We have the three season doors and addressed the issue of privacy and insulation by mounting a heavy duty curtain rod with heavy backed curtains. We like the setup. We bought the curtains at one of the economy bedding/curtain outlet.

Thought I would add an observation...3500s are not 1 ton trucks anymore and haven't been for a long time. My former 1 ton 2002 3500 as rated to carry over 4Klbs in the bed, not 2K lbs (1 ton). My current 1.5 ton 4500 is rated to carry almost 7Klbs in the bed. My 3/4 ton 2003 2500 is rated to...

I had my Cyclone 3950 and truck weighed at each wheel with 30 gal in the fuel tank, full tank fresh water an empty grey water and black water tanks. Had all supplies and clothes on board and two full propane tanks, and the Mule in the garage. Had 112 gal fuel in the truck, the dogs, my wife...

Decided to keep the TowMax tires. Not sure if it is a major factor or not, but my Level-up system removes most of the weight off the tires when activated in my shop. This could prevent flat spots on tread and sidewall. Plus, just as important to keep tires properly aired during storage as...

Wow, I hadn't thought about it. I've towed mine about 15k miles with it on. I have two convex mirrors on my tow mirrors that let me see back of trailer pretty well. I may start taking it off and hauling it with me or remove it and start carrying my 16' foldup aluminum ladder. If I keep it...

The BW low pro hitch on my rig is not adjustable, but you can make adjustments with the trailer pin box. Mine 5er is about an inch low in the front, not enough for me to bothe with. Ron

Tammy, I echo the recommendations to get a licensed electrician to check you unit. I spent a career in the Air Force in communications and while stationed at Andrews AFB, had some noise problems from some comm carrier equipment in base housing. Come to find out, the resident housing did not...

Tammy, Sorry something wasn't found that is attributable to the blown appliances. I'm not sure about newer TVs and the vacuum, but older ones actually had in-line fuses in them. Might be worth checking. I was reading a few posts down where there was discussion about twisting the main power...

Friends, If it were not for the setting up/closing down the patio option in order to load or unload the Mule, I would not use the cables. Not even sure if the cables come on the ramps if you don't have the patio option. I didn't read if everyone commenting on this thread have the patio...

Porthole (Duane), Howdy. Thanks for the info. Surprisingly, ramp opening/closing procedure doesn't strain me. I'll keep it in mind as time goes on. I'm having an ankle replacement the end of this month, so likely I won't be RVing until Dec or Jan. Thanks and keep 'er between the lines and...

Fellow Heartland RVers, I'm happy to report Heartland responded to my claim and they will send me a check for my wiring issue. I'm a happy camper. Tammy, get the tester I mentioned and order/purchase a plug in voltmeter. Camping World has them...

Tammy, your unit should have been protected from bad power/wiring coming into your RV with the two components you listed. Here is what I'm talking about plugging into to check each plug INSIDE your RV. <a...

Dave, I have a 50 amp power mgt/surge suppressor from camping world. When you plug in, it tells you that voltage is safe and neutral/ground is in place. I've used one in each camper for years and offers good protection. It will shut power off if it detects over/under voltage. It sounds like...

I have an electric wiring claim that I'm submitting to Heartland for reimbursement. At three days out of one-year warranty, we were camping under generator power when we heard a loud pop and no more generator power. I checked power at PD5200 transfer switch and was seeing 48.7VAC on both legs...

I have a Kawasaki 4010...the 3950 has a 12' garage, so I have about a foot or so clearance backed in and about two inches in the front between the patio/tailgate. It's a bear squeezing in to secure it. I use ratchet straps, ratchet the rear down first and then the front. I really wanted the...
