    Seating upgrades for 3110?

    Any suggestions for replacing the powered recliners with something that can be converted to a bed, and with more underseat storage? Given the lack of pantry space in 3110 could really use more underseat storage. I'm not a fan of these recliners the motors failed within months and seems there is...

    Adding additional tie downs in garage

    Thanks for replies and suggestions. It was easy to check underneath and see the frame running front to back. So additional tie downs can be installed anywhere on the same line as existing, exactly what I needed to do. Even with fuel tanks back there the frame is visible from underneath. I put...

    Adding additional tie downs in garage

    Here is a diagram I just made that shows where I would like to put additional tie downs. And is there a recommendation for what brand tie down to use? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Adding additional tie downs in garage

    I am planning to order a beast rack for securing motorcycles in the garage, the rack attaches to floor tie downs allowing it to be easily removed. I have a stacked washer dryer that prevents me from using the front most tie downs, so I am thinking of installing more tie downs about 30" back...

    What type of Hitch do I have?

    They are probably wondering if you have 5th wheel (pin), or a gooseneck (ball in truck bed). If you attach a photo of your hitch/pin box we can tell you which you have.

    Suggestions for 5th wheel hitch.

    I am happy with goosebox I recently installed on my Cyclone 3110 which I pull with SRW RAM 3500. Rides much better than the stock pinbox with solid 5th wheel hitch. Not sure how it compares with other pinbox or hitch that has air bags though. Only complaint I have is little more difficult to...

    So I ordered a Reese - Draw-Tite Goose Box 94623 and Amazon Prime :-(

    Confirmed. This chain will work with Reese kit. 1/2 chain rated for 45,000lbs. That should be enough [emoji6] https://www.etrailer.com/Safety-Chains-and-Cables/Fulton/FCHA0070324.html

    So I ordered a Reese - Draw-Tite Goose Box 94623 and Amazon Prime :-(

    Sure not smaller necessarily, but your curt hookups do look more like loops that would better accept a chain hook. On the Reese they are not really loops more like ovals and wider. I just ordered some larger hooks with chain from etrailer the website states will work with Reese ball kit. I'll...

    So I ordered a Reese - Draw-Tite Goose Box 94623 and Amazon Prime :-(

    Looks like a good kit, wish I would have got that one with the smaller loops would have worked with my chain hooks. I considered using the same kind of link, but the ones at hardware store were only rated for 2000lbs, I was afraid that might snap if chains were needed. They had larger hooks...

    Also with my goose box order from Etrailer I I got the Reese ball kit and safety chains, but the hook on the chains will not attach to the puck hookups in the bed, I have to take the hook off to get the chain through the loop. To use these hookups I would need a much larger hook and then a...

    Question about Sat connections on new 5th wheels and DTV receiver connections...

    I have been using a winegard X1 for past 2 years and worked ok but problems with signal if cloudy or not a perfect view to the south. Main issue was only able to view one satellite at a time a problem since I have 2 tvs. Just installed a Travlr last week and while I have yet to actually connect...

    Which receiver for new Directv install?

    Confirmed the H25 is the best receiver for SWM system (new Travlr). Having the receivers delivered next week same time they are setting up system in my home. BTW word of advice if you are getting Directv DO NOT call ATT/Directv directly and use their installers. Having waiting 3 weeks thru 3...

    My disc brakes paid for themselves today

    Yep I agree, maybe not for smaller trailers, but for 10k+ disc brakes should be required there is just no comparison. The original drum brakes on my twin axle Cyclone were worthless and could barely feel them. Be sure to make this your first upgrade! You will not regret it. I feel so much safer...

    Which receiver for new Directv install?

    Switching from Dish to Directv now that the ATT bundle with wireless is too good to pass up. Will be installing Winegard Travlr later this week. Seems I can buy H25 outright online for about $125, but going to check Directv too. Question is the H25 best current receiver? I am not interested in...

    Have about 600mi of driving now after installing the goosebox and like it so far, no longer get that slamming or chucking I guess it's called when there's a dip in the road and while truck is going down trailer is still going up then it comes slamming back down. Did seem to notice a little more...

    Bedroom Slide not working

    After working fine for almost past year, motor didn't work again today. This time the slide was all the way out I was trying to retract it, so I could get to the motor and found it was getting power. Tapped on the motor with a hammer a few times and voila it's working again, but for how long I...

    Scare light always on can't turn it off

    Yep it was the switch in the front panel, I just flipped it on-off and the light went off :) hooray! I still have issue with my fuel pump switch I have to push it few times to get the timer to come on. Probably need to order some spares. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Thank you! Ah yes, the mood lights I completely forgot about those! Been a while since I last used the awnings due to wind and weather. Finally time for me to label my switches I think :)

    New Goose box hitch attached

    20k goosebox arrived this week, and I installed today. No issues the goosebox lined up fine, as it recommends in instructions I installed one hole lower than the pinbox I took off. Clearance is good. I installed it myself by using a floor jack in bed of truck to raise it into place. It is heavy...

    Scare light always on can't turn it off

    Hmm thinking some more about this I don't remember turning this light on, does someone else with Cyclone know is the switch for this rear driver side light in back, or in the front panel? As I recall it's in back but it's odd that there are 2 switches with speaker wire on them. Maybe they go to...

    Scare light always on can't turn it off

    Cyclone has been in parked for past 2 months, pulled it out yesterday and turned 12v switch on and noticed the rear driver side scare light was on. Thought hmm I must have left the switch on, but checked inside and switch is off. Parked it at the house for couple days and light stayed on entire...

    New Goose box hitch attached

    New Goose box hitch attached

    I have decided to go with Goosebox. Anderson hitch is interesting option too, but I am hoping the air bag/shocks in the Goosebox will help with the chucking. Went to eTrailer to order but looks like there are 3 different options depending on the pin box. Anyone here know which pinbox is used on...

    Few inverter install questions

    Thanks. If I could get 4-6 hours TV time off inverter with my existing 2 batteries I would be happy. I have satellite receiver too that probably pulls about as much as the led TV.

    Few inverter install questions

    Wow I see now why Magnum is inverter of choice, after reading specs for it, and learning it has transfer switch and charger built in. I am going to wait then until I can afford this option. Until then will just buy a cheap portable inverter and run extension cord to the TV :)

    Few inverter install questions

    Hi I'm considering installing inverter in my Cyclone so I can power some electronic devices without needing to run generator. Don't need to run microwave, just want to power tvs and satellite receivers, cell phone chargers. I would like this to be integrated into 120v main supply. I have 2 12v...

    CA Yosemite Lakes - Greely Hill or Priest?

    Hi All, thanks for the advice. Arrived last night. Exited 99 in Merced and took Snelling rd/G St. Up to 59, then picked up 120 at Keystone. There is bridge work on 120 after Chinese camp over the lake before priest grade they close the road at 5pm I came through about 3:30 at that time...

    CA Yosemite Lakes - Greely Hill or Priest?

    I suppose this would be the safest option but adds 40miles over Merced/59, 60miles more to avoid 49 (which after your feedback is a given now).

    CA Yosemite Lakes - Greely Hill or Priest?

    Thanks I'll go new priest then! And will avoid 49. Any thoughts on 59 thru Snelling and LA Grange? I zoomed in on Google don't see any hairpins... But I would not want to get up that way and encounter low bridge.

    CA Yosemite Lakes - Greely Hill or Priest?

    Thanks for noting that, I was not even looking at 49 but now I see that's very windy too :( OK so it looks like I would need to go thru Modesto which is adding a lot of extra miles and at least one more hour, but maybe a shortcut turn off 99 at Merced and try what looks like a relatively...
