    Problems with converter burning up?

    We used it on our last trip and no problems at all, although when we first started it up we got a funny smell (like how some new electronics will smell burning off dust). We have not used the fireplace this trip though. My husband, me and a guy camping next to us starting investigating...

    Problems with converter burning up?

    Sorry this is short and to the point but we're out in Junction Tx, having to use wifi at office and almost no cell service at site. We think the converter went bad/is going bad on our 2014 Cyclone 3800. Could smell something electrical burning and then smoke starting filling the RV from the...

    Table hole plugs?

    I was thinking about a way to "plug" those holes too bc I doubt we'll ever use the tables. Did you ever get something to cover them? If so, any pictures?

    Screen door slides

    Well, at least we're not the only ones! I'll call Heartland directly tomorrow. The dealer said they were getting a bunch of flack from warranty about why they had missed it when they took delivery, how they/we missed it on PDI and why did it take the customer (us) so long to discover it...

    Screen door slides

    Any idea where they might have been packed in our new RV? They weren't on the doors (never noticed, even on the PDI) and I checked all the cabinets. When it finally cooled off and we opened the doors I kept looking at the screen door thinking What in the world is wrong? I should not have this...

    Another Cyclone 3800 on the road!!

    I am so excited I can barely contain myself!! Finally picked the RV up yesterday. Planning a trip in a couple of weeks but not sure yet where we'll go. It was an interesting ride home. We've never had a 5'er (2 previous bumper pull RV's) and I guess we had a lot of chucking? Of course I had...

    Ordering a unit - any suggestions in general, options to add/delete?

    Let us know when you're there and we'll come out and say hello. DH will be retiring from Bryan PD in the next few years. I'm sure y'all would have some good stories to share! Never been to an Aggie baseball game. Actually, never been to any Aggie sporting event.

    Thanks!! I swear we run into Aggie's all over this country! We stayed at a B&B in b.f.e. Nebraska and ate breakfast with a couple who'd graduated from TAMU. Lived for a few months in an itty bitty town in Wyoming - met an Aggie who lived nearby. They're everywhere!

    Just bc we live in Aggieland doesn't mean we're Aggies. ;) Usually we root for whoever is playing against them simply because living here with these students makes you want to strangle some of them. Although I will say this last year watching Manziel (on and off the field) has been...

    Thanks! We live in Bryan. My grandfather, two uncles and dad were members of the Pipeliners Union 798. My dad only a short time back in the 80's. It was kinda tough moving all the time but sure got to see alot of things.

    Ordering a unit - any suggestions in general, options to add/delete?

    Thanks for the link! Well, we wound up getting a great deal (about 31% off MSRP) on a unit in stock at a dealer here in Texas so we jumped on it. We're thrilled!! Planning to pick it up next weekend. Hoping to take the first trip in about a month. My family pipelined growing up so I...

    Thank y'all again for all the responses. Have talked w/ dealers (& the wholesalers) all over the country! We don't mind driving to pick up the RV and are figuring that into the total cost.

    Dealer Experiences

    Colt is no longer there but talked w/ Mitch and he was no non-sense. Quoted me a price right away on ordering an RV (no song and dance, no "what have others quoted you") which was less than anyone in Texas so far. It's about 27% off MSRP. Still searching for the best deal. Someone else...

    Yea, I'm thinking they'll be worth the expense especially if they help with the temp.

    Ordering a unit - any suggestions in general, options to add/delete?

    Holy smokes! Figured I'd get at least a couple of helpful replies but man y'all really went above and beyond. Can't thank you enough!! Our poor salesman will have fun with this order - adding, deleting, changing things up! We're still in the "pricing" phase but will hopefully get all the...

    Ordering a unit - any suggestions in general, options to add/delete?

    Hello! After over a year of researching, DH and I believe we've finally settled on the RV we want: Cyclone 3800. After talking with a dealer he suggested we order the unit (built from the factory) and get exactly what we want. We have never done this with anything (prior RV's or vehicles)...
