Hey gang, I've searched this forum but only seem to find threads on using something like the Ranch Hitch adapter that converts from 5th wheel to gooseneck, or the Anderson Ultimate setup. My question is different. Have any of you used the Gooseneck to 5th Wheel adapters such as the B&W or Curt...

So I made a little upgrade over the weekend. Traded off my 2003 Ram 2500 for this 2009 Ram 3500 dually - Pretty clean truck, has a few issues, but it's a 14 year old used vehicle. 6.7 Cummins diesel, 4x4, 6-speed manual. It currently has a gooseneck in the bed, I'll be looking to get some 5th...

Hey gang, I've got a 2008 Cyclone 4012 and I believe it has the Thetford toilet in it with the ball valve that never holds water. My question is fairly simple, is it possible to replace this toilet with a Dometic toilet? Are the bases a standard mount? Or is this more complex than a simple...

Hey guys, I've got a 2008 Cyclone 4012. We've owned it for a few years now and have not had a problem with the slides...yet. We had it parked most of this winter, along side our house like always, with all three slides retracted. We've always stored it with the slides retracted like that and...

Hey gang, So I've got a pretty serious problem on my 2008 Cyclone 4012. This is also a good reminder to NEVER loan your RV out. I own this trailer and an enclosed car trailer and literally every time I loan one of them out it comes back broken. Like they said back in that D.A.R.E. campaign...

Hey guys, Headed back home after out first actual big camping trip. We dry camped for 4 days. So when we stopped on our way to fill the fresh water tank, I assumed I got it full because it started overflowing at the fill port. So I pulled the hose out and it started basically belching water out...

Hey guys, so I've got my beloved 2008 Cyclone 4012, and the dining table is super wobbly. It's a typical 3-post setup and for whatever reason it just never stays put. I've replaced some of the cups due to them being broken when I got the unit, but it's still wobbly and often comes loose and...

Okay, maybe not so quick. More of a discussion than a question too. Maybe my topic is way off. :p So here's the thing gang. I've got a 2008 4012. My understanding is that the plumbing is all contained inside the underbelly cavity, not "exposed" to the elements. We live in the PNW, where it's...

Hey gang, I know, my best friend is the search tool. But I've tried using it for days now to no avail. So here's my question. I've got a 2008 Cyclone 4012 and I can NOT find the fresh water drain. The only way I know to drain the fresh water tank is to use the pump and drain it out the LPD of...

Hey guys, Figured I'd better fire up the generator before our big outing this week. Wouldn't you know it, it won't run. :( I put fuel in the tank until it was about 3/4 full. I read somewhere that the generator won't run if it is below 1/4 tank, so that was the first move. So she's got fuel in...

Okay gang, I think I posted this one last year when I first purchased our unit. But I need to revise this one because it has come time to actually do the heavy lifting here. I've got a 5 day long stint planned at the NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways and that AC is gonna be important...

Hey gang, Curious to see what some of you are doing or have done regarding better FM reception. Yes, I'm also aware that a ton of you are gonna say "Just get a XM/Satellite radio", but I don't have the money to swap out the stereo for an XM unit, so let's stick to the FM setups here. I've read...

Hey gang, So I have several questions regarding the monitor panel on my '08 4012. Keep in mind we purchased this unit used and have very little experience with it and got zero demo of anything on it, so everything is trial by error for us here. The panel looks like this (except mine is black) -...

Is there a place I can buy a replacement ladder for my 2008 Cyclone 4012? It was MIA when I purchased the unit. Clearly the former owner hung it on something.

Anyone done an outdoor tv mount on a 2008 Cyclone 4012? I'm just kind of looking at ideas for how to go about it, where to put it, how it would look and how it would function.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram that might show the Rockford Fosgate Punch surround sound system as used on the 2008 Cyclone? My unit came with this setup and I'd like to find a wiring diagram that shows how the surround sound system connects to the DVD player and/or CD player, and then how...

Hey gang, I'll be digging through the water heater troubleshooting posts and links to try and find something that will help me. But I figured I'd throw this out there for the collective knowledge, maybe someone has some advice here. We took the unit out in October for a weekend getaway at our...

Hey gang, My 2008 Cyclone 4012 has this odd looking bracket on the kitchen ceiling, kind of "in front of" the fridge. Any idea what once lived in it? I'm sure someone has seen this bracket somewhere, no?

Anyone ever do one of those "RVshare" or "Outdoorsy" type deals where you rent your RV out, kinda like an RV AirBnB? I'm just curious what the actual realities of it are vs the picture perfect realities they show online. Also wondering what the reality of a 41' toyhauler would be. Kinda limited...

Hey guys, So my unit is a 2008 Cyclone 4012 that we purchased used, from a small lot, with no intro to the systems or anything. It has a UDC that looks EXACTLY like this - The biggest thing to note is that mine has NO stickers on it to say what does what. None, not a single sticker is left...

So, this may sound like a retarded question, and that's fine with me. We got our Cyclone used, so there was no "Here's how everything works" demo or anything and most of the manuals we got were not necessarily for equipment in our RV. for example, I have about 5 different CD player manuals, none...

Hey guys, I have a Heartland Cyclone, it has some little straps to hold the dinette table to the wall in the garage area when traveling. I'd like some more of those straps for other tables and such that I'd like to secure to the wall while traveling as well. Where do I get them? What are they...

Looking for a Carefree "Outback" rear ramp door screen room and awning for a toyhauler. Anyone got one for sale?

Hey gang, Looking for some general input on when you guys winterize your units. We tend to go camping more in the September through February months because that's when my racing season is over. Should I be worrying about winterizing it between each outing during that time? Or should i just be...

Hey gang, Wife and I just purchased a used 2008 Cyclone 4012. During our first real use of it we found out that the stereo in the main entertainment center has some issues. While the AM/FM part worked great and was able to pick up stations that others parked next to us couldn't, when I tried to...

Hey gang, Wife and I purchased a used 2008 Cyclone 4012. After our first weekend with it my father-in-law noticed a bubble in the side panel, like the outer skin had de-laminated or something. I simply didn't spot it during our purchasing process. He says it is an indication of a water leak in...

Hey gang, As stated in other posts, we purchased a used 2008 Cyclone 4012. The previous owner managed to rip the ladder off the driver's side. Is there a place we can purchase a replacement ladder and the ladder mounts and do it ourself? Or is this something we have to take it to a repair guy for?

Hey guys, So our 2008 Cyclone has the electric bunks in the garage area. Easy enough to raise and lower, but what I can't seem to figure out is how to pin the top bunk so it stays up and only the bottom bunk lowers. Here's my questions: Does anyone have a picture, or diagram, or anything that...

Hey guys, The wife and I just purchased a used 2008 Cyclone 4012. Beautiful trailer, loving it. Planning on taking it out for the holiday weekend. We purchased it from a very small sales lot and they really didn't do a demo of any of the systems, it was more "As you can see everything works", so...
