    Hurricane Matthew getting ready to hit florida

    We just arrived home to Silver Springs FL one week ago, got all the patio furniture out and had to put it all away again to prepare for hurricane Matthew. We were a bit nervous sitting out this massive storm in our new RV but we are fulltimers and if we were going down it would be with our new...

    2017 Heartland Cyclone 3611JS HD

    Congratulations on your 3611JS! We also have a 3611JS and we live fulltime in it. We carry our Goldwing in the garage when traveling otherwise the garage is extra living space. Prior to owning this toy hauler we had two 5th wheels, both Big Horns by Heartland. We loved them but we had no...

    Anyone see the new 4005 floorplan?

    We had the frameless windows in our Big Horn and yes they can remain open when it rains BUT the airflow is HORRIBLE. We much prefer the framed windows in our Cyclone 3611JS over frameless windows. We prefer function over look. We fulltime in our Cyclone and so far so good, we have only had it...

    Norcold 2118SS -- water/ice on bottom of freezer compartment

    We have a 2118x Norcold ss refrig in our 2017 Cyclone that we have owned since April of this year and we have had two issues. The doors were not level and hence the door flap seal was not closing 100%. Gary was able to fix himself thanks to this forum by taking the low side doors off and...

    Differences between RW and Cyclone for Full Timers

    Truth be told I was not originally a fan of toyhauler lack of living space. However after purchasing our 3611JS Cyclone in April and having lived in it full time since then I LOVE having a toyhauler. We purchased our from the same dealer we purchased our previous 2 Big Horn 5th wheels from...

    Talk me into it...

    Here is our two cents on downsizing! We went from a TT to a 38' Big Horn 5th wheel, then to a 42' 5th wheel 2016 Big Horn 3875FB. We are fulltimers and living full time in the 42' 5th wheel was oh so spacious the front bath was amazing, BUT.......42' is just too big to fit into a lot of state...

    Sink Falling Out - Design Flaw!

    The 3M 5200 is what Gary used for the repair! It is also available at Home Depot. Our sink falling out was definitely not due to travel and sink covers, we have been parked in one place since April 16th as we are workamping. We are fulltimers and we treat our RV like gold as it is our home...

    Sink Falling Out - Design Flaw!

    Our sink does not have clamps, it has epoxied studs that go thru the corners and the centers of the front and side with washers and unusual looking threaded nuts. There is no way to tighten any as they were all covered in epoxy and the epoxy has come loose. Gary has researched on the internet...

    3611JS - Design Suggestions

    #3 - Yes we will be changing out the faucet when we return to our home base in Florida this coming winter, just seems like it makes too much sense to install a proper faucet when building the unit! I have seen MANY Heartland 5th wheel owners changing out the bathroom faucets for the same...

    Our New Home on Wheels 2017 Cyclone 3611JS

    Yup former Heritage Softail owner and Fat Boy owner, we downsized from two bikes to one. Once owning and riding a GoldWing we would NEVER go back to a Harley, no comparison in ride for two up riding. Susan

    3611JS - Design Suggestions

    We purchased our 3611JS in April and we are full timers and as we get "settled" we are noting things that we feel could be improved upon. 1. Couch in living area, needs light switch on BOTH ends of the couch not just on one end. 2. Pantry needs shelving all the way from top to bottom as there...

    Uninformed Heartland owners

    We learned about both before we even purchased our first Heartland product. During our research phase of purchasing our first RV and while visiting the Tampa RV show. We have been members since 2009 and though we have only attended one Rally, the 1st one held in Florida, we will remain...

    New Owner! 2017 RW425

    Congratulations on your purchase! We have a 2017 Cyclone 3611JS and we found a similar issue due to the location of the register and the thermostat in the master bedroom. We went to Lowes and for $1.98 purchased an expandable, magnetic vent diverter that directs the heat away from the Master...

    110 Electrical Problem in 3611JS Cyclone

    Thanks for all the replies! Yes we agree the fireplace should be on a separate switch/breaker, but apparently it is NOT! We have run the generator and there is still no power to the switches. We have just yesterday settled into our site where we will be stationary for the next several months...

    Looking for feedback on Office version of BH 3875 FB

    Re: 3875fb You will love the 3875FB. We ordered ours new in 2015 and though we do not have the office option we have the half bath option, we love the half bath and the extra cabinet storage it provided. We now have a motorcycle to bring with us so we are trading in our 3875FB for a 2017...

    Sick of Heartland Big Horn! Worst purchase we have ever made

    Good to hear you got your RV back and repaired. We have had a similar situation happen with our 3875FB Big Horn with the Frigidaire water and ice in the door, water leak not once but twice while still under warranty. We live full time in our RV and my view is whether it is a stix n'brixs or an...

    Our New Home on Wheels 2017 Cyclone 3611JS

    We did it, we traded in our 2016 Big Horn 3875FB for a 2017 Cyclone 3611JS so we can transport our Honda Gold Wing easier. We are currently at our dealer waiting on the new home to be prepped and we hope to be out of here on Friday or Saturday to head east to Massachusetts for our summer stay...

    Differences between RW and Cyclone for Full Timers

    We currently have a 3875FB that we live in full time. We are "considering" a toy hauler as we have a Gold Wing. We are full time Florida residents, both retired, own an RV lot in the Ocala, FL area and winter here and travel out of Florida in the summer. We love our 3875FB, the only item I...

    Sick of Heartland Big Horn! Worst purchase we have ever made

    We have owned TWO Big Horns and for us owning an RV is no different than owning a sticks n'bricks there is always going to be something. The AC issues have been addressed and my comments are only geared towards the water line leak as we had a similar issue with our 2016 3875FB but we did not...

    new 3875fb

    We have had our 2016 3875FB for just under a year now, moved into it for fulltime living in Sept 2015 and we could not be happier! We love this floor plan. One thing we did not realize was the "insulation" factor for the bedroom, inbetween the front bath and the downstairs living area, it...

    Mattress replacement

    OMG after much research, yes I often research things "to death"........I opted to purchase the 13" Brentwood Home mattress from Amazon and I can't say enough GOOD things about this purchase.

    How old is your BigHorn?

    Ordered our 3875FB in March 2015 and picked up at dealer May 2015. Traded in our 09 Big Horn 3600RL and no loan on current rig. Just sold the S/B and packing up to transition into our Big Horn for our fulltiming experience beginning 9/18.......doesn't get much more exciting than that! Susan

    Re: Just hooked up to our new BH 2875FB We have a Big Horn FB with a king bed and I sleep on the front/bathroom side and at first I thought "oh no I will never be able to get in and out of bed let along make the bed".

    Things I would change about my Bighorn

    Well we LOVE our 2016 Big Horn 3875FB! We ordered it without the carpet and if we could have ordered it without carpet in the bedroom we would have! Our previous 2009 Big Horn we see HUGE improvements in our new Big Horn. The light switches are all labled and very visible right inside the...
