To be honest I never tried to tow it with the gas truck. Sucks because I bought and install a 20k hitch.

Yah! Just got a brand new 2012 F-350 Diesel to tow my trailer. Can't wait to take on it's maiden voyage!

Yes this Rig is new to me. Even thou I have had it for over a year. I bought it over a year ago had have never even towed it yet. I kinda work away from home too much.

Thank You! for all of your help. One day I will get this all figured out and maybe be able to help someone else.

Nope I have not tried propane yet. I was looking for direction on lighting the pilot? Which I did not find. But I am sure I fried the electric element, I left the red switch on for a long time.

Thanks Ray I never looked and I am sure it is in bypass. Problem is I am now at work at won't be home for awhile.

Just a couple of questions because I have no hot water. 1. Everyone says make sure there is water in the tank. This may seem silly but, how do you do that? I turned the hot water on at the kitchen sink and water comes out. Is that all there is to it?:confused: 2...

Hello Gordon, I didn't have a walk through. I bought my rig from a private owner and actually had it towed to my house without even seeing it. Call me crazy, but that's me always in a hurry. The good news is that so far everything has been great and the previous owner did not hide anything. We...

Thanks, I tried to find a video but was using the wrong search info. One problem I have is that little center pull tab is missing. I really hope it is just rolled up inside. Sorry for the slow response I am at work right now which is about 600 miles from home. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I have a 07 3975 Cyclone, wondering how to extend awning. It looks like it is a manual operation but I am not sure. Can't find a power button for it anywhere. There is a handle on each arm of the awning, does it take two people to extend? Any helpwould greatly be appreciated. :cool: Thanks!

Saw another Cyclone parked in my home town of Wasilla. At first I thought it was mine looked like the same year. No tow vehicle hooked to it. So now I know there at least two Cyclones in the Land of the Midnight Sun!:)

Thanks Kurt, just got the hitch installed, now I am waiting for my SCT programmer from Mike. Cold air intake is installed have to wait for Gibson to come out with exhaust for long bed 2011 trucks. Seward and Turnagain Pass will be a good test for my truck and rig. Kings river will probally be...

Hello everyone, I currently live in Wasilla Alaska for the last 13 years. Anyone planning a trip to Alaska is more than welcome to contact me for information about this great state. ( akguy47@yahoo.com )There are things you will want to have on hand to make your trip more enjoyable i.e. bug...

Yes I think I can figure out the switch for the slides. I am more concerned with the do's and don'ts of the slides. If there are any? Like can you have people sitting at the table or on the couch and run the slide out? I got a good deal on the RV but, it was still more than a months pay for...

Thanks guys for all the tips, I still have 11 days until I fly home. Can't wait to use start using the new toy!

Is there any place one can go for start up info. I have never owned a Cyclone 3795 before. Bought it used, and don't have the manuals.Things like how do you start the heater, water heater, water pump, and heck the slides. I guess I would like to hear the "don't do this" from the more experinced...

I love gun talk. I grew up with guns, and was taught gun safety from my father. Here in Alaska it is legal to conceal carry without a permit. Ninety percent of the people who live here own guns, mainly for hunting. Home invasions don't happen my neighborhood :) I always have a gun in the truck...

I hear ya Dave, and I use to have a 03 F-350 with the 6.0 and it would tow more than you wanted. Another factor for us up here is winter temps. Try starting your truck at -30 below. If it does start you are not going to like the noise it makes, been there! Yes we use block heaters, running a...

Sounds great Ray, there is not alot of mods out yet for the 20011's. I know on my 03 6.0 the cortex tuner made a huge difference. So right now I am looking at a tuner and exhuast mods. I had my 6.0 in the shop many times after the tuner and not once did I get asked questions. Throttle body...

Okay, what really turned me off of diesel was my 03 6.0. Now we all know trucks are trucks thay are all the same, we use all brands at work. Yes some have problems, mine had problems! What really sucks is when you are making payments and it is sitting in the shop. Not to get all high and mighty...

Alright I have an 2011 F-350 with a 6.2 which I will use to tow a 3795 Cyclone. I had another post going about gear ratio and power. I don't know how big the 2985 is. I am not trying to prove anybody wrong, but I hope my truck does okay so I don't have to go diesel. My 03 6.0 diesel gave me...

Sounds like fun, good call on the pizza! I have to explain a little so no one feels sorry for me. My house is on three acres with no neighbors close to me. We will have a huge fire with the tunes cranked. I can even shoot guns at my house if we want :) that's how remote we are.

Thanks guys for all the good advice and info to help me understand the mechanics of it all. First time out I plan on going empty and not plan on heading far or for any hills. If I feel like it it not going to make it I will be looking to trade truck. The other reason I went gas is diesel is way...

Thanks for info Dave, I guess the question I have is can I over-come gear ratio with power and increased torque. Does it matter if you have 500 lbs. torque at 1800 rpm or at 3500 rpm, which are random numbers I picked. I know you want all that grunt low (diesel) but shouldn't gas with the same...

You are correct, one could sit and argue for days about what truck is best. All that matters is getting there (safely) and having fun! I am at work right now which is remote from my house. I got my Cyclone delivered on Mon. and I had to fly out Wed. Plus the roads up here are not the best in the...

I have a question about gear ratio's and how it increases towing cap. Ford ups the the trailer weight by 2k lbs. if you have the 4.30 gears. Could I not make up this difference with more power? The weight of the truck and the brake system are the same, just wondering. Or am I missing something...

Hello Mike, I just bought an 07 3795 myself. The guy I bought it from towed it for three years with a F-250, not saying that's right or safe. I plan on towing mine with an 2011 F-350 6.2 gasser, which gets comments. Like you if my truck don't work I will trade it in. I should be fine, here in...

Once I get this thing rolling I will post how my truck does. 385 HP and 405 lbs. torque is more hp and almost the same torque as the 6.0 diesel. Yes the diesel makes all that at lower rpms, but Iam hoping with the new six speed tranny it will work. If I have problems I will trade truck in. :)...

It is new to me, but it is in like new condition. I got very lucky on this deal, previous owners were clean freaks! I went with gas truck this time because I owned a 03 6.0 and had problems. The specs on the new 6.2 are very close to the old 6.0 which would tow a house. I will chip it, intake...

Just bought new 07 Cyclone Toyhauler. I don't even have the fifth wheel hitch installed yet, had RV towed to my house. Also just bought a new 2011 F-350 6.2 gas Crew Cab. I am excited to get things hooked-up and see how my truck does. Bad thing is I am at work for the next thrre weeks, which is...
