    Ramp and Patio Door - 4200 (A different thought)

    So i know there have been several posted questions around failures of the doors over water intrusion. So this is bringing two questions to mind: 1) If the doors have not progressed to failure, would there be some merit in drilling weep drains into the frame that faces down when the doors are...

    A/C Issue - Different Than Others I've Read

    So, i haven't swapped controllers yet, but strangely this is limited to 'at night' - the unit appears to run all day long without issue in the heat, but at night, it just shuts down. I'll still try the controller swap and keep the board posted. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    A/C Issue - Different Than Others I've Read

    I have a Cyclone 4200 with three A/C. The rear A/C works normally, no issues at all. The front A/C runs normally for anywhere from days to hours - but then every once in a while (and usually at night) the A/C shuts off. The thermostat LEDs still indicate its set to "COOL" and the set temp...

    Using Inverter to Maximize 30amp Hookups

    No generally I'm fine. But we're heading to a state park in a few months with only 30 amp capacity. That often stretches us pretty thin. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Using Inverter to Maximize 30amp Hookups

    As I was reading up on Xantrex 1000 in my 4200 a notion occurred to me to check. I wanted to see if the refrigerator breaker was wired in before or after the inverter. For my coach it's before. This means that when I have limited shore amps (20 or 30) and want to avoid the residential...

    Cyclone loading ramp failure

    That's what I would think two, and I would say the coating would make it very difficult for the water molecules to penetrate the cracks. I don't think it would be perfect, but it would be a very inexpensive and easy extra measure of insurance to limit penetration Sent from my iPhone using...

    Here's a picture from under the sink. Super tough to get too, looks more open than it is cause i could stretch my arm in with the camera. I'm going to have to carefully cut the pex down by the floor to expose the break in the line, then was thinking maybe use this to fix...

    I do mean that line. But I flooded that line and the freezer w antifreeze. I dewinterized and sanitized the line under normal pressure. I ran the freezer for weeks. It ruptured today. The miserable part is it ruptured under the sink but inside a pex sheath so it's going to be downright...

    2016 Cyclone 4200 Read Flood Lights

    So, honestly, a bit embarrassed to be asking this. But i can't seem to locate the switch for the flood lights on the back (not the LED strip on the canopy) but the pair of floods mounted up near the roof. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Jim

    Garage A/C Freezes up due to happy jack bed raised.

    Jw4250 - one more thought on trying to figure the vents. Start by taping off all the front and mid vents. Run the fan on high on your rear AC. Verify you got good flow. If yes, the system is unbalanced but you may be able to compensate. By partially restricting your forward vents in...

    Garage A/C Freezes up due to happy jack bed raised.

    Ok, and one other thought. It sounds like you are using the direct AC return vent. Close it. That rear air should be ducted into the same trunk as your other ACs (mid and forward if equipped). That would 'force the air into the room' Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Dometic AC Running Fine, Then Shutting Down Entirely

    Pharmafrog - which of your airs did this? Bedroom, living room or garage? Do you have 2 A/C's or three? Do you have a toggle switch to control which AC runs? Trying to narrow this down. Mine happened on BOTH ACs that were on the toggle switch. Seems suspicious to me. Have not...

    cyclone 4200

    Yeah that was a typo, I intended to communicate 72 inches wide inside the slider by 80 inches long down to the foot of the bed. Dimensions, it's still a cozy fit inside the slider, and a standard size would fit but you have to compress it quite a bit at the head of the bed Sent from my iPhone...

    You think FREEZE UP would manifest as described? With the unit shutting down? From my experience, i thought freeze up would result in a meltdown coming down into the coach afterwards no? Cause that doesn't happen
