Sheri and I have been very impressed with Heartland and we think that the Cyclone 3950 Toy Haulers are an amazing fifth wheel. Of all the fifth wheels we’ve examined, we keep coming back to the Heartland Cyclone Toy Hauler.
When I read this article, I couldn’t help but wonder if Heartland can expand because they have been making a comparatively better product. If you read the article you’ll see that this relative newbie (since 2003) has jumped to 3rd place in fifth wheels.

Recently, I was relaxing and Sheri was showering when all of a sudden Sheri started saying “Marlan, turn the outside water off!” over and over again. Since that is really easy to do, I went outside and did it.Quickly too.
When I returned inside I found out that the COLD water faucet in the shower literally ‘shot’ off its handle and ICY cold water was shooting on the shower door. Sheri couldn’t turn it off AND Sheri couldn’t open the shower door to escape the cold surprise.
RV materials seem to NOT be as high quality as materials in a stationary house. I believe that is for a number of sensible reasons like reduced weight, reduced usage (not counting full-timers), lower perceived needed cost since an RV is considered to be an EXTRA item a person buys, and so forth.
Fixing an RV hot or cold water faucet :
When I looked at the shower faucet, it did not look broken at all. In fact, I believe that the units will loosen over time as you turn the faucet on and off and they will eventually be loose. So as you shower or use any washers in the RV, you might check occasionally and give them a tighten. We noticed that things seemed a little more loose after the RV has been moved.
As for the faucet, I could not see how to put it together so I had to disassemble the HOT water and look at that faucet and once I did that I was able to assemble both back together. Nothing but a screwdriver
