    Caulking and Water Proofing Compartment Doors and Windows

    So, I researched all the past threads and now have some serious questions to poll you folks on: I need to replace my two basement doors. Do I use Proflex or Sikaflex 505 UV for my outside caulk? Do I use butyl tape on the inside edges of the doors as I install them? I also need to replace my...

    Another 2009 Cyclone Frame bites the dust

    Just after we purchased our 2009 3950 I saw posts on this forum discussing cracks and failure of the Lippert frame in the area of the pin box. I was mortified and constantly checked for potential issues with our unit. All was well until this summer. After arriving in Maine with the camper I...

    I want a Landmark Toy Hauler

    OK Heartland, I have kicked the tires on other brands, repaired my Cyclone 3950 by myself, but still want another Heartland. Either I need an increase in my medication or you need to build me something. I want a Landmark Toy Hauler. Put together a well appointed toy hauler, with a touch of...

    Outside Cabinet Doors dry rot maybe?!

    This morning as I opened the basement door on the driver's side (ODS) the piston that holds the door came crashing down as well as the door that hit me in the back of the head. The seven screws that hold the plate for the piston had pulled out of the door. I made a temporary fix by simply...

    Interior Walls coming loose?!

    Gentlemen, Have you had a problem with the interior walls (garage to interior walls) between the 2nd bathroom and the area next to the dinette coming loose? My medicine cabinet and the wall it is mounted on are flopping in the breeze in the garage. The wall in the living area in the corner...

    Boat-N-RV

    Is the New York based Boat-n-RV still a Heartland Dealer? I had heard that Heartland was not exactly happy with their performance and that Heartland had actually gone to speak with another dealer in the area to see if they wanted the product line. I now notice that Boat-n-RV only has one (1)...

    Slide Floor De-lamination

    Over the past couple of months I have noticed a "wavy" appearance to the bottom of our large living room slide. I thought nothing of it as we have been too busy to go camping and did not have time to take a closer look. I discovered that the plywood that makes up the bottom of our slide is...

    Kitchen slide bottom panel...flopping in the breeze

    So during our trip to Myrtle Beach this April I notice in the mirror that the driver's side mid coach marker light appears to be vibrating while we drive. I think it must be my imagination. At our first stop in PA for fuel I get a good look and discover that the bottom, tin panel on the kitchen...

    Headed to Ocean Lakes, SC

    Our annual trip to SC will begin on April 4 - arriving at Ocean Lakes on the 5th. We are doing the Rt. 84 to Rt. 81 to Rt.66 to Rt. 17 and onto I95. We will be in one of three sites 3004, 3008 or 3009 - depending on what my brother and our friend want out of the three. We have the 3950 and the...

    The way plumbing should look

    We have all had the experiance of looking behind the wall in the basements of our trailers and finding a rat's nest of PEX tubing running to our fixtures. To say that Heartland's work behind there has a lot to be desired. So recently while at a regional RV show I had the chance to climb into the...

    3950 Rear Bathroom Water

    OK, so when I am boondocking, how do I get more than a dribble of water to come out of the rear bathroom faucets? The pump appears to not be able to keep up? What is up with this? Thanks, FJ

    Garage Heat

    Hey, Am I missing something here? I understand why there might not be any floor vents in the garage area for heat (flammable vapors and all). However, why are there not at least one heat vent in the rear wall, perhaps just above the hold open for the door, to the right of the rear bathroom...

    Use of wasted space

    I have misc. items that we carry that always get in the way and are hard to put out of the way, yet stay accessable. So my solution was to use the wasted space in the Propane compartments on each side of the rig. The magic of sheetmetal screws, picture/frame hanger brackets, and some velcro...

    Sewer Hose Storage

    So, my original complaint was that the sewer hose compartment on our 3950 was a joke. Yes, the light duty, entry level hose fits in the factory compartment, with only one coupling on. However, when you consider that we need to have two hoses if we want to be on full hookups with both bathrooms...

    Does this look right (slides)?

    Does this slide look seated correctly? It appears to seal OK, it just looks out of sorts. Is this normal? I can live with it, just want to make sure nothing is wrong or out of whack. Thanks! The pain in the butt from NY FJ

    Tank Capacities?

    I looked in the pile of paperwork to no avail. What are the capacities of the gray and black water tanks on the Cyclone 3950? There are three gray and two black running front to rear. Can you list the capacities and which collects what? Obviously the rear two are self explanatory as to water...

    Cyclone 3950 - Would you do it again?

    We currently have a 2006 Sunnybrook 391K SURV and overall love the unit. Problems are minimal and the space is abundant. We have an issue with the layout and have a 2004 30FKS Sunnybrook travel trailer that has to be traded as well. We are interested in the Cyclone 3950 and have an offer from a...
