01 What Cyclone is
Cyclone is Heartland's premium toy hauler, built in Elkhart, Indiana and sold as two separate lines that share no floorplan codes: three fifth wheels from 41 to 47 feet, and three travel trailers from 28 to 35 feet. Heartland RV has been part of Thor Industries since 2010 and was moved under Jayco, Inc. in March 2025. The line's case is equipment and honesty about weights, and it makes both well.
Every Cyclone ships with two mandatory packages, and between them they cover most of what a toy-hauler buyer actually shops for. Ramp and Cargo Equipment brings 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, HappiJac® electric-lift queen beds with convertible sofas, LED high-intensity ramp lighting, ram air vents and a powered roof vent. The fifth wheels add a 3-season locking garage wall, a rear loft ladder, a lift-assisted weatherproof anti-skid ramp door, a powder-coated aluminum patio kit and D-rings rated to a 5,000-pound minimum breaking load. Camping in Comfort brings 106 gallons of fresh water and a 60,000-BTU on-demand tankless water heater across the line, plus — on the fifth wheels — three high-efficiency Soft Start air conditioning units, a 17-cubic-foot 12-volt black glass refrigerator, 60-pound LP bottles and solid surface countertops; the trailers get a 13,500-BTU air conditioner and a glass-front 12-volt refrigerator.
Two things distinguish Cyclone from the Grand Design Momentum it cross-shops, and they cut in opposite directions. In Cyclone's favour: the weights are published complete and tie out exactly. Heartland gives GVWR, dry weight, hitch weight and cargo carrying capacity per plan, and dry plus cargo equals GVWR to the pound on all five plans that have weights — so nothing on these pages is derived and nothing carries an asterisk. Momentum publishes no cargo field at all, so its payload has to be calculated. Against Cyclone: Heartland publishes no garage length — not for one plan, not on either brand page, not anywhere. Grand Design publishes one for all 28 Momentum floorplans. If garage dimensions decide your purchase, that absence is Heartland's, and this catalog will not fill it with a guess.
02 Floorplans profiled in depth
Five of the six MY2027 floorplans are profiled in full — all three fifth wheels and both travel trailers that carry published weights.
| Floorplan | Type | Dry wt | GVWR | Cargo (CCC) | Length | Notable · MSRP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cyclone · 3 floorplans | ||||||
| 3511 | 5W | 13,875 lbs | 17,800 lbs | 3,925 lbs | 41 ft 2 in | Entry fifth wheel — lightest pin of the three, 3 Soft Start A/C units · $116,618 |
| 3913 | 5W | 15,435 lbs | 21,000 lbs | 5,565 lbs | 46 ft 5 in | Most cargo capacity in the family — 5,565 lbs on three axles, sleeps eight · $129,368 |
| 3914 | 5W | 15,970 lbs | 21,000 lbs | 5,030 lbs | 46 ft 11 in | The longest Cyclone — sleeps eight, heaviest pin, 535 lbs less cargo than the 3913 · $130,118 |
| Cyclone Travel Trailer · 3 floorplans | ||||||
| 2214 | TT | 7,445 lbs | 11,700 lbs | 4,255 lbs | 28 ft 1 in | Entry Cyclone — smallest and cheapest in the family, lightest tongue · $64,868 |
| 2615 | TT | 8,640 lbs | 13,250 lbs | 4,610 lbs | 34 ft 8 in | The larger trailer — most cargo of the two, no published base price · — |
Every figure is Heartland's own MY2027 factory value, captured 15 July 2026. Dry weight plus cargo carrying capacity equals GVWR exactly on all five plans — nothing in this table is derived and nothing carries an asterisk. There is no garage column because Heartland publishes no garage length for any Cyclone floorplan, on any surface; the column is absent rather than estimated. Slide counts are omitted for the same reason: the factory's field is unpopulated on all six plans and the number appears nowhere else. The 2615 carries no base price — Heartland's own model card publishes zero for it. Real loaded pin and tongue weights run well above the factory dry figures once a garage is loaded.
03 Also in the MY2027 line
One floorplan is catalogued without weights, because the factory publishes none for it.
| Floorplan | Type | Length | Dry | GVWR | Cargo | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2816 | TT | — | — | — | — | 4 |
The 2816 appears on Heartland's MY2027 travel-trailer page with a length and a sleeping capacity, but its GVWR, dry weight, hitch weight and cargo capacity all read N/A. With no cardinal weight published and no way to derive one, it is catalogued here rather than profiled — a floorplan page carrying four em-dashes where the tow-critical numbers belong would be worse than none. Its row stands so that a reader searching the code finds an honest account of what the factory publishes, rather than silence. The trade catalogs' MY2027 Cyclone record does not carry the 2816 or the 2615 at all; Heartland's own page carries both, and the factory governs here.
04 How to choose
The split is tow vehicle first. The travel trailers are bumper-pull: the 2214 is the entry at 28 feet and 11,700 pounds of GVWR with a 1,045-pound dry tongue and 4,255 pounds of published cargo — the cheapest way into a Cyclone garage. The 2615 stretches to 35 feet with the most cargo of the two at 4,610 pounds and a 1,270-pound tongue, but Heartland publishes no base price for it, so you will be negotiating from a dealer number rather than a placard.
The fifth wheels are all one-ton conversations loaded. The 3511 is the entry at 41 feet, sleeping six on a 17,800-pound GVWR with the family's lightest pin at 2,960 pounds and 3,925 pounds of cargo. The 3913 is the one that carries the most: 5,565 pounds of published cargo capacity on a 21,000-pound GVWR, sleeping eight, on three axles — and the third axle is why its pin only rises 285 pounds over the 3511's for 3,200 more pounds of GVWR. The 3914 is the longest at nearly 47 feet on the same 21,000-pound GVWR, but six inches of extra length costs it 535 pounds of cargo against the 3913 and adds 185 pounds to the pin. If the 3914's layout is the one you want, the trade is fair; if it is not, the 3913 carries more for less.
05 What to weigh before buying
The weights are published complete — which is rarer than it should be
Heartland gives GVWR, dry weight, hitch weight and cargo carrying capacity for every Cyclone with weights, and dry plus cargo equals GVWR exactly on all five. Nothing on these pages is derived, estimated or flagged. That is worth something concrete when you are budgeting a garage: the cargo figure is the manufacturer's own statement of what the trailer will carry, not this catalog's arithmetic. The Grand Design Momentum it cross-shops publishes no cargo field at all — its payload has to be calculated from GVWR minus dry weight.
No garage length is published — anywhere in the line
Heartland publishes garage features in detail — D-rings, the Tuff-Ply liner, the ramp door, the 3-season wall — but no garage dimension, on any of the six plans or either brand page. This catalog omits the row rather than estimate it or borrow a competitor's figure. If garage length is what decides your purchase, the Momentum plans profiled here publish theirs on all 28 floorplans, and that is a legitimate reason to shop them alongside a Cyclone.
Dry pin and tongue weights are floors, not figures
Dry pins here run from 1,045 to 3,430 pounds. A loaded toy hauler's real hitch weight runs well above the dry number — and the mandatory 30-gallon fuel tank alone is roughly 180 pounds of fuel at about six pounds a gallon, with 106 gallons of fresh water another 880 or so on top. Weigh the loaded unit and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle rating, not just its tow rating.
