Me and the wife have been thinking a TH for sometime now. We were also going to buy a boat but decided against it since my daughter is only 7 months old and is unable to take care of her self in the water. So after going from a 15k budget to blowing that out of the water we bought a new one.
My Dad is (was my salesmen) a salesmen at Camping World in Katy, Tx. Matter of fact he has been there longer then any other person at that location as he was working there before they even built that store.
Originally we were looking at a Voltage but after reading reviews and talking more with my dad we decided against the Dutchman to buy a Heartland. Cyclone just seemed like the obvious choice in Toy Haulers. Not because of the brand but becasue of the Titanium editions that they sell. Well the whole Two models that they have to choice from. Oh, The voltage that we were looking at did not have the head height in the garage also.
The longer front makes to much since to me. I have a 38ft trailer that pulls like a 33ft trailer. I have a 38ft trailer that has the same amount of space in the kitchen/living room as a 42ft trailer. And weights in dry at 11.7k with a pin weight of 2.9k. My only lack is the 10ft garage.
I am not sure why as I may not use it much but I love the Patio System for the garage door.
My Tow truck is a 07 Dodge Mega Cab that has been tweaked a bit under the hood. It makes Approximately 711hp at the wheels from the last Dyno about a year ago. Though I have toyed with the idea of selling it to buy something stock to gain the reliability out of it. The truck has been nothing but reliable but you never know when you are making this much power. But the wife shot me down.

Congrats on your new hauler. We've had a 370C for a little over a year. The Titanium nose-piece is definitely one of those ideas you wonder "why doesn't everyone do this?" I know Heartland has the patent rights though.
I will say this. Our experience with Heartland and our 370C has been one of the worst purchases we've ever been through. Multiple problems and poor customer service. But you will very likely see that our case has been an oddity. Most everyone here and on the Heartland Owners Forum have been well pleased with their purchases and dealing with Heartland. Best of luck with your RVing.

You know, My dad has been selling RV's for 8 years and he will tell you they all have issues. It is very common for brand new ones to have issues before they leave the lot, more times then not. Every brand has horror stories, it sucks but it happens. I just hope I got a good one.

Great pics and congrats!
Any way we can get a picture or two of that that front cap looks like on the inside? I like that extra space, but am not sure if that is the bed up there or what!

The bed tucks up into the front clip. The foot of the bed over hangs a little. You lose the under bed storage or well its about 1/4 the size of normal under the bed storage.
I am offshore at the moment so you may have to wait about three weeks for me to get the pictures
