    Cyclone - Onan generator sucking air

    Porthole, you advise dropping the coro-last on the left side; is that the door side or slide out side?

    Cyclone - Onan generator sucking air

    I replaced the fuel pump and filter on my Onan 5500 generator after I started getting error codes that the genset wasn't getting fuel. It ran fine for about two hours. Now I'm getting the same error codes. I took the fuel line off the carb and it seems like the fuel pump is sucking air. The fuel...

    Squeaky floor fix

    Since the factory reps don't reply, does anyone know if the plywood flooring is fastened to wood or aluminum stringers? And do the stringers run lengthwise or crosswise? A question for those who have installed laminate flooring, if I install laminate would the extra thickness help stop the...

    Black tank doesn't fill

    First, my gauges are not reliable for indicating how full my tanks are and I thought my black tank was starting to "burp" before it should have. So I emptied the tank, put a water meter on and measured how many gallons of water it took before the commode started burping again. Seems my tank is...

    Squeaky floor fix

    My 2008 Cyclone 3795 has developed a squeaky floor just inside the door. I'm guessing the plywood is working loose below. Can I fix this if I remove the bottom cover or is there more to fixing this? Anyone done this already?

    Cyclone Clearance Height

    I don't have any literature stating the clearance height of my '08 3795 and have found conflicting specs from various web sites ranging from 12'9" to 13'3". Can you give me an exact answer so I don't have to measure it myself?

    What does Heartland consider normal recreational use?

    You're not getting my point, I understand I need to keep up with maintenance. But I'm reading posts of guys making changes to their suspension and wonder why that should be needed. Is it because they are full-timers and put that many miles on their coaches? I use my RV about 180 days a year and...

    What does Heartland consider normal recreational use?

    The manual states that my trailer is not intended for permanent housing or full time use but for recreational use. That is pretty vague language. How many days of use per year is considered recreational? As for the frame and suspension, how many miles a year are considered normal use? What does...

    Axle weight changed/renewed from factory

    It basically is due to the tires that used. Mine had 225/75R15 load range D tires that were only rated to carry 2540 lbs each. So they lowered the axle rating from 5200 to 5080 lbs. The new label they're sending out has the lower axle rating. Check your tires to see what load they can carry.

    Axle weight changed/renewed from factory

    OK, that makes no sense at all. I have an '08 3795 and got my sticker two months ago. I called Heartland to get an explanation and they knew right away what I was calling about.

    Axle weight rating reduce

    rideblue, That's about the same change as I made to mine except I went with 245's instead of 225's. Did you ever have the alignment checked? I wore out tires on 5000 miles also and I had front and rear axles bent. The shop said it appeared I made a too sharp of a turn as the right front and left...

    Axle weight rating reduce

    I put Sendel T03 rims on and I got 245/75R16 tires that look like they fit and they take 80 psi so I pump them up and hopefully these will wear better than the 225/75R15 that I took off.

    Axle weight rating reduce

    I decided to get 16" rims and load range E tires but wanted to be sure there was room for them on my Cyclone before I ordered them. I emailed HL customer service and provided the year, make, model and VIN of my Cyclone and asked if I could switch to 16" rims and 235/85R16 tires, specifically...

    Axle weight rating reduce

    I took my cyclone to my tire dealer today and after he looked at how my tires are wearing he said I was definitely overloading the tires. I run them at 65 lbs and check them daily. I've already purchased 16" rims and have ordered new tires. I agree Heartland owes us something on this.

    Axle Roll

    Lance, I got the same letter about my axles. I called my dealer, he hadn't heard about it and asked for some time to check it out. He got back to me and said he had called Heartland to get a copy of the letter sent to me. He totally agrees that I'm not getting what I paid for and deserve new...

    Axle weight rating reduce

    Has anyone else gotten a certified letter from Heartland informing them about a safety issue? Seems that the axles on some 5'ers cannot carry the weight as posted on the axles and the decal on the frame. Their fix for this was to send out a new decal with the reduced weight rating, from 5200...

    Are G-rated tires too stiff?

    My Cyclone 3795 came with 225/75R15D and even though it is a triple axle I don't think those tires are sufficient; my GVWR is 18,000 lbs.

    Are G-rated tires too stiff?

    One tire dealer has suggested that I install G-rated tires on my 3795 and then won't have to worry about blowouts anymore. Another dealer says G-rated tires are too stiff for my trailer and it will bounce down the highway. I know G-rated tires maybe overkill for my trailer but would they provide...

    Accessing landing gear motor

    I believe I need to replace the motor for the front jacks on my Cyclone 3795. Question is how do I gain access to it? Do I need to remove the generator and go in from the front door or can I take out the front wall in the storage bay and get to the motor. I took the screws out of the front wall...

    Water pump NOT working - Shurflo 5.7

    I have the Shurflo Extreme 5.7 pump in my rig. I went through three pumps, two in one week. I returned to Camping World where I bought the second and third pumps and talked to the service manager. Luckily I had taken the filter with the pump. The manager said I would continue burning out pumps...

    Mystery Valves

    I have no idea what these valves do and my dealer wasn't sure either. I posted this question last fall but never got any sure answers, just guesses as to what they might do. Someone must have an answer.
