Wife & Husband RV Enthusiasts Modify Their Heartland Cyclone

    Heartland Recreational Vehicles recently put the spotlight on a pair of Cyclone toy hauler owners that made interior modifications to their camper to fit their lifestyle. Lisa Brown and her husband, Dan, purchased their Cyclone 4100 back in 2014, and while it served its purpose of hauling the couple’s two Harley-Davidson motorcycles well, Lisa wanted to make the living compartment more functional for longer-term stays. One example of a smaller change was switching out the globes on a pair of pendant lights to add character, but beyond that, Brown primarily focused on introducing clever storage solutions.

    Inner Space

    One of the biggest needs, according to Lisa, was to put in a new pantry to hold ingredient containers and food. The result is a pullout cabinet with four shelves, two of which are adjustable, with baskets for sorting items. The couple also added a shelving unit for holding cooking tools, napkins, and other items that fits neatly under the Cyclone’s slide-out cabinet and can be removed when the RV is in transit or not in use. The final change is a stemware rack installed above the kitchen island for holding wine and beer glasses.
