    5th Wheel Towing and Drivers License Poll

    Alley back or alley dock is basically backing into space from a 90 degree angle, like backing into a camp spot. Here's a youtube video of a semi doing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIY_I_6KTis In Rancho San Diego, they tell you that you can line up anywhere in the cones, then proceed to...

    5th Wheel Towing and Drivers License Poll

    I would not take this for granted. I took the test in Rancho San Diego a while back and was asked who my escort was and if they were properly licensed. The examiner did not check though. As for the actual test, it is a scaled down version of the commercial test. For the skills test, you have...

    Garage Upper Bunk Will Not Retract

    Thanks everyone for the tips and suggestions. Grabbed a friend and we were able to lift the upper bunk to the top position and pinned it there at which point I was able to run the lower bunk up and down a few cycles. Then with lower bunk also at the top position, unpinned the upper bunk and...

    Garage Upper Bunk Will Not Retract

    Thanks for the tip Dloebrich. Battery switch is on and battery fully charged, plus shore power. I even tried firing up the gen this morning to see if that would make a difference but no luck. Window blinds and chords also out of the way. I'm stumped.

    Garage Upper Bunk Will Not Retract

    Hi All. Been a while since I've posted but do check in on everyone's adventures on a regular basis. Basically the title of my post explain it all. When I go to retract/lift the HappicJac bunks in the garage, the lower moves up and down in it's range just fine but when going up, when lower...

    Cable TV and coax outlets in UDC, bedroom, and living room problems

    On my Cyclone, the middle connection in the UDC feeds the basement connector on the door side of the rig. I was told by Heartland and have personally confirmed since, there is no satellite connection in the bedroom. Frank

    California finally "allows" over 40 foot fivers

    Model number has nothing to do with the licensing requirement. It is based on the GVW of the trailer. 15,001 lbs. and up requires Class A, commercial or non commercial license in California.

    Escort to DMV needed for a "Non Commercial License" (Class A)

    Congrats Al. Bottom line, you passed and that's all that counts.

    Escort to DMV needed for a "Non Commercial License" (Class A)

    They give you a fair amount of room for the alley dock. If I remember right, it was about 15 feet wide, maybe a little more. Also, you do not have to do it in one shot. You are allowed to pull forward to re-align if necessary. You can do this up to five times assuming you are not docked for...

    Hi Al, Just wondering if you called the Lancaster test site to confirm if you actually need an escort? Good to hear it straight from the horses mouth. Frank

    I'm bummed. The wife and I were really looking forward to this rally since we couldn't make the SoCal rally earlier this year. Turns out we can't make this one either. We will be out of town that weekend :( Hope everyone has a great time. We'll be thinking of you. Frank

    Hi Art/Kelly, I bought the u-bolts on-line unfortunately I don't remember where. Do a search on square bend u-bolts and you should come up with a few sources. Sorry I can't be more help. Frank

    ATF: Cyclone - Bed ladder.

    I thought I read somewhere here on the forum that there is no ladder for the garage bunks due to safety issues. My 3612 came with a ladder but it is meant for the loft bed in the living area. Frank

    Sorry, Another Tire Question

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I did some calling around yesterday and it pretty much came down to "we need to see it to be sure" if the G614s will fit. Most said that with less than 3 inches in between the tires, they would not advise it but that it was my decision to make. I guess...

    Sorry, Another Tire Question

    This time regarding dimensions. I know I've seen this discussion before somewhere on the forum but I'm not finding it at the moment so I will ask again. I will be changing out my Blow Max 235/80R16s in the very near future. Based on the many posts regarding tires, it appears the big three are...

    Like New Flag Pole Buddy with 12 foot mast, flag, all hardware and mounting instructions. I only had this kit mounted on my Sundance for one season. I think I only flew the flag twice and it still has its original creases from when it was packaged. Since I no longer have the Sundance and do...

    2013 Cyclone 4100 King satelite dish connections bad

    I don't have a 4100 but on my 3612, satellite did not work either when I first got it. I have two sat. inputs in the UDC, which I assumed one was for living room and the other the bedroom. Neither connection worked in either location. Pulled the basement wall to get behind the UDC and it...

    Cyclone 3712??

    Congrats on your 3712 and welcome to the forum BIGRIGFORUS. We ended up going with the 3612 and are happy with our choice. It's been a year since I first posted this but what we were hoping for at the time was that the 3712 would have the extra half bath like some of the bigger Cyclones. When...

    Cyclone 3712 hd satellite cable port

    As I mentioned in another post, I contacted Heartland about a month or so ago attempting to get the most current drawing for my 3612. I forget who it was but he sent me the same 2008 version saying that is what the still follow today. Ya right. Mine is not even close. And yes, I also had a...
