Hello, we have been full-time in our Gateway 3650BH for 3.5 years. It was a great unit until recently. The frame has started separating in several areas, there is a large crack in the sidewall going into the bunkhouse, another crack starting on the opposite side, and the wheels are sticking out...

It looks like you've already received many great options, but I'll just let you know about one more. We use St. Brendans Isle which is also based in Florida. We were already Florida residents before going full time and they made it very easy. https://www.sbimailservice.com

We love our 3650BH! We have 2 kids, ages 12 and 10 and we travel fulltime, so it was important to me for the kids to have their own room and for my husband and me to have our own room. Like someone else said, the king size bed takes up the whole room, so if you don't mind a queen, I might go...

We also just had a stress crack repaired on our Gateway. We travel fulltime and were concerned with how to get this taken care of while on the road. We had plans to return to our hometown in FL for the holidays and since we would be staying with family we could be out of the RV for awhile. We...

Hello, the switch just above the slide switch, is that the Yeti thing that heats the under belly? It's not labeled. It's supposed to get in the 20s here the next couple of nights. Should we have that turned on? Also, we'll be out of our rig for over a week while we spend time with family for...

We are full timing with 2 kids in a Gateway 3650bh. We have only had a few items that needed to be repaired under warranty, but like you said, since we live in it we didn't want to leave it at a dealer while we pay for a hotel. We called Heartland and told them we are full timing. We also travel...

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this post. Feel free to move it if it's not. At the beginning of this year my husband and I and our 2 kids moved into our Heartland Gateway 3650BH to travel the country full-time. So far, it has been the adventure of a lifetime. I just...

Hello, does anyone know what the Awning/Recept switch is for? In the picture it's the one in the upper left corner. The Awning Retract/Extend is used to put the awning out and in, but we can't figure out what this other Awning/Recept is for. Thanks!

Hi, we have the 3650bh. The kitchen sink and second bath sink fill up grey #2. And the second bathroom toilet is black 2. The front bathroom goes to grey and black 1. Hope this helps!

We have a Gateway 3650bh and love it! We are full timing in it with kids and travel about every week. We've only had it for a little over 2 months now but so far so good. After delivery we had some minor issues that the dealer took care of. Now we have a couple more minor issues but aren't quite...

Hello, if the original poster sees this, would you mind posting an update on your delivery experience and overall experience with your RV so far? We are taking delivery on our new 3650bh tomorrow. Very excited! Just made a checklist from this post so we know what to look for. I hope you are...

We are doing the same thing! Went from tent camping to popup to travel trailer and now taking delivery on a 3650bh in a few weeks. Glad you received such great responses on here, I'll be taking this advice when we do our walk through. Please post back when you get a chance and let us know how...

Congratulations! We just ordered the same one and it should be in early December. I can't wait! I would love to hear more of your feedback after you've had a chance to use it some. Also would welcome any advice for when we pick it up besides what you've already mentioned. Enjoy your new rig!

Oops, just realized I posted this in the wrong forum, meant to post under Gateway. Moderator, will you please move this? Thank you.

Hello, we just ordered a new 3650bh and we're very excited! I'm a little concerned though about what kind of tires are coming with it. Are they still putting towmax on these? I've heard horrible things about the blowouts some have experienced. Are we going to need to replace the tires as soon as...

I can't weigh in on whether or not I've had to get a screen door adjustment on a Cyclone because I don't have one. Had a screen door on the Cougar we just sold though and never needed it adjusted. Placed an order a couple of weeks ago for a Cyclone but just canceled it when I found out there...

Re: No more screen doors? Thanks for sharing the video. It helps to see what this looks like. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I still would prefer a real screen door, but this looks like the opening is bigger than what I was thinking. I hope when the factory weighs in on this...

No more screen doors? Can someone please tell me why Heartland is no longer including screen doors on the Cyclone? From what I hear the main doors now only have a little screen in the window which means you have to leave the door closed all the time. I don't know if this would bother anyone...

I am so glad you shared this info. We just ordered a 4100 and I called the dealer to make sure we will get screen doors. At first he said of course we would not realizing Heartland had changed it. After talking with the rep he found out they really don't come with screen doors anymore. Crazy...

Thanks again everyone, and scottyb, my husband said he likes the way you think. :-)

Thanks for all this helpful input. I see what you mean about the tv's, they are over-priced. And I had originally included the Aux Fuel Cell because of another post where I read they were glad to have that when their tow vehicle was about out of gas and were able to gas up from that...

Hello all, I am very excited that we are ordering a new 4100 this Friday. I am thankful to everyone on this forum, it's been very helpful to read all the posts here. Before we order, I would like some input on the options we're ordering and whether or not I'm missing anything. These are the...

Thanks for the feedback. Please forgive my dumb questions, but what does IIRC mean? And what does it mean when the AC is ducted? I was wondering about the delivery in January issue. Why is that a problem? Is it because it will get dirty, or is there a more serious issue? Just wondering because...

Thanks for the reminder about the tires! I have read on here all the complaints about the blowmax tires that come standard. Makes me wonder why Heartland would continue to use these tires when there have been so many complaints about them. And we definitely want the 3rd AC. We don't have the...

Thank you all for the answers and advice. I love this forum, everyone is so helpful! It sounds like we should consider trying to get it this fall rather than wait until a delivery in January. Not sure if we can do that or not. One of the biggest problems would be we have no place to keep it...

Hello, we are planning to sell our house and purchase a Cyclone 4100 to live in and travel around the country. I have a few questions before we go forward with it. Although we plan to mostly follow the warmer climates throughout the year, at some point we do want to spend some time in Colorado...

Thanks for the feedback. We currently have a travel trailer and have not had any trouble with theft. It seems most campers are pretty good people. Glad to hear we won't have to close up the patio very often once we get a Cyclone.

Is is safe to leave down while you're away from the campsite? I mean, would it be easy for someone to break in that way? I have heard a little about the 3 season wall/doors, but not sure how secure it is, and we don't have a dog that would be back there. Thanks for the help!

Hello, I'm curious about the 4100 rear patio. Can that be left open most of the time, or does it need to be closed up during the night, when it rains, or when you will not be hanging around the campsite?

Hello, I would love to hear feedback from anyone that may own a 4200. Pictures would be great too. If anyone here has this model, please share the things you like or don't like. Also, is the loft the same size as the 4100 loft? It looks like both of our kids could fit in the 4100 loft, but I...

Thanks again everyone! This is a really hard choice! I'm so torn between a bunk house or toy hauler. We really love the Cyclone! At least we have some time to decide. We're not hitting the road full time until January.

Thanks for the replies! If we decide to go with a bunk house, that Gateway looks very nice. At this point I think we're leaning towards a toy hauler. I see what you mean about not having a table to all eat dinner at or play games, but I think we would just use the table in the garage for that...

Hello, we are planning to sell our house and travel in an RV for a couple of years or longer possibly. We have 2 kids and we homeschool. My husband and I both work remotely so we'll be taking our jobs on the road as well. My question is, what are the best 5th wheels for full time use? We really...

Hello, we are looking into purchasing a Cyclone for full timing and homeschooling. We need to sell our house first, but hope to be full time by the first of the year. I would like to suggest you also look at fulltimefamilies.com and their Facebook page too. In researching this lifestyle for our...
