    What type of Truck is Needed for 2019 Cyclone 4200

    Reed, My only concern would be capacity of the rear tires on a SRW. We had a SRW, all the numbers were well within specs (similar to what you have done) and the rig towed beautifully, even did a 3-month trip cross country from east to west and back. Then at the National Rally in Urbanna, VA...

    New to 5th Wheels

    Agree with Santa, while most first time buyers don't go to this expense, I feel a lot of frustration could be avoided if they had a professional inspection/maintenance been done the first time around. JMHO

    Cold weather and my Sundance

    We camped in similar conditions with our 2012 Sundance 2900MK. I did add a drop light behind the basement wall over the water pump. We didn't have any problems.

    Morryde vs Lippert Entry Steps

    We purchased the MorRyde solid step at the Elkhart National Rally, really loved them. Several folks tested what we had and ordered them for their own camper. Then it hit me, I wouldn't be able to deploy them when the camper was in the RV Garage. After talking to Gary Wheeler, they took back...

    Heater problem......

    My nephew had a similar problem and ended up replacing the batteries. When he went to change out the batteries, he realized the original batteries were almost dry. It seems he hadn't checked the water level because he was told they were maintenance free. He may have needed new batteries...

    2017 F350 headlights blinding other drivers

    I agree with the OP, I had airbags on my last truck and while it did improve the handling when towing, they definitely stiffened the ride to the point DW didn't like the truck. I can only assume the reason for the harsher ride was the need to leave at least 5 lbs in the bags so you didn't...

    B&w hitch install GMC 3500

    I used the setup that came from B&W for my Companion hitch and it was right on. When measuring the frame to ground, only had 3/4" difference from front to rear. I have a 2015 Silverado 3500 CC DRW and 8' bed.

    Larry, We were hoping to join your rally, but the stars weren't in alignment. We want to visit Branson next spring and like to know how the campground your using for the rally is? Good luck on the rally!

    Lowe's Military Discount Policy

    I wish I could say I had the same luck with HD, but I have had problems with the HD store at home, Orlando, FL and Florissant, MO. None of them questioned my retired ID, the check-out register would not apply the discount. The manager would have to be called to do a manual override. I have...

    Drawer latches

    I had the same problem, tried tweaking the tension, but the kitchen drawers would not stay shut. Before someone says they were overloaded, the only thing in them were the dish towels and wash clothes. I finally gave up and added a second latch and have not had any problems since. I got the...

    New England Bound

    What a timely thread!!! We are attending the National Rally, then going to Niagara Falls for a few days, then headed to Bar Harbor for a week. Since we are retired, we were going to "wing it" for some of the sites as we head back home to Virginia. Our only time constraint is we have to be home...

    Most economic way to heat water. Propane or Electric

    I agree with most of the comments provided as to which way to go. For those extended stays, we use propane, for short stays where electric is part of the daily charge, we go with electric. The other thing you have to beware of when you are using electric, especially if you have 30amp service...

    Hi Keith, I sincerely pray you are doing well! Unfortunately, Pam and I won't be attending the rally and I called yesterday to cancel our space (E17). We are hoping we will be able to come by for a visit since we live just down the road. We do plan on attending the National Rally at...

    Flooring Material?

    I also have an area that squeaks. Does anyone know how the flooring is attached to the substructure (screwed, glued, etc.)? Would like to attempt to secure the flooring, but don't want to make the matter worse depending upon how it is attached. Thanks,

    Prospective Buyer - 2008 Heartland Sundance 2900rk

    We have a 2012 Sundance 2900MK. We are not full timers, but are any timers, staying in our camper 2-3 months at a time. On one of our trips where I knew the temps would be in the teens, I took the precaution of adding a heat lamp behind the basement wall, added additional insulation and very...

    Tight Turn Technology - RV contacted truck cab

    When I bought my 5er, I was told I didn't need a slider for my GMC 2500 SB, however I went with the PullRite Slider (automatic) so I didn't have to remember to pull pins and then remember to manually normal up the hitch for standard towing. Due to our narrow street in our neighborhood, I have...

    Popular options to order?

    Don't know if it is a option, but in addition to getting rid of the Chinese tires, I would also go with disc brakes. We had MorRyde add them to our 5er and I will never have another camper without them. Good luck on your camper!!!

    Pullrite Superglide

    We used our SuperGlide for 5 years until we bought our current TV and no longer needed a slider. I loved the fact it was automatic and I didn't have to "remember" to stop the truck, pull a pin and let the hitch slide away from the cab or "remember" to put the hitch back into the normal towing...

    Condensation on windows - single pane windows

    When we started being "Any Timers", I was concerned about condensation in our unit. Got some great advise from the more experienced folks on the forum. I always vent during and after showers, when DW cooks (was informed propane puts off a lot of moisture) she uses the exhaust vent and for...

    Dual Fuel or Remote Start Generator?

    We have the older Champion 3100 (no remote start) and my brother-in-law has the Honda 2000's. Mine is as quiet has his, though the tank is small. It is 30amp, so you can't run two A/C's if this is a requirement for you.

    TST TPMS flow through yes or no

    We have the flow through and they are slower to add air than if you used the tire stem directly, but I like the fact I don't have to remove them to add or decrease the tire pressure. The ones we have I can change the batteries without sending them back to the manufacture. I would purchase them...

    Pinbox Frame Flex (Again) in So. Ca.

    When they (Heartland Factory) repaired my flex issue, I also paid to get it to the factory. When it was completed, John H stated if the flex should come back, they would pay to have the camper transported back to the factory. He said they didn't feel it was right to have a customer have to pay...
