    What air compressor do you carry with you?

    I have one of the Lowe's Cobalt portables as well. It runs off either 12v or 110v and is a great device. Just not sure how it will hold up topping off tires at 100psi+.... Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Some slop in Curt to rail fitment

    I use a CURT Q24 and not sure if this "fix" applies to it as well. I dont worry much about a little noise but get bothered when I feel slack in the hitch connections. Those rubber pads may help with the noise but are not going to make a bit of difference about anything more serious. As a word...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    GARMIN BC03 Rearview Cam on a Cyclone 3110 Recently finished installing a Garmin BC03 Rearview "Wireless" Cam on my Cyclone 3110 Toyhauler. I selected the GARMIN Rearview Cam system because I did not want to add any separate displays on the truck dash and wanted a "packaged" solution to...

    Cyclone with 10' garage Hauling an RZR....

    Finally loaded up the RZR and ready to head west to Arizona for the rest of the winter. My RZR 900s was a tight fit in the 3110 10ft garage but it worked out fine. Clearly a RZR 4-seater or 1000 would need a larger garage but this one just fits in the Cyclone 3110.

    Diesel lower than Gas

    Diesel in the Chattanooga area has been $1.99 for months at several locations... It just dropped to 1.96 at a couple of places... Hope the trend continues as we will be heading west to AZ in few weeks.

    Distance from truck rail to underside of RV

    I have a similar truck, 2015 Silverado but a 2500 and use a CURT Q24 hitch. I have about 6 1/2" clearance off the bedrails and would not want to have any less than that. I also have a Truxedo rollup bed cover that reduces the bedrail clearance about 1/2 inch. The only problem I have is...

    ATF: Cyclone - spare tire

    I just completed doing the same mod on my 3110... Did some carving on the original tire carrier then remounted it 2 ft forward and above the bottom lip of the frame. As Dave mentioned it is a tedious job but now I have 14" ground clearance for the tire even though I still have just 12" for the...

    Caution for recent MorRyde I/S owners....

    This is a heads-up for anyone that has recently had the MorRyde Independent Suspension & Disk Brake upgrade installed on their trailer. Mine was installed in June, 2015. Within 200 miles on the road after the install was done, I noticed one of the outer caps was missing from the axle. On...

    Best Location to get best price - 3650BH

    We special ordered our 2015 Cyclone 3110 from Big Daddy RVs in London, Ky and got a much better price than we found anywhere else, including the far north dealers. We picked it up in KY with no false assumptions about followup service, did the full PDI, then left and never went back. The few...

    More on Outside Speakers

    I have looked at those speakers on our Cyclone many times and shake my head. If I wanted music outside there are many great options now with Bluetooth hi on the list. why would l want holes cut in the side of my trailer? If I ever special order another one no holes will be a required feature!

    Pin box adjustment

    When you change the hitch height and pin-box settings you really need to take a close look at how the truck rails and camper nose come together, especially at extreme angle maneuvering. The 6" clearance may be deceiving... I have been working for some time on leveling my Cyclone 3110 with my...

    Dash Cameras

    I have two of the G1Ws and think they are great for the price. I have been using one in my truck for over a year without problems and now have one installed in my OHV Polaris RZR. There are several variations of the G1W but I like the ultra wide angle version, G1W-H. They are available on...

    We had MorRyde install both the I/S & Disk Brakes on our Cyclone 3110 before the Rally at Goshen. The Improvement in both braking and ride was obvious immediately. Not a cheap upgrade but they do a great job. Had a couple of issues but they are helping us with them now...

    Towing With Shortbed Truck

    I have the same truck and use a Curt Q24 hitch and have never needed a slider. If I tried to turn any sharper than 88 degrees the pin box would hit the truck sides first anyway.... The high sides on the GM trucks are also likely to put you into a nose high posture that isn't easily solved...
