    Ordered a Cyclone 4000 Today

    Yours should be here any day now. Do they keep you updated on the progress of the order or do they just call you when it gets here? I was told 6-8 weeks. I was hoping for closer to 6 :) Did you get yours with the wood door into the garage?

    Ordered a Cyclone 4000 Today

    We are in the middle of the most serious drought I can remember as an adult. Where I live they turn our irrigation water off in October since we are well into the rain season by then. This year it has rained one time since they turned the water off and that was about two weeks ago. Scary stuff...

    Sony surround sound system

    In my SOB trailer I used a Samsung "Home Theater in a Box". It came with speakers, that I didn't use, but it was a direct replacement for the all in one DVD player. It has a 5.1 receiver and blu ray player. I think I paid $250-$300 at Best Buy last summer. I will be taking it out and putting...

    Ordered a Cyclone 4000 Today

    Thanks, Scotty. I knew the moment I stepped inside this was the right plan. It felt really good to "know". I gave it a thorough going over just to make sure I wasn't blinded by infatuation. It really helped to look at the other floor plans a few days before, since this dealer only had a few...

    Cyclone 4000, 4100 and 3800 thoughts?

    It's funny, I felt the same way about the couch in the 4100, at least with respect to the orientation. Sitting on the new furniture, I really liked it. We specifically sought out the 4000 for the L shaped couch, though. I was looking at it from a TV viewing standpoint, since all the other...

    Ordered a Cyclone 4000 Today

    Thank you very much! I'll keep updating the progress as I get info about the build, then post up pictures when it gets here. Jim, I appreciate the welcome. It's been a long time coming. I made up my mind quite awhile ago that Cyclone was the one. This forum was one of the main things that...

    Ordered a Cyclone 4000 Today

    Al, You know how great this feels. The best part was being able to order the exact trailer I wanted, and getting such a fair price. Doing my homework really paid off. Now I just need my truck to get here so I can go test for my Class A :).

    Ordered a Cyclone 4000 Today

    It's official. After almost ten months of researching and waiting we ordered a 4000 today. We drove nearly 200 miles to see the closest dealer with this particular floor plan. We promised each other that we would not be buying a trailer today, since the display model did not have all our...

    2015 Ford order guide is out

    It's nice to see them bring the 19.5" wheels back to the F450. I think it's funny you can option an F350 to the 450 specs (minus the wheels). Since the new F450 is late availability, I wonder if they will just keep the assembly process of the current F450 and rebadge them as the F350 with...

    Cyclone 4000, 4100 and 3800 thoughts?

    Thanks for pointing out the fridge/slide as well, I wasn't sure, and the one I saw yesterday had the slide out. I do love that 4100 bathroom and the extra door into the bedroom, but again, it takes up living room space. I'm sure that as soon as I take delivery Heartland will make a unit that...

    Cyclone 4000, 4100 and 3800 thoughts?

    I am in the official tire kicking stage of my Cyclone buying process. After months of internet research I am visiting dealers this weekend. I looked at the 4100 and 3800 yesterday at the local dealer. We are taking a 3 hour road trip tomorrow to look at the 4000. I am fairly confident that...

    Need experiences - DRW vs SRW, Long vs Short bed

    Nice! That's about as opposite from a 2 dr, short bed, SRW as you can get:). That's a great truck you bought. Have fun with it.

    Need experiences - DRW vs SRW, Long vs Short bed

    Lack of 4x4 would be a deal breaker for me. If cost stood in my way I would shop a model year older. 4x4 is relatively cheap insurance that you will not become stranded when it is least convenient. I don't use it often, but when I need it, it is invaluable. Low range has been very useful...

    factory tailgate with 5th wheel cutout?

    On edit: Here are a few different versions I have seen on the interwebs. Post up in the thread if you find a factory one. I really like the look of the factory gate with a cutout. I've seen a few pictures of home made ones. I realized that those people had way more skill than I.

    Need experiences - DRW vs SRW, Long vs Short bed

    I didn't know you could still buy a 2dr truck :). But seriously, I'd consider a crew cab just for the potential resale value. As a two time dually owner, I'd also toss my DRW vote into the mix. Outside of couples without kids and strictly work trucks, most people want a crew cab to tote the...

    factory tailgate with 5th wheel cutout?

    I first saw it on the Long Hauler concept truck. That's pretty cool you saw it in person. I have been unable to find an actual link to the part number. No one at my local dealership seems to know what I am talking about when I ask. I'd love to find one of these. My guess is it would be...

    2014 Dodge 3500 DRW

    Re: 2114 Dodge 3500 DRW I just sold my 2005 Dodge 3500 dually to a good friend. My 2014 3500 just got loaded on the train from the factory. I had one minor issue with the 05. I am not brand loyal but so happens that my last 4 vehicles have been Chrysler products. I really don't mind the dually...

    RV Hut

    Larry, You have a great looking 'hut' for your trailer. I've added these pictures to my list of ideas. I really like the side storage shed you built. Great job!

    Wanted, idea's for a model R/C rack for my cyclone...

    Can you make a rack out of pvc pipe? With L T and Y fittings you could make a very sturdy light weight rack. That's how I used to store my planes back when I flew.

    Once you hit the tunnel - it is time to stop and regroup :-)

    The Ram and red car both have California plates. I wonder where this is.
