We picked up our two new recliners by Best Home Furnishings on 11/30/17 and we love them. Excellent construction and quality. We splurged and got power recliners with power headrests. Next up is to purchase an ottoman with some storage for inbetween the recliners and replace the TV tables. Susan

I can't thank you enough for posting the info on Best Home Furnishings! We visited Lambright's and several others in the Elkhart IN area and we ordered two power space saver recliners from Best with the power neck as well and we could not be happier with our purchase! First class furniture...

Thanks we just looked and sat in the Can Am Maverick this week and we really like it. Still in research stage, so no purchase yet. Susan

Congratulations and welcome to the club! Hope you are as happy with yours as we are with ours, since we are fulltimers in our 3611JS! Wonderful lifestyle. Susan

We live fulltime in our 3611JS and we are looking to purchase a side by side as well. We are looking at the 50" wide units just in case we opt to downsize someday as a 50" will fit in the bed of our pickup! We got hooked last summer when we were in Custer, SD and we rented them twice! We...

We live fulltime in our 3600JS and at first I missed having the extra storage under the bed like we had in our Big Horn. Then when I realized that one side of the bed frame compresses when the slideout comes in I understood why we had no under the bed storage. We use the single drawer to keep...

I may be wrong, but I believe the Big Country and Big Horn 5th wheels do not have the same bed platform as the toy haulers do. In our 3611JS Cyclone one side of the bed platform moves into the bed (best way I know how to describe it) when the slide with the closet comes in. Hence this is why...

Hi Brad....the happy jacks are the two "couches" that fold down to a bed in the garage. Removing the queen bed in the garage, which we would never use, unblocks the garage AC unit as well, plus less weight for traveling. Gary is very familar with the balance item you shared, he used it once...

Thanks for sharing your modifications/updates with us. Do you have any photos of the king to queen bed modification that you could post? We live full time in our 3611 so under the bed storage would be nice providing we watch our overall weight of our rig. Not sure how you accomplished this...

Congratulations! Please share with us how your breakin period goes! Also what modifications you may add to your new beauty! Enjoy. Susan

We live fulltime in our Cyclone 3611JS and while we love our RV we are not fans of the couch it came with. There are just 2 of us and we only sit on the end recliners. So this summer while we were workamping we decided to remove the two inner seats and gave them to a friend. Now we have more...

Thank you for the link we are avid followers of Lee & Tracy's Camper Chronicles blog. We even visited the two places they talk about in this blog entry. Each person has to make their own decisions regarding their budget, comfort and when and where to purchase whether it is an RV or replacement...

We second the previous poster's recommendation of Best Home Furnishings. Top quality made furniture and numerous fabric selections. Their web site is very informative, even with short video's of construction. They have many options including space saver, manual, power headrest, in addition to...

Thanks so much for sharing Best Home Furnishings with all of us! Home run with us as well. After reading your post we started our research process. We visited furniture stores in Rapid City to sit and touch and feel Best Home Furnishings quality and products. We visited customer furniture...

We live full time in our Cyclone 3611JS which is a toyhauler with a slide within a slide in the living area. With that being said the couch sits up on a raised platform that is in the slide. We really dislike the couch, both pull lever chords for the recliners have frayed and broken in just...

Thanks Gary has been actively researching just that and there is a shop here locally in Ocala, FL that we are looking into. The additional question is, what are the chances of the problem reoccurring and is it worth the expense to go to independent suspension ILO fixed axles. At least we have...

We have a 2017 Cyclone 3611JS and the exact same thing just happened to us on our trip home to Florida from spending the summer out west in South Dakota workamping. When we left SD the tires were in excellent condition. When we left Elkhart, Indiana we noticed the wear on the outside only of...

FYI not sure when you plan on visiting Mt. Rushmore; we have been in Custer, SD since April 2017 workamping and the season is winding down. Many campgrounds close for the winter months and many attractions have reduced their hours of operation since Labor Day. There are a few campgrounds that...

Welcome to the Heartland Club...great group of folks here with lots of wonderful information. Safe travels Susan & Gary

Town Park at Wilderness RV in Silver Springs, FL is our home. We have several RV friends there for the summer and we have been in touch with them constantly. They survived the storm, never lost power, they have no water, as the well pump went out prior to the storm. All are safe and sound and...

We love our 3611JS, we live full time in it, but the sofa has got to go! Looking for information from anyone who may have replaced furniture in a slide in a slide. We prefer two recliners over the 4-section sofa. The current sofa is bolted to the slide, so I am guessing the new furniture...

Thanks for all the great information! We have a Cyclone 3611JS, which has the double slide in the sofa area. We are looking to replace the sofa (it is not comfortable) with 2 recliners. Question, our current sofa is bolted to the floor, do you know if this furniture has the same capabilities...

A bit off topic, but just in case you aren't aware, Sept the temperatures will be cooling off! We are workamping this summer in Custer, SD, we arrived here from Florida on April 22nd and will be here until first part of October. We had snow 3 times between end of April and May and freezing...

Hi everyone, need some assistance. We want to remove the 4 seat sofa in our Cyclone 3611JS and replace with 2 recliners. Any ideas or suggestions on where we can find a reputable supplier. We are spending the summer in Custer, SD so I was thinking maybe we could stop some where in RV country...

Thanks Erika, that's the type of info I am looking for! Susan

By far Maine is a favorite of ours. Highly recommend Acadia National Park and drive up Cadillac Highway, unbelievable views from the top. Bar Harbor Boothbay is a must especially if you like Maine lobster. We stayed at KOA right on the water for our visit to Acadia and we loved this...

We have this refrig in our 2017 Cyclone and had a similar situation. We repaired it ourselves. This was not something we discovered during our shakedown, but after we were on the road. IMO poor QC at the factory. Susan & Gary

We had the exact same thing happen in our 2017 Cyclone last summer while workamping. Thank heavens Gary is Mr. Fix It and made the repairs himself and now our sink will never again fall out! IMO it is a losing battle to expect good QC on RV's. We had several minor issues with our brand new...

Looking for info on where to purchase RV recliners. We want to remove the 4 seat couch and replace with 2 recliners in our Cyclone. Thanks Susan & Gary

We drove in the rain the other day for the first time. When we stopped for the day we noticed wet carpet in the double slide in the living area opposite the fireplace, just above the wheel area. The wood underneath the carpet was visibly wet as well. We were able to dry out overnight with the...

We have a 2017 Cyclone 3611JS and we had this happen to us for the first time this week. First time driving in rain and when we stopped for the day we noticed that the carpet trim on the double slide out was wet only in the area above the wheels. It was easy to see the "wet" areas on the...

Welcome to the forum, this is a great place for information. We are full timers living in our Cyclone 3611 JS. Are you going to be fulltime or is this future purchase for a vacations and weekends? One consideration to keep in mind is weight. Plus length of the rig for access to RV sites...

We have a 3611 and we are full timers. We used a Condor chock SC-2000 with removable mounting brackets. The chock was installed on the left side of the garage in front of the SGD. Part of the underside of the garage is open the other had to have the cloroplast dropped down for access. We...

We are fulltimers, Florida residents and YES we own an RV lot in Silver Springs, FL at Wilderness RV Resort and it serves as our primary residence. We have homestead on the property as well. We purchased the lot when we sold our home, after we had been coming to the same campground for many...

Hi everyone. Gary & I attended the RV Show in Tampa on Wednesday, January 18th. We arrived prior to gates opening at 9 am. We have regularly attended this show since 08. We both feel that the Show has outgrown the location and this year we noticed several changes that IMO were not positive...

Thank you!

We added a stair rail in our 3611JS Cyclone and it is so sturdy you could do pull ups on this! We purchased from Amazon because this was the only reasonably priced 12" grab bar of quality that we could locate. I have attached a couple of photos. Now I no longer have to put my hands on the...

We also added 3 new shelves in our pantry closet. We ordered the shelves from Heartland $20 each plus shipping. Note: the rear wall of the pantry is not level top to bottom, it is sloped so the shelves we received from Heartland had to be trimmed. I wanted one shelf to be for spices and I am...

We also looked at this at the Tampa RV show in January 16. While it is nice, I truly felt that Gary would not be happy with such a small "man cave" space and I'm not sure just how much walkaround room there would be in the "garage" with our Gold Wing loaded in there. We opted for a new Cyclone...

We replaced our mattress wit the Bamboo Gel 13" mattress by Brentwood Home, RV King purchased from Amazon. We've had it for over a year and we still love it and wake up with no aches and pains......great mattress. We opted for the 13" ILO 11" because we are both BIG! Susan
