    Dual Alternator Option on Tow Vehicle

    I was told by long time friend and truck mechanic no need for the dual alternators unless you have a lot of aftermarket accessories that run all the time and you idle a lot, so we opted out and went with single, have had no issues. You will love the new Denali, picked ours up in December, its...

    2015 4200 garage carpet?

    We ordered for ours, its okay and matches and we got it as part of the deal, but if you have the three season wall for your back patio like we do, its actually too long and has to be rolled up or cut I guess, PITA, not really worth it and wont bother on our next rig.

    Double Pane -- good idea?

    We got them on our previous rig because they were there, and this year it was a deal breaker on the new one, so we ordered instead of buying without off the lot. Never will have another trailer without, worth every penny and no sweating between panes... and we travel south in the spring, even...

    Thinking about truck upgrade

Not sure what year your 2500 was, but i just upgraded went from a 2011 to a new 2015 and and the upgrades...

    Cyclone 4100 king wheel rim capability.

    Rims are part of it, need to upgrade your valve stems too as they are also different for the 110 rating, they must be all metal, not half and half like with the 80 lbs rating.

    Disney Camp Wildnerness

    Cyclone 4200 ideas

    Re The Licence questions and weigh scale comments, let me clarify as checked with the DOT when we got ours a few years back. In Ontario, if you are driving any rig with a 5th wheel camping trailer over 23,000 lbs combined weight (truck and trailer), YES, you need an AR (R=Restricted) licence...

    Air Ride Poll

    A vote For Firestone, I was going to install air lift bags but you have to drill on GM trucks if you have an in-bed 5ver or gooseneck hitch (duh), so I sent them back and installed the firestone, no drilling required. I had them my 2011 for 3 years with no issues, traded it in and just added...

    Air Bags on board Compressor mounting locations

    Thanks Murry, I could do that too, my tool box sits in the bed so its under the tonneau but I could mount it on the side of it. How do you like the air lift wireless air system, have read a few mixed reviews.

    Air Bags on board Compressor mounting locations

    Hey Folks, Just curious where folks have chosen to mount their compressors for their on board air bag control. Both Air Lift, and Firestone, want "protected" from weather locations and no heat, so to me that only leaves inside the cab. My previous truck, I mounted it up under the bed on the...

    New 2015 4100 ramp door issues

    Update: Team Lead called me and we had a lengthy lively discussion, I wont go into too many details about the logic behind their stance ($$) except to say they know its wrong, its just not wrong enough for them to replace the door. So they are going to send me new hinges N/C and hopefully...

    New 2015 4100 ramp door issues

    And their unbelievable response is "We (heartland) are not responsible for cosmetic defects, its just too bad and he even acknowledges that the handles are definitely not straight or aligned but its just too bad for me , nothing they can do as its cosmetic. told me to try the dealer again to...

    New 2015 4100 ramp door issues

    There is no way I want a patched door on my brand new trailer, they should replace it with a new one lined up correctly. We will see what happens next when I call them tomorrow.

    New 2015 4100 ramp door issues

    Was wondering if anyone else has an issue with their ramp door hinges being installed crooked. Our are off almost an inch side to side one is higher than the other and both are not level when they are locked. One angles down and the other up. Also the grab handles are even at different heights...

    Ordering a new 4100 this week!

    Yup fully agree with scottyb as well, we also carry about 2k when traveling, only other thing you may want to consider is, like scottyb and us, upgrading the stock 18k pin box to something with a little higher capacity just in case. We choose the 5th airborne which is rated at 21K.

    ATF: Cyclone - Yeti/Canadian Actic Package Documentation

    Thank you sir. Was really hoping for some official Document from Heartland but if none exists so be it. Just worried about what the warranty would cover if I have an issue. I guess it would be hard for them to claim improper usage if there is no documentation. Was thinking we could use it on our...

    ATF: Cyclone - Yeti/Canadian Actic Package Documentation

    Was wondering if there exists any documentation on the composition and proper use of the Canadian Arctic Package? I would really prefer to know rather than guess how it is set up and supposed to be used.

    Happi Jack beds in cyclone 4100

    One option you might want to consider is what we did, drill new pin holes in the rails so the upper bunk can sit about a 12 to 16 inches from the ceiling and then it is perfect for storage and not in the way of the lower set at all. You can even see the TV up on the wall no problem. Did this...

    Single Rear Wheels vs Dual Rear Wheels, Everyday Driving???

    Drive mine daily and have for last three years and love it. get the rear camera and parking assist, helps a lot. As others have said, you just park a little farther away and I don't take it Christmas shopping on the 23rd. After few months you will be able to squeeze into most spots no problem...

    My first Blowmax blowout: photo

    We just picked up 2015 4100 and factory ordered the Goodyear G614's and they came on the exact same rims as you have,16x6J, so if the factory installs them on these rims you should be good to go.

    Air bags for 1 ton dually

    We tired our GMC Dually without them and it was a little rough and swatted a lot. Added Firestone Ride Rite, huge difference in comfort and we can now level it out. Originally ordered Air lift bags, but they were not (no drill) as advertised for our yr/model Truck so we exchanged them for the...
