Has anyone installed a hitch to their toy hauler? If so, how did you reinforce the frame for the install?

Update on blowing the 12V 50A fuse as it relates to opening/closing my hydraulic operated slides. Please see earlier posts to catch up.....if you're so inclined. Thanks to danemeyer above, he posted a link to a manual from Heartland discussing slideout starts/stops. In the manual, one of...

Question to the community. RE: Conversation above from Danemayer regarding link to Hydraulic Slideout Starts and Stops guide. Reading through the guides, the issue with blowing the 12V/50Amp breaker when operating the slides and leveling jacks is likely caused by amperage draw above 50 amp...

NYS: Thank you for the detailed explanation. I understand perfectly. Thank you so much for the time you took in this conversation. Time for me to get to work and get this darn thing fixed for good, ha. I appreciate everyone's posts and guidance. Sometimes it takes a team and I'm glad...

Let me understand what you did. My wife says I'm a moron so I need a bit of babysitting. General question: Do you have a copper bus bar connecting all the 12V50amp breakers, or are yours individual breakers with their own hot wires like BST's photo above? Mine has the copper bus bar. So you...

Just reviewed the manuals for Hydraulic Slide Starts and Stops and also 12V Block Diagram & Diagnostics. Very useful. Thank you very much for posting the link. My batteries are the original ones that came with my Cyclone in 2017. For the first 3 years I had no breaker issues, then it...

Per BST above. Here's the breaker in question. I've had to replace mine on a regular basis and now keep about 5 on-board. This fuse also guards your Leppert auto leveling system. It's quite frustrating. Worked fine for the first 3 years and now I need to replace it about every 3 trips. I'm...

One of my awnings blows the fuse, located in the exterior wall mount behind a removable aluminum cover. I tried to search the problem by chasing power but can't find the problem. I purchased a bunch of fuses and don't turn the lights on that awning if it's raining or shortly thereafter...

Anyone who's replaced their awning mounted LED tape lights purchased these? If so, do you have an on-line source. I'll try Heartland parts but want to know my options. Thanks, Brad

Silvasp1: I, as you, are looking for a suitable replacement LED tape light replacement for my CY3611JS awnings. My LED's are on the awning's roll up bar and I'd like to replace in the same place. Did you, or anyone else know where one can purchase the LED's that fit in the roller's groove?

Made contact with Heartland parts. Sure'nuff they were having phone in issues. When I finally got in I ordered my replacement ladder parts, they were shipped and it's time to install. Thanks all for your assistance. Happy Camping. Brad

Thank you. Emailing them now.

That may explain why all 3 numbers ring w/o answering. Thank you.

Here we go again! When I finally get a good phone number for ordering parts from Heartland, the phone number(s) ring busy, as if they are not monitored any longer. The numbers I'm calling are 844-963-7953 (noted on my order confirmation in February 2022). Haven't received the order and can't...

Barbara: We have a 2017 Cyclone CY3611JS. 40' long front to end cap. 17,000# gross, with Dexter 7,000# axles. I'm considering upgrading to 8K axles, springs, and accessories. When I look through Dexter axles, the 8K axles, the hub face to hub face (HF) dimensions are wider than the 7K stock...

Thank you, Dan for your quick response. I researched the MorRyde system this morning. Did you upgrade your load capacity from 7k to 8k? If so, did you use the 7k or 8k rubber dampening springs. In a video I saw, the MorRyde representative said it was an option so you could soften the ride...

Dan: Did you change from axles/leaf springs to the MorRyde Independent Suspension? Or did it come on your unit stock?

I looked up your information and it's exactly what I need to get me rolling until I can figure out what new axles and suspension I want. I have Dexter 7,000# axles now and want to go to 8,000# axles for some weight reserve. Thanks tons for the info. Brad

Thank you for your assistance. Just so happens I had a recall to fix while on the road on my 2020 RAM 3500 Dually Longhorn. While there, I had the dealer check to make sure all was working on the truck side. Also, I have a gauge on the dash that reads the voltage (by graph) to the trailer...

Thank you very much for your quick and concise reply. Have a great day, Brad

I'm traveling and my brakes stopped working on the RV. I checked the vehicle's controller and all's good to the plug in. I don't see any broken wires from the trailer's plug in to the double axle's brakes. Is there a fuse somewhere that i can check. My owner's manual has no related...

Thanks CabinDoc.

We'll be heading to Orlando Florida area in a couple of months. Anyone know which route (along the coast or upper states) is the best way, with minimal "bad" roads? Thanks, Brad

We also have a 2017 CY 3611 JS and absolutely love it! We travel quite a bit in it, using a RAM 3500 dually....excellent choice. We replaced last year the leaf springs, bearings, and bolts after one broke when I hit a pot hole in a construction zone. Other mods: I rebuilt the master bedroom...

Does anyone know which replacement slide seal is used on my Cyclone 5th wheel? There appears to be a number of profiles offered. I have looked at mine and it's difficult to tell how to replace them. Thanks, Brad

I need the vertical guide on one side of my awning on my Cyclone 5th wheel. I forgot to retract it and went to bed, a fricking wind storm happened pulling the vertical guide off the trailer and bending it. Fortunately, I was to straighten part of it but the bottom part broke because aluminum...

Thank you for your input. - - - Updated - - - Looking into the Torklift steps now. My wife wants the fold down steps like they're installing in most all new trailers, but i can't use them as the guy that parks next to me in the storage shed is too close to let the steps down.

Very interesting. Looks like the side to side (lateral) movement in the connection plates could result in a weld failure. I think I'm gonna install some later residing angles.

Project Replace Steps Update. First, a big thank you for those sharing their step replacing experiences with me. All I wanted to do is replace the original steel step systems with aluminum steps, both the fold up and stow away types. Turns out Heartland and I guess the steel fold away step...

I just purchased new steps for my 2017 CY 3600 JS, front and back doors. The new step systems are Lippert Alumi-treads, quad. I've done no investigation as to how to remove the existing all steel step systems yet, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone has done it and what perils I'm about to...

Very interesting. I'll look into it also. Thanks for the information.

Mid be most interested to know how the repair goes and what the cross strut is for. Thanks, Brad

Yeah, it's a mystery to me too. For my worn tire, i had a somewhat loose wheel bearing so i tightened up the nut. The wear only happened on one (1) trip from S. Padre Island to my home in Frisco Tx. and i was hauling quite a bit of unbalanced weight in the garage. Golf car, fans, tool boxes...

Thanks for the reply. We'll try and make an event soon.

Heartland: I've given up on Heartland Company and the dealership I purchased from for any meaningful assistance. Heartland company (even through I've documented my issues very well) has not followed through with their interest and when it was time for them to actually do...

I see a pattern with the Cyclone 3611 JS. I've had these same issues along with uneven tire wear. I've replaced the leaf springs (stock) and upgraded the wheels and tires to "H" rated with much stronger wheels. Have you made all the upgrades you suggest? If so, where did you purchase the...

I haven't attended an event....yet but interested in making one soon. So what goes on at the rally? People meet and greet, hanging out drinking ice tea, and travel stories? Hey, sounds like a usual RV park with all the new people we meet on the way, ha.

Here's my left rear tire wear and my broken Heartland wheel (broke 2 of them).

Update: I just improved my stock tires and rims and tires to 17 1/2" aluminum rims and load range H Sailuns, 215/75R17.5. I did this after 2 of my stock aluminum rims broke....yes, broke. First one broke on my way home from San Diego where several spokes had full penetration cracks through...

Thank you for your reply. Yes sir, I have used both positions. The 1st position that runs the air through the 4 roof registers, the quieter option. And, the 2nd position that pushes air straight down into the cabin. The 2nd position works better, but if really cold (near or below freezing)...
