    Transfer switch not crossing over after starting generator

    We keep our RV in a larger steel building and keep it connected via a 50 amp power source. The power went out and I started the generator and you hear the transfer switch trying to click over but doesn't. (Dont worry, we have a pipe for the exhaust to be funneled outside). Any thoughts? We...

    ATF: Cyclone - Noise in 6 point leveling system

    I have a 12014 Cyclone 4100-King and it's been awesome. I put it in inside storage for three months and when I went to raise the rear jacks a clicking noise occurred without the jacks moving. I extended them and it worked as expected then retracted them, working as expected without the...

    Auto Transfer Swtch on Cyclone 3612

    I had a transfer switch problem that sounded similar to ours. I had power from the generator but no power when connected to the shore line. What I found out was somehow when I connected the shore line if burned up the inside of the transfer switch. Heartland replaced it as it was under...

    Front A/C Unit on Heartland 4100 King

    Bad news. Th units are sealed so freon can't be added. Am having the repair guy coming out though. We'll see what happens when they come out on Thursday.

    Front A/C Unit on Heartland 4100 King

    Then, I think the one I have needs to have coolant added because it definitely isn't cooling once the temperature gets above 85.

    Front A/C Unit on Heartland 4100 King

    We are moving to Texas from 6 Months and, from experience, we know there will be greater than 100 degree days. We want to replace the front A/C unit with one more powerful. Maybe, even, with a heat pump. I know I should have the manuals but, unfortunately, I left them at home. Does anyone...

    ATF: Cyclone - Electrical Issue

    The transfer switch worked fine when on the generator. Somehow, the short took place on the land side of the house. The repairman is going to go through all of the wiring to ensure I won't have the probelm again. Thank you! Once last question, though. Is there a fuse directly in the...

    ATF: Cyclone - Electrical Issue

    Thanks! The transfer box actually shorted out. We need to replace it. We are connecting it directly until the new transfer box gets in. Now, I need to figure out why the Microwave and vacuum not working. It is probably a GFI some place. I know the one in the bathroom controls the...

    Yes, there was no power to the GFI in the bathroom when on city power. There was when on the generator.

    ATF: Cyclone - Electrical Issue

    Greetings! First, I want to start out and say my wife and I are very pleased with our 4100. Some small warranty issues but overall it has been great. We are having a problem with our electrical. We just set up and plugged in to 50 AMP power. Initially, everything was great. Then, my wife...

    GFI Outlets in Basement not Working

    Greetings: I have a bit of a problem. The GFI outlets are not working. The lights work and the Level-Up systems activates. So, I believe it is fairly reasonable to assume the GFI switch has popped. I did check all the fuses and breakers inside and they are fine so I am pretty sure it is the...

    50 Amp to 30 Amp

    I have a 4100. My understanding is that I can go to a campground that only has 30 amp service and it would take an adapter from the pole to my 50 amp cable. I had such an adapter from an earlier rig. Went I went to see if it would work the 50 amp cable had 4 piece insert whereas the adapter only...

    New Heartland product and quality problems any?

    We bought a 2014 Cyclone 4100 King and have had some issues. And, the dealer was a disaster. The challenge we had is that we are full timing. I went directly to Heartland and they have been very responsive and supportive. We got a mobile service come, take pictures, interface with Heartland...

    DSI Light comes on

    Ok, I switched the tank it draws from but the problem still continues. When I turn off then on the hot water heater turns on and works as expected. However, if we leave for a while (4 hours) then come back the DSI light is back on. Could it be a low pressure issue? In other words, a slow...

    DSI Light comes on

    Though connected to AC we use propane to heat the water in our rig. When I first set up and turn on the propane switch the how water heater immediately fires up. However, if we are gone for a while I'll turn on the hot water the water is cool and the DSI light is on. I am assuming this is...

    Utility costs increased three fold

    Kevin, Thanks. We did some process of elimination work. 1) Disconnected from the meter and boondocked for the night. Result: meter did not move. 2) Ran hot water heater and refrigerator on propane while connected to meter. Result: 16 KW in 24 hours. Less than the 20 per day we were...

    Utility costs increased three fold

    Bill: Thanks. I had thought of that. The reason I eliminated it was because of my understanding of what it does. Essentially, I believe, it recharges the batteries and converts power for the 12 volt lighting. Since the usage of the lighting has remained relatively constant I thought it could...

    Utility costs increased three fold

    Ok, here is the conundrum. We are full timing in a 2014 Cyclone 4100. In the first three months in an RV park in Redwood City, CA, the meter readings showed an average daily usage of 20. Suddenly, for the last two months the average daily usage jumped to 53. If you know this part of the...

    Max age or mileage for used tow vehicle

    I think you should look for a low mileage tow vehicle. Last year I got a 2010 F350 DRW 4x4 Diesel with 10K miles for less than half the price as a new one. I pull a Cyclone 4100 King and it's awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ATF: Cyclone - Stowing Tables

    Graci! We were thinking of the back upper bunk under the mattress. First exploratory trip starting on the 10th. First Napa for 4 days and three nights then Yosemite for the same. Then, back to work.

    ATF: Cyclone - Stowing Tables

    Where do we stow our three table when we are on the move? We found them under the mattress after we bought the RV (the dealer didn't know they were there. Should we stow them there when moving? How do we keep them from moving? They had bands that were stapled down. Any suggestions?

    Pilot light continually goes out

    Ok, I figured this one out. We left the know on the pilot light position and the pilot has stayed on. And, is brighter after doing so. My feeling is the pilot was blowing out once the burners turned off when they the temperature of the oven reached the set temperature and was blown out due, if...

    Controlling both locks

    We got the RVLock with remote control and keypad. We use the deadbolt only and rarely use the key anymore. In fact, we leave the keys in our vehicles just in case the battery dies or weakens on the door. We have a back door and after getting the front lock from RVLock we've ordered a basic...
