    ATF: Cyclone - Electrical Issue

    forgot to mention the first time nothing was running, then we put the system on. When we lost the tv's, nothing was running and nothing was tripped. The third tv he was watching when it went, but microwave didnt go. Since EMS system wasnt tripped it makes it seem to be a problem AFTER this...

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    considering this is the second set of appliances blown, the same set, and that the tech ONLY examined what he could do at the campground site, They should do more. They should bring it in for a closer inspection. The tech did find loose wires under the slide out that he repaired, but he felt...

    General question about forum usage

    If a poster states they are having a certain problem with their camper.. Are we not allowed to post a response saying we have the same thing and refer them to our thread on our problems by providing a link to it? Is this considered "duplicate" posting? Tammy

    update: Spoke with Anthony of heartland,, and he states since tech didnt find the problem on site at the campground...nothing was found, and if appliances get blown a 3rd time like tech feels will continue doing, Heartland will still NOT pay nor honor warranty coverage if they dont find the...

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    Well now, I didnt think to look at that on the sticker before, but it says it was manufactured 6/28/2012. We purchased it around Sept 2012. It is a 2013 model.It appears it was only almost 3 months old when we bought it. Someone mentioned on here it looks like it had been re-caulked. So we are...

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    it was there for a month. We picked it up about 3 weeks ago. I doubt they would admit damaging it now if that occurred. i tried to look it over when we picked it up. danemayer, thanks for your input.I will let my husband read this, and he can check it out more thoroughly this weekend. Tammy

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    There is actually a slight separation of the caulk from the unit on the bottom.We just found that. But I doubt that would allow water to run back up inside. It has NEVER been damaged, or hit anything. we had a Holiday Rambler for over 10 yrs that never did this.

    Why NOT to buy a HEARTLAND RV? This is a 2013, and now we have even more problems. Water is running out from the INSIDE of the camper. While facing the hitch it is pouring out from the right corner when the end is raised. When will this nightmare end????????????? http://youtu.be/LtR4INtvoVY

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    We did not switch to generator. campground will not allow. You could be right, I am not an electrician. The smell was only at the time the appliances burnt up. The tech is the owner of the rv repair. He did not remove affected outlets, but he and my husband both plugged a meter into each...

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    The tech was there for about 3 hrs. he opened the back of the breaker box and checked the wires there. He jerked around on the wires some. He crawled inside the compartment to check wiring near the central vac. He also plugged in a meter into the microwave outlet (one appliance that was blown)...

    We never checked the appliances. we didnt have time since Holman rv had it a month and we were leaving a day later. But we checked serial numbers and the items had been replaced.and holman swears they were and were working. I dont think they were lying.

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    I just heard from Anthony at heartland. He said since the tech did not find anything, also did not find anything wrong on our part, nor a power surge from the pedestal, that Heartland is NOT going to cover the loss of my appliances the SECOND time. And even tho the service center said they could...

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    The tech from a local RV repair came to the campground to check our camper. The only thing he found was loose wiring in a junction box under the slide. A ground wire, and another wire was completely loose. he fixed this, but said he didnt think this was the problem. He said it could have, but he...

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    Well I misunderstood what he was saying, again. He said it didnt work like the holiday rambler, and i assumed he meant it didnt lock, but when I was telling him about the responses here, he quickly corrected me. He said it DOES lock, but extremely HARD. He said he had to shove it in really hard...

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    I dont know if this is normal or not, as our holiday rambler, you had to plug in the power cord to the camper and then TURN it. This 2013 Cyclone 3110 does not turn, just plugs straight in. Could that be the problem? we purchased and tested with a volt meter, a plug in check thing that says it...

    Ron another probelm we brought into repair was our 5500 watt Cummins /Onan generator. It had a crack in the block and was blowing oil. The dealer said Onan wanted to just repair it, but the dealer talked them into replacing the whole generator. We tried it out today and it seemed to run OK. We...

    I feel the same way as you. these wiring issues need to be taken very seriously. My husband said he hasnt found any loose wires yet, but we still dont know whats going on. I know when we go to bed at night and turn on the air, I can hear a cracking noice near the bedroom ac unit.It happens...

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    I would think anything plugged in could be damaged by a power surge whether on or not, but I am not an electrician. I plugged a clock into bedroom tv outlet and it works, not the tv.The first time at the beach, both air conditioners were running, but same 3 effected but not turned on. No one was...

    ATF: Cyclone - Repeated Blown Appliances

    Let me clarify. the wired in one was around $300, the other one on the pedestal was another approx $100. The first time at the beach, there were no tripped breakers. Techs also checked the pedestal and it checked OK. This last time, again no tripped breakers anywhere. Pedestal surge protector...

    We took the camper to Holman's for repairs. Now we are told the transfer switch was on recall ,however we were never notified. They also said the switch was bad and was going to replace it under warranty. However they tell us that the Progressive Dynamic switch can NOT cause an "open neutral" as...

    Towmax Tire Warranty???

    Our Powerking Towmax also failed after a couple of trips. No warranty coverage here either Huey. My husband also mentioned the weight of these tires are half that of a Good year. With all the failures they have to be over stating a max weight load on these things. They just do not hold up on our...

    Tires That come w the new Cyclone 3010

    He always averages about 62 mph interstate, and pressure was 80 lbs. He checked them just before leaving and they were 78, and he pumped them up to 80. Never hit anything. he has been looking at 17.5 wheels but that is a huge expense when we just bought the camper. Heartland knows from reading...
