Per the commercial drivers license manual for New Jersey you need a Class B. I believe the A and B standards are federal regulations. See below. CLASS B: If you drive... • Any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 or more pounds; or, • A vehicle with a gross vehicle...

I recently purchased a Cyclone 300C and as a result upgraded to a Class A noncommercial to be legal. The only restriction listed is 71 "Class A restricted to towing single trailer coaches only, not for compensation - not valid for Class B vehicles". I expected it to show the Autotrans...

This only applies to the noncommercial Class A. The commercial Class A lets you drive Class B and Class C. Also my understanding going noncommercial does not subject you the traffic school disqualification, and the lower BAC for DUIs. Not that having any alcohol in your system while hurdling...

Well I took the class A Noncommercial tests today and passed with flying colors. The test consisted of a very detailed pre-trip inspection of the tow vehicle and the 5th wheel. Got dinged for not saying I would inspect the front windshield to see if it was broken (even though I said I would look...

Hello all!! I read somewhere here (can't find it now) that all the rigs are weighed at the factory to show the actual dry weight. Where do I find that number? It's not on the Factory plate on the outside. Thanks, Martin

I have a 2003 F350 with the 7.3 Powerstroke. Besides airbags and a 2004 rear-end, it is stock. I am thinking about chipping it to give me a little more umph when I am pulling the 5th wheel. Looking online it seems like there are about a thousand different brands and a thousand reputable sources...

So agree! The only good time to be in a tent is at the circus....

Wish that was the case in Ca. I would weigh in at 14,999 lbs.....

I am fortunate enough to live in a rural farming area and most of the farmers and their employees have Class A licenses. I have befriended a few and one of them has agreed to go with me.

So true. That is why I run all my questions (work and rv) to DMV and CHP Valley Division (Main ofice in Sacramento) to get my answers. Wasn't what I wanted to hear as we now only have 1 driver for our Mobile Command Vehicle and I have to have a licensed Class A passenger to pull my rig for my...

Wino, I am sure the insurance company would take notice when they receive a collision report that states you were not licensed for the vehicle you were driving. Ramdually, you would follow the regulations for your NE license.

I don't think anyone is enforcing the RV licensing laws at this time. For one, no one knows what they are except the CHP commercial enforcement guys. In would be more concerned about what happens when an uninsured idiot crashes into the rig and then I get a ticket for being out of class. Big...

I am sure this is just for Ca residents as it is not a rule of the road but a rule related to Ca drivers licenses.

Scotty, Ca also has the 26,001 GCWR rule also, anything over is a class B or higher. The commercial license requirements seem to be pretty much consistant between states. The recent attention to the RV license requirements is where it gets kinda tricky. I know that none of our deputies know...

Well I discovered something very interesting today and thought I would share. First a little foundation so this makes since. I am a long time RVer and like to take 3 day to 14 day trips with the family. This month I traded our 32' Cougar for a Cyclone 300C ti so we could haul the Harley and have...

Adjusted all the hinges, adjusted the door lathes and shot some graphite in the locks so the keys slide in and out easier. The shower leaks in the corner where the glass rubber stripping is so I am gonna let the factory deal with that. When I call this week I am gonna tell them that I want to...

I would like to know how high off the floor some of your beds are. When we set up the dinette, my wife's legs don't reach the ground. Kinda high for me too and I am 6' 3". I agree that longer legs would be a fix but to me, it just looks like the rails are too high. They almost are to the ceiling...

Thanks Jim.

I initially thought that too but there is only enough room between the bottom of the bed frame and the bottom of the rail to fit a finger in.

We took our new 300c out for its maiden trip. Have a problem with the garage beds (posted in the garage section) but found a couple of things inside. The hinges need some adjustments (will do that myself), and the shower glass door has a slow leak (a little clear silicone will stop it) but my...

Took our 2013 CY 300c out for the first trip. We unloaded the Harley and set up camp. I lowered the bottom bed to set it up and the fold down support legs are 3 inches off of the floor. It appears the rails on the wall are mounted too high. I used leveling blocks but am going to take it back...

Thanks. We are gonna head out to buy some chairs (we forgot to pack ours and want to enjoy our porch). I'll see about a regulator at the same time. Our shower head (upgraded) works fine with the pump on so I am sure it is just a flow rate problem.

I'm not sure whe this would be better placed so I am putting it in general discussions. We are on our maiden voyage in our 2013 CY 300 and are loving it. We loved our Cougar but being able to take the Harley with us and the back porch are wonderful. Anyway I digress..Does this rig have an...

Well the Pingel removable chock is in and works great. Decided to put one in the center for now as we don't plan on taking 2 bikes anytime soon. I can always add left and right mounting plates later. I did have to drop one side of the tank and then was able to reach in and hold the wrench on the...

My wife bought the three step ladder from Costco. Thanks for the suggestions. It will work for most cupboards and I will grab what she can't.

Thanks. I may brave the heat and see what I can get done.

Thanks AJ and Porthole. Was gonna jump on it this afternoon but it is 112 outside. Think I might put it off a day or 2. I do have an additional question though. Can I load the Harley without hooking up to the truck? Gonna raise the rear stabilizers and don't know what kind of leverage is working...

We picked up our 300C yesterday. First thing we noticed is that compared to our 32' foot 05 Cougar, this is huge!!! Love It!!! When we bought it it did look a little smaller sitting in between two 44' Cyclones... A little heavier but towed great on the way home (about an hour away). With that...

Here is a link to explain it. //heartlandowners.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Universal_Docking_Center_(UDC)

Using a tripod in my last 5th wheel, a 32' Cougar did help eliminate unwanted movement. ;)

I have always just driven it up and parked it in other trailers. tricks? 1992 Heritage Softail classic.

I pick up my 300c Ti on Friday. I am installing motorcycle chocks and from what I have researched, I will need to lower and/or remove one or both of the fuel tanks before drilling through the floor for the install bolts and fender washers. I have yet to crawl under the beast and was wondering if...

Thanks, especially Lynn. I went by today while working and they were inspecting it and detailing it. The generator was running and I saw someone physically checking the water lines. I will go through it with a fine tooth comb on Friday. I figure I will bring up the issues I want them to fix but...

Thanks jimtoo and danemeyer. Looking forward to any suggestions. I did find some complaints about brakes and tires but they are all a couple years old. I am hoping those issues have been resolved. Of course I realize for every person that has a complaint, there are 500 people that have no...

Hello, I am new to the forum. I am am an experienced RV owner but new to Heartland. I pick up my 2013 Cyclone 300c from the dealer on Friday. Here is a link. http://www.panpacificrvs.com/8090.html I was wondering if anyone has any advice for the walkthrough to identify any areas of concern...
