Hey all, we went out recently and were using our electric heat but it got really cold one night so I fired up the furnace. Turned the Dometic thermostat to heat and both the a/c unit and the furnace came on. Could not get the A/C off without cutting off the breaker for it. Furnace ran fine but...

Well BART, as we affectionately call him, is in the shop for transmission work. We have had an ongoing, intermittent issue with the transmission wanting to lock up in 4th gear. When it would do it the CEL would also some on with a code. The problem is that to get it to shift gears I'd have to...

Well folks the time has come. I'll be pulling out of here this coming Sunday morning for my new job as the Emergency Communications Manager for the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Gatlinburg. While we are looking for a house they set me up with a spot in Cades Cove for the Cyclone. Will...

Well folks there a good days, there are great days, there are amazing days... and there there are days like today! I got the call about 5pm today that I have been selected to be the new 911 Telecommunications Manager for the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I should be reporting for duty mid...

We got to talking about this in another thread so to avoid completely hijacking that one I wanted to start one here and see who all is into flying Radio controlled aircraft. I have been flying for a little over 10 years now. I started out in electrics, dabbled with glow for a while and now fly...

Been reading, shopping, and hunting for the best tire for BART. Decided to spend a few extra bucks to get the Michelin LTX MS2's put on it. Will be my first time with this brand but from what I've read they seem to be a great tire. I've had Firestone, Goodyear, and BFG's in the past. American...

Or as we like to call it around here... "Horrible Freight" Why do they always have everything I can't live without? Guess I'm going shopping again tomorrow... ;) Man they have some good deals. Maybe not always the highest quality but for their prices, some of their stuff can almost be treated...

My Son started college this fall at Virginia Polytechnic and State Institute (Va Tech for short). He is in Air Force ROTC and a Cadet in the Military portion of the school. One of only 4 public military colleges in the US that also enroll civilian students. He is studying Physics and aiming to...

Ok so I was getting the camper ready to take back to storage this afternoon and while bringing the slide out in it just stopped while holding the switch down. I thought a fuse blew so I checked that but it had not so I pushed the switch again and it started moving, then it stopped again. On the...

Just kind of getting back on the forums here in the past few days and never really talked about getting my new (to me) truck. We gout our Cyclone 3110 back in Feb of last year and towed with our 2004 F-250 for over a year with it. I had put on air bags and upgraded shocks it did ok but I really...

We purchased our 3110 from RV Outlet in Danville VA in Feb of 2013. We picked it out off the lot so we got an "as is" model so to speak, meaning we didn't get to order some of the things that in hindsight I would really liked to have had. But that being the case we really like what we did get...

OK so I do a lot of stuff at night. I was looking for a good way to light up the back and the cargo bay light just wasn't cutting it. So I ordered a roll of waterproof LED's and the rest is history. Turned out a lot better than I had hoped it would.

While cleaning up after returning from our last trip over the 4th my wife noticed these little balls on the floor. They appear to be out of some sort of bearings. all together we found three of them. I have had absolutely nothing in the coach that uses this type of bearing for them to come out...

We went camping up at Misty Mountain Camp Resort in Greenwood VA for the 4th of July. We took a couple of our model planes as we always do hoping to get a flight or two in if possible. We flew a couple times during the day and as usual a few spectators would come around and ask questions. We...

Spotted an Elkridge in the Rest stop just east of Richmond VA on I-64. We had already passed the off ramp so could not stop to say hi. Spent the whole week up in the mountains and didn't see a single Heartland until we were on our way home. There was 3 other TH's in the campground with us, A...

We are pulling out around 8 in the morning for Misty Mountain Campground in Greenwood VA, near Charlottesville. Looking forward to a great weekend celebrating our Nations Birth and spending time with the DW and 2 of my great kids. This will be the first trip with our new golf cart loaded in the...

Saw this today. Small little Mercedes M class pulling this beast. Merc was riding on the bump stops too!:confused:

I want to buy a golf cart - BOUGHT ONE! I have been wanting one for a while now but until this last trip to the Virginia rally the DW was not that keen on it. We rode our bikes until her knee started to bother her and now she is on board with the idea of getting one. Would like a new one but...

Mounted my GoPro on the top of our Cyclone for the trip over to the Eastern Shore for the Virginia rally. Had an awesome time at the rally and got some pretty cool footage on the way there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBHyK3rQ3Os

I fly model planes and got this in an email from a company called Hobby King out of China. I know there is a language barrier but surely they are smarter than this! Everyone I know in the hobby is having a blast over this one! It is a receiver that goes into a helicopter for radio control.

OK I'm thinking I might be getting too old for this stuff... Playing softball tonight for my Church team and was going after a foul ball from 1st base. I knew I was getting close to the fence but my pitcher yelled out "plenty of room" right after that I nailed the fence dead square on the post...

Just got back from our first big road trip. 1400 miles round trip to south Georgia and back for the South East Electric Flight Festival.

A little over a year ago my son Mason and I took the FAA ground school in hopes of both of us becoming a pilot. Just fun for me but a career ambition for him. We were both flying at the Aero club on Langley AFB but budget constraints shut that down and I can't afford for both of to do it at the...

Rant time... I don't typically put a company on blast but it's going to happen tonight so bear with me... Last week I ordered a set of Air Lift Air bags for my truck from SDtrucksprings.com. I was having a hard time finding the right part for my truck with the 5th wheel hitch I have mounted...

I have been wanting to add a set of clearance lights on my truck for a while now and actually bought these a while back, just never got around to installing them as the thought of drilling holes in my roof was just a bit much to handle! But I finally got around to doing it today. It was a lot...

I have a chance to pick up a gently used Splendide 2100XC from a good friend of mine who doesn't need it. It's a really good buy based on the new price. I have no experience at all with R/V Washer/Dryers... is this unit any good? Worth buying.

OK so my little fuel lie-o-meter and temperature/compass dealie went out not too long ago. I haven't worried too much about it as I never really paid it much mind but I got to thinking about it and replacing it thinking I may sell or trade the truck in for a 350 later this summer. So I did a...

Has anyone looked into this. I posted the website link but it got deleted. Here is a youtube video that shows it and what it's all about. I am very interested in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugE1gS1zoXU

Where do you put your Owners Club plaque? I got mine today and am trying to decide where to put it.

Our new Heartland Owners Club badges came today... Ironically so did the payment book!;)

Help! I am looking to get a set of airbags but can't get a straight answer from any of the companies that sell them whether they will work with the Reese Signature series Elite hitch that has the rails that mound under the bed. From what I can see it looks like the plate on the side of the frame...

Hello, We just took delivery of our new 2013 Cyclone 3110 last weekend and joined the Owners Club last night. Looking forward to some warm weather and getting the new rig out for some fun. We are in the Yorktown in the Colonial area of the Commonwealth. I retired from the USAF back in 2001 and...

Hi all, We just picked up our new 2013 Cylcone 3110 last Saturday. We moved up for sure, traded in a 2005 Trail Cruiser bunk house. She was a good camper that we enjoyed for many years but lacked any real comfort features, she was pretty bare bones... So far we are loving the Cyclone. We...
