    Fuel Pump Door Problems

    Has anyone had problems with the door covering the fuel pump rotting from the inside out on their Cyclone? I have not used the pump for quite some time, not at all this year, but I needed to remove some fuel in the tank yesterday, and upon opening the fuel pump door, I found it had begun to...

    Replaced dinette with booth dinette

    Looks like it came with it! I see they even moved the power outlet to under the seat so you didn't lose the power outlet from the wall. I have been looking to do the opposite, go from a dinette, which really only seats 2 comfortably, but has a lot of storage, to a table and chairs. We have...

    What kind of MPG do you get whle towing?

    With an 08 F450, 4.88 Gears, pulling a 07 3795 Cyclone at around 16K lbs, I get between 6-8 Miles per gallon. When its just the F450, I get about 10 around town, maybe as high as 12 on the highway. I tow at no higher than 65mph and when just the F450 I also keep it about 65 mph. It's a...

    Waste Water Flush

    I had a very similar experience with my 2007 Cyclone the first time I used the flush system. Turns out the manufacturer had put several metal screws through the hose that feeds the flush system when attaching the walls. The dealer had to take the walls apart to replace the hose as it was...

    3850 behind a F350

    Grizz, Yes, I believe you are reading it correctly. My 3795 Cyclone is also max'd out at 18000 lbs. My F450 with automatic transmission has a 5th wheel capacity of 24,000 lbs. (But I'm betting that's at sea level and on a level road!) If the numbers are accurate (and they should be) the F350 and...

    3850 behind a F350

    Grizz, I get between 6-10 mpg depending on the grade. 10 being flat. The computer mileage calculation is off by about 1 mpg, high. So it will tell me I'm getting better than I really am. I check it the old fashion way. Keep in mind though, I pull in the Colorado mountain area, so my...

    3850 behind a F350

    Grizzlander, I agree with Jim. You'll want to consider the F450 as with a full gas tank for the toy/generator, 100 gallons of water (if not available where camping), the toy, food, clothes, etc. you'll definitely want to have some flexibility in your towing capability. I have the 2008 F450...

    Sani Flush leak

    I had a similar experience with my 2007 Cyclone the first time I used the sani-flush. Turns out the installers had put a screw through the line when putting the bathroom walls in. The dealer had to dis-assemble the walls to repair the problem. No issues since then. Hope yours is simply a...

    Tires & Rims - Our Story

    I was wondering if anyone who has had their RV tires balanced has had problems with the weights coming off during turns as the sidewalls flex? I also had mine balanced when Heartland and the Axle manufacturer replaced all 6 because of the axles not being welded true, but can't seem to keep the...

    Bunk ladder

    Agree 100% that the stock ladder is painful for anyone to use, especially in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom! After extensive on-line searches for a better made replacement ladder, i came to the conclusion that one didn't exist. The one provided by Heartland seems to be the...

    Disappearing Tires

    I had a similar issue on my 2007 Cyclone. After returning from an approx 2400 mile round trip I found all 6 tires worn. When I checked them before leaving the day before they were fine. I also checked them at the campsite as well as the torque of the lug nuts. Everything was in spec. It was...

    Any Regrets

    We bought our 2007 Cyclone 3795 in Jun 2006. It is our second RV. Our first was 28' ALJO. In 8 yrs of towing it around America where the Air Force sent us, we only had one minor problem with the furnace. And it served as our temporary home on many an assignment. After reading this owners...
