    Not paying sales tax on RVs

    Just came across this organization that claims they have a process to which you don't have to pay sales tax on your new RV. They charge a "fee" to help you set up your own company in which you register your RV under. Something smells fishy here...or too good to be true. Anyone have experience or...

    New RVIA Canadian Seal Change

    I found this article about changes to the Canadian RVIA Seal requirements: http://www.rvbusiness.com/2011/06/rvia-canadian-seal-changes-effective-june-1/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+RvBusiness+%28RV+Business%29 The article is pretty vague on what is actually...

    Rumor mill...true or not true?

    I've been researching Heartland RVs for over a year and with my Type A personality and thoroughness (other people call it anal :) ), I've heard some crazy stuff through the grapevine and I'm hoping someone can either confirm or dispell. I've heard that some top level execs/managers at Heartland...

    Cyclone or Voltage

    So I've been researching Cyclones for several months and have talked to several owners in addition to many Heartland reps and was nearly sold on the 2012 3800 HD. This will be my third fifth wheel and I have learned to not buy based solely on floor plan, but primarily on quality of construction...

    Point of Contact?

    In doing my research on our new TH, I'm 99.9% sure we will purchase a Cyclone. I plan on buying in the next few weeks, but want to be 100% sure I am making the right decision. I didn't do this last time when we bought our 2010 SOB fifth wheel and now we are dealing with many issues which I'll...

    Banks Exhaust Brake

    My quest for a new truck has been put on hold for a little while since the wife and I are expecting our first kiddo in a few months. So I'm back to finding some fun improvements for my '06 F-350 6.0L PS. I'm interested in buying a Banks Exhaust Brake. I already have the IQ Six-Gun System and...

    DL requirements for towing 5er

    I am a resident of TX stationed in CA. After consulting TX DPS, I found out I am illegal towing my 5er. According to TX, with a combined GVWR of truck and trailer over 26,000lbs, I am required to have a Class B CDL. If I were under 26,000lbs, a Class B non-CDL would suffice. But I can't get...

    Specs on Ford, Chevy, Dodge

    I'm toying around with the idea of upgrading my '06 F-350 PS with a new 350/3500 dually. I've been playing around on all the big three's websites, edmunds.com, and consumer reports. There's some towing specs available on the above mentioned sites, but its taking a lot digging to find the info...

    TrailerAir/5th Airborne king pin vs TS3 Hitch

    My intent is not to start a debate which is better - a king pin with airbag or a hitch with airbags, but just wondering if I have a dealer install a Trailer Air or 5th Airborne king pin, does it have any effect on the warranty of the frame? My biggest concern is voiding the Lippert frame...

    roof material?

    When I talked to a Cyclone dealer, he said the roof was made of vinyl (also known as Thermalplastic Polyolefin or TPO), but I just downloaded the Owner's Manual off the Heartland website and it talks about rubber roofs (also known as Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer or EPDM). Just curious...

    HD or not?

    For several months, the wife and I have been researching TH's and we have decided on a Cyclone. However, we've noticed some differences between early 2011 models and later 2011 models when comparing the Full Throttle and HD editions. It seems in the earlier '11 models, the difference between...

    how long does it take to build?

    The wife and I are trying to make the final decision on either the 3950 HD or 3800 HD and plan on ordering soon. Just curious, from the time we order, approximately how long does it take to actually build the unit? And if I'm not mistaken, there is a shortage of drivers to deliver the...

    Washer/Dryer Combo Question

    From what I've seen with the w/d combo in the closet in the 2011 3800, you have to crawl into the closet to access. My question is would it be possible to rotate the w/d in the closet so the opening is facing the rear, then neatly cut an access panel in the wood since the closet doors don't...

    Got shot down by dealer

    I contacted a certain dealer a few days ago to inquire about pricing out a new Cyclone 3950 HD with all the options. I also asked the salesperson if they could see if they could add a few extras such as: install tank, pipe, and elbow heaters (I gave them the brand and web link for the...

    Aftermarket tank indicators

    Anyone know of any aftermarket fresh, grey, and black tank indicators? I know I've seen on a forum somewhere that someone installed these indicators that actually attach on the outside of the tanks (if I remember right, they are some type of sticky strip that are cut to fit the tanks). They are...

    2nd A/C in Cyclone garage question

    Here's a question for the factory...I would put it in the Ask the Factory thread but since I don't own a Heartland yet, I was prompted to put my question here. We are hashing out all the options we want for our 2011 Cyclone 3950 HD and will be ordering soon. I checked with the dealer who...

    Location of 2nd A/C

    We are hashing out all the options we want for our 2011 Cyclone 3950 HD and will be ordering soon. I checked with the dealer who contacted Heartland and they said they could put the 2nd A/C in the garage vice the bedroom. We have a 37' fifth wheel now with dual A/C's and we rarely use the one...
