To all you RVers who camp in cold weather (30's and below) with an LP generator, do you have any tricks to keep it running when your propane tanks get below half full? We have a 5500 Onan LPG generator that runs like a champ if the temp is above the upper 30's. When it's 35 or below it won't...

We highly recommend Tony's RV Repair and Service in the Columbia, SC, area (tonysrv.com). We have had numerous problems with our 2012 Landmark Grand Canyon (99% were with components, not Heartland's work). Discovered Tony's early in the game and have driven many miles out of our way to have...

Thanks for the info on golf cart batteries. That definitely sounds like the way to go. What brands would you recommend? Are there any brands you'd stay away from? Our internet research tonight indicates the Trojan T-105 would be a good choice but the nearest dealer is a 160 mile round trip...

In Feb. we replaced the very poor stock battery on our new 3210 with an Optima D34M AGM battery. It has now gone dead for the 2nd time and will not take a charge. Optima tells us it probably has a dead cell and will have to be replaced. At the time we bought it we understood it was a deep...

Regarding the return shipping cost, the warranty does indeed specify that it is the customer's responsibility for certain models. Unfortunately, the 27" TV in the 3210 is one of these models. We did not contact the dealer first because we knew they'd tell us to call the customer service number...

I looked everywhere on NCDOT's website for this information and found absolutely nothing. I finally emailed them using the contact information on this web page: http://www.ncdot.org/dmv/contact/ They responded promptly to my original request for information and to every subsequent email...

When registering a tow vehicle in NC, beware what you are charged for your license tag. It is unbelievably difficult to find out the truth about how much weight you need to pay for on your tow vehicle's tag. When we registered our Cyclone, the tag office clerk insisted we had to pay for 100%...

Heartland Rankings When we were researching which toy hauler to buy (Jan. 2008), we fortunately bought a copy of the 2007-2008 RV Comparison Guide from the website www.jrconsumer.com. Heartland's 5ers were tied for first with Americamp in the AA (Above Average) class. (Other two classes are...

Thanks for your very helpful reply. I called Olevia back and told them what happened in your case. Neither of the people I'd talked to previously had thought to tell me that this was an option. By having them do an "advance replacement" we will have the packing materials needed to return the...

The Olevia 27" LCD HDTV in our new 3210 died after only 20 days of use. (Loud cracking noise, then nothing.) Contrary to what is implied on Olevia's warranty card, they have only one service center for the entire country and it's located as far from us as it can get (NC to Los Angeles). Of...

Our new 3210 has both handle and dead bolt keyed the same. Regarding the deadbolt, I don't know if the "bump lock" issue applies to RV's as it does to houses, but a post early in this thread about a house with locked doors being entered by a workman who supposedly had a "master system key"...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Everything we've looked at (PitPal, Play-Mor, etc.) has been way too expensive - $400 and up total. We were hoping to buy or create something that would stay attached to the door and floor so we didn't have to keep moving parts around, but after seeing...

We did a lot of research in trying to match up a truck and toy hauler before buying either. A big help was getting a comprehensive Silverado HD brochure from our dealer along with a thorough explanation of how to figure what weight you can tow (which means understanding the very small print)...

Thanks for the link to Play-Mor. I've emailed them to see if they can help. Another idea, thanks to Lowe's website, is a 34" x 8" aluminum kick plate (for a door) for $20. Since we only need about 3' in length to roll our stands over, the kick plate might work. It's also probably a lot...

Thanks for the diamond plate suggestion. We'll definitely check it out. The local Jayco dealer said he couldn't order these parts - maybe just didn't want to be bothered. Val

We recently talked to experienced RVers about plastic levelling blocks and were told they cracked after about six months of use. Did not ask if these were the expensive Lynx blocks or the other cheaper brand we've seen. Either way, they're too expensive to have to replace often, even once a...

Thanks for the suggestion. We're trying to get away from having any more loose items to manage but may have to go with something like a wheelchair transition ramp. Here's a picture of the Octane with its ramp door open - http://www.jayco.com/php/products/standards.php?id=157 The...

Beaver tails are metal (probably aluminum) pieces which are attached to the ramp door and floor. We haven't measured any but they would have to be around 8" by the width of the ramp door to cover the gap. (We need only 8" x 3'.) They eliminate having to lift equipment up onto the ramp door at...

Because we roll fairly heavy non-motorized equipment into the garage, we are in dire need of beaver tails for the ramp door on our 3210 - for both the end that touches the ground and the hinge end to cover the gap into the trailer. We doubt Heartland makes beaver tails as none of the toy...

The outside ladder on my 3210 is too long to store in the garage area unless it is put in diagonally. When cargo is in the garage, this isn't possible so I can't carry the ladder with me. Has Heartland considered making this ladder in two pieces so it can be easily stowed in the garage...

By trial and error we finally got the problem solved and everything is working right. There's nothing in the manual about what the UDC valves are for or which way they should be turned. In case any other new owners run into this problem (experienced owners correct me if I'm wrong), the right...

After I got the city water going (thanks to the valve suggestions), I turned the valve back to tank water. The pump won't work and there's no water coming through the faucets at all, no matter how long I leave them open. There's a pump switch in the docking station which does work but all that...

Thanks to both of you for your valve suggestions, I now have city water working. There are two water petcocks in the docking station, neither of which is marked in any way. I determined which one went to the city water and, after opening a value under the kitchen sink which I didn't realize...

I picked up a new Cyclone 3210 ten days ago - my first RV so I'm completely inexperienced at this. I'm working the bugs out in my driveway before leaving taking it on a business trip in 3 days. The water system was working fine until a couple of hours ago when it just quit. No water is...
