My RV is in my sig but here's another shot or two. The Cyclone weighs in at 14,560 on the scales without toys (2 R1200GS motorcycles) but otherwise ready to camp, the truck weighs 8,420. I was a little concerned about going with the single rear wheels but it hasn't been an issue - the shorter sidewall on the 20" wheel means a stiffer ride but no sway at all even in heavy crosswinds. I do have the heaviest springs all round and added a rear sway bar just for extra stability. Mileage towing up and down the hills of Vermont runs between 10 and 12. This truck is a towing monster.





And of course the toys

I come in around 8900 with just me and fuel. More like 25K loaded heavy for a cross country run.

Got one coming up in July

Shawn - Beautiful park, great rides and vehicles there (that is a gorgeous red).

Boy, Toyhaulers have been a real boon to the RV market. To think, when we bought our 88 Jayco, I don't know of any being built back then.

Thanks Thomas. I see more and more toyhaulers on the road these days. And a lot of people don't have toys in the garage: either animals (makes a great kennel), or people who sell out of the back of their rig (curios, rugs, paintings, etc), or other uses. The big open space is so versatile you can use it for almost anything.

Our rig is a 2007 and we look at new ones for $100,000+ and just shake our heads. No way we want to take onb that kind of debt for something that depreciates so fast.

I had to order the truck to get the Ruby Red Metallic - I love the color. When it's clean it really pops but it does show the dirt and we live on a dirt road in the country so I am constantly washing it. I like the color scheme on your truck - goes really well with the RV - look almost like they were meant for one another. But you have the same issue with dirt on the truck.

Brrrrr.

I saw that red and it reminded me of my 03 Cobra I had in Redfire. Looks very much the same. And yes, they both look great in the sun.



You would have thunk that I would have learned something with my previous 08 350 in black (clean for about 20 minutes). Live and not learn, that's my motto.

Supporting the big three as it were...

From left to right, first one hauls the heavy toys, second one hauls almost as much with the Hemi, and the last one hauls a**......
