We have a 2015 Cyclone 4200- this thing has actually been somewhat of a nightmare since we bought it,
Lights falling off on the patio, the back ramp/patio bubbling up and unusable as ramp (so much for toy-hauling), the 3 season door velcro & plastic "door" falling off completely when it rains outside, the sony dvd/stereo unit won't function- had to order one on amazon (the thing was used ONCE!!) the bathroom sink faucet is so far back you literally cannot rinse your hands under it, the washer and dryer hooked up incorrectly and it leaks all over the floor and under the dresser in the bedroom.
As if all of that weren't enough - we decided since this thing has 4 TV's in it, we might as well install a tailgater Satellite dish, after all, it's Satellite ready... Right?
Except that it's not. Beside each tv is an outlet box (seemingly) for Antenna & Cable or Satellite. The outside UDF box has an antenna, cable and satellite hook up, except if you look in the wiring behind the box, they have the (supposed) satellite hooked to a 900mHz splicer. Folks, if you don't wire things for a living you probably don't realize the problem with this... the problem with that is Satellite cannot run through a 900 mz splicer, it needs over 2100mHz. So, we changed out that splicer... great, now we're one step closer to having satellite. Oh wait... there are at least 9 other splicers in the walls.
After taking off nearly every panel we could access we finally found the stupid things hidden above the living room tv behind the faux speaker. There are literally 5 in this one area, all of them are 900 mHz. Then, if you go into the bedroom and look at the outlet in there you'll see it's clearly labeled for satellite, again, it's not. They didn't run proper cabling to That outlet either.
I am so fed up with heartland right now!!! I called their support line to get a layout of the "wiring" so we could find the remaining splitters but they couldn't tell me where those might be located. In short, if you want your satellite to work, you'll either have to tear your camper apart or you'll have to Pay one of their "Technicians" to wire it properly. Good Luck with that!
I'd like to know why a 100K camper isn't satellite ready?
