I saw on the Cyclone brochure mentioning they also have 2" foam wall. Fuzion and Cyclone are really matching up each others' specs in many areas.

Yeah, it's the roof, floor and slideout walls where you need to look!

Lakeshore RV has one of these that can be bought for 35K, Mine has several other options ended up at 37. Closest dealer in CA told me he would order it for 45. But I could buy one on his lot for 42,5K that was exactly like the Lakeshore unit.

The Lakeshore guys are great imo. They just didn't have what I wanted in stock. I bought in Ohio at Dave Arbogast and he met their price and they were pretty good to deal with other then I think they needed to do more on the PDI.
Or...cut to the chase with this. Haha

We think we are going to custom order a rig from Heartland through our friend in Ohio and see if they can get a good price for us.
Has anyone here bought any Cyclone or Fuzion from the RV Wholesalers (RVW)? They claim that their price is too low to be shown on the website. But most dealers don't show prices on the latest models on their websites anyways.
My husband and I are also going to schedule a factory tour at the Heartland factory in Elkhart next week. See if Heartland can answer some questions for us, such as if they can put the garage flooring through the rest of the interior of the RV. We love that material!

I dealt with RV Wholesalers while dealing with Holman's, Lakeshore, National RV, and Dave Arbogast.
None of them could hang with Lakeshores pricing, but I ended up buying at Arbogast due to them having it in stock versus ordering through Lakeshore. The people at RV Wholesalers were not nearly as nice to us.

Oh, wow. This is nice to know~ I might call Lakeshores to see what kind of pricing they can get us then. We like to bring business to our friend since he helped us started with our first rig, but it still won't hurt to shop around to get the best pricing.

I think Lakeshore advertises they are the largest Cyclone dealer in the country. That translates to buying power when trying to get something "unique" from a manufacturer, but Heartland seems to be pretty agreeable from what I've heard. I doubt you'll have issues. I'm sure peoples mileage will vary though.
Time to start callin' is all.

It turns out that our friend is a Heartland, but not a Cyclone dealer, so he won't be able to order one for us.
So, we are going to give the big dealers lists by ya'll here a call with a list of features we want, and see who can get us one with a good price.
Thanks again for all the great information. I think we have decided to go with Heartland Cyclone 3010. Just the matter of finding one that has most of the features we want.

J2,
If you go on the Heartland forum to Cyclone area there is an Ask the factory thread monitored by the Cyclone GM, really nice guy. Ask him the changes you were thinking of and he'll let you know if it's doable on the line and how to note them on the order sheet.
