    Looking at the 2014 3800 with arctic package

    My wife and I are looking at doing some semi-fulltime living and were considering moving away from a toy-hauler into a traditional 5th wheel, in the hopes of getting better R values for cold weather. I just happened to hear about the arctic package available in the Cyclone and was curious about...

    Generator Fuel Pump failure?

    Yeah, the pump is ticking (actually clacking) loudly....seems louder than previously.

    simple survey -Travel with Refrigator On?

    You can count me in on the number of those leaving it on.

    Generator Fuel Pump failure?

    I was winterizing my 2008 Cyclone 3210 and had the generator running when it suddenly died. It had good oil in it and it would crank, but not fire. I assumed either spark or fuel, so I took the fuel line off and blew back through it. I was also able to suck gas out. I hooked the pump back up...

    F350 vs F450

    Ted You can tell if your exhaust brake is working by looking at your Turbo PSI while going downhill. When it is working, you will see the PSI read about 4 PSI. As you know, when going downhill with your foot off the gas, you would normally read 0 PSI. The 4 PSI that you are seeing is...

    Yep, that's pretty much how we roll.....away from others and on our own power. Where abouts are you in the photos?

    Got a new tow rig!

    My wife got us a new tow rig yesterday for Father's day! A new (to us) 2011 F-350 King Ranch. I can't wait to get the hitch installed next week and hook 'er up! The warranty was about up on the 2005 6.0, so I was getting more than a little concerned about the bills that may arise from issues...

    Under belly heating

    I also have a 3210 and am taking mine hunting in a week. It looks like the temps should be around 25 at night. I plan on using the heater to keep the camper at about 40 degrees at night. Do you think I'll have a problem with freezing? I winterized it to be on the safe side, but I'll...

    Question for you Ford 6.0 PSD

    I just installed the Edge Insight CTS with the EGT Probe, changed the tranny fluid, engine oil and put new tires on the Cyclone.....I'm ready for hunting season! I didn't realize before having the Edge that the torque converter locks up in 4th gear, as well, when in Tow/Haul mode....that's good...

    Winter camping

    This is my first year with the Cyclone and plan on taking it hunting in late October. I was wondering if anyone has tips or tricks for camping in the winter with water...or do you just dry camp and haul it in jugs....I am planning on bringing jugs but would value your suggestions.

    Water pump issue

    I wouldn't call this a Heartland quality issue. These pumps are used in just about ALL campers. I have your same problem, though. Twice now I have seen water come in next to my steps. The pump will keep pumping after it has already hit full pressure and will then leak out. For me, the...

    Cyclone Wheels question

    I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what PSI/load rating my wheels have...it's a 2008 Cyclone 3210 with the stock 15" aluminum wheels. The reason I ask is that I am due for new tires and want to go to an E rated tire, but I don't know if I'll be able to get the use out of them if I can't put...

    Air bags vs mono-shock

    I have air bags on my TV and they work great! The ride difference is substantial between no air and 45 PSI. I float over the big bumps, like bridges.

    what tire?

    Ultrafarmer, Did you go with the Load Range D or E? I have a 3210 as well and am having a hard time finding E rated tires around here. I need to check to see if the rims can handle the air pressure of E rated tires, too....
