    Hensley TS3

    Selling my Hensley TS3. Rated for 20k pounds. Great hitch and served us well over the years. Always covered when not in use. Original cost was over $2500. Asking $1500. I also have an adapter for the RAM puck system that fits the 2014 RAM and others available for an extra $200. PM me if...

    5th Wheel axles moved?

    Easy- I'm not a mechanic and didn't know that was even an option... I was still in learning mode at that point and hadn't connected that dot. It's interesting to note that we traded that rig on another Cyclone about a year and a half ago and haven't had the problem since. And, to make it more...

    5th Wheel axles moved?

    I had a center pin fail a few years ago on my 2009 Cyclone. I thought I had some better pics but these will give you some idea of the issue. In these, you can at least see the centering bolt in the first pic and then the impact once the U-bolts were removed here (the springs fell apart). Over...

    2017 Cyclone 4113 - Hisense Frige not cooling

    Just seeing this for the first time but ours started doing the same thing on almost the same day as your post. It had been on for about 6 days and all of sudden the temp started to rise in the fridge. Working with the dealer now on getting the rig to them. Curious what your outcome was. Thanks!

    Potential owner looking for testimonies... of course!

    We are on our second Cyclone and can't say enough about both Heartland and our dealer. Both were purchased new from our dealer. Our first Cyclone was a 2009 3912 (purchased Feb 2008). Our current Cyclone was purchased in December 2015 and is a 2016 4250. We absolutely loved our 3912. It...

    Power for 3 AC's

    Gus - I have the 2 30amp breakers. - - - Updated - - - Your bedroom and garage AC's and the W/D are on the same leg. Which side of the panel is the main AC on, I don't see it? - The Bedroom and Main AC are on the switch to isolate 1 of them at a time. So it is technically the same as the...

    Power for 3 AC's

    My Cyclone 4250 has 3 AC'a that were installed at the factory. Great concept, but unlike the Landmark with 3 AC's, there is no power management system other than a toggle switch that only allows you to run either the front or middle AC at 1 time (plus the rear). In looking at my breaker box...

    Virginia Diesel fuel tax refund

    I was renewing my wife's car registration tonight and happened to see a link to Diesel Vehicle Fuel Refunds. According to the website: "Diesel fuel purchased in Virginia for use in a qualifying vehicle may be eligible for a refund. The refund amount is the difference between the tax rate on...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring System / Inflator

    I use a TST 507 Flow thru. Prior to that, I had the TST 510 (non-flow thru). Both work well but do require repeaters for a rig as long as yours (and mine). I will say, when I had my blowout on a Marathon tire on my prior rig, the system did not alarm until after the tire blew. No early...

    Wireless Camera Issues

    I had the same issue on my 2016 Cyclone. There is a fuse in the battery compartment labeled 15A (I had to ask Heartland Customer Service). When the rig is shipped, they don't install the fuse. Put the fuse in and it worked perfectly. In the pic below, you can see the red fuse and wire near...

    T Mobil

    If you have T-Mobile, you'll need the wifi calling. :-) But also note, that same function is now available on the newer phones from Verizon and AT&T. My new 6s has it in Settings/Phone. It works great too!

    Ladder for the top bunk in garage

    We had to do the same thing on both our 2009 and 2016 Cyclones. Make sure you measure the height. We kept the 60" version when we traded our 2009 only to find the 2016 requires the 66" instead of the 60". Good luck!

    2010 Cyclone Water Heater

    If it is like my former 2009, there are 2 switches. 1 on the water heater itself - a small black toggle switch around the burner area when you take the exterior cover off. The 2nd switch was a red "traditional" light switch on the "Cyclone" control panel inside. Both have to be on for the...

    ATF: Bighorn - Back Up Camera

    Re: ATF: Bighorn - Baack Up Camera I installed the high speed Furrion camera back around Christmas. I had a horrible picture on my first long trip. I emailed Furrion and they replaced the camera without any real questions. The 2nd camera on the same 7 hour trip blinked out for about 3 seconds...

    Can't rotate tires because.....

    I have the same 2014 RAM 3500 (assuming it is a dually). Just had mine rotated about a month ago at the dealer. No problem. Rims are reversible. It was a little more expensive than a regular rotation (about $40).

    Dish network in western US

    While Dish does have satellites on both an Eastern and Western Arc, the same dish can be used for both arcs. However, you do need to change the LNB to one for the appropriate arc. I used to carry the 1000.2 Dish with LNB's for both the Eastern and Western Arcs and it worked fine for both...

    2007 Cyclone 3795 Landing gear Problems

    It was part of the Lippert Level up system which you see on a lot of the new rigs today. In 2010, you could buy just the replacement of the front 2 legs or you could buy it as the full 6 point system. I originally purchased just the 2 front legs but then someone talked me into going with the...

    2007 Cyclone 3795 Landing gear Problems

    My prior rig was a 2009 (made January 2008) Cyclone 3912 so probably about the same age as yours. It had the electric landing gear too and seemed to have a lot of problems which I assume was due to the heavy front end on the rig. Mine would do exactly what you describe when the battery was...

    Unplugging the Furrion - going to hardwire a camera - ideas on room to work?

    I had the same problem with the first one I installed (purchase in the December timeframe via Amazon). After I made my first trip with the camera installed in February, I contacted Furrion support and they immediately said the length should not be an issue so it must be a defective system...

    Audio Systems in Cyclone 4250

    I agree with you. The sound system in this rig is horrible but can be easily replaced. The good news is the wires are run from the bluray player to the speaker locations beside the long sofa for you already so that at least can be reused. You also have a concealed speaker above the TV but...

    Towmax blowout 2 days ago

    Keep in mind, not all GoodYear tires are created equal. We had GoodYear Marathons on our last Cyclone and replaced 2 in less than 2 years - 1 before it blew and 1 after. I will say, GoodYear did stand behind the tire that blew and paid for not only a replacement tire but also all the damage to...

    Good Sam Roadside Assistance

    Yes - since the late 90's. Look up Affinity Group (now operating under Good Sam Enterprises I believe because Affinity had some issues around 2010).

    2016 Cyclone 4250 Triple AC units

    Dan has it right. The switch controls the front and main AC on my 2016 4250. The rear is on regardless of the switch. We tend to use it to flip the opposite of where we are so we don't have to listen to the AC. In other words, at night, we run the AC in the center. During the day, we run...

    Question about Black and Grey Water Tanks

    I can only speak from a Cyclone perspective. On ours, the front grey tank is for the front bath (shower and sink). The back gray tank is for the rear bath and kitchen.

    Good Sam Roadside Assistance

    We have had both Good Sam and Coach Net. Unfortunately, we seem to have to use it 1-2 times per year due to leaf spring failure on our prior Cyclone. Our experience has been much better with Coach Net. It seems like Good Sam takes an excessive amount of time to identify a service provider and...

    "Camera ready" statement on 2016 Cyclone ads

    I just installed it (Furrion FOS48TAPK-BL) on my 2016 Cyclone 4250. I'm pretty disappointed right now. I used the camera on a trip a couple of weeks ago and the signal was on/off the entire trip. I tried moving the monitor around the cab of the truck and changing the antenna angle. Nothing...

    ATF: Landmark - Pre-Wired for solar

    The 4250 camera is for a Furrion (http://furrion.com/camera/). I purchase it but haven't fully got mine working yet because, while it was pre-wired, the power is not connected by default (i.e. no fuse). I just found that out last week from Heartland customer service. It is very easy to...

    Cyclone 4250 surround sound

    I found the same thing on our 4250 a few weeks ago. That RCA unit is pretty much junk (along with the speakers) and I'll replace it sometime in the future. It's definitely a big step down from our prior '09 Cyclone 3912. To me, I'm fine using AC for the replacement because when we stop, we...

    New to using auto leveling system

    On our last Cyclone, we had the Level Up system installed after delivery of our unit. We had to take it out to Indiana and were fortunate to meet the man that actually designed the system. He made it clear to us that it was fine for the system to lift the rig completely off the ground. In...

    Heat While Boondocking

    As others have said, you're probably okay with a good battery depending upon how high you run the heat. However, 1 suggestion I highly recommend doing... If you are leaving the truck/trailer connected, make sure you at least disconnect the pigtail to your truck. Otherwise, it is possible that...

    what is the height of your hitch in a Ram 3500 Dually ?

    Randy - I have a 2014 Ram 3500 DRW 4x4. I also have the TS3 and use the adapter (picture frame). I can't recall the specific height, but I've had no issues with my Cyclone. I didn't even have to adjust the hitch from my 2008 F450. Good luck!

    Slide failure. My worst RV nightmare

    I'm not exactly sure how to describe it. My slide has 2 main rods that make it move in/out. The pin goes in one of these. While he called it a sheer pin, it is actually just a bolt that holds the rod together. I suspect when you look at the mechanism, it will be pretty obvious to you. Sorry...

    Slide failure. My worst RV nightmare

    Mine was actually the kitchen slide. The tech cut a small (6"x6") whole in the cover of the bottom of the rig below the main support then sealed it back with Gorilla tape. On my BR slide, I can get to the mechanism under my bed. I have to remove the mattress then unscrew the plywood cover on...

    Slide failure. My worst RV nightmare

    My rig is significantly older than yours so it may be different, but I had a similar issue a couple of years ago while at a park. The scenario also sounds the same. I was pulling in the slides and heard a loud pop and then I noticed 1 side had stopped coming in. Fortunately, there was a...

    Heartland vs Keystone

    Hi jbbdc, I'll second what Dan has said. While I have not had a Montana, I have previously had 2 other Keystone brand trailers (Cougar 5er and Zeppelin trailer) . Heartland's customer service and support is definitely better than Keystone not to mention the quality of the end product. As...

    Fall trip to Washington, DC

    I assume you are coming from the South (ie I95). If so, I would definitely avoid 5am-10am and 2pm-7pm. I'd also advise against trying to leave on Friday (heading South) or coming into DC on a Sunday afternoon/evening. If you are coming from the South (ie Richmond/I295), you might consider...
