    Desert shoot-o-rama

    Went to the desert near Quartzsite over the long weekend with a few friends. We had some of those bleeding zombie targets and set up a pistol course through a wash to practise 'Mozambique' drills. Wasn't real impressed with the zombies, but it was kind of interesting shooting at 3D bodies...

    Turn off water when away

    We usually turn everything off when we leave our Cyclone in storage. Got lazy as we were coming back in 4 days. Came back to find a leak had developed in the connection at the toilet supply. Water ran behind the toilet, down the wall, out under the cabinet near the fuse and breaker boxes, soaked...

    Wierd experience with GFCI and Charger

    This problem may not apply to those of you with stock chargers, but it was definately weird. We replaced our charger with a Tripp-Lite inverter/charger/converter when we bought our Cyclone, 3 years until now trouble free. Started up the genny to charge the batteries and a few other items and...

    Drivers side regulator leaking

    The red regulator on my driver side propane line is leaking. No one local has one. The service guy at my local independent repair place says I dont need it. What say you? What purpose does this serve? Can I just replumb the lines without it or should I keep searching for a replacement? Last...

    Easy flex problems again

    In June of last year I posted about rubber biscuits failing on my Cyclone. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/24669-Easyflex-question?highlight= Due to health problems, we have only used our Clone for 2 short trips since then. Now the rubber looks just like it did before. Contacted Jackie at...

    Beware Carmagedden (LA 405 Freeway)

    Any out of towners traveling thru Los Angeles July 16 and 17 beware. The busiest freeway in LA. the 405, will be closed from Friday night at midnight to Monday morning at 6 AM, between the 10 and the 101. The traffic jambs promise to be epic. Best to avoid the LA basin altogether. I dive this...

    A 3012?

    How about adding 2 feet to the 3010. Beef up the suspension and frame to a 16000 lb gross. Keep the dual axle. 8 or 9000lb axles and 17.5 in wheels with real tires. You could offer several options. I would like a 12 foot garage on my 3010, but others might opt for 2 more feet in the living...

    triple vs dual axles

    Just curious, I know that 9000 and 10000 pound axles exist, so what's the advantage to the triple axles on the bigger rigs?

    Interesting experience with extended warranty

    When we bought our Cy 3010 we also bought a 7 year warranty, Route 66 from United Service Protection, Inc. Bad service experience from the dealer we purchased from, All Valley RV in Acton,CA, prompted us to wait for factory warranty to expire, then seek help from a local independent shop, C&S in...

    cracked wheel

    Just got back from Quartzsite and was putting trailer to bed and saw this. Had 3 Chinese bomb blowouts in 3000 miles, so I put on the Goodyear G614's hoping to avoid problems. I saw a load rating on the wheels but no pressure rating. Not sure if excess pressure would cause this kind of crack...

    Does propane freeze?

    Just got back from camping at Quartzsite. Our thermometer said that it got down to 22 one night. Of course, I ment to change tanks and forgot (never again!). Woke up to no heater and 35 inside our 3010 cyclone. Went out and swapped to a full tank but only got an anemic flow. Furnace wouldnt...

    more waterpump issues

    We have a 2010 Cyclone 3010. Just love it, by the way. The clip holding the outlet side of the water line has popped off twice now. Yesterday we pumped 20 or so gallons into the underbelly before we noticed it. Opened all the access covers and put in a fan to dry it out. Seems like most went...

    Recycling oil into diesel

    I realize this is probably a stupid question and a really bad idea, but is there an easy way to filter used oil and tranny fluid so that it could be dumped into the fuel tank instead of lugging back to a recycler?

    can't leave well enough alone

    My wife and I have been enjoying our 3010 (2010). We made a few mods to better suit us. First, for better light and to cut way down on our battery draw, we replaced most of the light bulbs with LED's. We put in 2 L16 6 volt batteries. We can go several days, using our inverter for microwave and...
