    Tail light wiring access

    That’s exactly what I did. I was hoping not to cut that big access hole, but it was a necessary evil. Here are pictures of the completed repair.

    Tail light wiring access

    I cut that access hole and...there's the problem! Whatever took up residence chewed through EVERY single wire that passes through the bumper. I have enough pigtail coming down vertically to make good connections, and I think I can fish all new wiring through the hole in the bumper at the...

    Tail light wiring access

    I'm leaning toward making an access cut with a little air recip saw and then making a patch panel. But I know some of y'all have likely dealt with similar access issues, so I'll hold off on the cutting for now.

    Tail light wiring access

    Unfortunately, my 2016 Cyclone 4113 sat in the yard by the house for the past year or so, and a critter took up residence between the frame rail and skin by the passenger side rear bumper. Whatever lived there chewed through the common ground for all rear lighting, and I need to access the area...

    Blocked/pinched fuel line

    Fixed! We had the RV in the shop for warranty service last Fall. When the techs replaced the underbelly panel after fixing a fresh water tank problem, they pinched the fuel line between the frame and the panel. The problem didn't manifest itself until several weeks after the service was...

    Blocked/pinched fuel line

    Thanks guys, I'll start at the generator and work my way back.

    Blocked/pinched fuel line

    The generator fuel line on my '11 3612 has become either severely blocked or pinched. I disconnected the line at both ends and tried blowing compressed air through the line. It will not clear. I suspect that it may be kinked or pinched. I don't want to lower the whole underbelly panel...

    Dinette conversion...how?

    Thanks so much to the Heartland crew! The cushion arrived today and fits exactly as it should. The dinette/bed makes so much more sense now!

    Powder coated the fuel dispensing nozzle

    Just to clarify, I don't own a powder coating shop. I have a small setup in my garage. I don't plan on taking orders or setting up a business.

    Dinette conversion...how?

    Who posted this? I would like to send a private message, but it looks like the forum hiccuped!

    Dinette conversion...how?

    I have the exact same question. I, too, am pretty mechanically inclined, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the cushions to make a bed once the table is lowered onto its lip.

    Cyclone Fuel System Q&A

    I took a good look at the tank, exposed lines, and generator. I found nothing obviously out of place, so I took the Cyclone back to the dealer. Turns out it was an overtightened hose clamp on an elbow fitting buried in the underbelly. The clamp had sliced through the generator fuel line and...

    Powder coated the fuel dispensing nozzle

    Because the fuel station is exposed to road grime, the aluminum parts corrode quickly. My fuel station looked like it had been through a severe winter's worth of salted roads, even though it was brand new. After disassembling and cleaning the nozzle (VERY trivial, just be careful of a slight...

    2011 upgrades

    I have a 2011 3612 and agree on all counts. I do have a Fantastic Fan above the garage bunks, but it'd be better if it were located a few feet forward, so the bunks didn't have to be lowered for it to be useful. I hate the large key-ring required. In fact, I have yet to receive keys for the...

    Cyclone Fuel System Q&A

    That's the first place I intend to look. Unfortunately, it's been raining, and it's a bit muddy under the trailer right now. I'll take a good look and report back. Hopefully it's a simple fix!

    Cyclone Fuel System Q&A

    After filling my 3612's fuel tank for the first time, I'm noticing a strong gasoline smell in the living area. I can't quite pinpoint a leak under the chassis. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a good place to start troubleshooting?

    Ladder storage

    I just accomplished this mod on my Cyclone 3612. There was very little play between the 1/2" pipe and ladder tubing. I used 28" sections of pipe so that I could use the rung screws to hold the fixed ends. 7" of pipe stuck out for the pinned side. The ladder fits nicely in the forward storage...
