This forum will not upload images from your computer. You need to upload them to a "photobucket" type site or on your own webserver if you have one. Then you paste in the URL for the image in the image editor box.

Many forums, like this one, do not allow you to upload pictures. You have to upload your pictures to a picture hosting site, like photobucket.com. Photobucket is free and easy enough to use. The URL would be pointing to a your hosted pictures.

Thanks for the heads up. We ordered our 3010 yesterday and since I knew what was coming we were able, through our dealer, to get them to cut us another kidney shaped table for the garage. While we were at it, we had them delete the outside speakers (which should be illegal anyhow).

Gosh, reading everything you both are writing about your 3010's makes me very anxious to see ours! I am having a hard time waiting. We were told the 2011 have a few adjustments based on customer's suggestions, so anxious to see what they are. We will be getting the kidney shaped table for the garage. We told them we did not want the 2X3 table and there was no problem with that. I too would like to see what the side tables near the bed look like, Anita.
Patrick is good with his hands too.  He installed the Amp Research electric sidesteps and lights on our new truck a week ago. He just finished installing the Pullman Super Glide 18K in our truck bed and is now installing this large tool box in the bed for the Viair Air compressor and tank for the airbags and air tools. Then he's going to install the Bargman 7-pin 5th Wheel Adapter.
I too am sorry to hear about your bed spread, Diana. Thanks for the heads up. I would have done that too.

In the end I think it will be ok, because we can now turn the kitchen seat into a flat bed pretty easily and now we can cuddle and watch tv.
Diana, I couldn't tell if the flat bed was very wide. Is it big enough for 2 people to comfortably sleep throughout the night, or is really just big enough for one person to sleep or two people to cuddle and just watch tv for a while?

Well, we just got back from a 2 night stay in the new trailer. It pulled pretty good and didn't seem to degrade our gas millage any from our old fb2200 (22' toybox). It is taking a bit to get used to all the new little things we need to make sure are secure. We forgot to lock down the TV for the drive home. It couldn't really move far but I'm sure it isn't good having it loose. I did make up a tag to leave on the steering wheel as a check list of things to check before leaving but that wasn't one of them. I will be adding it to the list though.
The trailer worked pretty well. It did get cold the first night and the heater works well. It didn't seem to take long to heat up the coach and didn't seem to drain the batteries near as fast as our old heater did. We defiantly will be needing to add a few things here and there to hang things on. We will probably try to add a small inverter to run a TV in the bedroom so we won't have to run the generator while in bed. We put the little insert into the kitchen couch to turn it into a bed. We watched a movie while there and cuddled and it was very comfortable for the 2 of us.
The water pumped worked ok but it sounded like we had a ghost howling when it ran. In the morning since it was cold the garage was really cold. I'm not sure I'd be having any one sleep out there any time soon without running the generator and a portable heat supply.
I guess the biggest thing we learned was don't leave ANY thing light in the bed of the truck. We had 4 brand new light plastic wheel chocks when we left and arrived with 2. Then only came home with one. I even saw one of them flying out of the bed of the truck on the way home so now we have a good idea what happened to the first 2.
I was able to tow 3 dirt bikes but I have no idea how I will be able to get a 4th in the garage if we get another spare bike.
So overall I'd have to give my first weekend an 8 out of 10. In time we will get all the little things we want to add added and learn how to make the coach work for us. One thing we need to look into is this electric awning thing. I extended it in a light breeze and the breeze kept turning it into a sail. It doesn't seem to want to lock out tight enough to use. It really wasn't that windy to where we wouldn't have put our old trailers awning out and left it. So I'm not sure yet what is up with that.
So that was pretty much our first weekend out.

I don't have a 3010, (yet), but you should be able to put at least 5 dirt bikes into an 8x10 garage. I put 5 bikes in my 8x8 regular trailer quite regularly. First I load the 3 in frontways and then back the 2 others in between the first three so they are all offset. Wheel chocks are a must if you aren't using them already.

Jeff made and installed end tables for our bedroom in our Cyclone 3010. Here is the link:

They work great. Perfect for that morning cup of coffee. He used 8" cheese wood cutting boards. Ordered them from Amazon $6.00 plus shipping each.
