    South Dakota - From Alberta. Best BBQ Pitstops?

    Hey folks, We are going to Rafter Bar J Campground in July for 10 days. I love that show - Man vs Food. And also the new one - BBQ Crawl. We would love to find a great bbq pit restaurant along the way - or even better - right in South Dakota. We are taking the motorbikes so we can probably...

    Bar J Rafer Campground...

    After a great trip there last year - we booked again for July 10th, 2013. Looking forward to taking the Cyclone 3010 down there again and roaming the hills on our street bikes. We are avid ATV's - and are getting a Polaris RZR this spring. Does anyone know of a place to rent a SXS for...

    Will a RZR 800S fit in a 10ft cyclone garage?

    You say I need a 10 foot garage? Good - cuz I have one! lol Or was that a typo - and you meant a 12' garage? Not sure how some say a RZR S is ok in a 10' garage while other say it's not? Is the suspension jacked up on some? My rig is in storage and I'd like to pickup the RZR in Feb or March...

    Will a RZR 800S fit in a 10ft cyclone garage?

    We're getting a new RZR 800S and I want to ensure it will fit in our 10ft garage. (3010HD) The specs show 104" long - but if we add bumpers - it may be a tight fit. (Some say 111" with bumpers) Anyone know how tight of a fit it is? (I'll be adding 30" Zillas and a 2" lift - but I'm not as...

    Tire Pressure Monitors

    yep - story just doesn't add up... sounds like there is chunk of info missing. I doubt TST would cancel your order cuz there is too many clouds in the sky. I'm not saying you know what happened - but I would suggest that this is certainly not the Norm. For what it's worth - we have the...

    Dodge 3500 mega cab

    If you go with a Mega Cab Dually, you'll still be way way over on payload. (They are short box RAMs) I've got a '12 Cyclone 3010 - I would have been at the limit with that short box. I wanted to put in a slip tank and carry other stuff like tools in my box - I would have been way over. I went...

    TST TPMS 507 - do I need metal stems?

    So before my China bombs blow on our Cyclone, I'm ordering the TST 507 system for our rig. (I'll be upgrading tires in spring next year) I called TST and they said because the 507 sensors are only 13g's, I wouldn't need the metal stems. I have read some discussions on people having leaks from...

    Air bags / Dodge 3500

    I put Firestone airbags on the rear of our 2012 3500 DRW RAM Lar. Rig is a '12 Cyclone 3010 - Pin weight of 2700 loaded. (ballpark MO) (I measured about 4.5" of sag when I loaded the Cyclone on her) The Ram would sometimes bottom out on some highways. After I installed the air bags, that...

    LP propane bottle won't switch over to backup bottle - Problem solved... I think

    Our 2012 Cyclone has this regulator... Marshall Excelsior MEGR-9984P 2-Stage Automatic Boxed Regulator It is definitely an auto switchover style. I did understand the automatic switch over part of the regulator. I did understand the XS flow on the pigtail hose. Regardless - good...

    LP propane bottle won't switch over to backup bottle - Problem solved... I think

    No it's not rocket science, but there seems to be hundreds of people online that have had this same experience. Most people resolve this reoccuring issue by going and buying a new regulator - possibly wasting lots of time, money and hassle. I'm just trying to save people these problems by...

    LP propane bottle won't switch over to backup bottle - Problem solved... I think

    "Blocked in" means the valve is closed. I think the anti-slug valve (XS flow valve) will engage if you open up the cylinder fast, but it should bleed thru the slug valve at 10SCFH... so eventually both sides of the XS flow valve will equilibriate and things will eventually flow as the XS flow...

    LP propane bottle won't switch over to backup bottle - Problem solved... I think

    Our Rig – Cyclone 2012 3010 Normally, I just use one bottle and leave the other tank blocked in – my theory was; just in case I run out – I’ll have a “backup bottle”. In theory this works… but I found some holes in my plan. Last year we ran out of propane and froze all nite, cause when I...

    Stowing bicycles in garage

    This was our setup for our last trip to South Dakota. Might be tough to see in the picture... but I ran a 2x4 across from one wall to the other. (cushion on ends at walls) Wratchet strapped to seats of motorbikes. Then I wratchet strapped the handlebars on pedal bikes to the 2x4. It worked out...

    I added some carpet into the garage area. 8x12 piece at Home Depot - $54CDN. I cut out the 2 holes for the table. I'm going to use the garage as the dinner table and keep the kitchen table area open - it's a hassle weasling in and out of that couch. I used the left over carpet for step...

    The 16' garage comes in the models where someone drives about 6' feet thru the 10' garage slider doors. Not to many models have the 16' garage.

    how to attach flag buddy?

    I ordered the 16' flag buddy today - I just called the president of Flag Buddy and ordered it from her direct. Nice lady. Got a CDN flag instead of a US flag and also 2nd flag. The price of the CDN flag at Flag Buddy is half that of the same flag here at Canadian Tire. I've decided there is...

    how to attach flag buddy?

    Hey folks, I'm going to order a flag buddy for our Cyclone 3010. (16') I'm trying to figure out where to mount the flag. The flag buddy normally attaches to the ladder - but I don't take along the ladder on our trips. (no room and can't drive with ladder on as it's on side of rig) I don't...

    Etrack - 2 foot section is $10CDN. It's cheaper if you buy longer pieces and cut it yourself. The ring latch is $5CDN. There is different adapters for the E-track.

    Here is a picture of the LED bulbs I put in. ($5.80 each online) I think I needed about 26 LED's for the 3010. (I only bought 20 bulbs) Our rig has the option of selecting either 1 or 2 bulbs when the light switch is turned on. So for some lights, I only installed one LED in the light. Pretty...

    Can't find the garage wall studs!

    Ratchet tie downs for a couple cruiser motorbikes. Bikes go into wheel chocks at front and are also held down by ratchet straps to the stock D rings. Bike engine sits on wood blocks to stop loosening of bike straps due to bouncing. Bike back tires are locked from moving by a wall to wall...

    Garage ramp traction help

    Consider using SuperGlides (made by SuperClamp). It's what most sledders and quadders use on their deck and in their trailers. Cost is about 10CDN per piece (30inch?). Very grippy - made of hard plastic that won't ever wear out - you can't walk on this stuff in sock feet - too shart. Great...

    South Dakota campgounds near near Mt Rushmore & the badlands

    Just a heads up on Rafter J... I called (based on feedback here - thanks) and booked a spot. I called April 1st - for July 13th - only 3 spots were left that could fit a 36' fiver. Sounds like a great place. Looking forward to it. Thanks folks.

    Attaching Flags to the Unit...

    Love those recent pix of the flags on the Cyclone. I'm not going to put up really big flags, but does anyone have any good pix or ideas where to put some smaller flags on their unit? It'd be nice to hang a Canada flag on our 3010 when we are out. Not needing to keep it on when driving - just...

    Vent keeps opening up

    So I park the 3010 for a week til the next time. I found the roof vent over the bedroom to be almost wide open. I know I always close the ventswhen I park it. Maybe it was windy during that week. So I close it and leave the RV for another week. I get back to the unit and find that the RV was...

    I cry a bit every time I open up the manual...

    Is it just me - or does Heartland have one generic manual for all of their trailers? The manual that came with mine doesn't cover much more than a basic trailer - and most of it's lingo is for bumper pulls. And seriously - do I need to know every kind of UDC setup there is? How about a manual...

    Step covers - I might get them. I should get a couple mud flaps and install them behind the last axle so there isn't as much mud that cakes onto the garage steps. I did put on some reflective tape on the stairs so you can see the stairs in the dark. We use 2 solar powered spot lights that shine...
