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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I'm interested in some after market parts for my onan gen. Any one using a different brand of oil? Also spark plugs. I read a post about plugs, the NGK BPR4EY that might fit. I'll order the fuel filter and oil filter on line I guess unless someone found an alternative. I have the 5.5 hgjab spec...

Went to the Los Angeles rv show at the Fairplex and what I learned is I'm glad I bought 3 years ago because a new rv is expensive, or at least new toybox 5th wheels. Things I noticed though. The colors are nicer. The size of the showers haven't increased any. Seems like a lot of mfg's have...

So I'm the process of adding Kodiak disk brakes to the trailer. My cyclone has Lippert axles that have zerk grease fittings on the end of them. Are we using them to grease? I have packed the bearings and put some grease on the axles before the install. After a year I plan on re packing the...

Like a few others here in the forum I'm starting my disk brake upgrade on my 2010 cyclone 3010. First off I'd like to thank "Cookie" for the inspiration I got from his disk brake upgrade. His video and web page has made this possible. Well, that and the local shop wants way to much $ to do it...

So I'm now looking for good quality wheel bearing to use in these kodiak disk brakes. I've been reading that Timkin makes good bearings but I've been starting to see that some of them are made in Mexico and not the states. E trailers is selling both redline and truryde but I'm not finding any...

So I'm finally about to do my disk brake upgrade and want to make sure before I order a set of kodiak disk that the lippert axles I have are the #42. I remember a long while ago there was a link to a PDF that had some specs. I can't seem to find that or any info at lippert. Any thoughts on...

Well it that time again when I'm thinking about putting disk brakes on the cyclone. My local dealer wants to use the Dexter hydraulic actuator in stead of the Carlisle controller I was wanting to use. I can't seem to find the info I was looking for so my question is if anyone is using the dexter...

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a cover for my cyclone (5th wheel). I was wondering if the idea of having a cover wears off after having to put it on a few times. in the end is it pretty hard or time consuming to install / remove? is it worth it? Thanks Doug

Hi so we just got our direct tv installed. We recieved an extra d12 standard reciever to take on weekend camping trips. I'm still trying to decide on an a portable antenna to take with us. so now it's onto power options. I'm guessing any basic antenna will get its power from the rx as well as...

So I was in SAMs club to day and I ordered direct tv. We have 3 hd tv's in thy house and the Jensen in the trailer. (Part time weekend campers) We ordered there "genie" with 3 satellite boxes for the tv's in the hose and one standard receiver for the trailer. None of the 4 boxes cost me out of...

HHim hoping someone might know the power rating for the Jensen tv that came with my 2011 3010. I believe it is a 26" tv. The rating tag seems to be behind the mounting bracket. So I'm hoping not to have to remove it. Im wanting to power it thru an inverter so as notto have to run it at night...

So my cyclone has lippert axles on it. I have a service manual on the trailer axle operation and service manual. The question I have is does this mean I have a frame from lippert as well as the spring? I am researching putting on 7 leaf springs rated at 8k lbs vs 7k lbs. I think this might...

I think I want to adjust or try to adjust my slideout myself. The top leans in. 3 question arise. There are 2 verticle bolts that look like they adjust the tilt. Is that true? (the adjusting part) Do I need to loosen anything prior to adjusting those bolts? It looks like the 8 if loosen will...

Hi i was thinking of taking my cyclone in to have the slideouts adjusted. I was wondering while the trailer was in was it worth while to have the landing gear serviced, however I'm not sure if there is anything they can do. It seems like they are pretty much burried. Anyone have any idea if...

So the wife and I did our Utah trip once again. We went back to Bryce Canyon just outside the national park. We spent a week there and had a great time with great weather. It rained on our 3rd day so the dust was at a minimum after that. We stayed at Kings campground. Running water and a...

So the last time out my fuel pump acted up but started working again. Of course I went out to the trailer this past weekend to get some fuel for the lawn mower<G> and the pump would work. So I pulled it out and dug into it. Thinking that there might be something stuck in the pump gears because I...

So between cutting a sidewall in one of the tow max tires, a slow leak in another (same trip) and getting low on tread it was time for new tires. The wife and I decided we would go with "big boy" truck tires. 16 ply steel sidewall tires are really stout. We had to replace the old rims with new...

I have a 2010 3010 cyclone and I'm thinking of doing a disk brake upgrade on it. I was wondering if it was worth while to put on 8k kodiak disks vs 7k. It doesn't seem to be much of a price or size difference between them. Thanks for any input. Doug

Hi I'm considering getting 17.5" wheel with some brand yet to be determined, of truck tires. As with my old trailer and now my 5th wheel I've learned the hard way to always run max pressure in the tires. If I go to 125 psi truck tires on 7k axles, are you guys running max psi in them or actual...

Yes I've searched this forum as well another and I'm not finding all that I seek so I'd appreciate some help. Ive managed to wear out the Towmax tires on my cyclone 3010 as well as I managed to cut the sidewall on one this weekend. So I'm pondering going to 110psi rims and tires. I haven't yet...

So after having the same issues as alot of people with the shurflo pump, I replaced mine with a Flojet vsd. While this pump seems to work better it is turning out it might have 1 issue. It seems that it takes the pump a bit to bring the source water back up to the pump. It is like after it's...

So my 2010 3010 cyclones water pump is acting up. It's now out of its one year warentee. There is time it won't do anything, then playing with it for a few minutes it will turn on. Last trip out it would never turn off but just lightly run. After talking to shurflows service, and adjusting the...

Our last outing our MW jumped out of the track. I pulled the 4 corner screw caps off the outside beauty frame, then removed it. I used a very small straight screwdriver to pop them out. Then after reseatting the MW into the track I got a piece of wood, but any thing will work, that was about...

I noticed today that when I extend or retract the landing gear that the motor pivots on the cross shaft. It moves about 3 inches then stops. when I go the other direction the motor rotates on the shaft in the other direction. While this looks like more a add on motor then a built in assembly...

I was wondering if I would be able to get 2 dirt bikes and a rzr in the garage? On paper it looks good, but not sure on the execution with tie downs. While I do not have the rzr, I would loke to know before the wife "impulse" buys, (she's on the edge). Doug

Typically the wife and I have been heading to the trail system close to Bryce national park, and through the Beaver area. We really like the camping towards the tropic reservoir area.Any ways we would like to find something like that around the salt lake city area. We are driving from los...

I thought I'd share what I did to put the factory cover back over the newly installed 5th airborne pin box. Photo1 was taken from another here in the forum. Fitted the cover on the pin box to the point that there wasn't to much flexing going on and I like the fit. I then marked through the...

You bet!<G> So I spoiled our trailer last week. I added a new 5th airborne pin box as well as a set of dexter e-z flex. We took a trip to Yosemite last weekend and boy what a difference these items made. The ride was way better than before. Even the wife noticed the first mile out. I really...

My main slide-out doesn't appear to be square with the side of the trailer. It sticks out a bit farther on the back side of the trailer then the front as well as it is tighter to the top of the trailer than the bottom of the trailer. The trailer is out of warrentee so I'm trying to decide if I...
