    5th wheel hitch questions

    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...

    Question: since I don't use propane to heat my 5th wheel camper...

    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.

    Pull right 5th wheel hitch

    5th Wheel Drop Down Goose Neck Hitch

    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...

    5th Wheel Jack-Knife Warning Device

    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...

    New to 5th Wheel - How to Fill Propane?

    We just bought a 5th wheel, and it has two ten-gallon tanks behind a door on the side. Our SunSeeker can have its built-in tank refilled at Love's or Travel America, just like pumping gas but stinkier. We cannot find a filler nozzle for the 5th wheel tanks. Do we have to take the tanks out...

    Palomino Puma 5th Wheel roof rubber issues

    We have bought a 10 year old 5th wheel here in Australia and being very new to the whole RV thing, didn't really know what to look for when inspecting it prior to purchase. The EPDM roof has no breaches at this stage but some of the edges have nearly broken through. We were going to do a Dicor...

    A couple ?s re: flat tow jeep behind 5th wheel

    I have seen this a couple times on the road, but never had a chance to chat with the owners.

    Outside kitchen - too “blue collar” for a 5th wheel?

    Ok, so before I get bashed, the title of the post is very tongue in cheek. But it is something we have been thinking about as we visit various shows and look at the possibility of moving up from out 36ft TT to a similar size 5th. One of the things we love about the TT is the outside kitchen...

    Add ceiling fan to 5th wheel?

    I’d like to add a ceiling fan in the living/kitchen area of our 17 XLR Nitro 36T15. I was thinking of pulling power from of the ceiling lights but I am concerned about the structure being strong enough for the fan. Has anyone added a ceiling fan? Any tips or tricks? Recommendations?

    Popping noise from front of 5th wheel

    2019 cedar Creek 36ck2. We are parked and daily we get a small pop noise and you can feel the trailer move or shake. It makes a similar sound to when your breaker kicks on. We are going to get cement blocks for each jack, to see if that helps.
