    No keys???!!!!

    I recently ordered and received new baggage compartment locking handles from Heartland. I took them in to be installed today. Imagine my shock when I found that they had sent me 4 locking handles but NO keys! When I called Heartland, after being hung up on and having to call back, I was told...

    Beeping refrigerator

    Hi, my refrigerator was working fine on propane, auto setting, until late this morning. Now it is beeping at me and showing “L1” then “op” on the display. Propane level is fine, doors are all shut. I believe it is a Norcold. My RV is a 2115 Cyclone 4114. Thanks!

    Slides slipping!

    Hi All! Staying tonight at 7 Feathers! You are all right, it is beautiful and staff is great! So, my issue...as I am driving down the highway, when negotiating curvy parts of the highway, both the kitchen and living room slides in my 2015 Cyclone 4114 start sliding open, starting at the bottom...

    Anderson valve vs water pump mystery

    Okay, this is a puzzle. My Cyclone went to the RV repair place many months ago and has been in and out. In the process, for some unknown reason, tech felt it necessary to run the water pump. It was not on the list I left so I don't know why. When I got it back, the pump now runs non stop when...

    "Locked" out of bedroom!

    I can't get in my bedroom!:confused: The handle will turn but is much harder to turn than normal and it does not feel like it is turning anything in the mechanism. Door is shut tight! I am more than willing to take the handle off but have no idea how to do so! And, of course, it is after 5 pm...

    Camping in AZ

    Hi! I am considering coming down to stay in AZ next winter, probably from the end of November to the end of Feb or March, whenever it starts warming up at which point I will flee back to WA! LOL I am looking to be in the Coolidge, Casa Grande areas so as to have easy access to dog training...

    Lost dog

    This is a link to a very good how to when your dog has become lost! To make it even more RV/camping specific, change "show" to "campground" and it will apply! If you can't get facebook, let me know and I will copy and paste it...

    Connecting to cable

    Hi! I am trying cable for the first time as I got fed up with DISH! However, I am having nothing but problems figuring out the wire hook ups! As I look at the living room TV, to my left, there is a panel where the 3 colored - red, yellow and white- wires hook up. I got those! Below that is...

    And the beat goes on...

    You guys are NOT going to believe this! As I was westbound in Kansas City, MO, merging onto 670, two truck drivers started honking and flagging me down. One of them was able to tell me that one of my tires on my trailer had come OFF! A passing tow truck driver got me to a large parking...

    Sticky or stuck ramp!

    Hi everyone! I am having a challenge opening the ramp on my Cyclone to the garage. It seems like it is sticking on something but I cannot see what. If someone pushes from the inside while I am pulling outside, it will open but, as an "independent" traveler, I don't always have help...

    Abby

    My beloved Abby - BOSS Ch Absolut vom Adeligen CD, RE, HIAs, HSAsd, BH, AD - got injured about a month and a half ago by falling in a hole. She had been seen by a vet several times and on meds but she really was not doing well. She pretty much could not walk at all, could not get up on her...

    Mystery!

    How in the world could this have happened??? While at the Goshen Rally, I bought a new Reese hitch, rated for 25K. Yesterday, I hooked up, verified jaws were closed with a flashlight as I always do, locked them then backed out of my space at the dog show and pulled about 1/2 mile to the exit...

    Strange awning behavior

    Hi - I put my awning out this morning when all was peaceful and quiet here in Laramie, WY. A bit of a breeze kicked up while I was taking a nap. Nothing appeared amiss when I went to roll up the awning except the awning rolled up inside out! Does this indicate something is badly wrong? Can I...

    Need CG ideas near Carson City, NV

    Hi All! New challenge. The American Rottweiler Club Nationals are to be held in Carson City, NV in May. They offer RV parking at Fiji Park, the site of the show, and the plan was to have septic trucks available twice while we were there to pump RV tanks. Well, not so much. The club just found...

    Merced, Ca to Gardnerville, Nv

    Anyone have suggestions for a reasonably NON-scanty route? The ones Mapquest is suggesting have warnings for no trucks or other large vehicles! As a reminder, single traveler with aCyclone 4114, only a year experience driving and 5 months of that I have been mostly parked! Thanks!

    Furnace will not work off of left propane tank

    I know, I know, I should have posted here first! But, after almost $900 in "repair" costs, my furnace will still not work off the left propane tank! It works fine off the right tank but, even when the left tank is confirmed full, the regulator shows it is full, the furnace runs but it is not...

    New baby coming!

    Meet Fast Freddy! He is 8 weeks old in these photos. I get to go pick him up in Louisville, KY on January 9, returning on January 10th! Can hardly wait! 14 months without a Scottie to keep Rotties in check is too long! LOL

    Apparent mini Heartland Rally in Delhi, CA!

    I am currently staying at the Merced River RV Resort in Delhi, CA while I train Boomer. As I was walking the hounds around, I realized there are currently 3 Cyclones, 2 Big Horns, a Landmark and a North Country in the park! Have only greeted the owner of the Landmark and the North Country as I...

    Another reading light problem

    Hi! I have one reading light that is flickering, the other is fine. It either flickers or it doesn't after being turned on; it does not flicker for a while then stop. What could it be? Thanks!

    Range top burner lighting

    Hi - when I dropped my Cyclone off for service, I could light my burners on my stovetop just by turning the control to "Lite", it would click 3 or 4 times and automatically light. Now that I have it back, it no longer automatically lights and I have to light the burner manually. What do I need...

    Update on the Rotten dogs

    Boomer recently passed 3 of 4 health clearances (scheduled for the 4th - heart - in August at a dog show to reduce cost, $175 vs almost $600!) with excellent hips, normal elbows and normal eyes! To celebrate, his training has stepped up to include jumping, more conditioning and carting! Here...

    Microwave and electrical

    Hi! I am having a GREAT time in my 2015 Cyclone 4114! Have run into a little problem. After dry camping for a few weeks, I am now at a 30 amp site. I have been at 30 amp sites previously without a problem. However, this stop, if I run my microwave, all my power that is not on the batteries...

    Are the Bighorns swarming?

    I am quite sure there is a not so secret Bighorn invasion going on lately! I picked my Cyclone up in Idaho the 13th of May from some repair. On the way to WA, I saw 2 Bighorns in ID, heading eastbound on I-84. Every day, and I mean EVERY DAY, since then, I have seen Bighorns either on the road...

    Merced, CA to Boise, ID

    Hi All! After having a BLAST training Boomer with one of the PREMIER dog trainers in the US in Delhi, CA for 2 weeks, I am heading out on Saturday to Boise, ID. My planned route is 99 to 80 to 95 in Nevada and up to 55 and 84 into Boise. 95 looks a little scary to this novice... Any input...

    Living room conversion in 4114

    Yes, I recently (August,2015) got my 4114 and am ready to modify the living room already! The 11' couch is pretty much useless for me; Boomer, not so much, as he likes to look out the windows! So, I am scheduled in April to have the couch pulled. I am then going to put a 4' triangular desk in...

    For those with big dogs

    Hi! I have had 2 dog crates built behind the seats of my GMC Sierra pick up after taking the back seat out. They are still pretty small for my Rotties. Boomer seems to be fine but Abby, a month away from being 12 years old!, is really too stiff to be comfortable. So, for those that have big...

    Is this even reasonable?

    Hi - I have a friend in eastern WI around Freedom, WI who needs a house sitter from March until May. Is there any chance I can take my Cyclone 4114 from the Seattle, WA area to eastern WI in March? I am willing to go south then back north if that would work better. Remember, I am a total...

    Boomer is growing up!

    Thought you guys would enjoy seeing a picture of Boomer from September; he is even thicker now but not a lot... And the good news is that since I am now "retired", I have him enrolled in obedience and conformation classes. We both love them!

    BIG leap!

    Well, I did it! My last day of work will be 12/2. Won't be on the road until the house sells - it got listed 3 weeks ago and last week started getting some return shoppers! - but I can now concentrate on getting the Cyclone set up and the detached garage emptied! I have been living in the...

    Satellite TV question - CY 4114

    Hi All! I am incorporating more and more of the systems in my RV as I am learning about it. Today's question: I have attached my Winegard Pathway X1 to the Sat in in the UDC that is for "TV1". I am guessing that the default "TV1" is the living room TV. I would like to make the TV1 the bedroom...

    Bighorn in Seattle

    Hi All! Just wanted to let you know I was northbound on I-5 yesterday around 8:15 am (enroute to the vet for Buster; not good news), between 520 and the Northgate Mall and saw a southbound Bighorn! Could not see the TV... Whomever it was, safe journeys! On a light note at the vets', Boomer...

    (yeah, I know, should be "timing") Hi guys! I have been very busy beginning cleaning out my house and garages to prepare for going full time. I have a couple of questions/solicitations for some ideas. Do you set up an area as an office? How? How long a sewer pipe is long enough? I am mostly...

    Retro fit 6 point leveling system

    Hi - I am working really hard on buying my Road Warrior. The dealer I am talking to recommends the Bigfoot 6 point leveling system. They are in Florida. So they are now thinking it might be better, as I am in Seattle, to have it done here so any problems can be addressed if necessary. The...

    6 point self leveler vs "manual"

    Hi - I am comparing 2 Road Warrior 310's. One has 6 point hydraulic self leveler, the other has hydraulic and electric jacks. I will be RV'ing solo. Each dealer highly recommends what is on their trailer but I have to admit, the self leveler makes sense to this first timer! There are some...

    2015 Heartland Rv Road Warrior 310RW Patio kits

    Hi - I found this RW that does not currently have a patio kit. When I checked with the dealer, he said that while they could put on the cables to make the ramp horizontal, the side gates could not be applied because the ramp was "different". Does that make any sense or is he mistaken and a...

    310 RW or 310 RT
