Thanks for the updates! I bit the bullet and bought a new carb from PPL Motor Homes and it cost me $240. Only took 15 minutes to install and the genset runs great.
Well. The solenoid on my carb finally failed on me. I was wondering if I can put an EFI setup on my old Onan Genset (circa 2008) and if so would it be worth it? If not I am going to have to buy the carb kit's that they sell on e-bay. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks, David.

I am selling my queen sized beds that came in the garage of my 2008 cyclone 3795. I have the full set up with the motor, racks, rails and the beds. Please PM me at santafedave if you are in the market for these. Thanks, David.
Well. After changing out the fuel, tapping on the carb, adding seafoam to the system, changing the air filter, oil and spark plugs I finally broke down and changed the fuel pump and filter. Guess what? My Onan 5500 now runs like a champ! Finally I can head back out to the desert and not have...
I just put about 2500 miles on my TH and anderson hitch. I had no problems backing up to my hitch. After a couple of times you get it. I have the system before the funnel which looks awesome by the way! I am going to find out it I can buy just the funnel and see if it adapts to the old one...
Try using Seafoam carb cleaner on your genset and then run a fuel stabilizer also check your altitude adjustment setting on the carb. For a tow hitch I recommend the Anderson hitch system (aluminum one). Works great and it is easy to remove after towing so you can have your truck bed back...
I have a 2008 3795 with the onan genset. I had problems with the genset not starting after 5 tries and throwing error codes. I took my trailer in to the certified onan maintenance facility and they ran diagnostics on it and said that my carb spring had failed. I suffered with this for 3 years...
To add to my earlier post. After rapping the solenoid a couple more times I continued to have problems with the genset. I changed the oil and air filters and used the seafood deep clean on the carb. This worked great. My genset starts with no problems now and doesn't search during loading...
Ok. Just tried this with my 5500 Onan. Wow! I have been having problems with my genset for years! I have changed the oil had service done at a cummins dealer ran seafoam the tank etc... I went out today started the genset rapped on the solenoid and bingo it started running great. I just...
How do you change the bulbs in the recessed lights? Do they unscrew or do you pull the whole light socket out? I am asking because when I tried to remove the light the whole thing turns. I have a 2008 cyclone and the recessed lights are above the bed. Thanks.
Re: Onan 5500
Hello TX. I had the same codes thrown on my 5500. I took it to a Cummins dealer and they inspected and repaired mine. Here was my complaint "Repair for genes codes 14." Correction "weak governor spring" the spring cost me $2.18 and the Labor $256.00. They did check...
Got it fixed. I hooked up shore water to my RV and keep the pressure low and she works now! Sometimes I have problems with my water pump I have to access it and get it to work if I have been on shore water that has a lot of pressure. Anyway I got boiling hot water and a brand new Anode. I...
Both on electric and propane I am only getting warm water. I had hot water before I changed the anode. I can't figure this out any suggestions? Thanks.
I have a 2008 3795 and it is still going strong. We are going to Sand Mountain, NV next week. I have put 6 new tires on, I had the Reico/Titan landing system installed, new covers for the vents on top and I the 5th airborne pinbox installed. I have been all over southern california, northern...
Hello. I have a 2004 F250 PS and I just replaced my alternator in my rig. If you remove your alternator and take it to Oreillys/Kragens they will test it for free. You can also take it down with your truck and they will test the batteries and the Power modulator for free. I replaced my...
I have a 2008 Cyclone and my unit came with 15 inch tires. I just replaced my tires with Carlisle ST225/75R15E1 117B's. What type of tires did you replace your blownout tires with?
Hey Dave. I caught a 175 lb halibut on a charter trip when I was in Homer. They have a lot of charter boats there. The captain took us all the way out to the Pacific Ocean. Lots of mountains to take pics of and the fishing was great! David.
I have the 75 gallon Transfer flow which gives me approx. 106 gallons of diesel. I love the extra tank because I can fill up at the truckstops and get a good price on diesel. Does add weight because of the baffels, but, they keep the fuel from sloshing around especially in turns. I have the...
Just happened to me last week. My credit union immediately canceled the card and gave me a new one at their main branch. There is nothing you can do about this except to file a police report and hope they catch the person's doing this. From what I understand the people who steal the numbers...
When I travel on the Interstates I like to sleep at the rest stops provided by the states. If you are only there 8 hours or less this is a good spot to get some sleep before you continue on your travels. You do get truck noise and car noise off of the freeways but it is easy to pull into and...
You did the right thing not letting him suffer. It is so hard to tell in they are in pain or not especially the warrier breed they never wanna show weakness. D.
The Hitch House in Stockton CA charged me 80.00 an hour and it took 10 hours to install. The owner said it took longer but he quoted me at 8-10 hours so that what he charged me. If you have a genset they have to remove it to get to the drivers side leveler. They also had to reset the spare...
Back when the internet first started I was trying to come up with a name and I looked out my window (I lived by the train tracks in Fairfield, Ca) and saw a Burlington Northern/Santa Fe train slow down behind my house and bingo there was my yahoo account name. D.
I just had the Rieco Titan ground control system installed on my Cyclone 3795. 4 Electric motors on each lift leg. Each motor is interchangable with the other and they are easy to remove. At camping world they wanted almost $7,000 to order and install a Hydraulic system and I paid 4,000 for...
Just had my Rieco Titan GCS installed by the Hitch House in Stockton, Ca. Check out my youtube video of the system on my 2008 3795 Heartland Cyclone. My youtube account is "DGsantafedave" Awesome system and you don't have to have all of the hydralics installed with the Rieco Titan.
I just bought this system from Bills RV in southern CA. It was 2299.00 plus tax and $50.00 shipping. Has anybody taken DIY pictures of the front jacks install, I have the Genset in the front and I was wondering if you have to remove the generator to get to the front landing gear? Thanks, David.
I have my 2008 Cyclone at Camping World and I am getting the HWH Hydrolic automatic leveling system installed. If you are a President's member with camping world the total price for the equipment is $3799.00 plus around $1,000 for install. I can't wait to not have to worry about getting stuck...
I have my 2008 Cyclone in the shop and they are looking at a propane leak, the tech states that the lines weren't snug (to the regulator) and that he is going to have to get underneath and look at the lines going to the stove. So far this has cost me 250.00 and they haven't found all of the...
Hey Lavadg did you upgrade to this system. I have my TT at Camping World and I would like them to install this upgrade and I would like to know how you like this. Thanks, David.
Did this conversion kit work for you? My landing gear has completly stopped working and the manual jack system doesnt' work either. I have my TT at Camping World and I am going to order this dual motor system and I would like to know if it worked out for you. (My landing gear up down switch...
Has anybody found out if they are installing this system (6 jacks) on the West Coast? I am interested in this and I hope Lippert has installers in the California area. D.
At 100 hours I changed over to Purple synthetic and I have no smoke. I start my genset at least once a month and run a load on it (those portable heaters work great) and I have 250 hours on mine now without any problems.
