Hey guys,
The wife and I just purchased a used 2008 Cyclone 4012. Beautiful trailer, loving it. Planning on taking it out for the holiday weekend. We purchased it from a very small sales lot and they really didn't do a demo of any of the systems, it was more "As you can see everything works", so of course we have lots of questions.
Is there a good video showing the operation of the universal docking center and what all of those items are? I see a couple valves that I have no idea what they do. My understanding is that there is a black-water tank flush system, but I have no idea how it works, so a video would be great if one exists.
Is there a download link for the owner's manual? All I see here on this forum is back to 2011 and mine is a 2008.
Edit: One more question I came up with -
I towed it home from the lot without incident. My first experience towing a 5th wheel other than my Pops' semi truck. A pickup is a bit different, for sure. The 5th wheel seemed to make some noise when taking off or stopping, is that normal? It wasn't a lot of noise, it just made like a small "thump" sound. I wasn't feeling anything like a jerk or thump, just hearing a noise. It could be just rusty stuff, the hitch was used and the trailer is too. Just figured I'd ask. I gave it a good once-over after getting home and unhooking. Everything seemed fine, the brackets to the frame look fine, the hitch looks fine. I could be just psyc'ing myself out here.
Thanks guys!
