    Our Dicor roof coating experience

    Well a few weeks after our reseal and the roof looks good. However I discover a couple of things I thought I’d pass on just in case it helps others. 1st, the next day and a few days after the the re coating it appears there is some orange/ brownish sticky stuff on the roof. I believe it is the...

    Our Dicor roof coating experience

    I forgot to mention one thing. I was worried about the age of the product. On the bottom of the cans there is a radial date. 3 of my cans had a 12/18 date and one had a 9/18. I don’t know what the shelf life is but mine seemed ok.

    Our Dicor roof coating experience

    Day 2 about 3:30 PM. 91 degrees out side and the roof is nice and dry. What is really impressive is the roof has been baking all day in the direct sun and it is cool to the touch. It has a rubbery texture and I'm sure you could walk on it bare foot without burning your feet. Hopefully that will...

    Our Dicor roof coating experience

    This weekend the wife and I declared the roof of our 2011 cyclone 3010 36' trailer so I figured I'd share. 3 weeks ago I replaced my skylite over the shower, which was a pretty easy experience. So while doing that I resealed all the vents as well.. Spring all that we noticed how the white roof...

    My $40 LED light conversion

    While this upgrade for me falls into the "you get what you pay for" I figured for $40 I would give it a shot. So far every thing is good but time will tell. The t-10 adapters are a bit on the flimsy side but do work. I checked the lights out last night in the dark and things in the trailer are...

    My $40 LED light conversion

    So I bought 20 led light panels to change the bulk of the lights in my cyclone. I changed the ones I use the most. I probably could use another 10. I decided to use "white" color led's intead of the warm color. I changed the 2 bulbs in the dining room light as well as the one in the over the...

    Anyone using 5k to 6k led replacement light bulbs?

    I'm about to order some flat panel replacment led bulbs (1141) for my trailer. Most people here ssem to be using led in the "warm" color range (3k to 4k). I was wondering if any of you have tried the 5k to 6k range. If so do you like them or are they too bright and to white? Thanks Doug

    Decal fading

    I haven't noticed any fading per say but all the dark blue portions of my decals are cracking badly. Not sur if there is anything you can do except limiting the direct sun as much as much as possible. I know h.l. Won't do anything. good luck.

    What clearance lights are on '10 cy3010?

    I have a cracked amber running light on the top right and a rear top red marker light. How that one got cracked is odd to me nut it is. Oddly enough that one wasn't working and I that it was a bulb, but some how the light wire pulled out of the crimp. All fixed now but the cover is still...

    What clearance lights are on '10 cy3010?

    Hi I found I have couple cracked clearance lights on my cyclone. They do not have a part number I can read on them. I was wondering if anyone might have an idea what they might be. They have a textured lense with a smooth looking "plus" area in it. Not that this matters so long as they fit...

    Proud to show off my $50k+ Trailer....

    The first time I posted this and they did get in touch with me, they told me that they don't use that vender any more but are using a new vender. Then they informed me that if I did get new decals made that they might not be the same size but might vary by 1/4 inch in either way. That would be...

    Proud to show off my $50k+ Trailer....

    Re: Facts of life . . . Yes we are in s. Cal. Both thy sides are equally as bad. The big decal and the gray strips are fine, it's just any stripes of dark blue. I have bedn been thinking of just removing those only and leaving them the faded white since that looks like stripes, but I...

    Some of you might have seen my previous post about this, but I figured I'd show some updated quality photos. As you can see there is defenantly an issue with the dark blue decals. Hopefully heartland is as happy about this as I am. To be fair the first time I posted this they contacted me but at...

    Grease ?

    Cool, thanks guys, I feel better. Amazing that you found the specific faq question, thanks There is the grease seal in back to keep it all in. I'm surprised it doesn't drip out of the bearing nut on the front side though. It doest leak so I guess all is good. Thanks again.

    Grease ?

    So a while ago I put disk brakes on the trailer. Upon lots of reading I packed the bearings with mobil 1 synthetic bearing grease. So in the mean time my grease gun still has the Mobil 1 loaded in it and sits in my workshop. Since there is no cooling in the workshop it can get hot and I've...

    My last Heartland rv---

    <p> Just to be fair, I did say "decal(S) on both sides". But yes, all of them but not including front or back or any text. But to find out that the new ones "might not fit" is really unacceptable. Who's going to pay that kind of money to find out that they don't fit and since the decals have to...

    My last Heartland rv---

    Well, the original post was more about my experience with "Heartland" then the decals themselfs. The lack of appreciation and concern for there product baffles me. But on that note, now they are saying it will be $1800 for the decals on both sides and that they might not even be the same but...

    My last Heartland rv---

    Twice I called parts. They said I had to order each area separatly. Both times the girls said they could email me over a pdf of the trailer w part numbers and I could choose which decals I wanted. Both times, the pdf's didn't arrive. Yes, I used 2 different email address just in case. I haven't...

    My last Heartland rv---

    As some of you might know I posted a question / gripe about the decals cracking and coming off my 3year 4month old cyclone. So I sent Heartland customer support a note about it and behold they gave me a call back about it. I told them about the issue and that I had previously owned a 10year rv...

    Both entry doors are cracked on inside...how to fix?

    Well 1 door is done. Came out pretty good. Wouldn't even notice if you didn't know. I bought 2 sheets of the .09x4'x8' fpr white sheets. The sheets are maybe twice as thick as the original sheet which works good because after I cut of the old sheeting it takes up the gap of some of the missing...

    Both entry doors are cracked on inside...how to fix?

    Well I dug into my rear door today to see what to expect before trying this repair. I removed the lower frame by removing the 4 screws. Then I removed the door lock, and the outside door latch holder. To get the door frame off and the insert out I had to take a thin knife and go around the...

    Gel Coat Cracking with Decals

    I just talked to a rv body shop this morning about painting on the striping. They were saying that the type of fiberglass they use on the trailers is different then say a corvette and the darker color decals will generate enough heat behind them to actually spider the glass as well. Who knew...

    Gel Coat Cracking with Decals

    Sandpirate, I posted the same thing a few months ago that my decals are doing the same on my '10 3010 cyclone. However, I can't say if the gel is cracking but I sure hope not. I'm not. Sure how it would though. Maybe it's the difference between sun faded white and not. (Fingers crossed it's not...

    Both entry doors are cracked on inside...how to fix?

    Rear door Front door it does does look like the frame might come off and new inserts could be installed. However you might be right that the plastic is molded to foam.

    Both entry doors are cracked on inside...how to fix?

    So my '10 3010 has a horizontal crack in each entry door. Both are in the white panel on the inside of each door. One looks like it started from the window cutout towards the outer edge. The other door runs from each side. Has anyone else had this happen? Any idea if the inside panel can be...

    When you get into truck tires you can look into other tire brands as well. The quality / build is different. I did the coopers and so far great tires.

    Interesting idea. Thanks all for the input as well. Right now the master bed takes up 1 electric plane. the upper bunk takes up an electric glider and the floor is usually ocupied by 3 dirt bikes and 1 or 2 helicopters and a 1/5 scale gas truck.. I'm not quite sure one 1/4 scale airplane is...

    Ok, all you R/c modelers. I'm looking for ideas for a transportation rack / idea for the garage in my cyclone. However, I still need to carry 3 dirt bikes as well. I'm good with the helicopters because they just fit anyplace. However, I'm thinking about a 84" large scale plank to take with me...

    Cyclone-Rear door suggestions on a fix ?....

    Well, I kind of have to do something. Those indentation / wear in the door frame are almost 3/16" or deep. Sine these marks are basically at the top and bottom of the latching tube then that is pretty much the only place they meet. So the tube I'm putting is probably about the thickness do what...

    Cyclone-Rear door suggestions on a fix ?....

    So I finally paid attention to why my hands started having black on them every time I handled the rear door. Seems that the aluminum of the locking handles are rubbing thru the door frame. So I found a fix for now, however I'm sure there must be a way to improve on it. So any suggestions are...

    Cracking decals....Anyone replaced?

    Well my 2010 cyclone now has a case of the cracking decals on one side of the trailer. Has anyone removed the existing decals and replaced them? Is it something I can do or should I let a pro do it? If I can what s the best way to remove and replace? I suspect it will cost way to much to have...
