Thanks

We purchased ours from:
Great Lakes RV Center
Elkhart, IN
Gary Davis
Local: (574)293-4500
Toll Free: 1-866-FUN-RV4U (866-386-7848)
We didn't want some of the extras so we had ours built the way we wanted it. Took about 4 weeks to build. No central vac, queen beds in the back, dual pane windows, auto leveling jacks in back, no graphics on the outside. We paid just under $40,000 delivered to SO CA. This doesn't include CA taxes but included delivery.

Since I started this topic I'll jump in with the ending.
I bought a 2010 3010 from Holman's in Ohio. just got home today with it. I drove from California to Ohio to pick it up. It towed very nicely and is a very well built toy hauler. I hit a storm in Oklahoma that the rain was so heavy it was almost white out. People were pulled over on the side of the road. No leaks on the Cyclone. Being from CA I've never been in anything like that.
Anyway, seems to be a good trailer so far.

Elias, Congrats on picking up your Cyclone. Glad to hear it made the long trip without any issues. Ours should be delivered on Tuesday. We are planning our first trip Halloween weekend. Off to Ocotillo Wells to try it out.

I think you guys are really going to love your new Cyclone.
I made the drive from Ca because my wife and kids met me in Albuquerque for the balloon festival and from there we went to Sedona and then home.
I really wanted to do the pdi at the dealers. I arrived there the night before and stayed in the trailer. It was hardly worth it as all I found for them to fix was to adjust 3 of the storage door locks. 10 minutes after the pdi I was on my way.
It was a great trip and the Heartland did great. It was a little nerve racking going from a 25 ft. travel trailer to a 35 ft. fifth wheel but you get used to it and adjust to the differences.
Good luck!

We are going from a 30ft toy hauler trailer to a 35ft. 5th wheel. This will be our 5th toy box. But our first 5th wheel. I'm sure my husband and I will stressed the first time we take it out but we will adjust as you mentioned. Planning on taking it to Alaska next summer.

Good to hear the positive feedback on this model. We're considering the 3010 as an upgrade next summer. We're in a 21" tag toy hauler and this would be bigger, but by my calculations it'd only be about 6 or so feet longer overall. I pulled my rig next to my neighbor who had a 27" 5er and I was 2 feet longer!
Of course the weight is nearly double empty, but I'm around 9k loaded up anyway.
Enjoy that new rig!

Congrats Elias and anitajeff!
We too are looking at one and are soooo envious that you both got new ones. we also will be going from a 25' pull trailer to this 5th wheel if all works out with pricing. we are off to the pamona show this weekend to look.
Its also good to hear that it stayed dry for you.
since both of you purchased out of state, how did the tax thing and warrantee thing work out for you? What are both of you pulling your 3010's with?
thanks and congrats.

We are pulling with: Chevy 2500 4x4 Duramax/Allison. Haven't figured the tax thing yet. But ran into a couple at the desert last year who bought out of state. They had to take their 5vr to the DMV. We are members of Auto Club and according to them we can take the 5vr to them for registration. Have fun at Pomona.
