Flipping axles is not hard, I've done it on 3 of my prior TT's. I bought new spring perches at the local RV supply and welded them on. I have heard that Dexter makes a no-weld bolt on kit, but I have no experience with it. Just be very safe in how you block up your trailer before removing the...

We got one at Home Depot two weeks ago for the backyard. It was very convient until it burst yesterday. I'll be taking it back today. I know we have only 60 psi because I installed the pressure reducer.

Went to the desert near Quartzsite over the long weekend with a few friends. We had some of those bleeding zombie targets and set up a pistol course through a wash to practise 'Mozambique' drills. Wasn't real impressed with the zombies, but it was kind of interesting shooting at 3D bodies...

We usually turn everything off when we leave our Cyclone in storage. Got lazy as we were coming back in 4 days. Came back to find a leak had developed in the connection at the toilet supply. Water ran behind the toilet, down the wall, out under the cabinet near the fuse and breaker boxes, soaked...

This problem may not apply to those of you with stock chargers, but it was definately weird. We replaced our charger with a Tripp-Lite inverter/charger/converter when we bought our Cyclone, 3 years until now trouble free. Started up the genny to charge the batteries and a few other items and...

Thanks for all the advice. Did a quick internet search and found that a regulator for a turkey fryer should do the trick. Regulates down to 10lb, has the right threads so I wont need any adapters.Got it at my local Home Depot for less than $20. At that price I can put a another in the spare...

The red regulator on my driver side propane line is leaking. No one local has one. The service guy at my local independent repair place says I dont need it. What say you? What purpose does this serve? Can I just replumb the lines without it or should I keep searching for a replacement? Last...

We did ours also. Decided to build a slide out rack for our pots and pans. We were going to order a door like Duane but DW decided to build a door from some wood we had. We had to move the water lines a little and added a new divider to seperate the plumbing from the rack. Everything is easily...

Our teryx is 114" and it fits, just a few inches to spare. Like Duane said about the glass door, be careful. After we got our tiedowns worked out, we pull in and stop several feet from the door and rig the pre-adjusted front stoppers. Then we drive in the rest of the way till they are tight. We...

Could be several things. When the genny is on, do any plugs power anything you plug in? If not, check the front of the genny, pull off the cover and you will find 2 breakers. check that they are on. The transfer switch and converter should be behind the panels in the basement. If the screws are...

Re: Confused That sounds like an easy option. I looked at Gopower before I did our system, they were more expensive back then and I did alot better buying the seperate parts myself. Gotta love competition for sales. As to powering your entire trailer, you have a 220 volt main panel while the...

Re: Confused If you dont have an inverter yet, you need to think and plan what you want to power and how sophisticated a system you want. From a simple inverter with an extension cord or 2 running through the coach or just turn a switch and have power to some existing recepticles there is a...

Was able to check our Cyclone. We now have 79" headroom when the bunk is all the way up.

We had to remove the top bunk to fit our Tyrex. Trailer is at storage so i cant measure it right away, but we fit with several inches to spare after the removal. It was several years ago so I dont quite remember the exact process. I do remember that it was fairly fast and easy, just looked at it...

One side at a time is how I did mine. No problem at all. I left it hitched to the truck so as to not stress the landing gear. I have good jacks and jackstands, just be safe, thats a lot of weight.

Duane, yes, I also used the pocket screws to build the shelve framework. All the fasteners are out of sight and it is quite strong. Home Depot and Woodcraft sell the Kreg kits to easily drill and make the joints. They have several different kits, some quite advanced and expensive. I bought the...

Ray is right about Knap and Vogt, they have lots of options. For something more custom, try a small cabinet shop. They should be able to knock something out in several hours work. To do it yourself is not beyond the skills of a decent handyman/craftsman. I did these for my Clone. Couldn'd find...

Eric and Jen, I dont want to make this sound too easy. Just a word of warning, if you dont truely understand 110/220 volt systems, please seek qualified help. Mistakes here can be life threatening. Good Luck.

Transfer switch will be behind panels in basement. Usually a small grey box about 6"square. It will have large wires from the shore power, genset and breaker running in to it. It will be live if the genset is on or you are plugged in!!! Contacts, springs, and solenoids should all be checked if...

Ray, I cant tell you about the new oven. The one we used was 6 years old. It was in our previous trailer and we liked it so much we swapped them before we sold it. Our 6 year old model doesnt have an oven igniter. Wish it did. maybe Rob or Mona can answer about the latest model.

It is an Amana, we bought it at camping world. Sealed top and black glass front. Its a breeze to clean and cooks very well. Did a small turkey on thanksgiving, cooks brownies and cakes without burning. Highly reccomend it.

We put the 22" size in ours. Forget the brand, but is is the sealed top that Ray mentioned, very easy to clean. Fit the counter top and width no problem. Had to cut down the 2 stiles that frame the lower drawer and move down the rail that seperates the drawer from the oven. The drawer box was ok...

I have 3 older 75 watt panels ganged together over the garage. Could have fit 1 more there, and a few more scattered around up front.

Re: Leveling with 3 axles-newbiel to leveling trailers-maybe not the right forum, move if need be X2 to what Duane said. I've made the 2x10 leveler also and it works like a champ. I only use 2 large rubber chocks. Level up system would be nice, but not in the cards for us right now.

We drive our Teryx straight in. Heavier than your RZR in a smaller trailer. Works just fine. Never felt any sway or fishtailing. Cant tell the difference towing when it is in or out.

You can remove the fuses and use a multi-meter to measure the amp draw across the fuse prongs. If you really want to save, replacing the most used 12 volt bulbs with LED can save you a panel and a battery. Average incandesent is 1.5 amps, LED draw only .3, plus brighter. Cost about $400 to do my...

Congrats on the new Clone. We love ours. Without an auto level option, your're stuck with blocks. We dont have an auto option either. I made a ramp out of 2x10 lumber just long enough to fit in my short bed. One full length, then 1 two thirds, then 1 one third long, all screwed together so one...

No need for a special rv panel. Any small panel with suitable spaces will do. Mine is mounted in the basement. Minor inconvience but I have yet to pop a breaker there. Branson is right about the inverter needing to be close to the batteries. Too small a wire or too long a run and the inverter...

How much water do you need? Thats a lot of weight to haul. Its just the 2 of us and we can go for 6 nights and not be stingy. Make sure your truck is up to the weight. We liked the Cyclone for the looks and floorplan. It has worked well for us, the 14000lb vs 16500lb GVW was also a deciding...

We had some bubabinga, an African hardwood, left over from a job. It was a great color match for the cabinets but the grain has much more character than the cherry and beech Heartland used. We tried several different door catches but the force when braking was always opening the cabinet. You can...

We saw Duane's mod also when we first got our Cyclone and decided to take it one step further. We opened the side by the door and built a pull out rack for our pots and pans. Works very well for us. A friend with SOB did something similar for his garbage.

In June of last year I posted about rubber biscuits failing on my Cyclone. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/24669-Easyflex-question?highlight= Due to health problems, we have only used our Clone for 2 short trips since then. Now the rubber looks just like it did before. Contacted Jackie at...

Sorry about double post, forgot the door. I can see the seam on my door, just like Porthole, but no cracks in the nonskid. Have read about others having cracks. Might be the type of toys loaded and uneven weight too close to the center seam that causes the cracks. Doesnt seem right though, the...

I have the same wheels, 110 psi. Like Porthole said, I had the 5 spokes and had to change wheels to use the Goodyear G614s. I got rid of my china bombs after 2 blowouts within 30 miles of each other. Took out some electric and damaged side panel also. One happy note, I seem to be getting almost...

We love our Cyclone. It seems that all our minuses have been fixed with factory upgrades since we bought ours. We tow ours with a 3/4 ton but are planning on an upgrade as soon as the economy allows. It tows fine and on paper the weights seem to work. The reality is, although we are not too...

I only have a 10 foot garage and our teryx fills it up, but it is bigger than your rzr. Our tyrex is only 9'6'' but because of the beavertail slope, we barely made it. Why dont you haul your toys to the dealer and try it out. If they see a sale coming, they should let you try to load it first...

RV.net has a whole section on south of the border with lots of info. Check them out.

To be fair to All Valley, our purchase was pleasent and non-stressful and I have reccomended them to others. Our service experience was less than satisfactory, with unresolved issues with each of our three attempts. I'm glad they worked out for you. They must be doing some things right or they...

We installed tile on the bath floor, entry, and countertop and splash of our previous tt (sob). We first installed 1/4 inch cement backer board with sub-floor adhesive, then installed the tile with a latex modified thinset. The grout joints where the tile meets the trailer edge were done with a...

Any out of towners traveling thru Los Angeles July 16 and 17 beware. The busiest freeway in LA. the 405, will be closed from Friday night at midnight to Monday morning at 6 AM, between the 10 and the 101. The traffic jambs promise to be epic. Best to avoid the LA basin altogether. I dive this...
