01 What makes it unique
The 2214 opens the Cyclone travel-trailer line at twenty-eight feet one inch overall on a twenty-five-foot-seven box, sleeping four. It carries Heartland's mandatory Ramp and Cargo Equipment package — a 30-gallon fuel tank with a locking, enclosed pump and timer, garage D-rings mounted to the steel frame, a Tuff-Ply rubberized garage floor liner, LED high-intensity ramp lighting, a weather-resistant rear ramp door and patio with anti-slip flooring, and power inverter prep. The mandatory Camping in Comfort package adds a 60,000-BTU on-demand tankless water heater, the 106-gallon fresh tank, a glass-front 12-volt refrigerator and a 13,500-BTU air conditioner.
What sets Cyclone apart in this catalog is how completely it publishes. Heartland gives GVWR, dry weight, hitch weight and cargo carrying capacity per plan, and on this trailer 7,445 pounds dry plus 4,255 pounds of cargo equals the 11,700-pound GVWR exactly. Nothing on this page is derived. What Heartland does not give is a garage length — not on this plan, not on any Cyclone, not on either brand page. Grand Design publishes one on all twenty-eight Momentum floorplans; Heartland publishes none on any of six. We show the figures the factory publishes and leave the row out rather than estimate it. The 1,045-pound dry tongue is the lightest in the family.

Holding tanks
Axles, wheels and nose shape are schematic; not a floorplan. Data: dataset.
Towing it
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).
03 The Cyclone floorplan family
Heartland publishes Cyclone as two separate lines that share no floorplan codes: the Cyclone fifth wheel and the Cyclone travel trailer. Both carry the same mandatory Ramp and Cargo Equipment package — a 30-gallon fuel tank with a locking enclosed pump and timer, garage D-rings and a Tuff-Ply rubberized floor liner — and both publish their weights completely, which is rarer than it should be. The 2214 on this page is highlighted; each profiled plan links to its own page. Heartland does not publish a garage length for any Cyclone, so that column is absent from this catalog rather than estimated.
| Floorplan | Type | Length | GVWR | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2214 | TT | 28 ft 1 in | 11,700 | 4 | Entry Cyclone — the smallest and cheapest in the family |
| 2615 | TT | 34 ft 8 in | 13,250 | 4 | The larger trailer — most payload of the two, no published price |
| 3511 | 5W | 41 ft 2 in | 17,800 | 6 | Entry fifth wheel — the lightest pin of the three |
| 3913 | 5W | 46 ft 5 in | 21,000 | 8 | Most cargo capacity in the family — 5,565 lbs, sleeps eight |
| 3914 | 5W | 46 ft 11 in | 21,000 | 8 | The longest Cyclone — sleeps eight, heaviest pin |
| 2816 | TT | — | — | 4 | Catalogued — the factory publishes no weights for this plan |
The Cyclone travel trailer is the bumper-pull half of the family, published by Heartland as an entirely separate line sharing no floorplan codes with the fifth wheels. It carries the same mandatory Ramp and Cargo Equipment package - a 30-gallon fuel tank with a locking enclosed pump and timer, garage D-rings and a Tuff-Ply liner - and the same complete weight publication. Heartland publishes no garage length. Tongue weights are factory dry figures; weigh the loaded trailer and confirm against your vehicle's door-jamb placard.
04 Notes on this floorplan
Cargo capacity is published, not derived
7,445 dry plus 4,255 cargo equals the 11,700-pound GVWR exactly. Heartland publishes all four numbers, so nothing on this page is arithmetic.
No garage length — anywhere in the line
Heartland publishes no garage dimension for any Cyclone floorplan on any surface. The row is omitted rather than estimated or borrowed from a competitor.
The fuel tank is a package standard, not a plan spec
The 30-gallon tank comes from the mandatory Ramp and Cargo Equipment package, identical on every Cyclone. There is no per-plan fuel field in the Cyclone tables.
Slide count not published
The factory's Number of Slides field is unpopulated on every Cyclone and the number appears nowhere else on the page. We do not infer one.
05 How it compares
Grand Design's entry trailer toy hauler — 11,000-pound GVWR, a published fourteen-foot garage and a 30-gallon fuel station, profiled here.
Lighter and much cheaper, with more payload — but no fuel station at all, and it sleeps two.
Six feet longer with 355 more pounds of cargo capacity — but Heartland publishes no base price for it.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 106-gallon fresh tank is about 884 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 21% of the 2214’s 4,255 lb cargo capacity, leaving 3,371 lb (843 lb per rated berth). Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Cyclone 2615, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 28 ft 1 in vs 34 ft 8 in; dry weight 7,445 lb vs 8,640 lb; GVWR 11,700 lb vs 13,250 lb; cargo capacity 4,255 lb vs 4,610 lb; dry hitch weight 1,045 lb vs 1,270 lb. They match on sleeps, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.
Either side of it by GVWR: Cyclone 2615 is 1,550 lb heavier (13,250 lb GVWR).
| Nearest Cyclone travel-trailer siblings | Length | Sleeps | Dry (lb) | GVWR (lb) | CCC (lb) | Hitch (lb) | Fresh (gal) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cyclone 2214 | 28 ft 1 in | 4 | 7,445 | 11,700 | 4,255 | 1,045 | 106 |

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 17 recall campaigns and 65 owner complaints against the Cyclone line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 65 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are tires (45%), wheels (25%) and structure (11%).
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Cyclone line page.
