    What did you do to your camper today?

    Worked on broken stuff. Just like the other days. Specifically today, Screws that are pulled out of the cardboard walls. Next week replace seals in toilet so it won't leak down and start troubleshooting intermittent brakes. Oh- and replace the defective kitchen faucet. I've done more...

    Overhead lighting in kitchen

    Nice job. Expect I'll have to do that to mine as well before long. Everything else inside has broken. What a piece of junk I ended up with.

    window treatment screws pulling out

    One of the many problems i'm having with my Heartland Cyclone trailer is the screws used for various things pulling out of the cardboard walls. Specifically, the screws holding the window treatments on. The particularly bothersome ones are the ones holding the tension cords for the pleated...

    2017 Cyclone 3611JS Slide in Slide

    Can't help your particular situation. I also have a 17 3611JS with my Indian Vintage in the back. Sad to hear your sofa is falling apart already. But not surprised. I've only had mine out on the road in aggregate about 12 weeks in the 16 months I've owned it and more stuff is broken than...

    2017 4200 - Access Rear Patio With Three Season Doors and Garage Table Setup

    I don't have a 4200. but in my 2017 3611, the bench seats are also mounted to the rear. If the table were set in line with the benches you would not be able to get out either. The floor mounts for the table are also mounted in line (even with) the benches. However. The table leg mounts...

    3611 Motorcycle Chocks

    I use a WheelDock for my Indian. It's kid of pricey but it works very well and I don't have to lift the tire to get it out. Anyway, I was able to mount it without dropping anything. Only had to drill two holes for the bolts. Could easily get to the bolt from the bottom. I did have to...

    "Camera ready" statement on 2016 Cyclone ads

    I put a 10 amp fuse in. And yes, it's not a very well thought out plan. The factory rep that I talked to was pretty convinced that having a always hot circuit for the backup camera was not the way it was supposed to be. But apparently, the way it is powered is random by the product model...

    "Camera ready" statement on 2016 Cyclone ads

    Hoping somebody has already figured this out and can save me a ton of headaches. I purchased the Furion camera to put on my 2017 Cyclone 3611 "camera ready" fifth wheel. There was no power to the mount at the rear. The dealer told me it was wired into the running lights. But it wasn't...

    Potential owner looking for testimonies... of course!

    I did talk to Heartland customer service on several occasions. After multiple calls to them, they eventually shipped a new refrigerator. My point is I shouldn't have to make multiple calls. I'm blaming Heartland in great part because they sat on it. They kept telling me they had to give...

    Potential owner looking for testimonies... of course!

    It wasn't the dealer that built an RV with poor quality controls. The reason it takes so long at the dealer is because they are so backed up fixing warranty work. When the refrigerator was obviously broke, they had sent the request to Heartland to replace it. Heartland took two weeks to...

    Potential owner looking for testimonies... of course!

    Run away from Heartland. That's my advice. I bought a brand new cyclone last may. It has been in the shop for warranty work for 5 of the last 7 months i've owned it. we made two short trips. First one was cut short because refrigerator quit working and had a leak from gray water tank...

    Residential Refrigerators

    Yes, I have been in contact with Heartland. It's hard to know what ground truth is. There is always a reason why it's not out of the shop. Between Heartland people, and dealer people, unless I was following them around, I never know what is actually happening. I've heard the dealer say...

    Residential Refrigerators

    Well, Apparently there is a new problem as I've read of several more issues identical to mine. Hisense top portion not working after a few hours. It may be awhile apparently before i'll have a chance to get any trust back because it has been at the dealer coming up on 10 weeks on this...

    Residential Refrigerators

    Bad idea. My 2017 Cyclone I took delivery of still does not have a working refrigerator. Apparently, after 8 weeks of troubleshooting, Heartland has agreed it doesn't work. Now i'm in week 3 of waiting on a replacement. Watching all the other RV forums, apparently there are lots of issues...
