I agree about the floor plan. It's too bad the kitchen isn't in a slide or the bed is a queen. If the 4000 had that couch on the opposite side and the fridge on the kitchen side in a slide I'd love it. The 4000 is still my favorite plan but a hybrid of the two would be awesome. Sent from...

Sorry I turned your question about turning into a Pandora's Box of licensing minutiae.

Thank you! It's funny you mention the getting you to the test thing. Apparently there are a bunch of CDL test rental truck businesses near the commercial testing centers. I think it's somewhere in the $1,000 range to rent their stuff. A little pricey. The last time I tested for a CDL I had...

Technically, yes. In California we can tow up to 10,000 pounds on a regular class C, what most people have. With a written test, we can get the Recreational Vehicle Endorsement (Restriction 41) to tow a fifth wheel travel trailer between 10,001 and 15,000 pounds. Above 15,000 for a fifth...

Desert- Your main Vehicle Code section to worry about will be CVC 22100. The operative language for those of us with long trailers, is "(a) Right Turns. Both the approach for a right-hand turn and a right-hand turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the...

I love my Companion hitch. The only complaint I have is the chain hook loops for the Goose Neck. The installer put my loops on the raised portion of the bed floor so it makes sliding a loaded pallet impossible, and plywood difficult. On my next truck I'll make sure the loops are installed on...

Thanks a lot. I'm sure if I get the standard lead spring I'll be adding airbags and will have a ton of questions. We have narrowed our choice down to the 4000 or 4100. I live the floor plan of the 4000. The bathroom layout and half bath in the 4100 seem appealing too. None of our local...

I currently own a 2005 Dodge 3500 drw. I was always a trade after a few years guy. I'm going on my tenth year with this truck. Outside of a minor issue with the turbo when the truck was new I've not had any problems. I will be buying a 13 or 14 soon. I've never been brand loyal and always...

I don't use my iPad for navigation, but use my Android phone all the time for GPS. On the phone, as long as I have a signal to set the route, I can be out of cell/wifi range and still continue to get turn by turn directions. If I deviate from the route to cause a recalculation it messes...

Thanks Al, the waiting is the hardest part. Your comment about airbags reminded me about the 2014 air suspension they are coming out with on the 3500s. I'd love to have that, but I don't want to be a guinea pig for a brand new suspension system. I keep flashing back to the early 90s when...

We have the JTs on our SOB fiver. They are solid as a rock. We camped for a few months without them, and noticed a huge difference in the bounce and jiggle. I can't feel when people are moving around in the trailer, at all. I remember shopping for the BALs at the same time as the JTs. If my...

I think the original site is down, but here is something similar:http://partykinggrills.com/shop/swingn-smoke-rv-grills/

I appreciate the heads up. According to the towing spec sheet PDF on Ram's website, the 4x4 mega with Aisin HD tranny and 4.10s will pull a 28,910 pound trailer. The same truck in Crew will pull a 29,010 pound trailer. According to the Ram site, the towing capacities are within 100 pounds of...

I really appreciate all the responses. It looks like many people have gone through the same dilemma I face. The way I'm speccing out the truck both will tow within a few pounds of each other right around 28,000 pounds. I love the look of the long bed crew. I do haul bikes and quads in the bed...

My wife and I are looking to replace our current SOB with a Cyclone 4000. Lucky for me, our current dually is too small for the family, dogs and trailer and must be replaced. At this point I am nearly set on the Ram 3500, but I can't decide between the crew and mega cab. I am well aware of...

The 4000 is the same trailer I am looking at. Since my current truck (2005 Dodge 3500 DRW) is about 2000 pounds shy of the 4000's 18K GVWR, we are shopping for a new 3500. I can't quote Ford of GM's specs, but I know to be within limits I'll need the dually Ram 3500. The single rear wheel...

I'm in the same boat as the OP. Shopping for a TH, and curious about the garage AC. Is there a simple way to rewire the AC transfer switch to make the living room the 'optional' AC? If I'm wanting to cool the bedroom, I'm also going to want to cool the garage since the kids will be sleeping...

If your skylight is anything like the one in my SOB fiver there should be screws holding the interior skylight cover in place. If you build a small frame, like a picture frame, you could use swiveling tabs to hold a piece of wood or tinted plastic in place. When you use the shower or want...

Thanks for the replys. I'll drag them down there before we purchase. WHP4262 has similar quads, so hopefully that's a good indication mine will fit.

Hi all - My wife an I are looking for a toy hauler, and we are leaning heavily toward the Cyclone 4000 (and to a lesser degree the 4100). It is by no means a deal breaker since we don't normally camp with our quads, but I'd like to know if anyone has actually fit two Polaris Sportsman 700s...

Re: Well, it's time to ask about the 4200 again??? I'm with you on the full wall slide. I think it's more viable than going up, but that would be cool, too. I wonder how functional the garage will be if they use a full wall slide. Since we are all guessing here, my guess is the patent...
