lbs, but the tech said it was more like 250. It doesn't fit perfectly, but that's a good thing as it allows room for our daughter to lay her assorted...

Funny thing, I was just thinking the same thing when I saw your post. http://electronics.pricegrabber.com/av-accessories/Draper-Key-Operated-Switch/m775548372.html This is just a thought... A bit too much for me though.

I was thinking about chrome tubing from the base to the ceiling spaced about a foot apart around the curves. That'll keep the kiddos from rolling off and add some support for the roof as well.

We finally bought our 3950 on the 10th of this month. The futon idea for the happy jack bed fits the bill and actually costs less than the standard foam from Indiana. We're still having a problem finding replacements for the double loft though. We will be leaving soon and the shipping costs...

Jim, My parents always said I was 'special'. Somehow I always knew it was an inside joke ;P Thank you.

How many BTU's does the furnace put out? I've searched the forum and google, but there is no mention of that... only sites trying to sell me a 2012 Cyclone 3950. How many amps to run the fan to push that heat through?

Your are a Gentleman and a Scholar, Sir and/or Ma'am! Thank you very much!

SJH, Thank you! I found a YouTube video that shows what can be done with the 12V LED replacements. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4HNZ22Eigo You just answered the question that's been bugging me. I take it that the batteries are constantly charging when on shore power or using the genny...

I thought the LED's were supposed to run cool... As I'm looking at those for replacements, how does the lighting system in the trailer work? Is it 110vac, or 12vdc? Is a converter used for the big items like Fridge, TV, AC? I can't seem to find this info in any of the posts, and no, I...

Really like the Colt, but as budgets go... I have the Hi-point .45 Please don't laugh... It does what it's supposed to do.

I'm getting to this thread a bit late. Did the futon mattress leave them enough room to move around? I was going to ask if anyone could suggest a good foam one for my 12yr old boys, and teenage daughter. I just don't want them getting the back problems that I have. We will be full-timing it...

Oh, one more question... what really determines the max pin weight that the truck can handle? I understand that the frame on the dodge 2500-4500 is the same. Is it just the suspension? A different tranny? They all have the same engine, so.... I'm not really a big 'fan' of blown or bent...

Hello All! I've seen this discussion a lot lately. It seems to be a toss-up between the Ford 450 and the Dodge 3500 DRW's. We've made up our mind on the 3950 and that's what we are getting soon. Without a good tow vehicle, that RV is just going to be sitting in the dealers lot. Supposing we...

Jim, For a first RV Show, that was great! They did have some Cyclones and one of them was a 3950. Strangely, they were the only ones with them there. Even though it wasn't what we were looking for, it was good to actually lay-hands on the trailers instead of just watching the youtube videos.
