Well it's a done deal - thanks for all the feedback, we went with the 2014 Voltage 3895.
After spending about 4.5 hours with both units side by side the choice became pretty clear. The few things that had kept the Cyclone in the running were ultimately over ruled by the benefits of the Voltage...
Not really knocking the Cyclone because I do think it is a good coach on the front end, I think the Voltage has better long term potential.
Just to review in case helpful to others searching similar. I also did a little comparison to the Fuzion as the dealer I purchased from is also a Fuzion dealer.
The three season doors are not that sturdy - between my son n me I can see one of us breaking something pretty easily. If we decide we really need them, Voltage now has them available....
While the bigger L shaped couch is nice, it was not even mildy comparable to the Voltae. Voltage changed to residential type commercial furniture - the Cyclone furniture is built in the factory along with the rest of the coach - No comparison.
Overall fit n finish of the coach.
Full door frames rather than open tops.
Entertainment center - look n feel n finish. 50" TV...
7k axles / 19k GVWR on Voltage - we would have been over loaded on the Cyclone after bikes, tools n parts before we ever got to food, cloths n other supplies...
Several of the items that 2010 - 2012 voltage owners had issues with have been addressed / corrected;
In addition to third slide guide on all slides, they increased the size of the slide moters on the 2014 models.
They put a 12v radio system in - someone said earlier models only had 110v sound systems
Outside stereo controls
Main living area floor flexed under my footsteps on Cyclone - nothing on Voltage
Additional room in master bedroom was so much easier to navigate with
Thermostat with 3 seperate controlled zones - 3rd A/C unit - after so many comments about heating / cooling issues with Cyclone...
Don't need 88* nose / turning radius - I have a long bed F350 - that impacted inside area of bedroom on Cyclone
Larger shower enclosure
Double grey n black tanks and 160 gal fresh water
Outside water n sewage service center / controls
I could go on, though I think I am really starting to sound a little partial... :)
I am sure there will be a few issues that come up - this is my third toy hauler and these things are not perfect...
I have a high level of confidence in the dealer we chose, and now in the coach we chose so am comfortable we will work though any issues that arise. I am going to do the warranty plan even through I normally do not do extend warranties - with things like the hydrolic leveling, slide outs, 4 TV's, rear mechanical bunks, etc, I think it is worth the cost of $1,400 for 6 years
Thanks again for all the replies. We will be using the coach for 5 consecutive weekends two days after we take delivery next weekend so I will be able to give some pretty fast feedback....
Congrats! Thank you for the rundown and now...PICTURES!
I would like to know where you found dealer with both. A side by side comparison would have been nice.
