I have a 2012 cyclone 3010 HD toy hauler and due to a blowout I have a bent bracket. The bracket is on the kitchen slideout side and is bolted and welded to the frame and has a squaretube on other end. I need to see a picture so I know how it was attached to the other end and if I am missing any pieces.If anyone can send a picture of what it looks like attached it would be greatly appreciated.

3010 or 3110?
Maybe you could post a picture so those with the trailer can see what you are referring to.
Sorry for not adding a picture I have some but have not figured out how to add pictures. I did look at the other side but it does not have this bracket. I will keep looking into how to add a picture and hopefully get one loaded later. Thank everyone for replying.
Hey I figured out how to add pictures to the post.

I have two of those on my doorside slide. One got bent somehow - maybe from the 2014 tire blowout.
I was able to straighten it out with a claw hammer and large screwdriver. Yours looks like it's bent more than mine though. I guess worst case it'd break off. I'd guess the replacement part would come from Lippert and you'd have to get a welder (maybe at a truck or trailer repair shop) to weld on a replacement.

Best I can tell from your description - you need to verify what model you have. You mention the bracket is on the kitchen slide out side, but your picture shows the opposite side (sewer connection)
AFAIK, all 3010's have 2 slides on the left or off door side. 3110's have 3 slides, 2 on the left side and a kitchen slide on the door side or right side.
I'm guessing you have a 3010, 2 slide model. If you do, then maybe these pictures will help. These are about the best I can do for now. Our 3010 is covered, so I can't open the slide and it is snowing.
Off door side (street side)
1st picture is looking front to back, next 2 are back to front.

Thanks Danemayer
I will contact Lippert and see if I can get a replacement bracket. You were correct about the bracket cracking.

Hello Porthole
That was exactly what I was looking for. The slide is actually the dining area side, I guess I should have described it better. I was just trying to make the distinction between the bedroom and the other slide. Do you now how the end of the bracket with the tubing end is attached to the RV?

No.
I will see if I can get a better look tomorrow. That side of my trailer is against another trailer, so it is a bit tight, but I look to see if it is welded.

Those same brackets are under my BH too. If you can't get a picture say so... My BH is accessible and I can snap a couple. I remember painting them this fall.

Thank You All for the help. I do not need any additional information I did receive an email response from Heartland and they said the bracket is alright like it is. See the below email from Heartland.
Upon review this bracket is only bent, not broke. It is still serving its
purpose as intended. If you review the photos you can see there is a bolt
securing the edge of the main floor to this outrigger and that is all it was
intended for. Nothing bolted to or was mounted to the end of this bracket. You
could attempt to straighten it out or cut off the excess as it is not actually
needed. It is there simply because we use this frame for multiple unit layouts
and it is utilized on another layout.
