Like Jim says...they are available. We have them on our 2009 Cyclone 4012. I don't recall what they cost, but I think that option was about $1500 (probably varies by Cyclone dealer). They were not listed on the option but the factory rep at tthe show told us about them and we ordered ours with...

Glad to see a new SoCal rally in the planning. DW and kids may be able to make it out to Vegas in September. I'll know more in the comming weeks...it's the busy season for us firefighters. I may not be allowed to travel that far. And, the fuel costs be ****ed! The oil companys be ****ed too! A...

There are lots of posts on RV.NET as well about this issue. A properly equiped F350 can legally tow the 4012. There is no F250 or 2500 of any kind anywhere that can safely and legally tow the 4012 in any state. The 4012 starts with a GVWR of 18K. My 2009 4012 dry, is in the 14K range. If I see...

Which model Cyclone?

nonconwud, Just like fire engines with water tanks on board which hook up to a fire hydrant for more water... RV systems are similar. There is an inline "flapper valve" (not the techical term) which is in essence a backflow device that prevent this from happening. Without getting into the...

Hi htneighbors, If you have the Trail-Air or Mor-Ride the cover will not work/fit. My 09 came with the Trail Air, so no cover. The unit sitting next to mine (also a 09) did have a cover, but no air hitch). Rock On... PS: Nice set up!

We were in a similar boat...looking for as many seats as possible. I think the closest you will come in a light duty truck is the Dodge 3500 Megacab (seats 6), or the Ford F-350 Crew Cab (seats 6). If you opt for the Chevy or GMC (unless you get the very base stripped down, base model) you will...

Congrates! We purchased our 09 Cyclone from ClovisRV as well. We were very satisfied with how they treated us. And, even though we ordered our unit almost six months prior to its arrival (we had to finish our driveway), they kept their word on everything they promised us. Glad to hear you...

I have found that just about every saleperson (does not matter what brand) will say just about anything, anytime, anywhere and anyhow to make a sale...escpecially on a unit that is sitting on their lot. Though I am very happy with the dealer and salesperson I purchased my 4012 from, I did call...

I saw one a few months ago with Cherry Cabinets and Solid Surface Countertops. So far, I have come to believe if you ask for something different and are willing to pay for it, it can and will be done. I did not see Thermopane windows as an option on the Cyclone...but, I asked for it and got...

Lots of great info on RV.NET...I just would not believe everything you read as everyone has opinions....and me too;) I was concerned, just like you, untill I did my own research. Some of the facts: *These frame failures were about 1%...industrywide. *Some of these "failures" were simple...

Sounds great... We will be 5 adults, and 5 kids (6, 5, 4, 3, 2), (+ 1 baby) in two RVs. 6, 4, 2, and baby are ours, the other two are nieces. We can make a big Greek Salad and a desert called "Very, Very Good." It really is very, very good...and good for the joints because it has Jello in...

Regular Gell Cells may not always the best answer either. If you use 12 volt batteries, AGM may be a better choice. When I pick up my new 4012 this week, the first thing being installed will be Optima group 31 Blue-Top AGM Batteries. Maybe you're refering to these already... Here's an...

Anyone know how much the cost?

I agree with Bob & Patty, My last truck was a 04 2500 Dodge Cummins 4X4 Quad Cab with all the extra towing stuff...very simlar to your GM truck. My new trailer is Cyclone 4012...not much more than the 3712. Right off the bat the 3712 is about 12K pounds dry...that's just about your max...
