    Axle flip for my 2014 North Trail 28BRS, can i do it myself?

    Flipping axles is not hard, I've done it on 3 of my prior TT's. I bought new spring perches at the local RV supply and welded them on. I have heard that Dexter makes a no-weld bolt on kit, but I have no experience with it. Just be very safe in how you block up your trailer before removing the...

    Pocket Hose ( hose that grows)

    We got one at Home Depot two weeks ago for the backyard. It was very convient until it burst yesterday. I'll be taking it back today. I know we have only 60 psi because I installed the pressure reducer.

    Desert shoot-o-rama

    Went to the desert near Quartzsite over the long weekend with a few friends. We had some of those bleeding zombie targets and set up a pistol course through a wash to practise 'Mozambique' drills. Wasn't real impressed with the zombies, but it was kind of interesting shooting at 3D bodies...

    Turn off water when away

    We usually turn everything off when we leave our Cyclone in storage. Got lazy as we were coming back in 4 days. Came back to find a leak had developed in the connection at the toilet supply. Water ran behind the toilet, down the wall, out under the cabinet near the fuse and breaker boxes, soaked...

    Wierd experience with GFCI and Charger

    This problem may not apply to those of you with stock chargers, but it was definately weird. We replaced our charger with a Tripp-Lite inverter/charger/converter when we bought our Cyclone, 3 years until now trouble free. Started up the genny to charge the batteries and a few other items and...

    Drivers side regulator leaking

    Thanks for all the advice. Did a quick internet search and found that a regulator for a turkey fryer should do the trick. Regulates down to 10lb, has the right threads so I wont need any adapters.Got it at my local Home Depot for less than $20. At that price I can put a another in the spare...

    Drivers side regulator leaking

    The red regulator on my driver side propane line is leaking. No one local has one. The service guy at my local independent repair place says I dont need it. What say you? What purpose does this serve? Can I just replumb the lines without it or should I keep searching for a replacement? Last...

    RW 305 Kitchen Cabinet

    We did ours also. Decided to build a slide out rack for our pots and pans. We were going to order a door like Duane but DW decided to build a door from some wood we had. We had to move the water lines a little and added a new divider to seperate the plumbing from the rack. Everything is easily...

    Will a RZR 800S fit in a 10ft cyclone garage?

    Our teryx is 114" and it fits, just a few inches to spare. Like Duane said about the glass door, be careful. After we got our tiedowns worked out, we pull in and stop several feet from the door and rig the pre-adjusted front stoppers. Then we drive in the rest of the way till they are tight. We...

    No shore or Gen power, it seems

    Could be several things. When the genny is on, do any plugs power anything you plug in? If not, check the front of the genny, pull off the cover and you will find 2 breakers. check that they are on. The transfer switch and converter should be behind the panels in the basement. If the screws are...

    How do you tie your Power Inverter into a Cyclone 4012 Toy Hauler?

    Re: Confused That sounds like an easy option. I looked at Gopower before I did our system, they were more expensive back then and I did alot better buying the seperate parts myself. Gotta love competition for sales. As to powering your entire trailer, you have a 220 volt main panel while the...

    How do you tie your Power Inverter into a Cyclone 4012 Toy Hauler?

    Re: Confused If you dont have an inverter yet, you need to think and plan what you want to power and how sophisticated a system you want. From a simple inverter with an extension cord or 2 running through the coach or just turn a switch and have power to some existing recepticles there is a...

    Loading Polaris in Road Warrior Garage?

    Was able to check our Cyclone. We now have 79" headroom when the bunk is all the way up.

    Loading Polaris in Road Warrior Garage?

    We had to remove the top bunk to fit our Tyrex. Trailer is at storage so i cant measure it right away, but we fit with several inches to spare after the removal. It was several years ago so I dont quite remember the exact process. I do remember that it was fairly fast and easy, just looked at it...

    Easyflex question

    One side at a time is how I did mine. No problem at all. I left it hitched to the truck so as to not stress the landing gear. I have good jacks and jackstands, just be safe, thats a lot of weight.
