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.

Drawn by this site from the verified figures above, never traced from a manufacturer drawing; a graphic is left out where its figure is not published. Full record: dataset.
What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
Truck tow ratings are not listed: one model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The loaded range is the 10–15% tongue-weight convention for travel trailers, applied to this plan’s 11,700 lb GVWR, not a measurement of this unit. Hitch class is not used as a rating (SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR); read the rating stamped on your hitch.
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
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 106-gallon fresh tank is roughly 21% of the 4,255-pound cargo capacity, leaving the 2214 with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 4,255 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (106 gal × 8.34 lb) | −884 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 3,371 lb | 21% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 843 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 4 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry tongue weight of 1,045 pounds is 14% of the 7,445-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 11,700-pound GVWR the 2214 is towing 4,255 pounds more than its 7,445-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 106 gallons of fresh against 74 grey and 37 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Of the 5 Cyclone floorplans profiled here, the 2214 is the lightest by GVWR at 11,700 pounds — the entry point to the line and the one most likely to suit a vehicle already at its limit.
Either side of it in the same line: Cyclone 2615 is 1,550 pounds heavier at 13,250 lb GVWR.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2214 | 11,700 | 7,445 | 4 | 28 ft 1 in |
| Eagle 294CKBS | 11,700 | 9,660 | 4 | 37 ft 11 in |
| Roamer Travel Trailer 29RLTS | 11,700 | 9,485 | — | 37 ft 11 in |
| Seismic 214 | 11,700 | 7,445 | 6 | — |
| Wolf Pack 27-12.5 | 11,690 | 8,988 | — | 38 ft 6 in |
| Puma Vista 37PFL | 11,749 | 9,749 | — | 40 ft 0 in |
| Vengeance Rogue 28SUT | 11,645 | 8,093 | — | 34 ft 6 in |
Against the 2214: the Eagle 294CKBS is 10 ft longer; the Roamer Travel Trailer 29RLTS is 10 ft longer; the Seismic 214 sleeps 2 more. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.
Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.
For scale, the Cyclone floorplans profiled here run 7,445 to 15,970 pounds dry and 28 to 47 feet of exterior length across 5 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.
Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Cyclone line hub.
08 Common questions about the 2214
How much does the 2214 weigh?
Its published dry weight is 7,445 lb and its GVWR is 11,700 lb, so 4,255 lb separates the empty trailer from its rated maximum. By GVWR it is the lightest of the 5 Cyclone floorplans profiled here that publish a GVWR (11,700 lb to 21,000 lb). Size the tow vehicle to the 11,700 lb figure, not the dry one.
How much can the 2214 carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 4,255 lb, 36% of the GVWR. Across the 958 travel trailers on this site that publish both figures, the median share is 23%, so this plan sits 14 points above the median. A full 106-gallon fresh tank is about 884 lb of it (21%), because federal rule counts on-board water as cargo (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2). The yellow cargo-capacity label inside your own trailer’s entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3) states the figure for that unit as delivered, options included, and it is the one that binds.
What is the tongue weight of the 2214?
The published dry tongue weight is 1,045 lb, 14% of the dry weight. Across the 1,148 travel trailers on this site that publish both figures, the median dry tongue share is 12%, so this plan sits 2 points above the median. Loaded, it changes with where the cargo sits, and it is carried by the tow vehicle’s payload, not its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the 2214 need?
A tow rating of at least 11,700 lb, this floorplan’s GVWR, plus enough payload for the tongue load, passengers and cargo. The dry tongue weight alone takes 1,045 lb of that payload before anything is loaded. Payload is printed on the tire and loading placard on the tow vehicle’s driver-side door pillar (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3); this site lists no truck ratings because they vary by build.
How many people does the 2214 sleep?
It is rated to sleep 4. 3 of the 5 Cyclone floorplans profiled here that publish a count are rated for more. Rated positions include convertible furniture.
What are the tank capacities on the 2214?
Fresh 106 gallons, grey 74 gallons, black 37 gallons. The smallest of the three is the black tank, at 37 gallons. Combined waste capacity is 111 gallons.
How long is the 2214?
Exterior length is 28 ft 1 in. That makes it the shortest of the 5 Cyclone floorplans profiled here that publish an exterior length (28 ft 1 in to 46 ft 11 in). Check it against campsite and storage length; the exterior figure includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not
Named sources publish 16 of the 18 specification fields this catalogue tracks for the 2214 (97% complete on the full field set).
Not published for this floorplan: slide count, refrigerator. Those rows are left blank rather than copied from a sibling floorplan.
Sourcing rules: methodology.
11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Cyclone line, and NHTSA holds 17 recall campaigns and 65 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
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%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Cyclone line page.
