Soon to be new Wildcat Owner

I'm excited I order my 2010 Wildcat 31thsb about 2 months ago and it will be ready to pickup Friday!! Can't wait to get it! I've owned campers before but have always had a Jayco, this will be my first Wildcat. Any other owners of the 31THSB out there? I bought that one as it has the drop down side door to load my bike into. I think I've looked at the pictures a hundered times of other ones but never actually been in one. So I can't wait. We will take her out on its maiden voyage this weekend. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Let me know if anyone else has or has had a 31THSB that can give me some pointers!

Theres a couple owners on here, they should chime in to help you out on pointers. I've wanted one, but decided I'll keep my 32Qbbs and just put a bike rack on the back bumper and keep the bed space.

Welcome to the forum. Take some pic's when you take the cat out, theres a few bike and off road riders on here.

Welcome. When you get time, fill out your profile and signature. Is 31thsb a toy hauler?

Welcome to the world of Wildcat camping.

Thanks everyone! Yes the 31THSB is a side drop toy hauler. I plan on putting my 99 Harley Softail Night Train in there. I know it will be a little tight but if I turn it a little sideways it should fit nice in there. Plus the "Toy Hualer" portion also has two drop down beds so the kids are looking at it as their own private room! Will post picks of the setup once we get out camping this weekend.

Thanks again for everyone's welcoming support!

Sounds good!!! Looking forward to the pics.

from Ft. Worth!

I think hoghauler added a little bubble to the outter side where the front wheel would go to make it fit perfect. I'm like you though, I'd just as soon park it in the corner and pack it in than wack a hole in the side.

The 31THSB is a nice unit. Although, I have a dresser and a local dealer let me run it up the ramp to see if it would fit when we were shopping for a new unit. Guess he really wanted to make a sale. Unfortunately, the bike was to long even when I angled it in. Would have been nice to bring along the dresser, but having loads of fun in the camper as it is (we have a 31TS).

Good luck with your new unit. Sure it will bring you loads of fun also.

Congratulations. We are looking forward to our maiden voyage this weekend also in our new cat.

Well I got the new Cat out this last weekend and loved it! Got the Harley loaded in (sorry forgot to take pics of the bike loaded, guess I got too excited), I did have the dealer install support plates under the tie down straps just for more support. Loaded the bike and yeah it was about a inch too long, picked up the back end and swung it over about a foot and it fits great! The toy hauler floor is about a 1.5 foot lower than the rest of the camper so loading/unloading was a breeze.

The only problem we had with the camper is the hot water didn't seem to work right, after a little digging I figured out that the hot water heater bypass valves all three of them where open, closed the bypass and HOT water!! Other than that everything worked great. One other thing I also noticed this weekend was even though there were probably only 15 total campers in the campground 10 of them had to wander over and check out the new Cat!! I guess I'll have to get used to that, now that I own a Cat! .

I changed my Avatar to show a picture of the Cat and my Truck while still sitting in my driveway, maybe next time camping I'll take more pictures and upload them.

Now I just have to do a little browsing here to see where everyone mounts the bathroom hardware, extra shelves for TV's, etc.. and get the nerve up to drill some holes.

Glad the trip went good. I still can't drill holes in mine.

So I guess that means no help from you, huh! Yeah the wife was ready to start hanging things right away. I said lets take a trip or two to make sure exactly where we want things mounted.

There are some brave souls on here who have actually cut holes in the exterior like it was nothing
