    Tow rig tires

    another vote for Michelin, we replaced what was on our truck with a set, we rotate them every 5K, we've put around 28K miles on them, and look like we can get another 28K out of them, but we're firm believers of max pressure (truck and RV). Like someone else said, they're pricey but we watched...

    Cyclone vs. Road Warrior or Raptor

    We looked for several years before we decided on our Cyclone, was actually very close to buying a Raptor (both very comparable) each have pros and cons. Raptor you get ceiling fans and what we've seen the last year (ours is turning 4 yrs old), but in our opinion the Raptor has passed the...

    Word Of Warning to All With Larger Dogs

    For what it's worth, a couple years before retiring, I took a report on a fella in the local State campground where he left a large dog inside while he went fishing for the day. His dog had been with him for years without any problems, that day it decided to lunge against a window, broke out a...

    Garage sofa

    Kind of what I thought we'd do, was just curious if anyone had ever bought new coverings/if they were available from the manufacturer/if they had any reupholstered, etc. Thanks.

    Ours was leaking around the body, we replaced it, also replaced the OEM main regulator a few months later. No problem since.

    Garage sofa

    Does anyone know if new coverings can be purchased from Heartland (I see they have a zipper so assume the foam interior can be removed) or has anyone ever had the sofa's recovered? Ours have sorta gotten a bit tattered (shall we say) thanks to a litter of 4 Silver Shaded Persian kittens...

    Riding out a hurricane in an RV?

    Just saw the thread, haven't read the other posts, but YES we did when in PA when whatever it's name was came through a year ago. We were evicted out of our 1000 trails in Hershey (really ticked me off at the time) we went to our job site and they let us set up there. BEST THING EVER HAPPENED...

    sattelite signal finder

    We don't have HD Direct just reg Direct.............wow, is there that much difference? I go to Direct TV website, type in the zip code of the park we're in, and have a 9.00 compass from Bass Pro, our receivers are from home, (no RV package) and our dish is from a friend and on a PVC frame I...

    Larger oven

    Terry, here's a couple pictures of what the outcome was. The only change "cosmetically" was the trim board between the bottom drawer and oven (that's basically invisible anyway) is I had it cut down to 1 and 3/4 inch, and we removed the drawer front from the drawer (stapled on) and moved it...

    Is anyone happy??? I am really afraid we just made a very costly mistake.

    I'm sure everything will work out fine. We have had several issues, but like I said all minor, and it's been a big learning curve for us, we've gotten alot of very useful information from this forum on how to deal with things, and when not sure we make a post and ask, we also have picked up...

    Larger oven

    Terry, we've hit Camping World after camping world, passed up an oven when in TX, but the Camping world in Ft Myers (current location) had 2 on closeout for 50% off plus 10.00 off additional for no owners manual (like we need an owners manual), anyway total cost was 269.00 for the Amana 22"...

    Larger oven

    Curious as to why Heartland continues to put that 16 inch oven in the Cyclones. We noticed that another very popular toyhauler has upgraded to the 22" oven. We purchased a new 22" sealed burner range/oven from camping world at 50% off and installed it in less than 3 hrs, and didn't have to...

    Is anyone happy??? I am really afraid we just made a very costly mistake.

    1st thanks for the service to our country and the support a spouse gives and things they have to deal with as well. Now as for the Cyclone we picked ours up in Dec 2009 (titled as a 2011) Our plans were to travel and winter over down south and be back in Indiana during the summer...

    Seeing Heartlands everywhere

    We just had a new Cyclone HD pull into the campground in Florida. Talked to the owners said it was their maiden voyage, (still had all the stickers in place) they said they just traded in their Class A for the Cyclone. Congratulated them on "moving UP in the world". :)

    Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure?

    Re: Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure Or you could pick up a #14 self tapper and it'll go right up through the frame. We don't have a solid surface either, I ran the bolt through the underbelly board and into the frame, that #14 driller is the exact same size Heartland...

    Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure?

    Re: Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure Well it's only yellow because we haven't made up an OFFICIAL white one :D Originally I had the filter mounted to go straight up into the hole accessing the UDC, it was too hard to work the quick connect fittings so I angled the...

    Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure?

    Re: Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure Hopefully I attached the photos correctly . Here's what we did, and works great for us, it's quick on quick off, and like some others we prefer everything outside and underneath our RV and we try to avoid more totes in the cargo...

    Cleaning window seals

    We've got white seals around the exterior of the windows, (not talking about the wide white border) but the small seal between the glass and border, we've tried everything including small amounts of bleach to get the dark spots off that seal, nothing is working, anyone have any other suggestions?

    Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure?

    Re: Will adding a Water Filtration System Affect Water Pressure We use a whole house filter also, we mount ours to the underbelly on a permanent hanger I installed, it has quick connects for the water hose attachments, we had a problem when the pressure regulator was before the filter, but when...

    Tow Max...is it just me?

    Our Tow Max had somewhere around 25 or 30K on them and would have turned 3 yrs this Dec, we just changed them out for Maxxis 2 months ago before we hit the road again. We never had one issue with the Tow Max, but we check tire pressure before every trip, keep the tires to the max pressure, and...

    bed lift will not raise

    Ours does the same, will go down but not up, I used a small wire and jumped the two pins in the telephone wire of the switch and they go up just fine. Bad switch, new switch on the way but haven't installed it yet to see if that fixes the problem, according to Heartland if the beds work one way...

    How to seal fill tube and crossovers -- All leaking!

    We had the same problem with the crossover hose. I installed a new hose (twice) changed clamps (twice) still had the leak, I ended up putting a small amount of slicone around the bib of both tanks and slide the hose overtop of it and clamped it, let it set over night, filled the tanks no leak...

    Bad SHURflo 5.7?

    We're on our 4th one, and we seldom use the water pump (normally on city water hookup) we bought one, we turn ours on a few times just before the warranty expires and that pretty much knocks it out, we send in the label, to replace the spare "replacement" we carry in the cargo hold. JUNK. When...

    Mirrored Windows

    Hopefully this is the right place, but why did they do away with the mirrored windows? We've got them on our 2011 3612 and love them, our friends 2013 3612 he was told they no longer do that. Everyplace we go we get very positive comments on the windows. We've also noticed that there is a big...

    Jacking at Axle

    I know this subject comes up about jacking from the frame vs axle, owners manuel says frame, dexter manuel says frame, we took the Cyclone in for a new set of tires last week. They came out and looked at the suspension, and did the change via the axle right at the leaf's, the owner and I had a...

    Caulking/Silicone

    I've been using a product manufactured by ASI (American Sealants Inc) the 502. We've used if for years in a couple major chain steak houses in the kitchen, dish rooms and food areas with all the grease, water, etc. Like someone else said it will collect dust and needs to be kept clean, I guess...

    Caulking/Silicone

    Awhile back someone asked about using the caulking vs a good silicone for the outside trim and areas that come caulked from the factory. I had posted along with a couple others that I was going to use a silicone that we use for jobs, it's UV safe, and takes alot more beating in the...
