    Larry the headhunter is getting operated on

    HI Larry. I don't know if you remember Brent& I from Oregon a couple of years ago, but we remember having a great time at dinner with you and Debbie. i haven't been on the forum lately - too busy with kids and life - but just logged on tonight and have been reading about your journey through...

    Campground in Canada wanted by overseas Invester

    This is great news, as of April 1. There used to be an extra charge for over height vehicles (higher than 6.5 ft I think) which made a heck of a difference. We might be able to afford to come and see you!

    Campground in Canada wanted by overseas Invester

    I can see the biggest deterent (sp?) for most in coming to your campground will be the ferry costs. We have figured out it would cost us close to $400 each way from Vancouver. So, one day, we will do a trip to the Island, and we will stay long enough to see everything and then we would be hard...

    Looking at a 3210

    we tow with a 1996 F350 dually with airbags. If the right deal comes along, we will get a newer truck but for now, we take it slow and easy. Next upgrade to the truck will be exhaust brakes which would give us a little more peace of mind.

    Gaudy

    I have to say i'm in the 'busy' camp. It would bother me not to be able to read it when it was coming toward me.

    Silicone Bake Wear

    Especially cuz we travel with the espresso machine, portable ice maker, 2 laptops and 2 TV's. That's 'glamping' I was told.

    New member to Cyclone family in BC

    The Oregon Rally is great - you should try to get there if you can. The dates aren't working for us this year, so we can't go. Love those sand dunes!!!!

    Problem with furnace and water heater

    We always light the stove and let it burn for a few minutes before turning on the heater and furnace. Does a better job of 'bleeding' the lines.

    Advice for the "new to RVing"----

    Good posts by both Larry's and lots of other good comments as well. We have been lucky (knock on wood) that the Cyclone as had very few factory issues so far. Are there things we wish the factory had done differently? Of course. But there are things we wish our house builder had done...

    Tire Pressures, where to fill

    we have a perpetually low tire on the Cyclone (it's on the honey do list). We stopped at 3 different service stations and a car dealer before going to Les Schwab. They had no problem and a huge bay to pull the rig through. I.m not sure if our portable compressor that takes up space in the...

    outside propane heater/fire thing-a-ma-jig

    we also have the little Red Campfire. haven't had a problem and it throws a fair bit of heat considering how small it is.

    Ditto - When you go to an RV show, they all end up looking the same by the time you are finished.

    Questions about not buying local and non-Heartland dealerships performing work.

    We also bought our rig far from home as the price couldn't be beat. Only had a couple of warranty items and Heartland Customer Service found a repair shop near us to do the work. Very easy to work with. The Heartland dealers in British Columbia also won't do warranty work if you didn't buy...

    Time to say Goodbye

    JOhn & Sue, good luck in your next adventure. I'm so glad you made it to the BC Rally and we were lucky enough to meet you. Your calm, rational viewpoints were always inspiring on the forum. we will miss you.

    new to heartland

    The first weekend with our 3210, I blew about 4 fuses trying to level the trailer (good thing I had read the forum and had a handful of them). Then I realized I had the back jacks down, so not only was the motor trying to lift the trailer, but was also pushing against the rear jacks. OOPS!

    Heat in Garage of Cyclone 3010

    We did exactly the same in our 3210. It works great and one vent is definitely enough - it gets so toasty in there we have to block the hole! We used the same port covers that are in the UDC. One fully blocks the hole and the other has 2 1 inch holes to regulate the heat a bit. We have...

    Just Toured the Factory!

    I am very jealous. We were supposed to go to a wedding in Grand Rapids and had hooked up with Jim B for a tour, then we decided not to go to the wedding. the biggest disappointment was missing the tour!!! We will get there one day!

    U Turn Question

    We did it once at a campground and I sure didn't like the look of the tires, suspension etc. We try not to do it unless necessary now.

    Alaska 2010

    We learned our lesson as well for our 12 day trip from Vancouver to Anaheim and back. Next trip (to Central British Columbia) was travel every other day so we could at least see the place we were stopped in. British Columbia is a beautiful place so make time to see it. I don't know that...

    Ford F250 starter trouble

    Our '96 F350 is in the shop right now to determine the starter problem. If we plug it in overnight (which is a little ridiculous in Vancouver, BC), there is no problem. But once summer is over, it chugs and chugs but won't start. New batteries didn't help. I will update when DH picks the...

    Time to Plan the 2010 Oregon Rally!

    either weekend looks OK so far. The later one we could make work with our July 1 holiday perhaps. We'd love to go back to Winchester Bay but aren't really picky.
