    Cyclone 4000 Circuit Breaker & Fuse Identification area.

    Yup same guy probably wrote my labels as everyone else's. My washer/dryer circuit and converter circuit were switched. So were the microwave and vacuum. When I rewired I just found which outlet was on which circuit and used a label maker. It's worth tracking each circuit down and labeling them...

    2016 4200 Cyclone 3 AC question

    Mine was wired to run living room always and switch between bedroom and garage. Since the kids sleep back there I took the time to wire the switch out of the equation. It was incredible simple to do by adding a new circuit breaker and running a few feet of wire to the switch. I put off doing...

    New Shoes (or how I refused to be a victim)

    I knew I wanted to get new tires for my Cyclone before I even ordered it. I crossed my fingers and held my breath for a few trips. Whether the impending explosion of my towmax tires was a real or perceived risk, I nonetheless travelled with anxiety. The kind folks at America's Tire relieved my...

    Ready to upgrade to FW TH and looking at Heartlands...

    When I was shopping AJ was very helpful both on the phone and over email. There used to be an option list floating around but I'm sure it's changed from 14 when I bought. Although the factory won't really do major floor plan changes on a custom basis I have read they will do some mods. One...

    Drivers License for towing in CA

    Good luck on the test. I was nervous, but try to relax. They did not get in my cab for the pre trip but do ride in the cab during the road test. I have no idea if they will make you come back if they see it. I wouldn't say anything, and see what happens. Maybe you put a photo of your favorite...

    Drivers License for towing in CA

    The West Sacramento office seems a little quirkier than what others described. They will make you back the offset backing course even though there is no description in the RV license manual. They also pretend there's a wall extending out of the 90* backing that you cannot cross. They will also...

    3110 Sliding Glass Door reversal

    On my slider there is a strip of plastic surrounding the frame on the "outside" or garage side. When I remove the plastic trim it reveals the screws used to hold the frame in place. With the screws removed the frame should slide into the garage. Hopefully that makes sense. Sent from my iPad...

    RZR XP4 1000 in Cyclone 4000

    I was torn shopping. I looked at the teryx because it had 4 seats and was short enough. But I kept getting drawn back to the RZR. I'm just glad it works. You should have seen me with a tape measure and a straight edge at the dealer trying every imaginable way to visualize it fitting. Sent...

    How is it pulling these 3 axles toy haulers??

    My advice would be get the floor plan that suits your needs, and a length that gets you into the spots you want. I would personally not let double or triple axles weigh in my decision. Outside of tire replacement cost, I have not found anything that different from the double axle trailers I...

    RZR XP4 1000 in Cyclone 4000

    I bought the Cyclone 4000 and had no intentions of getting a side by side. As things change I decided to get a RZR and wanted a 4 seater. The 4 seat 1000 specs out at 12'2" while my garage is 11'6". My 4000 has the sliding glass door offset to the door side. The door and glass panel come off...

    Exterior light quit working

    It's fixed. What a silly mistake. I ordered a new led strip on Amazon for $11 and it looks identical to the oem. I just had to solder the original plug in place. Thankfully it was a very easy fix. I'm sure I won't soon forget what switch does what. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Exterior light quit working

    He's, my lights wade in the roller. Can't see them until the awning is completely unfurled. One tiny little hole that I have to squint to see. It's right by the roller so I'm not too worried about it. Im just bummed I made the mistake and now need to fix it. Carefree list the strip light at...

    Exterior light quit working

    Well found some good news and bad news. The good news is that the switch for this light was in the front cabinet, not the garage. The light works fine. The bad news is the switch I thought was for the light actually turned on the led awning light. Somehow that switch stayed on burning out my led...

    Toy Hauler garage AC......

    I just did this mod two weeks ago. Hopefully not hijacking this thread too much. In the cyclone it was very easy. Pull your circuit breaker main box out of the hole. Remove the switch to select the air conditioner. Using fish tape run 12/2 romex from the switch box to the hole for your circuit...

    Exterior light quit working

    I'll pull my fuse panel for loose wiring but there is power at the switch. I'm thinking its a ground or wiring issue. I was wary of pulling too much apart at the light. I'll pop it apart again and see how far back I can trace the wires. I couldn't see obvious mounting screws though. Sent...

    Magnum MS2012 Install

    I bought the inverter on Amazon for $1620 shipped to my door. The solar was from northern Arizona wind and sun. I'm a little over $1600 for a Morningstar 45 mppt, 2 Kyocera 255 watt panels and a bogart tm2030. This also included brackets wires and breakers. I've made a few trips to Home...

    Exterior light quit working

    My two bulb clear flood light on over my fuel station quit working. I have DC at the switch and it works. The bulbs appear intact. The visible wires all appear intact. I have no power at the light at all. I tested all the wires and contacts at the bulbs. Im not sure how the light base comes...

    Magnum MS2012 Install

    Thank you Scotty. I was looking at the hybrid but didn't think I'd get much run time for the third A/C on generator power. As far as the elimination of the switch I should be able to run 3 A/Cs on 50amp service.

    Magnum MS2012 Install

    After about a year trying to decide which inverter to go with I pulled the trigger on a Magnum MS2012. I found a great price online and ordered the remote to go with it. I ordered a complete solar system to go along with this, but haven't installed it yet. The first step was deciding what type...

    I Took Delivery Yesterday - Cyclone 4000

    Re: Couch Bracket I'll grab some pictures when I get home tonight. I'm really happy I installed it. It provides just enough support to keep the chair lined up. The recliner near the fireplace in ours is rock solid. I hope the dealer gets yours squared away. I could not imagine having to...

    What the HAZE!!??

    Mine did the same thing the first time I ran the furnace. I ran it overnight with the fantastic fan going. Everything was clear in the morning and I haven't had haze since.

    Garage Heat Vent

    My 4000 does the same thing. On my last sob trailer the rear vent was just as Luke warm. It's a long run from the furnace to the vent. I'm resigned to leave get the door between the garage and living room open when the kids are sleeping back there.

    Are New Trailers Still Coming with LCD TV?

    My Cyclone came with an LED Sansui TV in the living room. I didn't get the bedroom or garage TV so I'm not sure what they use for those.

    ATF: Cyclone - HD Package

    I ordered my Cyclone the second week of January with a February build. The website still advertised the vessel sink but the factory reps I spoke to both confirmed no vessel sink. My hd package did not include the sink but I knew this before ordering. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Cyclone 4000...

    Congrats. We had the same kind of dirtiness in the hard to see areas. For the most part the trailer was clean, but under the top mattress and inside a few cupboards we found the chips. Don't forget to run your furnace before the first trip. If the dealer didn't vacuum under the bunk...

    Making sense of the tire talk

    If all three tires on the right side are heating up equally my guess is it has to do with the crown of the road slightly tipping the trailer to that side. I would think the slight tip to the side rooms count for a little more weight on the tires thus more heat. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747...

    How long does it take to deliver from factory

    I've thought about that as I watch the rv haulers go down the interstate. It amazes me that one trailer at a time comes out. Obviously smaller trailers fit on larger trailers. I also laughed when I baby the trailer realizing that the first 2300 miles were probably it's roughest.

    Couch Bracket Chief, I got the bracket Heartland sent me installed today. Based on the where the bolt looking thing is on the removable part, I lined up the bracket on the fixed couch. Only 4 of the six screw holes were on top of something solid, but it seems pretty sturdy. The bracket...

    Cool, thanks, Milton. I'll call my dealer and see. If they can't I'll give your guy a call. I couldn't find black ones online, just the white ones. Mine are all black in my unit, so I know they exist.

    How long does it take to deliver from factory

    My Cyclone was finished on Feb 25th, but did not arrive at my dealership until March 24. My dealer was 2300 miles from the factory. When I talked to folks at the factory, it sounded like they had an enormous back log of built trailers waiting to go out. I don't think you can take delivery at...

    locked out of the livingroom door!

    Chief, My 4000 with the fastec lock is doing the same thing. It lets me remove the key in the horizontal position. This is one of the symptoms of the fastec lock recall, if I remember correctly. If you call fastec they should ship you one, as long as you can wait for the shipping. I would...

    Sanitizing the Water System on a 2014 Big Country 3070RE

    The method some use to add solution to the tank is to connect the hose to the fill valve in the UDC, and add the bleach or other liquid into the hose. Connect the hose to the water spigot and fill the tank as normal. I was told there is an overflow, although I have yet to see it in action...

    Furnace sets off smoke alarms

    Re: Furnace sets of smoke alarms I ran my furnace over night after it smoked during the first hour of running. I opened the vents and turned on the fantastic fan. It was clear in the morning when I went to check it. The reading I did led me to believe it was production oils burning off.

    Mod for Honda Generators

    I like that he used the petcock to modify the cap. The drawback to other methods I'd seen were the fittings on the cap not being closed when not hooked to the extended run tank. Cool find.

    Air Bags.

    Tom, I just installed airbags on my Ram and it really was a very easy process. If you are looking for a spot for the compressor, the area in front of the axle, between the frame and side of the bed on either side is wide open and a great spot to mount things. I stuffed my compressor and 2.5...
