I believe copper was a new color last year on the Cyclone. That's what we have. I'd be surprised if it's been discontinued already. I'm sure it's a screw up. I was also disappointed to see the diamond plate only go up a few inches on the wall. Since I'll mainly be loading either a RZR or a...

Unfortunately, it's nigh impossible to get reservations at one of the Yosemite valley campgrounds in the summer. I tried to reserve online (via recreation.gov) the second the window opened up for early June, and it was COMPLETELY sold out in like 5 seconds. I don't know how anyone can camp...

I'd love to know as well! I've tried just lifting it up as it sounds like some Voltages are like that. I've tried getting my camera in the back to take pictures of the mount to see if I can see the trick. No luck so far. -steve

Many of us need access to them twice a year: winterize and un-winterize. Luckily, the WH on the 300C is accessible from under the kitchen sink.

Congrats on the 300C! We love ours! I've found the under cabinet light near the sink to be easier to reach when entering the trailer. At least the cabinet controls are next to the door. Some of the floorplans have this panel a few steps inside the trailer. I am surprised there isn't a...

Actually, you can not sanitize the fresh tank this way. When you have the valve set to winterized, the pump will only fill the lines. There is no setting to draw water using the pump to fill the tank. What I've done is to set the valve for tank fill. Pour a strong bleach solution into my...

I got 5 quotes from the Midwest dealers, and Lakeshore RV was the lowest. Pan Pacific matched their price. This was back in November. My buddy bought a Cyclone 2812 from Lakeshore a couple of months ago. He was not able to get Pan Pacific to match Lakeshore's price. They were about $2000...

Nope. Mine doesn't do this. -steve

Heartland no longer supplies a bunk ladder with new toyhaulers. I bought a 3 step ladder, which I need anyway to get to the upper cabinets. -steve

Our 300C had this issue recently, too. We had a lot of people in our trailer, and someone was sitting on the steps above the inside connection. He may have tapped it with his heel and it kicked on. I ended up turning it off with the breaker. I later pulled out the inside connection...

Re: Blue LED's on the front of my Cyclone Are these the LED lights that would help illuminate your hitch as you hitch up? I believe mine are yellow. Are they still using blue? I think blue would have been way cool! -steve

Check to see if it turns on the rear outside lights above the ramp door. -steve

I have a Ti Cyclone, a 300C, and like it very much. The double stepped nose is a clever approach to getting more space in a shorter towing trailer, in theory. The problem I see with this design is that everything moves forward in the trailer, so that you lose your large basement. On the...

I figure a picture is worth 1K of words. Here's my toilet paper holder I got from Lowes. It was a very easy install. I also got the matching towel holder mounted above the toilet, and a matching soap dispenser and toothbrush holder. All are the same oil-rubbed bronze finish as the faucet...

I mounted mine to the wall in the left basin cabinet. It's an easy reach to open the door and there it is, and is out of the way at other times. I used sheetrock style screws in the wall. I didn't want to screw anything into the cabinetry. I didn't like the chinzy looking toilet paper holder...

The slide on the 3010 is not the super slide like on the 300C. I didn't think a couch/dinette combo would fit on the smaller slides. Are you sure Heartland offers this for the 3010? It's a $1000 option on the 300C. -steve

The actual GVWR of the 300C is 16K lbs. For some interesting reason, trailers bound for CA still show 14K on their stickers, but they are the same as the trailers going to other parts of the US! My theory is that by stamping 14K on the weight sticker, the CA owner will not need to get their...

I believe that is a $1000 option. When I was in the process of buying mine, the local dealer had a 300C with exactly what I wanted, except it had this dinette, which I didnt' want! I had them order one with the L couch. It is a nice couch dinette, though! Much nicer than the standard RV one...

Re: Hidden Options. Can you elaborate as to why these are hidden options? Or maybe AJ can step in? -steve

There used to be a couple of differences: Cyclone had solid surface counters in the bathroom, RW doesn't. Cyclone uses a higher quality fiberglass than RW. Things change so fast on these things from month to month that those differences may be gone by now. We have a 300C and love it! We...

This is what I meant when I said if you don't have a good internet connection. You don't always have an internet connection, so bring your own media. Obtain said media with your laptop when you have a good connection, and store it on the GoFlex for later viewing. For the last couple of years...

Many people have iPhones and iPads nowadays. You can get the $40 HDMI adapter and connect it to your TV. That's what I do. I have an unlimited data plan from AT&T (grandfathered in from the first iPhone), so I can watch Netflix over 3G if there isn't WiFi. Other options with iDevices include...

I have your trailer's sibling - the Cyclone 300C. If it's a late model 2012 like mine, you'll have an andersen valve setup. This means you have one fresh water inlet that accepts a hose (like a normal city water inlet), and a 4 position valve that directs the fresh water: city water, tank...

AJ pretty much sums up the differences. The main items he mentions that made the Voltage a non-starter for me were their swintek slide design and electric landing gear. I'd much rather have the proven hydraulic slide and landing gear than 4 TV's and a remote control awning. I do wish the...

Just to add another piece of info - 300C's bound for CA have 14K GVWR stickers on them. CrazyCooter bought his from a midwest dealer and has a 16K sticker. Mine was built after his, so I"m sure they didn't lower the GVWR back down. Another 300C I saw at a CA dealer had the same 14K GVWR...

You are correct in that the new models have the large window in the center of the slideout, with two narrower windows on each side. Mine is a new model that came with the long, L-shaped couch that extends out. I believe this has always been the case, and is nothing new. Maybe AJ can chime in...

The propane indicator on these do not show a color when everything is good. They only show red when the appropriate tank is empty. Congrats! -steve

We love our new 300C. Unfortunately, we haven't had any time to camp much in it. I camped two nights near the dealer to be sure everything was ok, and was very pleased to find only one minor thing to fix. I hope to stay in it 3 or 4 nights coming up in a couple of weeks. I am currently...

I'd also like to know how to remove the 40" TV in my 2012 300C. I'd like to get behind it to do some re-wiring. Similar TV's in Voltages appear to simply lift up off the mount, but I can't get the TV to budge and I don't want to break anything! -steve

These trailers come winterized from the factory. It very well could be that the dealer didn't actually check the system out and just left it as is. When you did your PDI with this dealer, did they go through and operate all the faucets and hot water heater with you so that you can see that it...

I've installed Fantastic Fans in 3 RV's so far, including a Sundance 2800RLS. I was always able to tie into a nearby 12V light. I agree with the above in that the hardest part is scraping off the existing caulking. -steve

I generally use rvparkreviews.com to research campgrounds. There aren't that many choices near Oakland. I have stayed at Anthony Chabot Family Campground in my truck camper, and thought it was pretty nice. It's a bit of a drive up a windy road, but should be ok with a large 5th wheel. It...

Well, I picked up my new 300C a few days ago from Pan Pacific. I spent a while going through the coach with the tech. The plan was to camp close by over the weekend and really go over the trailer. With some trepidation, I hooked it up to my Dodge 2500. I inflated the air bags to 65psi. I...

Thanks for the clarification, AJ! -steve

AJ posted this last may: //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/24268-Cyclone-or-Voltage?p=178677&viewfull=1#post178677 Things are changing rapidly in the Toy Hauler market, so I don't know if this comparison needs an update or not. For instance, Cyclone (and road warrior?) are now using TPO...

Apple's devices have a setting that will not allow automatic connection to a foreign cellular network for data. This is set by default. On the first iPhone, which didn't have this setting, the iPhone would periodically connect to the foreign network to fetch mail, etc, and users were left with...

Oh? My Cyclone 300C just came off the line this week. It will have a TPO roof???? -steve

The other difference I can think of is that all countertops in the Cyclone are solid surface, where only the kitchen countertop is for the RW. I would have thought Heartland would have differentiated these two brands more, but maybe that is their intent with the new Torque line.

AJ, Has Heartland considered using TPO roofs? This material is thicker and less prone to punctures. I like to think of EPDM is like an inner tube, where TPO is like a tire. TPO is used by a few manufacturers, but is not very common. My guess is that it is more expensive. Thanks! -steve

I've been curious about this topic as I wait for my 300C. So you are saying that the table is narrower than the opening between the couches, so it doesn't have to be removed to raise the lower sofa bunk? Can the seat backs stay up to support the weight of the upper bunk? In other words, with...
