    Connected to shore power during generator usage

    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...

    Hydraulic system leak

    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...

    Level Up

    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...

    Electric Brakes not working

    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...

    Suspension hitting Fuel Line

    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...

    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...

    SOLVED: Both AC's run on 50 amp shore but not generator?

    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...

    Winter roof prep

    Propane Quick Connect hookup to Grill

    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...

    Cyclone - Inside door handle

    The inside door handle does not have enough room to get my hand in and pull the door closed. The window frame on the door blocks handle access. I have investigated other options but noting I like, most interfere with the screen door sliding cover. Any improved handles or other ideas to fix?

    Cyclone 3800 Awnings

    I'll have to say, even with the little issues I have had to fix I really really LOVE our 2017 Cyclone 3800. One of the things that attracted us to this model was the mega slide on the entree door side with the huge windows. When the boss saw the layout it was over. Plenty of interior...

    Information Is Great

    Since the toy haulers (Cyclone, Road W, Edge and Torque) are all sister vehicles with similar issues it would be nice to combine those four forums. I find surfing each that there is valuable info. Not all are very active, but combined you would get more traffic and build tighter community...

    Second bed in garage removal.

    Has anyone removed the top bed in their garage. I need to remove mine for more height clearance to the couch bed. I think its a simple removal of a couple of pins. Once removed will the motorized couch bed go higher, or is it limited to its current height? I don't want to permanently remove...

    2017 Cyclone 3800 sound system

    Tackling the sound system. Several issues/observations and wondering if anyone else tackled these on a Cyclone 3800 or any similar model. 1) The main room sound system has a surround sound system that works with the blue-ray system but not with the TV. Has anyone rewired this to work with the...

    ATF: Cyclone - Water Tanks

    Are there separate fills for the two water tanks on my unit? I see that I have 100 gallons of water and it is in two tanks. When I fill on the input to tank does it fill both? It seemed to fill fast for 100 gallons? and the one overflow (appears to be two white overflows dumping by main...

    SOLVED: AHHHHHHH Leaks

    We bought our 2017 Cyclone 3800 at the end of the season last year so yesterday I started getting it ready for our first real camping trip outside of the back yard. Hooked it up to the hose to fill up the tank and chase all of the antifreeze out of the system. All the pressure systems are...

    SOLVED: Furnace not working (closed, then slowly opened valve)

    Ran the heat on one of the propane tanks until dry on my 2017 Cyclone 3800. My bad? So I switched tanks and ran the stove like I was taught to purge the line. Then I turned on the furnace, nothing. Checked the fuse, we are good. Any thoughts on how to get the furnace running again?

Now I have my 2017 Cyclone 3800 and what's the first thing I did? I hit a tree branch on my way into my driveway ( a driveway that was fine with my old 11'4"...

    2017 Cyclone 3800 lock failure

    The 2017 Cyclone 3800 has been a great trailer so far. Except the rear deadbolt lock jammed and I couldn't get in the rear door. I took it apart but the lock had some internal issues, the key couldn't even be inserted. I didn't want to take it to the dealer for just a lock replace so I called...

    Put the battery in backwards, feeling dumb

    Tried to reinstall the battery in the dark and put it in backwards. OUCH Noticed it when the lights didn't work and got a flashlight to do it right. Now the battery seems disconnected from the trailer. Did I trip a switch somewhere?

    Well my new Cyclone 3800 is 13 feet 3 inches tall, a number I won't soon forget. My old trailer was 11 feet 2 inches, 2 feet taller. Went to cover it for the winter and found several items broken, knocked off or cut including the corner of the roof front to back. Apparently one of my tree...

    3800 Cyclone improvements

    A few things I would like to see in the design and few things I really like. 1) Storage under the Queen bed. Why no storage under the bed, can I modify? 2) rear deck fence/gate around rear deck does not have proper tie down/storage when stowed. the two Velcro straps don't hold the two halves of...

    ATF: Cyclone - Sliding Glass Door

    Just picked up my new 2017 Cyclone 3800. Love it. The sliding glass door is hard to slide rearward, it is also sagging to that side. I suspect that the spring/roller on the rear of the door is broken. The door doesn't seem to lift out, although I would have thought it would. How do I take...

    ATF: Cyclone - Hydraulic 6 point leveling

    Is there a video on using this 6 point Lippert leveling system. Just picked up my 3800 this weekend and got it off the truck. Seemed easy enough. Used the switch in front to lower the fronts to disconnect the truck, then hit auto level to level the 3800, worked great. Putting it back to the...

    5th Wheel Hydraulics

    Just bought my first 5th wheel (moved from a 30ft travel trailer) and have never "parked" the unit. It has hydraulic self leveling system. Can I leave it all winter on the hydraulics or do i need to lower it onto the tires and put something under the truck attachment point? Does it leak down...

    Cyclone 3800
