Hey Porthole! Just checking back into this forum after many years. I think you’ve moved on to a diff trailer. I still have my 3010. I installed a Battleborn Lithium battery bank and Victron Inverter power station. Love the freedom that provides, but ironically on this trip, I thinking it’s...

RIP Bob. You provided guidance when I was looking into my 2013 Cyclone. Thanks for the rally’s. I owed you a burger and never got around to it…. Deep regrets.

I went through the very same thing on my rig. Turns out that the water heater was empty and the electric switch was on for the water heater. This burned the element and that was tripping my GFI. Bought one from the RV store for a crazy price and that fixes it. Then saw the very same one at...

Thank you Dan. That certainly seems to be the fix and I believe page 6 will be the solution. I'll report back as soon as I can get to this.

Good day everyone! On my last trip, I noted that I could lower the beds in the rear garage but not raise them. I removed the toggle switch and reversed poles but found the same result. The motor would lower, but not respond if trying to raise. A continuity check showed proper function on the...

Used my furnace for the first time and ran into the same issue. The solution posted worked like a charm! Thanks guys!

Same for us Floyd. I've been waiting to see how things will fall out but with no change in all our scheduled plans, I don't think we can shoe horn this event in. If there are any changes on our end and there's an avail. spot left, we'll ask to join your event. Best regards to everyone and...

LOL! That was funny. My previous RV and my current HL Cyclone have been a bit disheartening when I dig in for repairs. They're really made of just a bunch of low grade plywood and staples. They must be so busy, there's no time to aim the staple gun.

Thanks Bob! It really was a success for Christine and I. Increased our living space too.

I spent a lot of time pondering and researching the addition of a patio to my 3010. Even dicussed this with those who have tried various solutions, and failing to get the full details, I decided to work on my own solution. The result was so successful and really simple that I had to share it...

I awoke to this phenomeon this morning and had to search here to see what is up. We are down on the coast for our annual beach trip and last night it was just too muggy. I have yet to truely use the Dometic Brisk II A/C unit in the bedroom, so I turned it on. Paying for full hookups...

Duane, by changing the attachment points, did you mean you would move it to the corner points like the production models have it? I am about to take this on and wanted to clarify. See attached photo. It's 1/8th steel like the production models but they definitely feel stouter. Frame wise...

Re: Congratulations! Bob, you should have let me know. I would have enjoyed touring it with you to bounce questions off of!

Indeed they do. Stumbled on it a while ago and I haven't looked back.

Hey guys. Thanks for a great time everyone! Christine and I had so much fun and enjoyed everyone so much.

View from the front door!

I have the same year, same model and I can say that it is indeed that small rocker switch on the lower panel, right hand side, bottom. You either have a faulty switch, a blown fuse or bad bulbs. My rig sat for some time, and I found the water heater rockers did not work. I had to actuate them...

Lynn, you happy with the "color" of the lights? I see lots of comments about "white", "blue" or not enough brightness. I've seen some with more LEDs on the bulb and was wondering if you would change to more power or brightness if you could do it over.

After having experienced blow outs on my old 5er, I decided to go straight to quality tires when I bought my Cyclone. It doesn't take long to see the danger of Blowmaxx tires when you read this forum. I quickly put 5 Goodyear G614's on my 3010. What I noted was the weight of the Goodyears vs...

It's going great BigJim! Excited to see you and your new rig @ Moab, Tuesday. I'll keep my eyes open tomorrow on the road for you. We'll head up the 15 and cut across on the 70. Safe travels!

Your storm is just reaching us here in Zion BigJim. That wind you mentioned announced it's arrival. The weather page says it should be done by 9pm today.

We've been outside of Zion for two days. Heading out tomorrow for Moab. Weather today looks very dark outside. 60% chance of rain according to the weather page. Very excited everyone!

Actually out on the road now. Forgive the clutter.... :)

Good luck Jim!

Very good. I'll be standing by. Thanks Trace! Jim

Oops. Forgot to add arriving Friday the 30th and leaving Sunday morning the 1st

Yes, that was what I used the old partition for. I had to trim it up a bit to fit, but it looks very finished. Like it was meant to be there. I was very proud of the work I did until I looked at some of the "Similar Threads" down below. Talk about humble pie! :). I need to learn how to work...

That's a good idea, thank you. I'll have to implement after out trip.

Trace, the date draws neigh! Looking forward to it. Do you recommend calling the park to verify? Long way to drive to find out they forgot I was coming. :) We are also on for the boat ride. Thanks, Jim

Hey Bob. Put me down for site 20 if you please. Thanks! Jim

I had seen a post about this some time ago and as my trip approaches, I decided to mimic it as well to maximize space. I removed the doors for greater access and began my work. It was not easy as the opening is narrow and I am not. Plus, you have to extend out past your center of gravity so...

Can I impose on anybody with the patio option to take photos of the hard points? Where the cable connects to the chassis and the door? Maybe include the location in inches from the top of the door and in from the side? Any info needed to replicate it. Thank you.

I was a bit put off with the option as well. Did not see myself hassling with the rails 90% of the time. My only concern with just a patio is safety. If we don't pay attention, you could step off and hurt yourself. I like it's simplicity with just the chains but we'd have to not have too...

I got a 2013 Cyclone and I believe it's 8 foot. We do an annual beach trip where the beaver tail faces straight out to the pacific for the sunsets. In fact, that was where I first saw this. Some folks sitting out, watching the sun go down for happy hour. It looked pretty cool I have to...

Duane, I have been wanting to do this very thing but seem to recall folks advising against it. I see this original post was from 2010, so I have to ask how it's held up? For us, it would almost always be two adults max, so I find it hard to believe it would be an issue for a door rated for at...

My pop rivets have been in place and holding just fine for over a year now. Interior and exterior walls. Retaining a clip that holds my garage ladder in place as an example. We're talking shear strengths not lateral. A small 5/32nd is rated at over a 135 lb. sq. You could go larger but I've...

I've looked at mine and see no breaker with a reset button. My landing gear have always stopped at the same point and only on retraction. It's only one leg because one side fully retracts and then the other. Stops at the same spot. Release the switch and reapply and it retracts fully. We...

Is anyone annoyed with the smell of baby powder like I am? If I apply to both slides, I believe the smell would be pervasive throughout the entire coach. I am looking for scent free Talcum powder and also wondering if anyone has used Corn Starch or Corn Silk powder. That is even finer than...
