5th wheel

I was looking at some FR 5th wheels and came across this deal from BEST RV :D Its almost 94% off the MSRP.

We are upsizing from 27’ travel trailer to a 39+’ 5th wheel. I don’t think my F250XL Super Duty Crew Cab with 5.4L gas and 3.83 ratio is sufficient for towing the new rig here in Arizona. New rig hitch weight is about 2400lbs, and fully loaded weighs in around 14,000lbs. My questions... •...

We have a 2014 Rockwood 8289WS with Torflex axles/suspension system. We have noticed a lot of abnormal wear on the tires and when our son was following behind us on a camping trip, he noticed the trailer was out of line when towed. Any suggestions on how/where to have it realigned to prevent...

When we came home from camping, we noticed a piece of metal shaped like a 9 in the bed of the truck after unhooking. While trying to find where it came from my husband noticed one of the rivets behind the jaws had failed. Our 5th is a 2014 Puma 253fbs and we pull it with a 2005 Dodge Ram...

Now that summer is here, I am having problems keeping my 5th wheel cool. Traveling 5-6 hours at a time, the temperature inside my 5th wheel reaches 110 degrees when I open it up at the campground destination. My chocolate bars are melting. (I could put them in the frig, but then I would have to...

There is a sticker in the Garage area that states pin weight should be kept between 10 to 15%. I am under the impression that 5th wheels should be 15 to 20%, please advise.

As the thread title state's, I am curious if putting 2 plates on will help bucking. There is at least a 3/8 to 7/16" gap between the king pin and hitch jaws on my RV. a second plate would take up the slop and help keep the RV from bouncing up and down on the King Pin.

My wife wants to know how many more pairs of shoes and clothing she can buy without putting our Cedar Creek 5th Wheel overweight. From reading other posts, I think I got this right, just want verification. The GVWR of the 5th wheel is 16,407 lbs Two axles, each GAWR 7,000 lbs (I am not...

Moving to a 5th Wheel and ready to sell the 2306 Mini Lite. Here is a question/s that someone might know. On the 5th Wheel Hitch, the location should be straight above the Rear Axle of the towing vehicle. If my understanding is correct and you have the Cab to Trailer clearance, you can move...

where is the DC converter on a 2002 forest river cardinal 5th wheel?

I have a Husky EZ Slider 16K hitch that I originally purchased for my 6.5' bed F150 and a smaller 5th wheel. When we upgraded the 5th wheel, we also upgraded the tow vehicle to a F350 diesel dually and put the hitch into it with new rails. The problem is that the hitch handle is too hard to...

and use plug-in infrared heaters instead, will my 40 gallon freshwater holding tank freeze in the cold weather? I ask this question because I've held off filling my holding tank until this warmer weather, just to be safe. I live full time in a 1995 Coachmen Royal 360RK 5th wheel...37 feet long.

Ever since we purchased this hitch it has always been a pain in the butt hooking up. So today it would not latch at all, so I pushed on the “trigger” and works fine, run camper back into hitch nothing, it looks like my “trigger” either got spun or broke, it’s not even close to the king pin...

I recently upgraded to a used Ford Super Duty that has a goose neck ball already in the floor of the box. Instead of mounting my old Curt sliding hitch in the bed I'm considering a 15" drop down goose neck adapter that would mount to my king pin on the 5th wheel. I'm looking at two different...

I have a short bed truck towing a 2008 Surveyor 5th wheel that does not have the rounded corners. It is possible to turn in such a way that the corner of the trailer will contact the cab of the truck. Is anyone aware of either a commercially available device (or a homemade one) that will warn...
