    Houston RV Show

    Went down to the 2015 show today and looked at some possible full time rigs for down the road in a few years.... planning the ESCAPE! Comments: I looked at Big Country and Landmark. I like both. Specifically - I like the Key West Landmark and the BC3900FLP. The model at the show does not...

    Coach heater and main AC cycle on together

    Hey folks, I am guessing this is posted on here some where, but I have not had the chance to run my heater on the Cyclone 3010 until recently. When the heat comes on... so does the main cabin AC unit. I am plugged into shore power and have not tried it unplugged.... any guesses as to...

    So what are your temperature limits for camping in your trailer?

    Wondering where you go and where you stay. Living this far south, if I book hotels over the school breaks, I generally choose Wolf Creek as it always has snow over Christmas. Where do you go and what campgrounds? Also, I guess if you pull north -- do you have to winterize for the transit...

    2013 Ram Mega or Crew Cab?

    I have a 2012 SRW Mega. My hitch is not a slider and I have not come anywhere close on tight turns. However, if ground is not level or trying to u turn on a narrow 2 lane... probably would not be as comfortable. Room in the back for three teenage girls is great. We also have a 20# mutt that...

    ATF: Cyclone - LED lights on awnings cyclones?

    The awning lights are very nice. We were complimented -- even by cyclone owners that now want a retrofit. Enjoy them!

    Cyclone 4100? TV?

    I am pulling with a Ram Mega and no slider hitch. So far, I have not come close to contacting truck to trailer. But I watch very carefully when turning and backing. Where I think you would hit the only limitation is if you found yourself on a narrow two lane road and due to some unforeseen...

    San Antonio camp grounds

    We spent a week at Blazing Star RV Resort. It is a full service RV park with many cottages. It is also on the military side of town, right by sea world. http://www.sunrvresorts.com/Community/BST.aspx Many full timers and many just passing through. The cottages looked very nice... kind of...

    Shake Down - Finally

    Thanks for the note. I did not run it last week. I ran it at PDI and once at storage, but for ~5 minutes or less. I have filled the fuel cell and stabilized. I plan to break in the genny when at a more remote campground. So 1/2 load sounds like run the coach AC and 3/4 means turn the...

    Shake Down - Finally

    Shake down complete. Ram 3500 pulled the trailer no problem between Hou and SAT. Cruised I-10 at 70 mph on cruise control with no issues. The pin weight is a bit heavy for a SRW, I want to upgrade to a DRW -- but this trip proved to me that my truck handles the trailer just fine. The unit...

    Shake Down - Finally

    Safety alert: For those that have had toyhaulers with happy jack beds, get ready to chuckle. I am guessing that during the PDI, the tech told us that we needed to run the lower bunk up, prior to pulling the keepers on the upper bunk. I found the missing keeper mentioned below in the far...

    Shake Down - Finally

    So far shakedown is going well. No water leaks after being on city for about 24 hours. Got cable working in living room, but not master bedroom through either connection. Question - what does the button that makes the red light on the cable outlet do? Guessing antenna booster, but makes no...

    Shake Down - Finally

    I booked the Blazing Star -- it has real good reviews, but looks like a sardine package from the satellite view. I sprung for the high dollar site so hoping for shade and a little space. We have stayed in several KOAs and so far all positive experiences. I may try the SAT KOA next time we...

    Shake Down - Finally

    Dear Forum Friends, The good Lord willing and the creek don't rise, we will go on our first trip this next week. We ordered the trailer in Feb, brought it home in May and have had it in storage since. We will pull from Cypress to San Antonio this weekend and will be in a park for 7 days. I...

    Trip / Route Planning Input for Louisiana to Seattle Trek this summer

    I have been on some of those trails. I pulled Monarch last summer as well as Slumgullion and Wolf Creek. --- Ram 350 and 10k 5er was no sweat. You mentioned 141... did you mean 114? I have driven that a while back and do not remember any serious passes but if that is the road I remember...
