    Cyclone Power Ramp door...?

    We ordered it on our 2812 also, it worked great but I don't think it would work well on the patio doors. Pulling from the one side caused a lot of torquing in the hinge when opening or closing. One on each side maybe but then how could you synchronize them.

    Please add leveling for Fifth Wheels also

    Thanks Gents, I really was spoiled by my 2812, I'm kicking myself for selling. I do want to say thanks to HL we loved it for 3 1/2 years and sold it for 82% of the original purchase price including sales tax. Routine maint, yes but nothing broke. The Ground Control was on my list but would...

    Please add leveling for Fifth Wheels also

    Hi all, Sold my Cyclone (massive withdrawals), time for a dedicated Fiver. We both really like the 2880 RLT floorplan it's the perfect size for us. I wish there was enough market for a 32' full profile. Since I don't have a VIN number any more I cant post to ask the factory so here goes. Why is...

    Does the rockcrawler ride in the Cyclone? What do you have? My son and I built an 87 YJ with a Cummins 4BTA in it among a ton of other stuff. Nothing but fun.

    Cyclone Carrying Capacity

    Another funny twist, my 2812 has 4540 lbs of CCC and I haul a 21 lb. wheelchair and a 42 lb. magnesium framed handcycle.

    Upgraded running gear

    Tony, Your work is what got me thinking about this. How many folks have complained about braking power with the big units? How about trim falling off due to ride quality? 35 years in aviation I totally understand Wt & Balance scenarios, it just strikes me funny that a premium product like a...

    Upgraded running gear

    Just saw your creating another "big twin" as I call them, 35' + unit on 2 axles. Why cant the Cyclones have an 8K / shocks and Goodyear G614 running gear package option like Landmark and Bighorn? I feel that counting on pin weight to make the numbers work concept lends cheapness to an otherwise...

    2812 going away??

    I love my 2011 2812 a few tweaks design wise and a foot in the bathroom length wise with a nicer shower and it would kill the other short haulers.

    A couple more fun ones

    It's a real plane, I just thought it was a fun picture as the Cyclone looked small. But it is the 2812. Great story, second flight in a previous X in 1997 we were going from Dallas to White Plains, one of the great things about the X is that FL 430 to 470 are real working altitudes for the...

    A couple more fun ones

    Please don't think I'm trying to show off, I have access to the hangar because I ran the Flt Dept. for 26 years before PPMS reared it's ugly head. The low angles of the pictures are from them being taken from my wheelchair, the Cyclone was also at the hangar to have Elkhart Tool and Die quad...

    A couple more fun ones

    Well the Cyclone came down to the airport to get a bath with DI water, gotta love having great tools. The F350 actually sits quite nicely with the 2812 the angle makes it look to be sagging. After the bath it spent the weekend drip drying with it's buddy.

    We removed them from our 2812 and like it. Please note that a razor or scraper will scratch the bronze coating on the windows. We used heat gun, mineral spirits, patience, a lot of patience. Let me say when there is a graphics issue it's probably is not adhesive related as it's tenacious. It...

    Considering ST235/85R tires for my Cyclone 3950

    Re: ATF: Cyclone - 85R tires i replaced my Towmax with Toyo HT with Tuff Duty load e LTs and could not be happier, The Cyclone is much more settled towing and tracks like it's on rails. 220.00 per tire at Les Schwab.

    30 amp to 50 amp

    We have a 2812 and it's perfect for us. The 100 gal of fresh is not as much of an issue as the Grey of 46. I live in Ca and was not impressed with the way the Stealth's are screwed together compared to the 2812. The single 15 handles the smaller size of the 2812 pretty well with a Fantastic fan...
