    Caulking 5th wheel is ridiculous

    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...

    Extending 5th Wheel Kitchen Cabinets to ceiling?

    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...

    New Digs on the 5th wheel

    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...

    We recently bought a used 2008 5th wheel trailer. The hitch (I think that is what you would call it) came with it.
