    Thermal Pane Windows

    Like Jim says...they are available. We have them on our 2009 Cyclone 4012. I don't recall what they cost, but I think that option was about $1500 (probably varies by Cyclone dealer). They were not listed on the option but the factory rep at tthe show told us about them and we ordered ours with...

    Socal Fall Rally

    Glad to see a new SoCal rally in the planning. DW and kids may be able to make it out to Vegas in September. I'll know more in the comming weeks...it's the busy season for us firefighters. I may not be allowed to travel that far. And, the fuel costs be ****ed! The oil companys be ****ed too! A...

    Truck to tow Cyclone 4012

    There are lots of posts on RV.NET as well about this issue. A properly equiped F350 can legally tow the 4012. There is no F250 or 2500 of any kind anywhere that can safely and legally tow the 4012 in any state. The 4012 starts with a GVWR of 18K. My 2009 4012 dry, is in the 14K range. If I see...

    3950 Water Tank

    nonconwud, Just like fire engines with water tanks on board which hook up to a fire hydrant for more water... RV systems are similar. There is an inline "flapper valve" (not the techical term) which is in essence a backflow device that prevent this from happening. Without getting into the...

    2009 Cyclone 3210 ABS HitchCover

    Hi htneighbors, If you have the Trail-Air or Mor-Ride the cover will not work/fit. My 09 came with the Trail Air, so no cover. The unit sitting next to mine (also a 09) did have a cover, but no air hitch). Rock On... PS: Nice set up!

    Any Trucks with 7 seats?

    We were in a similar boat...looking for as many seats as possible. I think the closest you will come in a light duty truck is the Dodge 3500 Megacab (seats 6), or the Ford F-350 Crew Cab (seats 6). If you opt for the Chevy or GMC (unless you get the very base stripped down, base model) you will...

    Landmark Times Two

    Congrates! We purchased our 09 Cyclone from ClovisRV as well. We were very satisfied with how they treated us. And, even though we ordered our unit almost six months prior to its arrival (we had to finish our driveway), they kept their word on everything they promised us. Glad to hear you...

    Dual Pane windows

    I have found that just about every saleperson (does not matter what brand) will say just about anything, anytime, anywhere and anyhow to make a sale...escpecially on a unit that is sitting on their lot. Though I am very happy with the dealer and salesperson I purchased my 4012 from, I did call...

    Cherry Wood Cabs and solid counters in 3795

    I saw one a few months ago with Cherry Cabinets and Solid Surface Countertops. So far, I have come to believe if you ask for something different and are willing to pay for it, it can and will be done. I did not see Thermopane windows as an option on the Cyclone...but, I asked for it and got...

    Frame Worries

    Lots of great info on RV.NET...I just would not believe everything you read as everyone has opinions....and me too;) I was concerned, just like you, untill I did my own research. Some of the facts: *These frame failures were about 1%...industrywide. *Some of these "failures" were simple...

    dead battery

    Regular Gell Cells may not always the best answer either. If you use 12 volt batteries, AGM may be a better choice. When I pick up my new 4012 this week, the first thing being installed will be Optima group 31 Blue-Top AGM Batteries. Maybe you're refering to these already... Here's an...

    3750 weight??

    I agree with Bob & Patty, My last truck was a 04 2500 Dodge Cummins 4X4 Quad Cab with all the extra towing stuff...very simlar to your GM truck. My new trailer is Cyclone 4012...not much more than the 3712. Right off the bat the 3712 is about 12K pounds dry...that's just about your max...

    Once we get a Calif. Dept. of Agriculture stamp on them (costs about 25 cents per 100 pounds). I can ship them to any state that allows em. I've sent some to friends and relatives Oregon and Washington. Shipping was not too cheap, but I sent Hass avocados and they take about nine to twelve days...

    Jim, we'll treat you right!...with some great California grown avocados. The ones at the store may be from Chile...not as good as California grown...IMO. Well, actually, CA grown IS better...better flavor and higher butter content. But, you can decide. We'll bring plenty 'cados for gucamole...

    Uncle Rog and/or Bob & Patty, if you need avocados, we can bring em. We have a small grove (9 mature trees)on our land, and Zutanos are in season:p. They make great guacamole...very creamy. Our Haas trees will have a bumper crop this year, but the fruit will be a little immature for the April...

    April 4-6 sounds great. We'll be calling in the AM to make our reservations. My inlaws do not have a Heartland RV, but a Fleetwood Southwind (for now). Will non-Heartland owners be able to attend? Maybe in the outside sites? Thanks, Thor

    New Discussion-Late Spring So. Cal. Rally

    Well, not quite yet. We counted on taking out 40 cubic yards of dirt for the pad and driveway. We ended up taking out 110+. It was suppossed to be 5 ten-yard dump trucks worth...ended up at 11, and we still have 6 yards to get rid of. And, instead of 35-45 yards of 6 sack concrete, we have to...

    Actually, all kiding aside. I would guess it has to do with the fact that it's a Toy Hauler. It probably needs more support laterally as well. Anyone else? Rock On...

    Our 2009 Cyclone 4012 has arrived at dealership

    Hi all, The dealer is Clovis RV in Clovis, CA. Pretty impressed so far. John, the sales guy/manager has been great. Don't know if Sirius is activated or not. It did come activated in my 08 F350. But, even that was not quite as easy as I thought, since I already have a Sirius account. (pretty...

    rear marker lamp

    I saw the same reflective tape on a RV a few years ago. I put 2" red reflective tape on the slide-out of my old 5th wheel. I plan on doing the same on my Cyclone...especially since it has 3 slide-outs. I may put some on the pin-box as well...I keep hitting my head on it. This is the company's...

    2008 Cyclone 3912 ideas

    I noticed the same thing with the 4012 tabletop. It's supposed to be stored in the garage and secured with two straps. DW is sewing together two padded vinyl table clothes and adding a zipper. Basically, she making a carry case. And, with two large bungie cords and rubber coated "L" brackets we...

    Yes, we are scheduled for April 08...at the latest. Very long story short. We do not currently have room for the 4012 on our property (about a half an acre in the middle of the city). Our current driveway and approach is simply not big enough. We have scheduled a bunch of concrete work for...
