I'm so sorry to hear this. My heart breaks for you.

Our old truck would be overloaded (a F350 DRW, though, not a 2500)...a 2011 F350 DRW can tow 21,300 from the 5th wheel hitch as per the Ford towing guide. GCVW checks out. That's why we're buying it...for the very reasons you mention.

Thank you everyone! I'm excited to find this forum. Y'all seem like a fun group of folks. Jay-thank you! We really would like to come out. I told Tom about it, and he's excited. My parents live in Rosenberg, out past Sugar Land, but my Aunt lives in Spring. Joe and Diana---we're confident...

Our concern is liability in towing a 5er the truck is not rated for. We're concerned that could be a big issue in any accident. Anyone have an issue with that?

We are faced with this exact same problem. We have a 1999 F350 DRW and have fallen in love with the 3800HD as well. We won't be hauling any toys (except my dad's power chair and maybe a scooter down the road), but the floor plan works for our family (grandparents, parents, kids). Problem is...

I had to laugh at that. My husband and I say the same thing of towing the Cyclone 3800 we're purchasing. He's an AH64D guy and I flew UH60s when on AD. I don't have any better advice than what you've been given, except to say I towed a 32' Prowler bunk house with an Excursion V10. It had a...

We haven't bought our 5er yet, but we have a 2001 Prowler. This past summer we had it stored at our house in KS. Yes, KS gets cold, but in the summer it gets hot. We ran a dehumidifier 24/7 (we bought a fairly small one at Wal-Mart for about $150). I was amazed at the amount of water it took...

yeah....that's my feeling too!

Hello! I've already posted on here and received very helpful information (Thanks!). So, I thought I'd say "howdy." I'm Heidi-Stay-at-home mom to 2-month old Adelaide. I was 12 years active duty Army until I decided to be a mom. Now, I'm still in the Army Reserves. I grew up camping with my...

We're picking up our 2011 F350 DRW on Friday to match the Cyclone we're buying any day now. I love how you color coordinated it! Sounds like the two are a match!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the input. I will definitely join the Heartland Owners Club when we purchase. I've already looked at the schedule for Rallys in TX! I would love to go pick it up in Holman, but my husband doesn't have the time off right now. My parents are retired...

Hello! New here. My family is looking to purchase a Cyclone 3800. We've been less than impressed with our local dealers (more than just price). They've used some crappy tactics (telling us it was still available...we drive 1 1/2 hours and find out it's sold and will have to wait 8 weeks for...

We had the same change of "heart." We were looking at bunk house style 5th wheels (not toy haulers). Didn't even consider toy haulers. Then, we saw the Cyclone 3800 at an RV show and OH MY! This purchase will be a 3-generational use...my parents who have mobility issues, us (mid-30s), and...
