    Ventless Dryer Combo

    I have a splendid 7100xc, the same model you are asking about. Yes it does take longer to dry, and yes it works best with smaller loads, but once you figure out the few quirks it works great. We full-time, so it does get used daily, sometimes multiple times a day. When it comes to washing...

    Moving to Detroit . . .

    Not that bad! I guess its all relative to what you are used to. Me, you wouldn't catch me dead there. Any place I can't exercise my 2nd amendment right freely, is a no go for me. Tell your son thank you for his service. My prayers go out to you and your family.

    Trailer brakes disconnected

    +1 on electrical issue. Could be anywhere from a bad ground on the trailer to short in the wiring. My experience with issues such as this is a major pain in the butt. I usually end up replacing complete wiring harness. In your case this might be a bit expensive.

    Hydrolic landing gear issue?

    I too like many others have this problem. My question is which 80 amp breaker are they replacing it with. I have searched all over, but can not find the same like kind breaker in a 80 amp. I can find 50 amps all day long that look identical, but all the 80 amps i keep finding look much different.

    Big Country MSRP

    A good rule of thumb is 30-34% off. Most people i know that walk away with a smoking deal is the 33-34% off range. This may vary on line up and year model. What i have seen is some dealerships creating their own MSRP and then working down from that. Be careful with these dealers as there are...

    Air Lift Install Option

    I too didn't think of that. What a simple way to install. My setup looks very similar to the pic. I do have the wireless compressor also. Works pretty well, although my first compressor went bad after 3 months. Airlift stood behind their product and overnighted me another one. So far so...

    Landmark Condition After 3 Years of Full Timing

    Glad to hear how well they are holding up. We are 6 months into full timing in our 2016 4200 Cyclone. I honestly have not noticed any wear related to full timing. I hope to have as good as results as you guys.

    Wheel Chocks - The Real Deal

    Don't know why exactly but I've always been a X chock guy. I feel that is not only chocks the wheels but when snugged up takes a bit of bounce out of the RV. Even with the 6 point auto level I still use them.

    Fuel tank

    +1 RDS 60 gallon Aux Transfer Tank. Now I roll with 96 gallons. Sure is nice not having to worry about fuel.

    Diesel exhaust fluid

    Here in Tx i have never heard of anyone getting pulled over for emissions or once pulled over even questioned about emissions. I'm sure there is an exception to every rule, but for every person I know with a current model diesel truck (and I know a bunch) over 50% of them are deleted. It's...

    Will All Road Warriors Please Stand Up! Represent Your Warrior!

    I just recently had a new roof installed back in July due to low tree limb in roadway. The extra material he is talking about is lauan plywood. They do this because when the old roof in removed it can cause splintering of the old plywood its connected to. The new lauan sheets are placed over...

    Thumbs up Heartland!

    Same staining on ours. However every 3 months I hire a local detail company and it all comes off. Not sure what they use, but next time I will ask them. I also have them apply the Roof UV protector every 3 months.

    Who uses a V-6 to tow? I use a 4.0L to tow an M22

    I would love to get 9 mpg. I get more like 6-7.5 mpg. Even with that low of mpg still no complaints.

    Trip overnight stops

    +1 on the truck stops. We will be staying at a Flying J this evening on our way to LA. We have also stayed at some of the big retail parking lots. We have never been run out or asked to leave.

    Diesel exhaust fluid

    Its actually a magnetic collar that fits over the fill pump nozzle. Once you have one of these then the best place to get DEF is at the pump at a truck stop. Its always fresh and much cheaper $2.69 a gallon. Or spend you about $1500 and improve the life and performance of your TV with a...

    2016 Cyclone 4250 Triple AC units

    Also, you can have an electrician balance out the load panel and run all 3 ac's at the same time. This can only be done while on shore power though. When using the generator you will still be only able to run any 2 since that's all it can handle. With all 3 ac's working together the unit stays...

    Bighorn Sailun tires

    Mine have worn the same, but as stated earlier believe this to be normal. My brother in law went to replace his e rated tires on his SOB with Sailuns, but could not find any for sale. Anyone else have any luck with finding any?

    2016 BC Front cap chipping

    It still more than likely rock chips, possibly from other vehicles in front of you (same way the front of our vehicles get chipped). I know that bug guts when dried are very acidic and cause the stickers to fade or discolor, but not the paint.

    2016 BC Front cap chipping

    I have the same issue on my 2016 Cylcone 4200. Made in May of 2015. I just purchased touch up paint and took care of it.

    Cyclone loading ramp failure

    I have had my cyclone 4200 for 15 months and I am already on my 3rd side patio door. Lippert needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to seal them properly.

    13 feet 3 inches of tree tearing height

    Just had the same happen to my 4200 this summer. 44' roof cost $12,200 to replace. I would use a service only shop.

    Unlimited 4G at $69 a Month?

    I have T-mobile with unlimited data. I then tether from my phone to my firestick and can watch shows via my tv. I also sometimes use the HDMI adapter from my Iphone to the tv. Both work great.

    Cyclone 4200

    Just make sure you give the extra distance for braking. That's really where the 3/4 ton trucks fall short. I am assuming that you will be hauling it dry. If so then yes just take it easy and you will be fine. I wouldn't recommend it though if its you daily TV for the 4200.

    Cell & Wi-Fi Booster(s). Do we need both?

    The wifi booster has worked well for us so far. We went from not being able to use the wifi provided at our RV park, to now being able to stream movies via our firestick. I figured i would go this route first since there is no monthly fee. The initial setup was a bit confusing, but called...

    Cell & Wi-Fi Booster(s). Do we need both?

    I just ordered the wifionsteroids.com wifi booster. It just plugs into a 110 outlet and boosts the signal. I will pass along my experience once it comes in. Reason I chose this over others is there is no chords to plug in or run from outside in. Fairly inexpensive at $70.

    Ramp Door failure & Rot on Toy Hauler. Photos of Lippert door Construction

    My only thought for the outside would be to silicone (caulk) all the seems really good. It amazes me that they still have not perfected some type of sealant process. One would think that they could somehow dip/spray the wood in some type of sealant before install. Who knows. I guess the...

    Cleaning Garage Floor in Toy Hauler?

    Yes the swiffer wet jet gets between the diamond plated bumps. I haven't gotten mine really dirty though. I would be careful with using water hose or sprayer. Who knows how sealed the floor really are. You would think they would be good and sealed due to their designed application, but some...

    Cleaning Garage Floor in Toy Hauler?

    Extra payload with 3500HD Duramax

    Re: Finally Extra payload with 3500HD Duramax Is the DEF fill still under the hood on the new truck? That's the only reason I did not go with a GM/Chevy truck.

    Shakedown run....

    I think sometimes people come across as scolding and trying teach people lessons when they recommend tow vehicles. I have been guilty of this myself all though it was never my intention. What most people are trying to say is they have been there and done that and are trying to pass down free...

    Anyone see the new 4005 floorplan?

    I second the frameless windows. I love my 4200 cyclone, but for what is called the industry leader its kind of sad its not standard. Just my 2 cents.

    Ramp Door failure & Rot on Toy Hauler. Photos of Lippert door Construction

    I'm in the process of having my 2nd patio door replaced under warranty. Mine is the side patio not the rear, but same build quality. First one had stress cracks in corner from day one, second one has lasted 3 months before water damage and soft spots. When the new door comes in its going to...

    Cyclone 4250

    I'm 36 and will never drive anything but a dually. My reasons are not only for the towing/safety aspect, but for the entire safety of everyday driving. Some people say its way more than you need and they are probably right, but when I spend $50K or more on a truck whats a few more thousand for...

    4200 side patio issues

    I guess I spoke to soon. After 3 months with the new patio door we noticed the floor is bowing up in the middle. When walking on it, it gives, from what must be water damage. I did contact Lippert directly since I am now out of warranty thru Heartland, and they informed me the new door has a...

    EPDM vs TPO Roof

    I just had a roof replaced on my cyclone 4200. It was a 44' roof job that had 3 small holes from where a tree limb overhanging into the road rubbed it. I too did not think my insurance company would approve a new roof, but they surprised me and approved over $12,000 for full replacement. I...
