    Solar-Ready 5th Wheel and proprietary port

    Hi all, so I'm ready to go for solar. I like the Renogy 200 Watt Eclipse. I've read on there site that it only hooks directly to the battery. That stinks since my Flagstaff 529BH 5er has the plug in spot. And I can't hardly pick up those batteries. Someone said you have to pull them out of...

    5th Wheel King Pin Stabilizer Jack

    My 295rsx fifth wheel rv is horrible when it comes to being stable when people are walking inside it or in bed moving around, I used to have JT Strong arms on my older RV and it worked well. Does anyone else have this issue? Is the 5th Wheel King Pin Stabilizer Jacks any good? Mike

    5th wheel hitch - plugging ball hole?

    I've got a BW Companion hitch in the bed of my truck. I need to get some mulch so I took it out. How do you guys plug up the hole when you want to use the bed of your truck to haul something loose? I was thinking of just taping some cardboard over it? There has to be a smarter way though!

    Cherokee 255rr 5th Wheel Toy Hauler

    i can't bump an old thread. The 255rr really peaks my interest due to it being a lighter 5'er toy hauler and not being 40' long at the same time. Does it ride well? I've seen the newer units now can come with a bed that comes down from the ceiling in the back! Do the older units come with the...

    Hello Everyone, Just picked up my Rockwood/Signature 29 ft 5th wheel. I noticed the Turning Point Pin Box really bounces when I hit a dip. My past 5th wheel didn't bounce like that. I'm wondering is it about the extended tongue. I also saw about on utube about a wedge block that did not come...

    Backflushing the black on a 5th wheel

    My previous trailer was a tag a long, the grey on one side of the dump, the black on the other so backflushing when draining was easy and I rarely used the black tank flush, the grey tank would do a really good job of breaking up whatever was stuck in the black tank. I now have a 5th wheel that...
