I live in an area of Baton Rouge that received more than 32 inches of rain in 72 hours. All my neighbors for miles around me were flooded 1 to 5 feet deep in their homes. I built my home in 1992 to an elevation 3 feet above historic inundation records. When the waters rose I had 29 inches to...
The flaps are used to connect the patio fence to the vertical wall where the tail light is located. This flap blocks the gap opening in order to keep in little kids and dogs.
BTW, when you extend the rear awning over your rear patio, the bracket arms are stowed in the end of the awning. Once...
The wife and I looked at the 4113 having a similar floor plan to the 3110. It has one more axle, 5 more feet in length, more garage with another bathroom. The 3110 trade in value would be below $50k, there would be a monthly note again, and I would have to enlarge the driveway apron at the...
I have a 2014 - 3110. The "door slide" I refer to as the kitchen slide, the "off door" slide I refer to as the sofa slide. When operating the slides, the kitchen slide runs out first. When it completes the run then the sofa slide will run out until you hear the hydraulics just begin to stall...
LOL!
I know what you mean. The original tires have already been replaced. What you see now are Hercules Power STR tires, F-rated at 95 psi. They have been on the rv nearly as long as the original tomax. I check the pressure before every trip and they never lose air like the tomax did. I...
I used #10 x 1 inch self tapping sheet metal screws. These were basically the same size but use a 5/16" nut driver socket on the hex head.
The lip seal Heartland sent me was identical to the vertical and roof slide seals. There was no paper work or identifying numbers on the box.
Here is...
Last month I sent a letter to Heartland because the under side lip seal under the living room slide had dropped down and was damaged by the right rear tire. The fasteners were more than 24 inches apart. Heartland sent me a new seal. I installed it today with the fasteners about 8 inches...
I've seen quite a number of 3 axle toy haulers being pulled by 3/4 ton SRW trucks down here in the south. I moved up to a DRW Super Duty to pull my 2 axle 3110 and couldn't be happier, or more relaxed/relieved.
We were returning home this morning after a weekend camping trip. I happened to notice a piece of rubber fly out from under the sofa slide. I stopped and the tire was ok but the end of the rubber deflector shield had dropped down onto the rear tire. It didn't take long for the tire to rub it...
Thanks to the poor condition of Louisiana interstates I put them on my F250. It only took 20 psi to eliminate surging. Yesterday coming here to the campground the RV was surging on a bad stretch of I-10. I guess I will be putting them on my new F350 DRW. There is no question the rear springs...
The wife and I have a 2014 Cyclone 3110. I only got about 14 months or 1200 miles on my tires before one separated on a cold, rainy day. I replaced the four and the spare with F-rated Hercules tires. They don't lose air between trips we take it out once per month camping. We are leaving at...
I agree. There is a lot of bouncing and shaking going on. The glass fixtures are not light and only have a plastic threaded washer holing them in place. I addressed this in this link: //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/50500-3110-light-fixture-over-sink?p=402015&highlight=#post402015
Wheel chocks for front wheels of my golf cart. Everything else is flat and secured to the floor d-rings to prevent them from becoming missiles during a panic stop. Anything else loose is stored in plastic containers with lids.
I can tell you that if you are making a hard 90 degree right turn, the safety cable is long enough to slip under the Reese Elite Hitch thus pulling the safety pin out of the switch. The brakes will set immediately and the trailer will not move. It is pretty unsettling until you realize what...
I just checked mine. They are painted black to match the black skirts so they are not rusting. However, they were all loose and backed out 1/8" or more. I am constantly tightening loose screws or repairing stripped screws.
I have a 3110 with the bedroom and living room ACs, and 50 amp service. I also have a 12,000 btu portable AC in the garage using the single plugin for the washer/dryer receptacle. I was only able to run all 3 ACs for about an hour before the RV Park pedestal tripped the 50 amp breaker. If I...
Be aware, if you bring in anything heavy and roll over the tool locker cover in the dovetail, the floor will flex pulling out all the screws holding the locker cover frame. I replaced the screws with stainless steel nuts and bolts.
Under a cover, plugged in, slides in. Camping trip scheduled at least once per month. 2 days before camping trip, open slides, turn on refrigerator, run each ac briefly, load golf cart.

Update, 7/12/15:
I had the awning checked by the dealer I am using now and he said the motor was bad. My extended warranty would not cover the replacement motor unless I took it back to the original dealer. I knew the motor was good because it would run at least in one direction. So I took...
I have a 2015 F350 Lariat with 5000 miles at 6 months old. Experienced no transmission issues in tow/haul or normal driving modes.
I have pulled my 3110 TH a total of 1500 miles with this truck. It has 4.30 gears and averages 10.5 to 11.5 mpg towing.
We have a 2014 3110 that we bought off the lot August, 2013. It has two AC units on the roof. A 13,500 btu over the bedroom and a 15,000 btu over the living room. Both are on separate single zone thermostats. There is a central duct in the ceiling running from the bedroom ceiling all the way...
Hello all,
Well I got tired of always being blocked from going to and from the garage or den when the slides are in. So I decided
yesterday to reverse the position of the sliding door. It was not hard but it is a tedious job. Also be careful because the
frames have very sharp corners and...

It appears to be a Carefree Freedom Wall Mount. There are numerous technical documents under that tab on that page.
Let me know what the dealer did to fix the retracting problem. My rear awning is doing the same thing. I had to retract it with a 3/8th ratchet. I downloaded the online manual. It describes limit switches that are between the motor and the ceiling reversing switch.
In December I changed from a SRW to a DRW Ford Super Duty. I have absolutely no regrets. The fuel mileage while towing appears to be better. Handling and drive-ability is greatly improved. The SRW maximum towing capacity was the same as the 3110, 16,000 pounds. The DRW is rated for 26,000...
thirdtimeround, You have my sympathy when it comes to the issue with the tires. I barely got 1500 miles on mine before the tread started separating on one tire. I got a cash adjustment from TowMax for that one tire but nothing for the other tires because they had not failed YET! I...
Hello Kenny and Beth,
Dee and I will be attending the Kinder rally. You're welcome to come join the gang. We will be travelling from Baton Rouge to Kinder on the 19th. It looks like Andy has 16 couples attending the rally. We're really looking forward to this event.

True, but these two jacks are handier and have more convenient access than the factory stowed away TV jack. Because they are so handy I can use them also for non-RV related chores.
I bought this low profile floor jack from Harbor Freight to keep in the tool locker in the garage of my Cyclone. If I had a flat I would use it to get the axle up high enough to put the bottle jack stand under the axle. Both jacks are rated at 3 tons, 6000 lbs. The tires probably see about...
I picked up this bottlejack/jackstand combo at Tractor Supply. I find it is easier and safer when jacking up under the axle. It doesn't take up much room in the basement.
Same here on my 2014 3110 with respect to stripped out screws everywhere. Sometimes I can fix it with toothpicks put into the oversized hole and putting the screw back in. Sometimes I have to come back with a larger screw.
Otherwise, I am happy with my RV.
