    What type of Truck is Needed for 2019 Cyclone 4200

    Reed, My only concern would be capacity of the rear tires on a SRW. We had a SRW, all the numbers were well within specs (similar to what you have done) and the rig towed beautifully, even did a 3-month trip cross country from east to west and back. Then at the National Rally in Urbanna, VA...

    New to 5th Wheels

    Agree with Santa, while most first time buyers don't go to this expense, I feel a lot of frustration could be avoided if they had a professional inspection/maintenance been done the first time around. JMHO

    Cold weather and my Sundance

    We camped in similar conditions with our 2012 Sundance 2900MK. I did add a drop light behind the basement wall over the water pump. We didn't have any problems.

    Morryde vs Lippert Entry Steps

    We purchased the MorRyde solid step at the Elkhart National Rally, really loved them. Several folks tested what we had and ordered them for their own camper. Then it hit me, I wouldn't be able to deploy them when the camper was in the RV Garage. After talking to Gary Wheeler, they took back...

    Heater problem......

    My nephew had a similar problem and ended up replacing the batteries. When he went to change out the batteries, he realized the original batteries were almost dry. It seems he hadn't checked the water level because he was told they were maintenance free. He may have needed new batteries...

    2017 F350 headlights blinding other drivers

    I agree with the OP, I had airbags on my last truck and while it did improve the handling when towing, they definitely stiffened the ride to the point DW didn't like the truck. I can only assume the reason for the harsher ride was the need to leave at least 5 lbs in the bags so you didn't...

    B&w hitch install GMC 3500

    I used the setup that came from B&W for my Companion hitch and it was right on. When measuring the frame to ground, only had 3/4" difference from front to rear. I have a 2015 Silverado 3500 CC DRW and 8' bed.

    Larry, We were hoping to join your rally, but the stars weren't in alignment. We want to visit Branson next spring and like to know how the campground your using for the rally is? Good luck on the rally!

    Lowe's Military Discount Policy

    I wish I could say I had the same luck with HD, but I have had problems with the HD store at home, Orlando, FL and Florissant, MO. None of them questioned my retired ID, the check-out register would not apply the discount. The manager would have to be called to do a manual override. I have...

    Lowe's Military Discount Policy

    Was at Lowe's today, showed my ID and was informed of the new policy. Didn't have time today to fill out the application, but since Lowe's is my second home, will do it tomorrow. :)
