When I got my airbags on my Ford I had the same issue, the Firestone site has about 100 part numbers many appeared to fit. I called Tweetys RV directly and they hooked me up with the correct airbags. The install took about 2 hours and I did not have to drill any holes.

Our kids fight over who gets to sleep in the garage. Our 2nd a/c is in the master bedroom, we leave the door open to the garage, set the fantastic fan to 75 degrees, and it stays very comfortable after the sun goes down (even in pretty high temperature/humidity). The kids like it because they...

I got mine at Tweetys. After I got mine I have noticed I have seen them posted of "for sale boards" at several livestock related web sites and sale facilitiies. You do not often see B/W stuff for sale, people are often trading their current hitch looking for a B/W set up.

I pull my 3912 with a SRW 08 F350, but is seems like this year has been higher than average on the high wind days. A tall profile trailer is a handfull in a cross wind with a SRW. I will not tow on an interstate highway (over 55 mph) if the wind is over 25mph. Can it be done, yes, but in my...

The "floor" of my generator boxed in area is 90% open when I yanked out the Onan unit, I am going to put an expanded metal floor and small vent in the outer door of the compartment. I have a small 12 volt automotive radiator fan that will bring in fresh air, forcing out the heated air out the...

I know that retail price for the Onan 5500 can get as high as 4k but can be had for 3100 new if you look around. Does your rig have a steel box built inside of the storage area for the genset to sit in, if not it will need to be installed to keep CO2 from getting into the interior, and act as a...

After struggling with my gasoline generator for several years I decided to switch to a propane portable unit that would better suit what I use a generator for. I knew that my shop was not equipped to remove the 300lb genset without damaging my Cyclone so I went to a local trailer/RV dealer. I...

I have repaired chips and areas where the clear coat is lifting off of my wheels. I have had good luck using MEK (methyl ethyl Ketone), a strong paint thinner rubbed on the chipped area only and applyiing clear coat auto paint over the chip, using the little pen style applicator found at auto...

It is a quick way to make sure all of your tires are inflated. In my opinion it is a good thing to do every time you stop. This does not replace pre-trip air checks of all tires.

During the summer heat I often travel at night. When we pull into the camp ground it is often late, my wife and I walk the entire route with flashlights pointing out any possible problem areas, we then check our site and I lay my 2"X12"s where I plan on setting my front landing gear. We then...

I have an in bed fuel tank that sits taller than my bed rails by 3", so I raised my hitch up by 2" to maintain a 6" clearance when I back in at high angles. Right now my hitch is 14.25" off of the bed floor. My fuel tank is 23.5" tall from the bed. When I raised my hitch it caused a slight...

I don't know if the height of the rig makes any difference, I do know that if I have 3 kayaks on the roof of my truck in front of the Cyclone the nose stays pretty clean, with an aluminum wing there is no measurable difference in my mileage however. On my work trailers (featherlights) I put an...

I admit to being lazy and not dumping fuel and monitoring the fuel stabilizer balances correctly, I do run the generator at least once a month. During the summer is when I use it to run the A/C when traveling only. The only other time I use the genny is to run my air compressor in remote...

I am tired of dealing with "sour fuel" issues. Selling my 5500 Onan Marquese Gold generator from my Cyclone, it has 55.4 hours on it. It has only been used while traveling to keep the A/C running. I have attempted nearly every Sta-bil type product on the planet to no avail and I am tired of...

I just pull the fuse for the motor (mine is located just behind the switch in the front storage area).

I am going to muddy the water up a little here. Is it possible that the vehicle rev limiter cut in and caused your shudder? I have an 08 SRW that will shudder sometimes when I am under high load at high rpm. If you have ever seen how much the rear axel winds up under lots of weight and lots of...

I am with porthole. It sounds like for the fantastic fan. It helps during a/c season but will suck out any heat in the garage during cold weather.

Depending on where you want to mount the tv. I mounted a 19" flat screen on my front bedroom wall where there was no stud by "sandwiching" 2- 6"X10" aluminum plates on the both sides of the wall with 1/4" bolts drilled through the wall, then only snugged up as to not crush the wall. I then used...

I work for Blue Beacon (building and maintaining facilities) and wash my Cyclone several times a month. I ask for the straight wash (no brightener) and I have Rain X applied once a month. After driving in bug season they will need to brush the front cap to remove bug debris fully. My rig still...

60 gallon tank/tool box combo. I got it from Northern tool. In my opinion it is the best modification I have ever done, taking the fuel stop worries out of travel days.

Moving tie-downs is not that big of a deal. I am not moving the flush mount factory D rings, I purchased 5k d rings from Tractor Supply and after parking everything where it needs to go, mount the D ring where you want it. I use a piece of aluminum 4" channel under floor if there is no cross...

Adult guests stay in king bed in toybox. When the kids bring a guest the favorite place is the basement (we plug in a portable tv) with bug nets draped over both ends. The living room is like thunderdome, late night and early morning activity allowed.

I do not have the generator tank option, but I looked at it. I believe your assumptions are correct and I do not see a problem filling the generator tank with the toy tank as grounding issues should not be a problem.

I ordered it from Northern tool online. I also got the conversion kit (I would reccomend it). Shipping to central Kansas from Florida was $108.

I just finished my final "must have" modification on my truck, a 60 gallon RDS aux. tank/toolbox combo. I have previously modified the brakes, rear leaf springs, 4.30:1 rear end assembly, and added airbags. I just loaded the trailer for travel with a golf cart and four wheeler, food and...

That is a little scary when you think about the stress it took to tear the bottom of the base like that. Out of curiosity what set of holes do you have your upright "triangles" (for lack of a better name) set at?

I have heard of people from Wyoming going down to the Longmont Colorado area for RV repairs. I do not have any specific dealership info, but there is a lot of dealers in the area with a wide range of services available. Highway 25 is literally lined with dealerships in that area.

I really like it, but I picked out the "full throttle" Cylone paint scheme, my wife thinks the dark colored stripe in the central swirl should be removed to make it a little more reserved. I am wondering about a lack of picture windows, but do not know the internal layout of the landmark.

In my opinion there must be a problem with water, All of the systems you listed can be adversly effected by water. My rear door gets wet a lot from washing down the garage with a hose at least twice a week during the summer, but after washing down it gets dry pretty quickly in the summer. My...

In our Cyclone the main A/C does duct into the bedroom. If we turn the fan to low and adjust the ducts so the flow out of the bedroom ac goes straight out the fan noise is low enough we do not have to blast the tv. In our recent extreme heat I have found that the front a/c catches up around...

I personally have the GY614's and love them. But overall I think you will be well served by what are appearing to be the big 3 on this forum, GY614, Michelin Rib, or Maxxis. I think it comes down to personal preference and cost as enough research will convince you to buy (or not buy) just about...

Here is my 08 F350 and 09 Cyclone 3912 on a Colorado backroad.

The KOA in Arlington on Cooper Rd. is a good location if you want to be close to the "loop" around Dallas for access to the entire city. It is a tight location and not very big rig friendly,and the trees pretty much eliminate satilite dish reception, but if you are comfortable in tight places...

The bolts that attach the rails to the wall barely clear on mine, it got worked loose once and caused the bed to bind up. I am pretty sure that mine does not have a limit switch as mine will lift an 100 lb kid (dont ask). If I had to guess I would say breaker tripped or upper switch on the high...

Re: Rinning A/C while towing During the last week I have been running both air conditioners and the fridge while towing. If your genset will handle the load. So far I have not had a heat fault in the generator and it has averaged over 100 degrees.

I was doing my "housekeeping" by vaccuming and cleaning out the basement and storage areas on my Cyclone. I noticed that for the first year ever, I have not had any spiderwebs or dead bugs behind the basement walls (plumbing electrical chases) or in any restricted areas like under couches or...

Every time I see tire debris on the road I think to myself "I hope that turned out ok" in an attempt to keep the tire gods happy. I do have G rated tires, but every little thing helps to keep gremlins away.

Have you tried google docs? I am currently using it but it is a little tough for me as I am computer challenged. I am always looking for something easier to manage "paper" in what is becoming a paperless world.

Toys, tools, parts, I have moved a lot of stuff since we got our Cyclone. The most usual cargo are my wifes show animals and a golf cart. A friend of mine is currently building a rack so we can haul 4 jet skis. I think the lightest I have ever gotten my pin weight was hauling my golf cart and...
