    Garage sofa

    Does anyone know if new coverings can be purchased from Heartland (I see they have a zipper so assume the foam interior can be removed) or has anyone ever had the sofa's recovered? Ours have sorta gotten a bit tattered (shall we say) thanks to a litter of 4 Silver Shaded Persian kittens...

    Larger oven

    Curious as to why Heartland continues to put that 16 inch oven in the Cyclones. We noticed that another very popular toyhauler has upgraded to the 22" oven. We purchased a new 22" sealed burner range/oven from camping world at 50% off and installed it in less than 3 hrs, and didn't have to...

    Mirrored Windows

    Hopefully this is the right place, but why did they do away with the mirrored windows? We've got them on our 2011 3612 and love them, our friends 2013 3612 he was told they no longer do that. Everyplace we go we get very positive comments on the windows. We've also noticed that there is a big...

    Caulking/Silicone

    Awhile back someone asked about using the caulking vs a good silicone for the outside trim and areas that come caulked from the factory. I had posted along with a couple others that I was going to use a silicone that we use for jobs, it's UV safe, and takes alot more beating in the...

    Torque Toyhauler

    A friend of ours that's actually been staying in our house while we've been on the road is interested in a Torque. I guess I'm out of the loop is this a new model design? I've looked at it on Heartlands website, and see there's a forum on here for it but no posts. How long has it been in...

    Changing out Oven to Amana

    We've got the 16" Magic Chef in our Cyclone, the oven is just really small, has anyone changed out their 16" to the 22" Amana? I know some modification to cabinet or drawer under the oven will be necessary, but other than height other measurements for the counter cutout seem to be the same...

    New way to recycle used oil

    Well we're in South Carolina and found a new way to recycle our used motor oil. After you change the oil, put the used oil back in the original Rotella jugs, then put all 3 jugs back in the Rotella box and set it in the bed of your truck.

    Brake question

    We're getting ready to head to Florida, so my final thing was bearings and brakes. I pulled the 1st wheel and bearings look good, but brakes are questionable, when I pulled the hub there is a cable about 6 inches long with an eyelet on each end, just laying in there. I've been through the...

    Trying to locate sleeve bolts

    I'm turning to the board here as I've ran out of search options. I bought a tow-rax motorcycle chock for the Cyclone, and installed it. I purchased a different type of bike chock for the wife's, but I want to use the same type of mounting bolts on hers that came with mine. What Tow-rax uses...

    Awning hanging up

    Our electric awning on occasion when we go to extend it, seems to hang up on the motor end and on 2 occasions it didn't want to "roll" when we retracted it. I've lubed what appears to be any pivot or slide points but still hasn't helped. It's not an every time event just on occasion, is there...

    Wet Toolbox fix

    Sorry if this has already been posted, but I can't find the recent thread on the wet tool box issue. I pulled ours apart today, I know several had talked about the carpet being visible through the round dockside access ports and might be wicking water through the carpet. You might want to take...

    Painting the interior of the garage

    Just wondering if anyone has painted or seen the interior of the garage area painted? The wife is wanting to do something like a rag roll or sponge paint thing in the garage area of the Cyclone. So wondering if it's ever been done, if the paint will hold or will it peel, etc.

    Slide seal question

    Hopefully the pictures come out, but have a question on the slide seals. When the wardrobe slide retracts the screw heads on the top trim piece hits the seal and fold it back inward, (which I don't see as a problem) but when we extend the slide the seal doesn't fully fold all the way out at the...

    Does anyone know what brand D rings in the garage area HL uses. We've got a 2011 3612 and we've looked and looked but haven't had any luck finding a match.

    I've read the threads about scrubbin (or washing, depending on what part of the US you live in) ;) the Dicor roof. So I tackled that task today, it cleaned up pretty well, but where the main A/C unit sets it's stained pretty bad from the condensate water running to the eve's. I used a little...

    LED Taillights

    Someone awhile back posted a thread about modifications they had made and in that thread another poster listed the manufacturer of the LED taillight strips Heartland uses.

    I've been reading all the info/complaints on the Lippert Axles, I've been making sure our U bolts are correct torque, etc, but while out looking through all the papers again today to correct a Fantastic Vent thing, I noticed we have papers on Dexter Axles and nothing on Lippert. Am I missing...

    Elkhart Indiana

    We lived in Northern Indiana for 3 yrs but that's been 30 yrs ago, and it looks like we're going to be taking our Cyclone back to the factory for some repairs. Any good ideas on campgrounds close to the factory other than the state parks like Chain o lakes, Dunes, etc?
