Re: Hey why's my truck in pieces?! @ mmomega, when you said "delete the EGR cooler and EGR Valve," did you actually mean remove entirely? Just want to make sure I understand.

Re: Hey why's my truck in pieces?! How does deleting the EGR help the issue if the coolant turns to sludge and works it's way through the engine destroying everthing else? Sounds like to root cause is bad coolant, is that not correct?

Re: Hey why's my truck in pieces?! mmomega, in your signature it shows you have a programmer on your Ford, is that on the '07 or '11? If it's on the '07, did they have an issue with the mod and still having the warranty cover the repairs?

Pony Express RV Resort is a fairly new park in North SLC. I have only driven by it, but it seems pretty nice and conveniently located to the highway for trips anywhere in SLC or PC. There's also the Park City RV Resort. I've been to PC many times and didn't even know there was a RV park there...

I did a little research and found a company with an A rating on BBB, they are Deer Creek Corporate Services in Helena, MT. They charge a fee $1295 with an annual fee to maintain the LLC of $100. They also recommend setting up a local checking account and mailing address (for additional fees) to...

Haven't ordered the new Cyclone just yet, but plan on it soon. I'm taking my time in making sure I choose the right coach. I didn't do that last time and believe me, I learned my lesson. I've checked into CA laws and as long as I take delivery outside the state line, I'm good to go to not pay...

Wanna do my taxes?! :)

I'm assuming you itemized your deductions then. I don't have enough deductions to itemize, thus I usually take the standard deduction. So with that said, my sales tax doesn't come back to me...at least from what I can remember when I bought my current 5er two years ago. Nonetheless, I am still...

Sounds like this particular firm seems suspect. But for those of you living in MT or that have done this, who do you recommend? I am very interested. Thanks! And by the way, it's not an issue for me to have a differenct DL vice registration on truck and RV since I am Active Duty. As it is now...

Can anyone from the factory chime in on what is different on production units to comply with the new requirements?

Just came across this organization that claims they have a process to which you don't have to pay sales tax on your new RV. They charge a "fee" to help you set up your own company in which you register your RV under. Something smells fishy here...or too good to be true. Anyone have experience or...

I have FT insurance through Geico. The only difference in FT ins and part time insurance, from what I was told, is the amount of liability you carry. There's extra liability on our policy so for example, if we have a guest over and they fall and get injured, we are covered for those injuries...

I found this article about changes to the Canadian RVIA Seal requirements: http://www.rvbusiness.com/2011/06/rvia-canadian-seal-changes-effective-june-1/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+RvBusiness+%28RV+Business%29 The article is pretty vague on what is actually...

I finally was able to find a new 3800 at a dealer and went to take some measurements. With the current configuration of storage just outside the closet, I don't see how it's possible to modify the panel that forces the w/d to face inboard. That panel is just not wide enough to cut a hole and...

I have the Transfer Flow TraxII 75 gal aux tank in my F350. Combined with my factory 29 gal tank I can hold 104 gal of diesel. I installed the aux tank after our second trip with the FW bc we nearly ran out of fuel while on the road. We had stopped at a truck stop off the Interstate 95 to...

I asked this same question to Heartland since the Bighorn and Landmark are "designed for fulltime use" and their other FW/TH are not. I wanted to know what was different in the construction that allowed the BH and LM to be fulltimed in. Their response was there is no difference in...

In my research to buy a Cyclone, I talked to the factory and while it's not wired for a 2nd a/c in the garage, they said they could do it at the factory for an extra $130. I assume the RW is the same in that it is not wired in the garage, but can be done. You should give them a call and see...

We also have an aux fuel tank in the bed of the truck which provides an extra 75 gal of diesel. After our first trip with our 5er, we almost ran out of fuel bc the truck stop we stopped at closed all their pumps due to water in the fuel. We barely made it to another truck stop, and when I say...

I have a 06 F350 PS SRW towing a 38ft 5er, I get 8-10 towing.

Gib, I PM'd you earlier this morning with info on my experience with SOB, hopefully it helps. I know what you're experiencing is frustrating, but you do have one thing going for you, it's a Heartland product and their customer service, at least in my experience, is one of the best I've seen in...

Every fifth wheel frame flexes a small amount (this is normal), but if there's a an excess in flexing (not normal), it could cause major issues. In my SOB I have excessive flexing and the repairs that were done on it required the dealer to remove the front cap and install reinforcements (wood...

Jim, your reply beat me with my edit. I couldn't quite get my questions to come out right and not sound like I was trying to stir the pot...so to speak. I appreciate your candor and now I want to take your response and pass it to the naysayers that gave me bum gouge. I truly believed it was...

I've been researching Heartland RVs for over a year and with my Type A personality and thoroughness (other people call it anal :) ), I've heard some crazy stuff through the grapevine and I'm hoping someone can either confirm or dispell. I've heard that some top level execs/managers at Heartland...

I tried using PAM a few years ago and I found it actually attracted more dirt and debris and left more junk for me to clean off. I have found that if you wet the area you want to clean, then wet a bounce dryer sheet, and simply use the dryer sheet to wipe of the bugs, they come off like warm...

Not to be bias, but I am. I've owned two Keystone 5ers, a 2006 Montana and a 2010 Everest. I will never own another Keystone product ever again. If you have the opportunity to choose between a Heartland product or a Keystone product, choose Heartland! JMHO.

AJ, I'm glad you put in writing what we discussed on the phone yesterday. Maybe someone else will struggle to understand to differences between Cyclone and Voltage and I'm sure this thread will help. After discussing with my wife what you and I discussed yesterday, we have decided to rule out...

I talked to Chuck a couple of weeks ago. For my 06 F350 PS, the Speedbrake is the only application available. I think before we buy our next 5er and head to the East Coast, I'll get it. Thanks y'all!

As far as the construction appearing to be similar between the Voltage and Cyclones, don't they both use Lippert Components frames? I do agree the Voltage looks a little more flashy, but the wife really likes it and as long as it is sound construction I'm okay with it. I guess my biggest...

I'm looking at the Voltage 3950 (only one with 1.5 baths) vs the Cyclone 3800 (also with 1.5 baths). Please forgive my ignorance, but what is UDC? Some things I like about the Voltage is that it has a 12 cu frig, w/d hookups in the garage, stainless sink in 1/2 bath, more storage in main...

@ Cookie, sorry for the late reply, but yes, it's the speed brake. I already have the IQ system and the speed brake just plugs right into it. @ brianharrison, please let me know what you find out. Thanks!

So I've been researching Cyclones for several months and have talked to several owners in addition to many Heartland reps and was nearly sold on the 2012 3800 HD. This will be my third fifth wheel and I have learned to not buy based solely on floor plan, but primarily on quality of construction...

Thanks y'all! I found an article that listed Brian Brady as the CEO in 2008 but haven't been able to find a more recent article to confirm. Maybe I'll give Mike A. a call first. I appreciate the help! Tim

In doing my research on our new TH, I'm 99.9% sure we will purchase a Cyclone. I plan on buying in the next few weeks, but want to be 100% sure I am making the right decision. I didn't do this last time when we bought our 2010 SOB fifth wheel and now we are dealing with many issues which I'll...

My quest for a new truck has been put on hold for a little while since the wife and I are expecting our first kiddo in a few months. So I'm back to finding some fun improvements for my '06 F-350 6.0L PS. I'm interested in buying a Banks Exhaust Brake. I already have the IQ Six-Gun System and...

For those who would like a bigger bathroom, how about a split bath like in this image? There is a wall with pocket door seperating the bathroom from bedroom and providing a seperate area for the w/d. Having a bath like this really increases the roominess! Just a thought...

I would like to see a 2 bedroom with 1.5 baths with laundry hookups not in the main bedroom Landmark floorplan!

I've been getting different answers when I talk to different people so I called the local CHP office and they said since I am military (non-CA resident) stationed here, that I am exempt from having to get any extra certification; however, my wife (who is also TX resident) is required to get a CA...

I probably posted this in the wrong section. Mods - please move to correct location if you need to. Thanks!

I am a resident of TX stationed in CA. After consulting TX DPS, I found out I am illegal towing my 5er. According to TX, with a combined GVWR of truck and trailer over 26,000lbs, I am required to have a Class B CDL. If I were under 26,000lbs, a Class B non-CDL would suffice. But I can't get...
