HGTV has a RV show airing Sunday night in case anyone is interested. Usually their shows are over priced Class A's but they are still fun to watch. http://www.hgtv.com/rv-2010/show/index.html

Sorry to hear about it becoming a big deal. To be honest, I would be a little hesitant too if it was a new trailer and the slide had to come out. On a positive note, I drove from California to Holman's to pick up my 3010. They were absolutely a pleasure to do business with. They had the 3010 all...

This is from their website: What if I loose my FOB or key? Our RVLock A-25 series lock comes with a FOB and 2 sets of keys giving you a spare in case they become lost. Additional FOBs and keys are available for purchase. It says it comes with 2 keys. I'd still rather use the old fashioned...

After owning and retiring from a carpet cleaning business for over 20 years, I'd say that was not caused by a steam cleaner. The carpet had a chemical reaction to whatever spotter they tried to use. Things happen. Do as Jim suggested and go on your trip and make a list of the little things...

I stumbled across this website for remote operated door locks. It seems there were a few people wondering if they could get the new keyless entry system so I thought this may be a good second. Install looks really easy but they are a little pricey. http://hoglock.com/index.html

I really don't think so. When I used to take my previous trailer in for warranty work, they would tell me to be sure and leave the deadbolt lock unlocked or they would not be able to get in or work on the trailer.

From what I've been told, the "bump" key will only work on the door handle lock whereas the deadbolt is keyed to fit each individual trailer.

California is 55 while towing and posted very frequently so you don't miss it. Coming home from New Mexico I was doing about 63 just inside of the California border and sure enough a CHP was hiding with radar. He never even looked up from his paper work. His radar gun was hanging outside his...

Here are the pictures of the box I built. It was chained to the trailer frame and the carrying basket. I left the Honda in there all the time and just opened the box to run it. Later I modified the box with a vent fan so I ran it with the box closed. That was a fun project.

When I had a Honda 3000 for my old trailer it would not fit under the roll n loc. The gas cap and filler neck extend above the cover. I chained mine into the truck bed and closed the cover up to it. I just sold mine on Craigs list since my Cyclone has a built in. I did build a box for mine that...

I called Heartland and talked to Joe Scheneman. I asked if he would send me a new pump and I would install it myself to save me from having to tow it to a dealer and leave it for a month just for that. He said no problem. Great customer service from Joe and Heartland. I did talk to Shurflo. They...

I have heard some dealers charge for a pdi, and if that were the case, they would not be my dealer. Since you are in Ca, would you care to disclose the dealer name? I can help you with the ipod setup. The stereo is ready but you need to buy and extension cable for the back of the radio. Here is...

Thanks Rod, I looked through all my paperwork and there was no manual for the water pump. I'll see if CW has a 5.7 and check to see if mine has 90's. Thanks for the good info!

Does anyone know the model number of the Shur Flo ( I assume it's a Shur Flo ) pump in the Cyclone 3010? Mine died this weekend. Fortunately it was the last day of the trip but still a pain. We just got home and it's dark out. I need to get one at CW tomorrow and then will call Heartland to see...

I'm thinking about a 450 also, but I'll wait a couple of years and see how the new Scorpion does.

My Cyclone has a speaker control panel but on the units prior to mine, I believe the fader control on the stereo is used to switch between speakers. Congrats on the new RW. Looks great!

Be sure to take a day trip to Carmel while you are there. From Betabel you are only 50 mins, to an hour away. Beautiful area. Also, Gilroy has a huge outdoor outlet mall and all the garlic you would ever want. They are garlic capitol of the world. If you go to Carmel, you will pass through...

Diane, I'm not a full hookup camper but I've driven past Betabel RV Resort many times. I've read people's comments that have stayed there and have never seen anything negative. Always good reviews. I mapped it and it is 14.8 from San Martin. 19 mins. Are you buying from See Grins? Good Luck...

This really surprises me. Mine is a 2010 Cyclone 3010 and I have been all through the basement and had the underbelly off. All my wires are neatly run and tied together. The plumbing is neatly run and no leaks since new. Even in the underbelly the wires are in wire loom. Sorry for your...

Here are some pictures of mine. I bought everything at Home Depot. I fit 37 ft. of hose in there and use the space where the valve handles are for elbows, etc.

Our Halftime oven quit working a couple of months ago. Tami sent us a prepaid box to send it to them in and we had it back in less than a week and a half including weekends. Their customer service is outstanding!

Looks good Rod, Wish I had found that box before I did mine. I just bought some of those remote water fill things at CW so I don't have to crawl around in the basement or the front compartment to top off the batteries.

Yes, I think the factory heater flex ducting is run in the primary underbelly and then brought up into the wall. I'm thinking they made a 2 inch boot to fit in the wall. Unfortunately, you can't tap off the register next to the patio door as it is in the primary underbelly and has gray tank #2...

Not really sure why. If I measure my tv corner to corner diagonally it is exactly 26 inches.

Craig, Here are some pics of ours. It is a Hitachi 26 inch with built in dvd. I think the built in dvd makes the tv a little wider so it sticks out about 1 1/2 inches. It still looks good and is not really a big deal. The cabinet itself is only 5 3/4 deep, so unless you have a really flat swing...

Wow, what an awesome helping hand!

We bought a tv with a built in dvd player at Sams for the garage. It's great for the kids with the dvd. It was 22 or 23 inch. I remember it was an odd size but it fit perfectly in the framed in cabinet. I also bought the swing arm for mounting at Sams. I bought suitcase luggage straps at Orchard...

I have replaced the dealer installed 12 volt battery on my last 3 trailers with 2 6 volt. on my last trailer I had 2 6's and a 12 volt with an isolator switch. On my new Cyclone I went with 4 6 volt and used a 3 way switch. I can use battery bank 1 during the night and if it runs down I can...

Caissiel, good eye. I was a little premature posting my pictures. I plan on making a new nipple tomorrow so the angle is upward. I tied it to the vent for the front batteries and it vents upward on the other side.

No, there are only 2 in this box. This is a Noco marine box designed to hold and seal 2 6 volt batteries. The other 2 are in the front next to the generator. I still have the 12 volt that came with the trailer but haven't done anything with it. We have the gen but I don't like to bug the...

I did two last mods on my list. I moved the vacuum port that was in the center of the basement over to the door edge where I can actually get to it. I saw this on Porthole's mod thread and was inspired to do it also. I also added 2 more 6 volt batteries for a total of 4 with a 3 way isolator...

Congratulations and let us know how it goes. I stopped into Sea Grins before they were a Heartland dealer and they seemed to be good people. Again, congratulations and good luck!

I added heat to the garage of my Cyclone 3010 since I missed the factory install by a couple of months. This was a very inexpensive project(about $40.00 for parts) but very time consuming. There is not a whole lot of room in the underbelly for a 4 inch duct. Half the battle was figuring out...

Did you see anywhere on the Heartland web site where it said they were a 4 season coach?

Please post back when you find the answer!

We're going to be heading to Tacoma in July to visit my aunt. My cousins said Gig Harbor where Alan is was the best place to stay. I spoke with the lady there and she said it does get very busy in the summer. Thanks to Google maps satellite I was able to zoom on my aunts house and see we had...

Being a boat owner for several years, I really liked the Perko switches that were on my boat. I used a 3 way Perko on my last trailer with 2 6 volt and 1 12. I just bought a new 3 way at West Marine and will do the same for my Cyclone. I plan on installing the new selector switch in the basement...

Duane, Sorry I missed this post. Yes I have all the parts on order ($40.00 inc. shipping) and will take pictures of work.

I had the dealer install 2 6 volt batteries before I picked up the Cyclone. I want to add 2 additional 6 volts. The mounting and wiring is no problem but am not sure about compatibility. The new batteries are Trojans T-125's. Here are the numbers off the batteries. Hope they make sense to...

Yup, heat in garage now. Missed it on mine by a month so I'm in the process of doing it now. The factory heat is mounted in the wall and not on a register in the floor. I'm setting mine up the same way, with a wall register.
