The commercial drive test in San Diego is way out there in El Cajon. It is not the regular DMV. It is very low key. There were no CHP anywhere near there when I went. They never asked to see my licensed driver either time. If you have a Class A driver who will go with you, then by all means go...

I drive right by Santa Fe RV on my home every night, bobca1. I'll keep an eye out for the Cyclone. If I get time I might stop by and say hi.

Jeff/bobca1 you better let me know when you come to camp in San Diego. Although I live in Carlsbad, The shop I own is right by Campland. Roberts Auto Service. Would love to say "hi" and celebrate our class A drivers licenses. Keith

Congratulations, bobca1. Go get it done, hippy. Now that we know what to expect it's not too hard. Bobca1 has northern LA covered if you need a class A escort. I'll offer to cover San Diego for anyone. Although they didn't ask to see the class A, you never know when that could change. Plus...

Bobca1 it won't come back on for awhile. The catalyst effiency monitor is 1 of 9 and one of the last ones to run, I would anticipate several days and 100 miles before it comes back on, but I doubt it will come on at all if they updated software. You got this. Trust your training and have a...

Windviewer, some codes are hard codes and will come right back on. But I don't think a cat efficiency code is one of them so that could work. Most shops, like mine, will read the code for free, and reset it once for you to see if it returns. Bobca1 it sounds like a software update may fix your...

I meant to address that with you on an the last post, bobca1, sorry about that. Since I own an auto repair shop, I wanted to tell you my thoughts. First, the answer is no he did not check inside my truck on the pre-trip. Yes I had the door open and he looked, but never while the key was on and...

Well, after all that stressing.....I passed. Easily. Again, no one asked for my "escort." I had to do straight backing lane, this examiner had me zig zag into the box from the parking spot instead of straight into the box and had me go completely forward out of the box, then back up straight...

Excellent point, Danemayer! I was told I had to start at 90 degrees and I had 5 pull ups to get it. So when I failed and had to pull up, I pulled back to 90 degrees, not knowing I could pull up straight. After I failed he told me "don't be afraid to ask questions." Here's what's funny, when I...

wdk450 that's what is stressing me out. Why do they make us jump through commercial driving hoops? I'm never going to back my trailer into that tight of a spot. If they want us to back into a camp in spot then move the cones farther apart for us. I could see taking a drive test because that's...

Ok I practiced the load dock test again today like crazy. I set up a smaller 10 x 30 box. Got it down pretty good as long as I don't stress during test I should be fine. My DMV did not have the 70 foot box. Only the 12 x 40. They told me I had five pull ups and that I couldn't get out and look...

Ok here's my latest experience with this. Studied only the RV recreational handbook and passed the written test. That's all you need to study for the class A non commercial written test. Yes, DMV seems a little confused but they got it figured out. You retake the C class and then you take the A...

That's funny Ladiver. :)

Oh yes, been using ear plugs for a few years now. We previously had an Eclipse lightweight toy hauler, ultra thin and light, you could hear everything. The Cyclone is quieter for sure. If we can keep most of the noise out without ear plugs that is idea as ear plugs can also amplify noise inside...

Re: Graco fuel transfer pump issue I had the same problem on my previous Eclipse Toy Hauler. The plastic impellers swell up in the heat and binds the pump where you don't think it is turning on. That happened to me in the Borrego desert in summer. When I got home to the coast and tried it in...

We just purchased a 2015 Cyclone 3800. My wife is very light sleeper. We took it to Pechanga RV resort and the people next to us were outside at 6 with a crying infant. We could hear everything since our heads sleep in the slide out and there camp was right there. So, we're going to put Dual...
