    Reese Goose Box

    We started with a ranch hand goose on our 3850, it was the worst decision we have ever don't, the chucking was horrible and the ride was awful! Once I changed to the companion it was so much better and with the tilt control it made a much better ride, I did like the ease of the goose neck and it...

    Satellite on 2011 3850

    I have a 2010 3850 and it had sat and cable piped from the factory, I did not use the factory wiring at the rear tv and when they did the dish install because of my A/C in the bedroom and fantastic fan in bathroom they had to install the dish over the garage. I had them run the cable to the...

    Parking triple axle

    we found the same thing, even though it is capable of over 88 Deg turning i have had mine over 90, the tires will flex but just some prior planning and less sharp turn will take care of it all, triples will drag more than doubles just by design but if you keep the tire pressure up it will be ok...

    Difference between 2009, 2010, & 2011 Cyclone 3914

    you also can look at the website, i found on our 2010 there were a few "options" the dealer told me about but when i did the research i found that they were actually standard configuration on the 2010 so we got those "upgrade" charges removed I agree with Bob and Patty, calling the factory is...

    2011 model landing jacks

    Thanks Jim, I was thinking if it is a decent retro fit, including some rear jacks and then leveling computer should be easy as well, then again if it is too much then a full hyd leveling kit may be the way to go again thanks all for the info

    i was wondering about the tanks draining through the front, but i have 4 knife valves, the black and grey up front, then another set of knife valves in the back, of course none are marked just the door and it seems odd not to mark the handles, the factory told me that the forward knife valve...
