An RV Lifestyle Journey With The Proha Family

Meet the Proha Family, a family of 7 (and their dog Helen) pursuing a full-time RV lifestyle, enjoying and exploring the country together. They started their full-time RV lifestyle in April of 2018 when Brentt quit his corporate office job and sold their newly built home and 10 acres of land in Spokane, Washington. After packing up their life they purchased their first Heartland RV, a Mallard. After 2 years of traveling and remodeling their Mallard, they needed more space. After searching multiple floorplans and manufacturers, they chose the new Cyclone 4006.

"We are so excited to be staying with a company that stands for integrity, quality and has a real family feel. The people at Heartland have been so kind and helpful. They have taken our family in with open arms and we are so grateful to partner with a company that puts people first. Our plan this year is to explore the east coast history and boondock in Utah and Wyoming! We are excited to have a rig that is made for a full-time RV lifestyle."

Living in the all new cyclone 4006

The Proha's new unit is fully loaded with features, such as a king bed tilt slide system, outside kitchen, 7" Tall slide outs with oversized windows, and loft in the garage, to name a few.

"We love the 4006 floorplan because even though we live tiny we LOVE to entertain friends on the road. This gives us the ability to entertain comfortably with the adjacent slides!"
