Re: Anyone know what happened? Yes The integral check valve in the pump either is broke or is held open with some debris. The fix is easy, just insert an in-line check valve between the filter and its screw-on hose. Don't have any details; it was sent to me by the dealer. Just open the panel...

I called Cequent, the owners of Reese to discuss the deformation on my 5th Airborne Sidewinder 5th wheel hitch when under load. I was told it was all within normal tolerances. He also gave me the hitch bolt toque values so that I could check to see if loose bolts were contributing to...

Got the service man out today to look at the oven (by the way, make sure Amama understands the Magic Chef is in your RV and runs on propane; you need to be licensed to work on propane). We took it apart and once the front panel had been removed (steel plate behind the knobs), I could tell right...

Cleaned the thermocouple w/ a dollar bill which got the flame back but the pilot goes out at a count of 20 on its own. Jerry can you be more specific about where the pilot adjustment is? Bob

When trying to light the oven in my 3010 w/ the Magic Chef, I push the know at the Pilot On position, light the pilot, wait then let go. The pilot always goes out. Changed to a fresh LP tank. Anything else to check before bringing it in to RV shop? Bob in Houston

Terrill's took me in Tuesday (good shop; good people). The rear axle was out of alignment but he didn't think it should have caused the tire wear. He noted that the EZ-Flex spacing was different from left to right side by 1/8". I had unloaded one of the motorcycles so the rig wasn't loaded...

Retry on the photo.

Looks like this. This is the right side; the inside of the left side wheel looks the same. I got stuck in a campsite the took 3 wreckers to pull me out. It was necessary to pull the trailer sideways by putting a soft sling through the spokes of the left-front wheel. Dawn dishwashing soap...

Thanks Ray. I spoke w/ Terrill on Friday and will again on Monday. He says he should be able to get me in Tuesday. I tried to get something sooner in the Vacaville area without any luck. So it isn't a total bust, we are going to camp in Red Bluff tomorrow and ride Lassen Monday. Thanks for the...

I'm in California on an extended trip from Texas. We have gone about 4000 miles now and the right-rear tire is rapidly wearing out on the outside of the tread. All 3 of the others are wearing normally. Is this an alignment problem? If so, are there adjustments on the axel. I called All Wheel...

I want to mount a wooden handle in the stairway of a 3010 (see photo). I used a stud finder and mallet, but I couldn't find a stud between the window and the front door. To securely mount the handle so my DW doesn't do a header down the stairs, I'm thinking I will have to drill large enough...

What can you run with an inverter set up like yours. Is it just TV and pot of coffee; maybe some popcorn in the microwave or can you run the AC for awhile? Bob in Houston.

Re: Anyone know what happened? After discussing w/ the dealer, they sent me a check valve. Apparently, the model I have has an integral check valve in the pump. The thinking is there is some debris keeping it from closing properly. The check valve they sent me screws in between the filter on...

Had the same problem since the day I picked up my 3010 in January. After trying to fix it myself unsuccessfully, I took it back to the dealer last week. After checking every leak path they could think of, they finally took off the refrigerator vent frame. It didn't look sealed correctly. Put...

Re: Anyone know what happened? Thanks guys. Is the check valve something that can be replaced or does the whole pump need to be changed out? I'll just watch it for now; it may have something to do with the freezing weather. BTW, how do you upload your avatar photo? Bob in Houston

Camping in West Texas last weekend in my new 3010. The temperature fell below freezing Friday night. Early Saturday morning, I heard a funny noise right below the sink (clunking noise like someone was rooting through the storage compartment) when I was using the lavatory. Water supply was...

The ducting comes up througth the floor behind the big bottom drawer under the stove. It then runs aft behind the next drawer and through the bulkhead. No insulation whatever. That's probably why the air temperature coming out of it is much lower than the floor vent in the living area just a few...

You can see the new heater vent in this photo. It's the black circular register on the lower right. Bob in Houston

@ Porthole: I'll get a photo out later on the new heating vent in the 2011 model garage, but if you stand in the garage looking forward, the vent is on the lower right edge of the bulkhead. Almost on the floor. Apparently, it's not insulated all that well because the air temperature was much...

Well I'm sitting in our new 2011 Cyclone 3010 right now in Mountain Home, Arkansas, at Great Escapes RV. We did the PDI this morning and we are going to sleep in it tonight to make sure everything is okay before we leave for Houston. New features: - Microwave only; no convection...
