We had our first Towmax incident. I know this is really beating a dead horse but I was an non-believer in the Towmax hype. I also believed it was mostly related to dual axle and not triple axle coaches (some of the dual axle coaches seem as big and heavy as our triple axel). I've seen people...

Re: power king towmax or better?? My first RV too. From tents to our Cyclone. I did my homework. So did you (based on your signature).

So many Towmax complaints with so little info. What is the date of the tire? What was the speed? What was the tire pressure? What was the weight of the vehicle? A four month old coach means nothing. It's a 4 month old coach - like built in May of this year? Or 4 months like you have had it for 4...

Coleman Roadtrip for us. Love the griddle and pot burner accessories. Griddle to sear and then move over to grill grate to finish. Not many portables can split up your grill area to do just that unless it has 2 burners.

I think I'm gonna need some new tape.

Slightly off topic but speaking of veneer tape, is that something we can purchase from Heartland? Ours is completely splitting on the very bottom of the ladder for the loft. Granted I know this is from our kids not pulling out the ladder before they climb up, I definitely want to clean it up. Or...

That's a good mod. I tried the same thing with mine and I did get more airflow on one side of the vent (closest to the new mod) but the opposite side (closest to air source) I actually got less air. Further investigation on the forum and from the Heartland User Guide on cooling and heating...

Enjoy your new Cyclone. We have the same model and year. Love it! There is some great advice here on this forum. Along with the monster list of items they will go through with you, make sure you get some good "hands on" during our walk thru. Check the stuff out for your self. Open and close...

Garage AC works well but as others have noted you can't run all three. If you do get the third, check how it is ducted. Ours is not. There are 2 ac ducts in the garage ceiling but they come from the other units. The garage AC has an awkward vent placement. One shoots out directly to the TV, the...

We had our first minor plumbing mishap this weekend in our 2014 Cyclone 3800. Went to bed after checking tank indicators (I know they are not the most accurate gauges but it gives us an idea of where we stand), my grey #2 read full. So I thought first thing in the morning I'll dump. Woke up to a...

One thing we learned was to make sure you have water in your toilet(s) and make sure you have water in the p-traps of your sinks (just run the water for a few moments if for some reason it has dried/evaporated out.) The seal on our toilet bowl in the bedroom isn't as tight as it should so any...

Gig'em Taminator! - Class of '92 here. Enjoy the Cyclone. We love ours!

Maybe you can relocate that camera to the rear brakelight in cab. The camera in the tailgate is pointless when hooking up (with tailgate down). The sensors in the bumper are enough for backing up.

Oh yeah, two other things. Number 1, It looks like the new 3800 got rid of the bathroom to bedroom door so that if you are in the main bedroom you now have to go out of your bedroom to go into the bathroom. That would be a deal killer for us. Number 2, we went with the dinette combo. We enjoy...

We just had to replace ours cause I turned the spark knob the wrong way and it broke off. $15 dollar piece for our Suburban stove top.

Allright! Someone with the same unit we have. We have had our 2014 3800 since early May. 3500 miles so far and it is AWESOME! Honestly, not one significant problem. A couple little things (had to reattach some trim in garage, change fan in bathroom cause I left vent open while traveling, a few...

Re: I don't think it's supposed to be this way Fascinated by that pic. Enlarged and brightened to help educate me on this plumbing stuff. Hopefully it can help you. Maybe someone can chime in and tell us what is going on here. Black wash inlet to vacuum breaker/anti siphon to black tank -...

Ric - what is the date of your tires? The 4 number code on the sidewall after the 7 digit numeric/letter DOT code.

Dbylinski - great idea. Thanks.

We have a 3 AC Cyclone 3800. Living room and bedroom units both have "dump" air vents that can be opened to push a large volume of air or be closed to push to air to smaller vents in respective rooms. The garage unit does not. It only has 2 vents - 1 that shoots air directly to the garage TV...

We have a 2014 Cyclone 3800. Your unmarked switch(s) in main panel is probably kitchen lights or side awning led (or could be 3 way switch if you have 3 AC's). In garage it could be a couple of things - not familiar with 4100 - could be rear awning led (not patio awning, it doesn't have led, at...

What is the procedure for getting out if someone were to fold in/close the assist handles over the door while occupants were still inside?

Riverrat - great pics! We too are in AZ. One thing we learned today (still newbies) is that there is a tremendous amount of "undumped" black and grey waste after hooking up and leaving a park after dumping. Unless you have a sewer hook up at the park, you dump your tanks when you leave the park...

Our Cyclone 3800 is a 2014 so not sure if its exactly the same. The rear gray tank is fed from the kitchen sink and garage sink. But when you empty the rear gray tank from the rear valve, it empties to the front dump. The rear black tank, fed from the garage toilet empties to the rear dump.

Certainly not infinite wisdom but I use a Mountain Master hitch. It's a 22K rated air hitch with a 5K kingpin rating. It also has a "pin catcher" to save you from a tailgate mishap or hitching/unhitching on a slope. Very smooth. I pull a Cyclone 3800 with a F350 longbed so its a bit heavier...

Great road trip from Phoenix to Lake Powell for the 4th. Solid 700 miles round trip in a lot of 100 plus heat at 60-65 mph (thanks Ford 6.7 diesel for managing those Flagstaff hills like a champ!). Towmax tires still looking solid. Checked pressures on the way up and way down. Also was looking...

My first post. We love our new 2014 Cyclone 3800. Only about 2500 miles so far. Pulled by our 2013 F350 DRW. I usually don't do a whole lot of posting on these types of forums but I know there are some others out there with the same concerns as me and want to do what is best - in their best...
