Howdy all! The time has come to put some new running shoes on the Cyclone! Those Missions got to go! I'm leaving Whiting, IN in a couple of weeks and heading to SW Texas (west of Odessa!) for my next job. Current tires are Load Range E and wheels are rated for 3042 lbs. In looking at the...

I feel like a new man! I just joined the HOC! Guess that just slipped by me years ago and now...well...I'M LEGIT!:cool: :cool:

Well...long time no see! After about 2 1/2 years of working for a company in OKC, it's time to go back on the road! I start a new job on Monday at a refinery in NE Indiana and will be staying about 3.5 miles from the jobsite - in Chicago. And they have snow in the forecast next week! Just in...

First off...Howdy all! Been a long time. Short, quick story is this: Finished up on project in Nebraska end of January, took time off, end of March took a job as an Operations Manager for my old company in OKC. Sold the old stick & brick near downtown. Supposed to close Friday on new...

DW needs a La-Z-Boy! I tried to explain that since I'm between jobs right now - I'm not working at the moment...but that's not the kind she's talking about! :rolleyes: We visited the Dallas RV show today and she tried out all the recliners and chairs in the Heartland's - but would rather have...

Got questions about the water pump switches. Can someone explain them? Do both of them have to be in certain positions for the pump to work? Does the red LED on the monitor panel have to be on? I've been using city water through the hose since I got the Cyclone. My original pump sprung a...

I'm not, but I know we have a lot of law officers on here, thought I'd share this with you. :) New uniforms and ties attract catsup and gravy. You will never get the urge to use the bathroom until you have left the station. Surprise inspections will only occur after you have been in a...

In the photos, the small cable running from the dump handle connects via the big coupling with the set screw on it to the valve shaft. When the handle is pulled, the shaft slides out, opening the gate valve...etc... Question for those of you with this experience...Is there any way that the...

Here's a link and below is a quote from the CNN article... NHTSA said Ford drivers should look for warnings of possible imminent fires, including malfunctioning cruise control systems and brake lights and antilock braking system and brake light warnings on the dashboard. The safety agency also...

OK, I'm tired of looking. Time to ask my friend(s). Is there not someone that supplies a 5/8" diameter white drinking water hose in about a 3' - 5' length? I can find 1/2" diameter, 4' long many places. I'd rather have the larger diameter, if available. Worse comes to worse, I could cut a...

OK, I looked on the Heartland RV website (well...not a long time, but I did look) and I'm looking for a toyhauler that is a tow behind, not a 5er. Does Heartland make such an animal? :confused: My parents have a TT right now (SOB) and are looking or a new trailer. They need more room for...

Effective today - I just saved over $5000/year on my vehicle insurance...and it wasn't from Geico! :D Most fulltimers will undoubtedly already be aware of this. For those of you who are considering fulltiming - it can really pay! We are transferring our home base to South Dakota from...

You know...that BLUE color scheme Heartland has on the CYCLONE looks wonderful and would sure look great with my CHEVY! Too bad they didn't come out with that a year or so earlier! Can't the factory do something about that?? :confused::D I can't believe it!! :eek::eek: Another problem I...

Who is your real friend? This really works! If you don't believe it, just try this experiment.... Put your dog and your spouse in the trunk of the car for an hour. When you open the trunk, which one is really happy to see you?

I was given a Wilson Direct Connect Amp, Model # 811101. Does anyone know if there is an adapter cable available to connect to a Huawei Air Card, Model EC168? According to Wilson's website, there are no air cards listed for this manufacturer! :confused: OK! (And trying to communicate with...

OK, my turn...does a person have to establish 'domicile' or 'permanent residency' or whatever you call it, in a state where they own a house? My situation is this: Hopefully by the end of next month, wife coming with me on the road! :D Sticks-n-Bricks for sale in OK, but DW already has her...

Does anyone know the thickness of the coroplast underbelly? They gauge it in mm - 2,3,4,5,6,etc - and I want to get the same thickness as the existing. I need to get some more to finish covering the belly of my Cyclone - back where the garage is and the current underbelly stops. I...

Howdy all! Been missing the HOF and busy working and winterizing the Cyclone...getting ready for a Wyoming winter. I'll post about that later - now I have a real problem. The furnace will not light. NO manual came with it, so I don't even know what kind it is - yet. I'm headed out to...

EVDOalex, How can I tell which one I have? Does the 'U' mean it is USB connect? If so, that is the one I have. Service through AT&T. Also...how effective are the external antennas? I need a signal boost! :( My card works great most of the time, but when receiving larger emails with...

For those of you that use MS Streets & Trips - or any other mapping software that uses little bitmaps - here's a Heartland and a Cyclone PushPin for you. :) :cool:I made these from photos I took and hopefully I'm not breaking any copyright laws! :eek: If so, you didn't get these from me, I...

6-pack Tecate ................................................$7.50 :D 35 sq ft, peel & stick tiles @ $0.29 ea.................$10.15 :) Make the bed with ease................................Priceless! :cool:

Those goofy little leprechauns, always looking for a pot of gold...;) Don't they know what's really at the end of a rainbow? A CYCLONE!!! :rolleyes::cool::D

Well, I've searched the threads and find nothing I'm looking for. I did find posts and pics of the 5th wheel skirt John (jpmorgan) posted. I found lots of advice, suggesting to purchase a full skirt for wintering in C-O-L-D locations. I do not - at this time - have the luxury of travelling south...

Here's the recipe for the bacon-wrapped chicken and pineapple munchies we made for the Rally! You can also use some medium-sized shrimp (tails removed) instead of the chicken or pineapple, or double them up - some we made for Rally had both chicken and pineapple in them. 1-2 package(s) of...

As Memorial Day approaches, this former Army-brat wants to voice my appreciation to all current and former military service members! Without a doubt - you all are heroes! I personally can't express my sincere, heartfelt thankfulness near enough! :):cool:

I ran across this recently and was wondering what my Heartland friends' thoughts were. Do any of you use it? It's only $40 and it does seem like it could be helpful. The FAQ on their site said they have sold thousands and only had 3 requests for a refund. You get a 30-day, money-back...

Browsing the forum, while traveling south toward a jobsite - I just saw a CYCLONE headed north on Hwy 69, just south of Eufaula, OK! :cool::) My first Cyclone sighting - I was so amazed, all I noticed was a red TV, didn't get the type! Awesome...there ARE some Heartlands in OK. :D Tourist...

OK, Heartland Owners, want some more tire info? Ok, then! Just watched a 20/20 story. It seems MANY tires out there are being sold as 'brand new', when they are actually many years old - since date of manufacture. If you follow your DOT code all the way to the end, the last number is the...

I'm looking for any info on BIG-RIG-CYCLONE-PULL-THRU-FRIENDLY campgrounds in the Douglas, Wyoming area! Is that really asking too much? I'll be taking a new job, starting in June, so it'll be time to head north with the Cyclone - soon. The job is scheduled to run until (at least) October...

I've read numerous posts about 5er lengths, so I thought I'd post another. :) Prior to picking up my Cyclone, I read on Heartland's website and literature received from the Dealer - 2 differing lengths. 40'11" and 41'11" were the lengths listed and when I picked it up, the dealer told me...

I just recently purchased my first RV ever, a 2009 Heartland Cyclone 3950. Between January 13, when I ordered it at the show and March 8, when I picked it up - I discovered this forum and read nearly every post ever posted. I have learned so much, I can't remember it all! :) Thanks to all who...

Got up into the 80s today. :) I left a couple of windows open in the Cyclone and the Fantastic Vent going in the main living area. It's right above the kitchen cabinet. Well, since it is the time of year in Oklahoma, for an afternoon rain shower..er, uh...afternoon rain DRENCHING, it dumped...

I finally saw another Heartland in a CG in OK! :) I'm currently parked at the KOA near Checotah; gonna move a few miles south to Lake Eufaula SP on Monday. There was a Sundance 5er here when I got up this morning, from D&N Trailer, Tennessee. I decided to go into work a bit later, in hopes of...

I know this has been discussed in a Razor forum recently, but I thought I would go ahead and place this here. When hitching up to move last Thursday, my front leveling jacks blew the fuse - again. :mad: After blowing 2 fuses before getting raised enough to hitch up, I got my meter to see...

Well - got a NU-B question here, so I knew this would be the place to go. :confused: Go easy on me fellas - too much work and not enough sleep! W/D did not drain when I ran it for the first time. Mfg was great and quickly sent me a part. I replaced the pump/motor assembly last night, so I...

Thanks to Steve (caokgafamily) for his BH storage idea - I purchased and installed my rod & reel holders on the bottom of the bottom bunk in my garage! I towed my Cyclone about 115 miles on Thursday and will return today the 115 miles where I'm parking at a CG. Gripping good so far. I'll have my...

Go to the HOG to see some of my Cyclone! :D

I'm in a new Cyclone at a CG right on a lake! :cool: I'm hooked up to 'city' water, so you'd think there would be NO PROBLEM with water pressure. The CG pressure is great and I'm using a in-line regulator. At the kitchen sink, I turn on the water and it runs like mad for about a second, then...

Well, it seems the Cyclone is having a problem. Actually, only the W/D. I finally tried it out last night and it will neither drain nor rinse. I have downloaded the manual from the web, which has a little bit more info than the hard copy that came with the unit. I have turned off power at the...

This is a link to a You Tube video of some really awesome little girls, singing the Nat'l Anthem at a Texas Tech basketball game in Jan 08. Apparantly, they perform often in Lubbock, Texas at a place called The Cactus Theater. There are 5 of them total, between 8 and 13 yrs old and...
