I knew I wanted to get new tires for my Cyclone before I even ordered it. I crossed my fingers and held my breath for a few trips. Whether the impending explosion of my towmax tires was a real or perceived risk, I nonetheless travelled with anxiety. The kind folks at America's Tire relieved my...

I bought the Cyclone 4000 and had no intentions of getting a side by side. As things change I decided to get a RZR and wanted a 4 seater. The 4 seat 1000 specs out at 12'2" while my garage is 11'6". My 4000 has the sliding glass door offset to the door side. The door and glass panel come off...

My two bulb clear flood light on over my fuel station quit working. I have DC at the switch and it works. The bulbs appear intact. The visible wires all appear intact. I have no power at the light at all. I tested all the wires and contacts at the bulbs. Im not sure how the light base comes...

After about a year trying to decide which inverter to go with I pulled the trigger on a Magnum MS2012. I found a great price online and ordered the remote to go with it. I ordered a complete solar system to go along with this, but haven't installed it yet. The first step was deciding what type...

I forgot how smoky a new furnace in a new unit can get. It put a small haze in the air this afternoon when I ran it for a bit. Later tonight I ran it for about an hour while I installed the bedroom TV. It was the perfect storm of the smoke detector not wanting to work and me being preoccupied...

What exactly does this warning sticker mean? It says death or serious injury may occur if sleeping in this area. The problem is, it is right next to the bunks. Is it a warning to stay away from the lifting mechanism, or does it mean it is not safe to sleep in the garage (on the two queen...

After waiting what seemed like an eternity (9 weeks) I took delivery yesterday on my 4000. I ordered it in January, they built it in February, then the weather refused to cooperate. My wife kept making fun of me at the dealership, apparently I was pretty excited. We did the PDI walk through...

My coach has two entrance doors, front and rear. I would like to add a v4.0 RV Lock on the front, but have the rear door keyed alike. Will I need the Mechanical Handle, or can I key the RV Lock and remaining OEM lock alike? Thank you!

Has anyone been to Little Basin State Park? It's a brand new CA State Park, that until recently was a private campground/resort for Hewlett Packard. The have a few spots that on paper, appear to accommodate the bigger rigs. I know its a longshot, but if anyone has feedback I'd appreciate...

I am trying to decide between the Magnum MS2000 plus PI Surge Protector OR a Xantrex SW2012 and Intelligent Power Manager. From those of you that know, is this an apples to apples comparison? I've read a bit about Xantrex having customer service issues. Is this reason alone to steer clear...

I wanted to give a special "Thank You!" to Al, (DesertThumper) for all his help with this install. He was able to answer all my questions having already done this. I picked up the Viair Constant Duty air system (part 10007) to use with airbags, and general airing up duty. I installed it this...

I wanted to bounce an idea off the group, trying to make sure my logic is sound. I have the Viair Constant Duty On Board Air system. Compressor, tank, pressure switch, gauge and system on/off switch. The typical wiring per the instructions is to run ignition switched power to the system...

I'm selling my B&W Companion since it won't work with my new truck. If you, or someone you know, is looking for this hitch in the Sacramento, CA area send me a PM. I'm asking $350. This is everything you need above the bed to hitch a fifth wheel using the B&W turnover ball. Alex

I ordered a 2014 Ram 3500 in early December. My dealer was great about keeping me updated, and had much more detailed information than the Ram VOTS website. It was pretty neat getting emails that it was on a train in Mexico, then crossing the border, into Arizona, through LA, eventually to...

I was catching up on some of my DVR programs and watched "Buying RVs". On the episode "Chopper RV" they showcase a Cyclone 4000. Apparently the premise of the show is they follow a family shopping for an RV and watch as they compare three different models. This episode compared a Jayco fiver...

It's official. After almost ten months of researching and waiting we ordered a 4000 today. We drove nearly 200 miles to see the closest dealer with this particular floor plan. We promised each other that we would not be buying a trailer today, since the display model did not have all our...

I am in the official tire kicking stage of my Cyclone buying process. After months of internet research I am visiting dealers this weekend. I looked at the 4100 and 3800 yesterday at the local dealer. We are taking a 3 hour road trip tomorrow to look at the 4000. I am fairly confident that...

I wasn't quite sure if I should post this in General or Tow Vehicles, so I'll just leave it right here. Two new laws in California just made it possible for every private DRW and soon, HDT truck owner to avoid the Motor Carrier Permit (CA Numbers on the truck) process. First a little...

I think I've narrowed my fifth wheel hitch choices down to the Reese R20 or the Curt Q24. It looks like both Hitches have solar features. Both will work with my intended Cyclone (18k gvwr). I'm having trouble finding good a way to decide which one to get. The Curt is a little less expensive...

This will only likely be of interest to those currently shopping for the longer fivers in California. As some of you know DMV incorrectly ruled that fivers over 40 feet were illegal to register in California, closing the door to many Heartland trailers (the 4000 Cyclone) in my case. Many...

My wife and I are looking to replace our current SOB with a Cyclone 4000. Lucky for me, our current dually is too small for the family, dogs and trailer and must be replaced. At this point I am nearly set on the Ram 3500, but I can't decide between the crew and mega cab. I am well aware of...

Hi all - My wife an I are looking for a toy hauler, and we are leaning heavily toward the Cyclone 4000 (and to a lesser degree the 4100). It is by no means a deal breaker since we don't normally camp with our quads, but I'd like to know if anyone has actually fit two Polaris Sportsman 700s...
