5th wheel

This morning (Oct 29) just east of Tucson, on I-10, I saw a pickup towing a 5th wheeler collapse in a driving lane. The truck frame completely collapsed just behind tne truck cab, mashed all the way to the roadbed. It was west bound, I was east bound when l drove past it. It was so quick I could...

I recently underwent major back surgery and had complications the will limit how much I can reach, pull, twist or lift. We currently have a Curt Q20 5th wheel hitch I have to stand on a stool and reach to lock and unlock, and of course pull the handle. I am wondering if anyone knows of a hitch...

I'm not a newbie to RV's, I've had a few towables for 20 years now. Just looking for thoughts on 5th wheel bed slides. My thoughts are this, having the bed, or a portion of it out of the unit, will lead to temperature variations due to the slide not being as insulated as the rest of the unit...

We are looking for a cover that will fit our 5th Wheel that is 13 feet tall. Any recommendations?

Hi folks. My Daughter just bought a 2007 Silver Creek Silverback 5th wheel, I think it's 35 feet long. I will have many questions over the next few months. I look forward to your help and advice.

Is anyone towing a 5.0TA with a 2019 Ford Ranger? If so what hitch are you using?

I have a Reese 5th wheel hitch. The head pan (plate) paint will not stay on. I re-painted it with rustoleum and on the first trip the paint was off again. I am using a lube plate so there is no grease on it. Does everyone else have this problem? Is using a lube plate a mistake? I am...

All, My wife and I have been camping for 10+ years now (1/2 ton with bumper pull), and getting ready to trade up to a 5th wheel. That means a new truck as well. We've already decided on a Forest River Sandpiper, hence why I am posting here. :) In looking for trucks, I have been surprised at...

Hi folks....looking for some advice and I hope I am in the right section of the forum for it...I would like to purchase 2 10' kayaks but I am not sure how I should haul them. I carry two bikes on the back of my 5th wheel now and I could buy or modify a platform to carry all and still be under my...

Hi, The front wall (the wall under the overhang) of our Wildcat 5th wheel separated from the side wall on our recent trip to the Grand Mesa. I, at first, thought we might have been sideswiped while on the interstate but there was no real damage other than the 1-2 inch separation between the...

Can someone please direct me to a link or manual that will explain how best to winterize Cedar Creek. I store it in a heated storage unit, but want to be extra careful in case the power should go out. Our Cedar Creek has a residential refrigerator with ice maker and a clothes washer. On my last...

I have a 2019 35' Sabre 30rlt, it's me and my wife's 1st rv and we love it. But, there is more maintenance than what we originally thought. Caulking is the main concern as we live in Florida with a lot of rain and extreme heat. Forrest River put silicone caulk on the rv which is insane to remove...

We have bought our first 5th wheel and now I am looking for a hitch. I have narrowed it down to a Curt, Reese or BW. I am looking any advice on which would be the best fit. We have a 2019 Cedar Creek 38FLX which has a GVW of 18000. I will be towing with a 2019 Ram 3500 dually.

Watching some videos on My RV. The volume is turned up all the way and I can barely hear the videos. Any thought would be appreciate.

Has anyone ever done this? Is there a reason they don't go to the ceiling? Is it a flex issue when the trailer is moving? I searched Google but only came up with kitchen remodels. To me it's a lot of wasted space that could contain and hide items not used all the time (blender, food...

Decided to scrap the Castlerocks, and go with the GY Endurance 225/75R15 this morning. $740 out the door. I figured it was worth the extra $50 to balance them. I went to a commercial GY dealer that is known for tire changes on Semi's. They did a great job, and settled on a tire pressure of...

This is my 2nd major trip in our 5th wheel. Some of the interstate highways are in pretty bad shape. I travel around 60 to 65 mph. Please advise on pros and cons of an air ride kingpin.

The water pump on my 2018 Chaparral 285RLS 5th Wheel stopped working. I have checked the circuit breaker but cannot locate the actual pump. Is it behind the water panel?

We recently bought a used 2008 5th wheel trailer. The hitch (I think that is what you would call it) came with it. I am having a horrible time finding someone to install it in the back of our pick-up. The one person that actually called me back said, "they would only install brand new hitches...

We are thinking of selling our 5th wheel for a bigger model. Any advice on the best way to do this? And where to find the best price to list it at? We were thinking around $20,000 but is that too high? First time trying to sell RV any advice appreciated. It’s a 2017 Forest River Rockwood UL...
