RE: GOT MY (LT) MAN CARD.....I did IT!!!!!
Please keep this thread going. I'd love to know how well they work for you.
It just seems so "common sense" to go this route. Its my plan for the next round of trailer tires.

RE: A Shout Out to...
I too enjoy hearing of stories like this. Wish it was more often.
I have had the worst service ever from Heartland but when when they do well for a customer, its good to hear.

RE: Difference between single rear wheel and dually rear wheel
Obviously, a dually can handle more load; both on the pin and oftentimes behind the truck. 1 ton SRW trucks are commonly rated a couple of thousand lbs. less on the rear axle than a comparable DRW 1 ton truck. That is why we went from an F350 SRW to a dually.
Many here will also tell you they like the stability of the dually better. We had an F350 SRW and then bought an F450 dually. Pulling our Cyclone, I never had stability problems with either truck. The SRW truck pulled our big Cyclone through some wicked storms and it was as stable as what I have now. But that's just me.

RE: Enclosed ATV/UTV Trailers
This is very likely going to be a local opinion. What's popular in NC will very likely be unheard of in Utah. Seems enclosed manufacturers are a dime a dozen these days.
You have the big names like Pace and Featherlite. You can't go wrong with them but you'll very likely pay extra for the name. I'd ask around the local ATV dealerships and riding areas. Maybe visits some tracks and ask some folks.
Good luck. :)

RE: Voltage 3895 Versus Cyclone 3800
After looking at Voltage haulers in the Charlotte area, I'm going to guess Camping World in Statesville or Hendersonville, NC. But that's just guessing.

RE: Voltage 3895 Versus Cyclone 3800
Wise choice. And congrats.
Two questions.
1. If you don't mind, where'd you purchase from? I know of no dealer that carries both brands but I don't know too many Charlotte area dealers anyway. We got out Cyclone at RV Outlet but they don't carry Voltage.
2. Do y'all race those bikes?

RE: NASCAR at it finest ........huh?
It was so embarrassing to go on the NASCAR website and see the big banner telling people to vote for their driver for the All-Star race. On the banner was a big picture of Danica. :(
I rarely watch it anymore anyway. Its nothing like the old days. Oh well.

RE: Voltage 3895 Versus Cyclone 3800
As a present Cyclone owner of two years, I'd HIGHLY recommend the Voltage. Our Cyclone is well documented on this forum site as a poorly performing camper. Its been many, many failures after another and dealing with the manufacturer has felt like a slap in the face.
On the technical side, that third AC would be sweet. Our Cyclone takes forever to cool down the living areas with two ACs. We rarely even try to cool down the garage area unless its at night. Then we have to set up a fan in the living room blowing cool air into the garage.

I live just a few miles from Lizard Lick. Yep, the towing business really does exist.

RE: 2012 Raptor with Towmasters = BOOOM!!!
With all the problems these mfg's know of the china tires. Why do they continue to put these on the heaviest of trailers?
Well said. Here's my memory from last August.

RE: Use of Orange/Yellow cones is a must!
What makes you think someone who can't see your F450 will indeed see your 48" cone? Just wondering.

RE: Poll: Did you go larger?
Had a 30' Puma TT for four years.
Then got a 32' Sabre TT for a year.
Then started quad racing. Now have a Cyclone that's almost 45' long.
When we sell it, we'll probably get a race trailer and the minimum will be a 48'. Maybe longer.

RE: Puma unleashed 356
Good choice. Although not one of the "fancier" toy haulers like a Raptor, Cyclone, etc., they are good RVs. We had a Puma TT for four years and it was so much more dependable than our Cyclone, you'd be amazed.
Biggest negative to us was the width. They are around 96" inside. Almost impossible to squeeze two quads in side by side. But that may be of no issue to you and your needs.
That truck should be fine. Happy camping. :)

RE: Lawn Tractor engine filter rip-off
Virtually every Kawasaki mower engine requires a 49065 filter. Or you can go down to AutoZone and get an STP 4967. Most other brands like Fram use the same number (4967).
They are around $3-$4. I've used them for years on all my Kawasaki powered commercial mowers.

RE: 2012 Dutchman Voltage Review
Expecting perfection on something this big and complicated at this price point is a lost cause.
There are RV manufactures that offer lifetime warranties, but you have to write a check in the deep 7 digits.
I'd have to disagree with this. Your average car is WAY more complicated than any normal RV, can cost way less as well, and offers 5 times the warranty at a minimum. Factor in that most vehicles will see mileage that makes most RVs road time pale in comparison and that warranty difference becomes even greater. My last truck cost $33,000, had 66,000 miles on it when I sold it, and had not one single failure that wasn't a wear item, IE tires/brakes/batteries.
You can build a fairly nice HOUSE, on LAND, FURNISHED, for the cost of a middle of the market RV.
Construction quality is crap, plain and simple. You need only pull off a basement wall to view the mess behind it to realize how much pride in work there is in the RV industry.
That's one of the best posts I've seen on here in quite awhile. Well put.

RE: 2012 Dutchman Voltage Review
To be fair, I would buy again from GENERAL RV. They are trying to make things right and so far have been good to work with.
That helps a TON.
RV Outlet will definitely get my business again. It just won't be for another Cyclone.

RE: RDS Auxilary Fuel Tank
I have the 90 gallon auxiliary tank with a gravity flow setup. Bought it at Northern Tool and my Ford dealer did the install. Its been perfect, except if I don't shut the fuel flow off at the tank, it will leak some when the truck sits for a long time. We think its coming out of the vent lines of the stock tank.
Probably something we'll fix over the winter.
Mine has the tool box on top. It locks at the cap and the box lid locks. Its been great. 125 gallons to fill up when I'm on empty.
