    ATF: Cyclone - UDC Plumbing

    Jim, It looks like it might allow me to drain the fresh water tank using the pump instead of the gravity drain. The valve appears to open to a drain hose and does connect to the house side of the pump. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    ATF: Cyclone - UDC Plumbing

    Good guess but I don't think so. The bypass valves for the hot water heater are on the back of the water heater, under the sink. If I were to guess I'd suspect it may have something to do with switching from city water to the fresh water tank but right now the fresh water tank is empty...

    ATF: Cyclone - UDC Plumbing

    I know this is an old rig but our 2007 3795 has two water valves in the UDC. The left valve shuts off the city water supply but I have no idea what the right valve does. When I open it when connected to city water, water flows out of a drain below the UDC. The owner manual doesn't have any data...

    Advice on Towing Vehicle

    We have 2013 F350 with the 6.7 Powerstroke and so far nothing but good to say. That said, look at all the brands and buy what ticks your checklist best. Every manufacturer has an occasional lemon but I'd say they are exceptions not the rule. Of course you will hear about the problems because...

    cyclone affordability !

    Don't discard the usef market. We bought a used 2007 Cyclone last year for $25k. We spent two months in it this summer and love it more and more. No, it doesn't have a big screen TV or some of the fancy stuff of the newer models but it has been trouble free and we could pay cash for it. Not...

    New Cyclone Owners

    Nice looking rig. Welcome to the Cyclone community. We love our 2007 unit. It has been trouble free. Two big BMW R1200GS's fill the garage. It also makes a great kennel when we bring the dogs camping.

    How often do you drive the tow vehicle or drive the motorhome?

    My wife has more miles hauling big rigs than I do. She's been a horsey gal all her life and has pulled some pretty big goosenecks over the years. She prefers to have me drive but she can handle anything I can and wouldnt be the least bit intimidated.

    Moving from 15" to 16" wheels

    The Airborne is worth it's weight in gold. Cushions the shock of the trailer to the truck on rough roads. It's a simple concept but makes a big difference in the smoothness of the rig going down the road. I like the 3795 design and build quality a lot better than some of the new rigs that cost...

    Moving from 15" to 16" wheels

    The axles are not flipped Zedd. And I have no issue with the front two axles. It is the rearmost axle that won't fit - the axle almost seems to be a bit off center to the front on the rear so the wider tire rubs on the inside leading edge of the fender. Could I move the exle to the rear? Maybe...

    Another bedroom reading light mod

    We pulled the bulb on one side but it really didn't work. The new lights are much more directional. The pucks scatter a lot of light. :-) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Moving from 15" to 16" wheels

    So here we go with more tire questions. My dealer gave me a couple of 16" X 6.5 wheels with 235X80 tire mounted. I can get them to fit OK on the two front axles but the rear axle will not take this tire without rubbing on the fender skirt. Also, the 6.5" wide rim with the 235 X 80 just seems a...

    2014 3110 Cyclone ,Lots of rust on chassis and components

    Just a thought on what to do to slow the rusting in the future. POR is a special paint made to stop rust in its tracks. It is expensive but it does a great job at stopping rust. That would be the paint route I would follow if I were painting-minded. Another option is to use a product like...

    New to Us Cyclone and Tying down the toys

    Agree with all that has been said so far. We bought a 2007 3795 last year and haul two BMW motorcycles. The floor has front and rear D rings so I think your rig has been modified. That said, I can't comment on how rugged the track system is but tie downs front and rear work for the motorcycles...

    EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: MA, Middleboro - 7/17/2014 to 7/20/2014

    Friday was a good day - ultrasound was good, Raie seems to be holding up well. No more leakage. Possible she'll go full term which would be both awesome and a miracle. This pregancy has been a real roller coaster.

    EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: MA, Middleboro - 7/17/2014 to 7/20/2014

    Sorry to disappoint but the "done" was for liking the FB page of the vendor, not for coming to the rally. That's not in the cards with a grandbaby on the way around the same time. In time, folks, in time.

    After reading several threads here about how people changed out the puck lights over the bed in their Cyclones I decided I, too, was unhappy enough to attempt a fix. I took these puck lights and replaced them with two of these . The old puck lights are held in by springs and can be gently...

    Making sense of the tire talk

    Just to add one more thought to Seattle's comments. We don't know the failure rate of any of these tires because we don't know how many are on the road vs. the number of failures. It seems likely there are far more Towmax than Goodyears so the raw number of failures is likely to be higher but...

    Making sense of the tire talk

    Seattle has made a reasoned and well thought out "argument" on tires. Tire and oil threads have a lot in common - lots of emotion and sometimes not a lot of data. Just because a tire is made in China doesn't necessarily mean it is garbage. I ride motorcycles, where tires are a critical component...

    What truck/hp do I need for pulling Cyclone 3612?

    My truck is a Ford F350 lariat ultimate, 2013 with the 6.7. Cyclone 3795 is a triple, GVW 18k. Over the scales loaded to travel we weigh 17k with 2 motorcycles on board. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    What truck/hp do I need for pulling Cyclone 3612?

    My towing experience with my fairly heavy Cyclone is like most of the rest here. I put the truck in tow haul mode and can accelerate up 7 and 8% grades without any issues. Frankly, I I've been pleasantly surprised at how much grunt this truck has. I was concerned about the 3.55 rear end being...

    What truck/hp do I need for pulling Cyclone 3612?

    I feel the same way about my setup Dave. I wouldn't want to go any bigger or heavier on the SRW - I have the heaviest springs for the Ford, front and rear, and have been real pleased with the way it all works but would feel like I was pushing my luck if I went any bigger without going to DRW and...

    My 2013 F350 6.7 with 3.55 rear end pulls my 3795 (loaded weight about 16,000+) up and down the hills of Vermont with no problem at all. But as others have said, your 250 is overloaded with that kind of weight. I have the 20" SRW and have had no issues towing but a dually might give you more...

    Moving from 15" to 16" wheels

    Thanks Ray. I don't have much clearance on the triple so when I size up on the wheel I'll have to take most of that inch off the sidewall. And I'll be looking for wheels rated to at least 100 psi to make they can handle the pressures. Thanks for the reply. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using...
