    Shipping an RV to Heartland?

    I found ruptures in the fiberglass skin of my 2012 Cyclone 4014. Location is the forward, bottom corner of the front bedroom slide. It's very near the pin box on the driver's side (there's another thread detailing the damage that I can see). As an engineer, I'm thinking the absolute worst...

    2012 Cyclone model 4014 Mystery Crack in the outer wall fiberglass

    A crack / rupture has developed in the lower front corner of my bedroom / bed slide, forward on the driver's side. It is nearly identical with where my tailgate is on my truck. I checked - there was no impact between the top of the top of the truck bed and the bottom of the trailer. I called...

    Which tape to use on Maxxfan Deluxe install (Dicor, butyl or putty)?

    My bathroom roof vent lid got blasted in a recent storm - 2 fist-sized holes! Made a temporary repair with some beautiful, colorful duct tape that the Mrs had stashed in her craft kit. The original was crappy/cheap and began crumbling when I tried to remove the screen... Time for a...

    RM1350 Runs better on propane than electricity?

    I've got a 2011 mfg Dometic RM1350 4-door fridge in a 2012 Cyclone 4014. I had the electricity off today for about 6 hours (for other problems) and noticed the temperature of the refrigerator dropped on propane (~39°F). The temp climbs a few degrees on the electricity (~45°). I'm in Upstate NY...

    50 amp plug heat with a/c

    I've noticed that the 50 amp plug (at the pole) gets warm when using one of 2 air conditioners. Thinking it's because of a loose connection somewhere - at the breaker panel or even the ac. Anyone have similar issues to point me in the right direction? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Progressive Dynamics 50 Amp Transfer Switch

    Mine has mostly failed and is due for replacement. I have a 2012 Cyclone 4014 and it came stock with the Pd52. I have no ectrical protection and want to replace this with a current model. I notice there are new versions that offer electrical protection - is there a benefit to one of these over a...

    Consider these:

    1. Outside lights above front and rear entry doors, and 2. Awnings that cover the front and rear entry doors. I have a 2012 mdl 4014 and would like #1. My pal has 2013 4250 (with side deck) and the awnings break over the front entry door. (#2) Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Two VASTLY different customer service experiences

    I've contacted heartland three times this week: once to ask about a Road Warrior and twice to ask technical questions. Both times with tech support were duds. First I sent an email with my Vin to ask if my unit was pre-wired for a third a/c. The return call was prompt enough and informed me...

    Kitchen drawer rant

    Bottom blew out of my large kitchen drawer, under the oven in the 4014 Cyclone. Fixed it with angle brackets that I had on the workbench. It seemed strange to me that these magical Amish carpenters are using luaun for drawer bottoms - when the bottom of the drawer is doing all the work...

    Third axle - 2012 4014

    Just came back from a 2 week journey through the Northeast and noticed my rear 2 tires (3 axles) on the driver's side are much closer together than those on the opposite side. Can't get an appointment at the dealer until the end of August so I took the unit to a shop very close this morning...

    Hydraulic Landing Gear Fault?

    I've got a 2012 Cyclone 4014 with what I term "dumb" landing gear (not auto leveling) - the front is hydraulic, tied to the three slides and rear is electric stabilizers. When I depress the switch up front to raise the front of the trailer in my driveway, it usually trips multiple times. I...

    Shurflo water pump leak

    Hey folks, Had a little water wicking into the carpet at the bottom of my inside stairs leading to the head. I thought it was from the massive amount of condensation dripping from the main a/c. Wife was not satisfied with my answer, so I put my polar bear body into the basement and took down...

    Trying to remove TV from mount 2012 Cyclone 4014

    Hi Folks, Just took delivery of a new 2012 Cyclone 4014 on Saturday and was trying out the DVD player, so my 4 year old could watch, as I fiddled-around. Lo and behold, no picture after running through all of the TV inputs, but the audio was working fine through the stereo.. I can fix this...
