Hello everyone. Many may disagree with what I'm about to write but remember, it's only my personal opinion. I have a 2009 Cyclone 3914... gigantic and heavy. I dreaded my first flat and sure enough, it happened about 1500 miles from home at a very inconvenient time (of course). Fortunately...

Installing a carbon filter under the kitchen sink is an excellent idea... however, I have a 3914 and Heartland didn't really make the undersink access very convenient. It would have been wonderful if they had simply put an access door right on the front of the cabinet but they didn't. Easy...

Hello sdagro and welcome. I recently spoke with Heartland service about the same issue and was told they do not install filters in any of their models. For me the decision was to go with a whole house filter (in the basement, connected through the wall to the UDC) and a Brita filter pitcher for...

Hello Manke. I have exactly the same problem on my 3914. I see no simple solution either for the same reasons you mentioned. I'm about ready to call Heartland and discuss it as a manufacturing defect. One would think they should install blinds the correct length. Perhaps they can ship a...

Ooops, meant to say that 3914. (keyboard gremlin...)

What kind of mileage do you get pulling that 2914 with a 2500?

I too purchased from ExploreUSA in Seguin and my experience was a mixed bag. I was initially very impressed with the staff and their customer service attitude but by the time we finished the sale there were some disappointments and serious concerns about their integrity. After the sale I had...

Thanks everyone for your input. Turns out my "unique" valve is pretty simple. Just turned it 180 degrees and the fridge works fine on the second tank. Removed the empty propane bottle, filled it, reinstalled it and everything seems fine. Guess it was "much ado about nothing". I have also...

Is there any chance of getting a wiring diagram for the 3914? I'm interested in tapping into my system for adding solar power, additional lights, inverter, etc., and would like to know how things are connected.

Hello everyone. Need some help understanding the Propane valve operation. This is a picture of the valve in my new 3914. Yes, I'm a newbie! My dealer briefly mentioned that this valve allows me to select which propane tank I draw from, or to mix the tanks and draw from both simultaneously. He...

Hello everyone. Here's a thought for you. www.x10.com sells wireless complete home security systems for anywhere from $79 to $149 depending upon how many sensors and components you want. I've used these in my business for many years and find them very reliable as they double as an entry chime...

Hello Drew. If you get poor towing mileage (as I do with my International Towmaster by Wiers) you may be concerned with the additional miles going by way of Hwy 58. It's only about 50 miles further than going right into the LA area on I-10 and connecting with I-5 but hey... 50 miles translates...

Hello Bruteforce. In case you're not aware, the converter supplied with your unit provides AC power directly from the generator. There is no inverter. An inverter changes the 12vDC power from a battery into 110 (or 220, depending upon the inverter). Sounds like you may need to buy an...

Hello Linuxkidd. I concur with all the previous posts. Looks good and thanks for your work. One thing I don't like is the repeat listing for new posts. Perhaps I'm wrong but it appears that if there are two new posts in a thread then that thread is listed twice in the new posts listing...

Hello Brute. Recently picked up my new Cyclone 3914 and had a similar experience. Pulled my Jensen manual and learned how to set both the input and volume for the two different zones. Apparently, zone one is inside the unit and zone two is outside. If you have the same unit I do, just look...

Hello Gary and welcome. I too just went through that same process. I have a 3914. Spoke directly with the factory by phone and was told the studs are on 16" centers but my stud finder does not seem to verify that. I'm using a Zircon stud finder (Lowes or Home Depot) that uses depth detection...

Hello sjrellis. I too needed additional keys and found many RV dealers carry the blanks. Some cut the keys, some just sell you the blanks which you can then take to your favorite locksmith, or Home Depo, Ace Hardware, Etc. Here in Tucson, AZ, La Mesa RV cuts keys for you.

Great info! Yianni, I love your idea of creating two separate power systems with a simple switch between them. That would prevent ever having to jump start a battery. I saw your link yesterday and like what you did. But you didn't say what kind of an impact those extra batteries have made in...

Thanks for the info everyone. I appreciate the help. Allow me to narrow my question down just a little. I am familiar with watts/amps/amp hours/volts, etc., and have no problem doing the math as I have previously installed two solar power systems (with deep cycle marine batteries) for my own...

Hello everyone. I'm planning to add several batteries to my new 3914 because it seems to make sense to have additional power, but as this is my first RV I don't really know what all actually runs on batteries. Obviously the 12v lights do, and the radio, the fridge (optionally), and a couple of...

Thanks for all your feedback everyone. Since the outputs of both the generator and inverter will be connected together and tied into the main distribution point, each one will supply power everywhere. As I understand it, if the generator is on and the inverter is off, there is no current going...

Hello everyone. I have the same problem... locating studs in the walls and ceiling of the garage of my 3914. Have tried two different Zircon stud finders, one low end model (about $10.00) and a much more sophisticated model (about $50.00) and while both are supposed to utilize density detection...

Recently bought a new, 2009 model year 3914 and was considering adding solar panels and batteries because I have previous experience with solar systems. However, learned that my tow vehicle actually charges the battery in my 3914 when driving down the road, and the generator charges it at night...

I agree with Porthole. The extra 2' in the garage is at the expense of the living room but as I mentioned below, that 14' garage was a necessity for me. I'm not a ful-timer and need to be comfortable while traveling on business. Garage/storage space outweighed the living space for me. Had I...

Hello and welcome. Like others who responded, I've been busy for a few days and didn't know you were here. I still work for a living... not like a lot of these "rich" retired folks who live full time in their RVs.;) I too spent months searching and finally made it around to the 3950 and 3914...

Hello David. I know exactly what you're going through. I did the same thing, spent countless hours, days, weeks, months searching for the "right" 14' garage model. After eliminating all the Raptors, Fuzions, etc., I settled on the 3914 and began my own nationwide search. Finally selected one...

Hello Porthole. Yes, as a matter of fact I am a magician. My parents and I also own a magic shop in southern Arizona. Gave up public performing years ago and now sell to all those who do perform. I demonstrate in our shop every day and occasionally attend magic conventions and/or magic club...

3914 holding tanks Hello Donkey. Coincidentally, I took delivery of my 2009 3914 just about two weeks before you received yours. Had the dealer install a washer/dryer combo and was originally told they would have to plumb for it but upon arrival to take delivery learned that the factory had...
