landing

Hi everyone, lost of people have fuses blowing up on their landing gear. Me too. But I think i found why. When most of us lower the landing gear to raise the nose we do it on the battery power only because the rv is not connected to the truck or to hydro. When you draw a lot of current the...

Attached is the picture of the landing gear rocker switch on my 2009 Sundance 2997BHS. Anyone know who makes this or where I can get one? Thanks.

I'm trying to find out who makes the landing gear rocker switch on my 2009 Sundance 2997 BHS. Anyone know who makes this and where I can get one? Pic of switch attached. Thanks!!

I believe I need to replace the motor for the front jacks on my Cyclone 3795. Question is how do I gain access to it? Do I need to remove the generator and go in from the front door or can I take out the front wall in the storage bay and get to the motor. I took the screws out of the front wall...

So the wife and I were looking at the front of the new 3010 today from a distance and noticed that the trailers "left side" landing gear was not parallel to the right side. It is leaning "in" towards the center. They seem to work ok, should I be concerned? Thanks Doug

About three weeks ago after having new Michelin XPS ribs and some other warranty work done at Camping World in Katy. They did a great job. Once I was at my storage facility the landing gear quit working. Since I have ultra fab leveling system I was able to unhook. I contacted Heartland and...

Hears a question I've never thought about till yesterday after watching the next door neighbor pull in at the c/ground, with a 5th wheel. What is the correct method of dropping the landing gear ?? Are you supposed to put the pin in the exact hole on both sides and build up with a peace of wood...

I am curious if the rumour is true that all 2011 models will have a hydraulic front landing gear? If this is true, good work by Heartland to fix a major issue on the Cyclones. As for me, I would like to know if Heartland can offer a retofit kit that will allow me to install this system on my...

We're back in Colorado now, but while there, Bighorns were well represented. I drove a shuttle vehicle for the salmon fishermen there and passed many Bighorns. Our 3670RL was fabulous - even surviving snow, ice and the Alaska Highway.

Well this has been one bad year for us now our landing gear has quit:mad:. I was setting up to level things a little better since stuff had settled a little since setting up here a couple of weeks ago. Hooked up the truck reajusted things and unhooked from the truck, I needed to raise the...

no longer a heartland owner

Soo Long story short after dealing with numerous issues with front landing gear and constantly having to assist the motor with the handcrank, i have come to the conclusion that the motor just does not cut the Cyclone 3912 weight. It always seems as if it is struggling while hitching/unhitching...

Is the Landmark the only Heartland unit that has the hydraulic land gear? I keep reading the stories of "my landing gear when pop" and "the gears won't turn" and "the motor case broke." I think it would make since to at least offer the hydraulic landing gear as an option, if not make it...

I've only hooked and unhooked 3 times since buying my Cyclone. I noticed on the non motor side of the landing gear I can not get the pull pin that drops the leg to seat 100%. In other words, on the other side, I can see the tip of the pin in the hole on the inside of the leg extension. I tried...

:mad: 2008 Heartland Cyclone 3912 Ok so hitched my trailer the other day and Landing gear motor sounded as if it was straining then popped. Upon Inspection keyways and all attached drivetrain was in tact, it appeared as if the actual electric motor case that holds it to the jack post has...

I know this is the place to post this problem. We just spent the weekend with some friends. They own a 08 Montana 5th wheel. I was trying to beat him to the dump station the last morning. As I pulled past him laughing I could see he was having problems with the Montana's front legs. I pulled...

We had our new Cyclone out several times this season, and every time we try to extend the landing gear more than 12", the in-line fuse blows on the landing gear motor. 12" is usually not enough to level front-to-back. Also, the motor seems to run very slowly. I have searched the forum, and this...

So the tech comes out and replaces the gear box and gets ready to leave and I start the switch and the motor runs but the legs don't move. Darn he says I should have checked the motor too. Said it would take another week for the part. Took a ride around Pahrump and no one had the part and...

I know this had been posted before but I can't seem to find an answer. We were camping and when I tried to raise the front landing gear it clicked and then stopped going up, so I hooked up by using the hand crank, which was really tough by the way, and got hitched. Today I looked for the nut...

I brought our BigHorn in for servicing last week. I coudn't believe while in the shop both landing gear pins sheared off. Luckily the pins were in the first hole so our BH only fell about an inch with no apparant damage and the worker servicing our camper was not hurt. How often should these...

I know the topic has been discussed before but I guess I just have to rant for a minute.. I do not have a problem with the electric landing gear systm. I just don't like it. Everytime we move it is the same old thing. I drop the landing gear to get it off the TV. Then I have to raise it or...

After reading about blown fuses in the landing gear I went looking for the fuses and can not find them. The only thing I found in the battery compartment is a white rocker switch the I have no idea what it does. My fifth wheel is a 2010 3670 RL. Could someone let me know where the fuses are...

I'm sitting in the middle of the Grand Tetons with my relativley new Sundance 5th wheel and for some reason my front landing gear is not working. It has been working all week on my way here. Is there an inline fuse somewhere; a fuse; anything I can look at? I was able to lower them manually...

I on occasion camp a few places where I'm on an incline and have to lower the landing gear quiet a ways to get level front to back. Does anyone know how long the main tubes come out? With all I've read here about the gear motor and sheer pins and all breaking I don't want to chance that. Anyone...

OK Guys - any quick ideas? I'm sitting here at American Heritage Campground in VA with the left front electric jack working and the right front jack not working. Left one goes up and down normally, right one won't move. Possible quick fixes? I made an appointment with my dealer for Monday...

I've gotta tell ya, I probably shouldn't be posting right now, I'm so mad I could chew nails and spit tacks! I bought a 2009 3110DS and was getting ready to take it on the 2nd trip. As I raised the landing gear to the stop the right one falls back to the ground! I try to raise it but the switch...

we are on the road, 2nd night out... and the landing gear motor is broken. We don't know why, but it is. Does anyone know where we go or where we can get a replacement? We're still under warranty, but no one is open today. We're in Pahrump, NV tonight, then to Kingman, AZ. Any ideas? Any...

Question? Does the landing gears adjust for uneven surfaces or do I need to use supports under the low side to level?

From time-to-time, when engaging the landing gear, there is a 'clunking' sound from the area around the motor. It only seems to occur when there is some weight 'straining'. Also, it only seems to occur on each complete turning cycle of the cross rod. Any idea of what this might be & any easy...

When I extend the hydraulic front landing gear one leg comes down to the ground and then the other and then they jack up the front of the trailer equally regardless if the terrain is level or not. This seems to be the ideal function of the system. My system seems to do the first part but one...

We are on second day out with the new Sundance and the front electric landing jack stopped working. I checked for a blown fused or tripped breaker. There is no fuse or breaker labled Landing gear/ jack. I have no paper work or schematic for the electric jacks, looks like they are made by Domar.

I read some post stating how the gear casing breaking on the landing gear electric motor. I took a look at mine and saw that the motor is loose and could bounce around braking the gear housing. I used a 2 3/8" pipe fence post clamp and a foot of 2" strap. (HomeDepot)

Hi Everyone, Just a heads up to check your 5th wheel landing leg "snaps", the spring loaded pins you pull to release the legs. They are nowhere near what the original snaps are. My door side one came apart at the welds, I fail to see these how they call these welds. Looking at the other side, it...

My Front Landing Jacks Groaned And Would Usually Pop The Breaker Two Or Three Times When Lifting The Unit. I Had An Electrictian Measure The Amperage And The Motor (fused At 30 Amps) Was Pulling 42 Amps. I Contacted The Dealer And They Talked To The Factory Which Sent Out A Larger Motor. This...

A few years ago (about 4) I was using a few old pieces of railroad ties to put under my front landing gear of my fifth wheel... I never like the way the wood was always cracking and basicly they just looked like crap... A friend of mine used to use concrete blocks that IMHO also look like crap...

The landing motor plastic house broke on my 2009 Big Horn. Can I fix it myself? Any suggestions?

I have a Bighorn 3055rl and the motor for the landing gear gets very hot while operating. Do they make a bigger motor?

Went on first camping trip in our new 2900MK this weekend. Had no problems at the campsite (loved our trip) until we got ready to leave. There was no power to the landing gear. I had to use the hand crank to hook up (that is a lot of work!). I checked all the fuses in the circuit breaker box...

We had some generator problem this weekend and between furnace and lighting we drained our battery pretty low. I dug out the tool we got at delivery that said "to extend legs" and was unsuccessful in finding the place to put it on the 3212 to manually drive the legs. I didn't find anything in...

The landing gear res. in my 2007 3500RL leaks fluid from the top when I'm on the road. Basically it is splashing out. It has a plastic snap cap on the top which doesn't seal. I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and if so did you come up with a solution? I would...
