    Storing patio steps?

    I may have to try mounting this to the ramp door, once I am out of warranty...

    ATF: Cyclone - satelite connection

    I just learned this handy little fact the other day. In the master bedroom, check the cable outlet, there is a little black switch, connected to a red LED. This switch is for the antennae booster, and if it's on an external signal won't work.

    Storing patio steps?

    Any chance Heartland would consider adding a boat style retractable ladder/steps permenantly attached to the ramp door?

    4250 - improved under bed storage

    We've had our 4250 for a year now, and had no idea the drawer was there. Not as much room as the lifting platform, but already being put to good use.

    Storing patio steps?

    I'll be honest most of the time we have the rear patio setup, so the steps are in use. This trip however, we are in beteween houses. We sold the last house in seven days, and the new one wasn't ready quite yet, so 10 days in the RV is better than a hotel. Needless to say, we have a TON of...

    Storing patio steps?

    I know this group will have creative ideas, so I am looking for help. We have '17 4250 and while I love the patio stairs, I hate storing them in the middle of the garage floor. Any ideas for alternate storage solutions? Can they be wall mounted, stored under the camper, bolted to the outside...

    2016 Cyclone 4250 kitchen water faucet

    Any tips or tricks to share? Apparently the faucet traps water in the neck, and shame on me for not opening the valve when draining my tanks. It really wasn't that cold of a winter, but cold enough and enough water the faucet broke clean at the base...

    2016 Cyclone 4250 Triple AC units

    That's what I thought, thank you for confirming. So given that I have the power controller my AC units should be independent correct? The reason I ask is that we have three thermostats, one per unit. The master bedroom AC stays on no matter what temperature we set. Honestly, I haven't had...

    2016 Cyclone 4250 Triple AC units

    Question for those of you with the selector switch on your 4250. Where is the switch located? We have a 2017 4250, and I think Heartland changed the selector switch to a Power Control System. If you have the selector switch do you also have an LED readout?

    backup cameras

    It's prewired from the factory for the Furrion camera, with power cable and mounting bracket. So I don't think it's an installation issue. I think it has to do more with the construction of Toy Haulers vs Regular 5ers. Replacing the antenna was the recommendation from Furrion due to...

    backup cameras

    That's the same unit I bought, and it won't connect from the cab of my truck to the camera. It's a common issue with large toy haulers. My 4250 is 43' 6", pulled behind a Megacab Ram 3500 DRW, that's a lot of aluminum between the camera and display.

    13 feet 3 inches of tree tearing height

    $40 for a gallon of flex seal, heck if it can turn a screen door into a boat it should be able to seal an RV roof! Just kidding, and I don't mean to make light of your situation, but if you need a temporary fix before a shop can get to it, it might be an option.

    "Camera ready" statement on 2016 Cyclone ads

    Thank you for posting the pics! I picked up a high gain antennae for use with my Furrion after it wouldn't make the connection from the 4250 to my Ram. I will admit I'm an IT guy, but I was debating on where to mount the antenna, the receiver, or the camera. Very happy to hear it works on the...

    backup cameras

    I can't remember the exact Furrion model I purchased from Amazon, but it was plug and play into my Cyclone 4250. There is a separate monitor that plugs in via cigarette adapter in the cab of your vehicle. The camera is connected wirelessly to the monitor. Even though my unit claimed it was...

    2017 Cyclone 425

    I thought that initially as well, however, if I had high hitched wouldn't it have pulled loose when I locked the trailer brakes and pulled forward in my truck? - - - Updated - - - I got a new Demco 21K Auto slider installed on Tuesday. That is seriously a beast of a hitch. Anyway, I was able...

    2017 Cyclone 425

    Thank you for pointing out that thread. My installer showed me specifically how to adjust the tension on the Autoglide as well as all the places to lube before each use. From reading some of the comments I don't think the thread op has adjusted the tension, nor applied any lube/grease/lithium...

    Demco 21k auto slider hitch noises when turning normal...?

    I just had a Demco 21k Autoslide installed this afternoon. I had a Pro Series 20k which grenaded and dropped my trailer onto the bed of my truck while pulling out of our first campground. I am going to get my camper tomorrow, so I will share my experience with the Demco. So far I am very...

    You ou are Awesome! Thank you for sharing this with me! It's not just clear coat, but the gel coat was taken out down to the metal underneath. Granted it was only a couple of small places, and the coroplast (?) has a one very nice impression that matches my truck bed rails. But the paint...

    2017 Cyclone 425

    Well we had an awesome weekend camping, at least until we packed up to leave. I managed to pull out from the concrete pad, and make it about 50' down the road. All of the sudden my Pro Series 20K hitch decided it was tired and let go of my Cyclone. Well after feeling a huge jerk, a loud boom...

    SOLVED: Cyclone 4250 3d AC not starting

    Hi, We are on our maiden voyage with a 2017 Cyclone 4250. We have three AC units, one in bedroom, one in main living, and one in the garage. I can not get the third AC in the garage to come on. According to the "Power Control System" all three units are powered and we have solid 50amp...

    2017 Cyclone 425

    Thanks everyone! The full body paint sealed the deal for us and made the Cyclone a much easier choice over the Momentum. We pick her up Thursday, and Friday we are heading out to Cooper Lake State Park for the initial outage. Do we christen RV's on their maiden voyage with a bottle of...

    First Heartland, First Camper!

    Thanks everyone! We already have a campground spot reserved for next weekend. Unfortunately, we did this too late to get a spot for Labor Day weekend, but since that's college football kick off and I don't have a portable directv dish yet, we'll use the long weekend for stocking and arranging...

    First Heartland, First Camper!

    Not sure why my thread was moved from the Welcome forum to prospective owners. I wrote the dealer a check, paid tax, title, and license fees, and went into long term debt, I even have a VIN, I just haven't taken delivery yet.

    First Heartland, First Camper!

    Well after two years of dealing with unexpected downsizing, a 5 state move, research, half a dozen RV shows, and an incredible amount of free advice from family and friends we are now RVers! We signed the paperwork yesterday on a 2017 Cyclone 4250. We don't have our delivery date yet, but I am...
