Sorry if this has been talked about before. If you are hooked to shore power and the power goes out, is it alright to remain hooked up while you run the generator or is it dangerous to the as line crew who is fixing it? In other words, does the trailer protect the line crew from the trailer...

You can search for my thread on the same subject. Found a semi frame shop that welded it up to the "Dexter Axle" repair procedure for Lippert frames. I can't make this stuff up. It's a known problem and Lippert was quick to pay the bill. ...

I think I have a hydraulic system leak. The trailer has been parked camping in Florida the last few months. I hear a pop, ping or ding coming from the suspension as it settles. Slowly over 6 to 8 weeks I notice that the trailer is no longer level. So I re-level it with the Lippert system. I...

Lippert check showed up in full, well almost. Repair was $2880 an they reimbursed me $2800. No explanation of difference. Oh well, mostly paid.

Thanks, good idea. Here we go.

Thanks, great system. Just don't want to drop it. :)

What happens if the jacks are already down and level? Do you start over or will it move from there. I want to inspect the brakes, one side at a time.

Anyone have a video link or ever used the Level up system to remove a tire or manually adjust system? I am always nervous to start to manually change the right or left settings when the trailer is level and on then jacks. The videos I have found only address leveling. I wanted to change a...

Thanks, simple tire was fast and price was great! They shipped to a Firestone dealer that said they couldn't mount that big of a tire? So I took them to a local Bell tire who helped me.

Just checked two double axle Torque units and both were failed.

Pulled all the wheels and each was working. Found a blown 30 amp trailer fuse in the truck. Fuse didn't look blown but replaced it any way and system worked. Fuse checked out, not sure what to think.

Electric brakes are not working. I accidentally pulled the emergency brakes pin when moving the hitch rearward. I tried to drive away and noticed the mistake. I re-pinned the EB and everything worked. A few miles later I got a trailer wiring warning message. All the lights worked but not the...

Reason number four to get under the trailer frequently. I was under the trailer inspecting things. I noticed that the suspension hitting the pipe holding the fuel lines and a slight smell of fuel. First it was smart to route the lines through some protection, but not in the path of the spring...

After my spring mount failure both rear tires are destroyed. They are Sailun ST235/85R16 G rated 14ply tires, I have 6 plus the spare. I haven't been able to find any around here. I did find the equivalent Goodyear tires for $310 a piece. An thoughts on both tire? I have read good and bad on...

Lippert just informed me that they would pay for the repair (haven't seen the check yet). All but $20 dollars of the repair (interesting) and $65 a tire for the damaged tires. The tires are $310 a piece so not exactly what the doctor ordered, but close. Lippert has been great to work with...

How has the hangers performed since the reinforcements were added. Still looking good?

What I find interesting is that Lippert does not have someone doing this repair that is a decent welder! Obviously he's a "Wanna Be" type.:p WB (No offense to anybody in particular) I think the issue is the hangers themselves. I have seen the underside of many a vehicle, this does not look...

Well Lippert has been responsive and I am expecting reimbursement for my expenses not confirmed yet). What I didn't know is that they have mobile crews to help customers in need and if I had called them first they would have fixed it for me on the road. Good thing to know and file away some...

Where did you get the set up?

I am wondering if I should upgrade something at this point? Has anyone put shocks or air bags on the rig to soften the ride for the toys. It's leaf springs without dampening after all.

Yes, springs got damaged when all three axles went sideways. Quite a bit of damage to the entire suspension. $2770 was a not to exceed number, perhaps it will be cheaper. Almost lost the entire rig. I might be getting a bit of I'll stop what I'm doing to fix you while you it in a hotel...

Still shaking, dreamed all night about what ifs.

Got a case number assigned already. Thanks.

Just had a close call yesterday. The rear spring hangers on my 2017 Cyclone 3800 failed and the trailer skidded sideways. Almost lost the rear axle and the entire rig. One of the welds is a cold/poor penetration weld. The rest failed when the axle went sideways. Its in a truck weld shop...

My 8 year old granddaughter noticed that mine was missing screws as well. It appears that the self taping screws were stripped and not holding anything much. They fell out quickly. There was only two per side and I suspect that it wasn't enough to hold it as well. I replaced all the screws...

Wow, I struggled with the same ? My wife and I went around and around comparing a Torque 345 to the Cyclone 3800 and the 20K difference. I wanted the cheaper torque and she wanted the Cyclone. She won of course and some friends bought the 345, we camp a lot together and compare. Every time I...

I have a 2017 3800 but that is were my toilet goes. Not much help.

Re: Both AC's run on 50 amp shore but not generator? Thanks Crussian, I popped the cover on the breaker box and moved one of the AC's to a different leg of the generator. Both AC breakers, the refrigerator and the electric HW were all on the same leg. It's the simple fixes in life that give...

Both of my AC units will run on the 50 amp shore power with everything else running (Electrical fridge, hot water, etc.). I camped this weekend (94 in September in Michigan go figure) on the generator only. I needed both AC units to keep up. I turned off the other electrical systems and could...

Just curious if anyone preps their roof for the winter other than a cover. Wax, special coating, manufactures recommendations? It seems that some type of prep would extend its life?

I see that the Cyclone 3800 floor plan has been deleted. Sorry to see it go. I am glad I got my 2017 before they were all gone.

I need to camp next to you for a week just to pick your brain. thanks danemayer.

Ok nothing near the TV that resembles a switch. The garage TV has nothing that resembles a switch. There is nothing on the antenna rotation device. The master closet has a small plastic panel with two cable attachments and a small switch that turns a green light on and off. Is this the...

Thanks for the input. I have been told several times I must shut the signal booster off. Where is the signal booster and shut off?

It is amazing how easy this was to fix. I have been fed a line of it is hard and takes a special grill since last year. Amazing that this isn't a little more widely known. I suppose no one wants to tell you to remove a hose. Fear of leaks maybe? There have been countless grills I could...

Your the best, this worked perfectly! Removed regulator hose and replace with strait propane QC hose. Easy

Perhaps this has been discussed before. I have a 2017 Cyclone 3800 that has a port on the side of the trailer that goes to the propane tank. It is a quick disconnect port. Can I hook up a grill to that port that uses full size propane tanks? If so where would I get a jumper hose that goes...

I would suggest going to the Ford site

Mine to, love my SRW and glad to get rid of the DRW. Heading to your neck of the woods in four weeks (for 3 weeks camping in the mountains) and glad to hear that the 2017 F350 will be just fine. I actually won a drag race, loaded, with some idiot in a Malabu that was trying to cut me off. He...

Normally these responses would be true, except.... The 2017 Ford Superduty F350 Diesel greatly upgraded the base and 5th wheel towing capability. I bought a 2017 SRW for that reason. The F350 now has a 21,000 lb 5th wheel tow capability. See this Superduty link...
