5th wheel

I have room to lower hitch one more inch ... Is there any advantage? I am able with my new air assist springs to get TV and Camper level ... any suggestions .... Thanks

So I moved my 5er this weekend for the first time since bringing it home. I got it to my spot and the landing gear button in the front (outside by the hitch are) failed to operate. I was unable to drop the landing gear to remove the trailer from the truck. I was able to use the panel inside...

Greetings. I own a 2019 Columbus 366RL and was wondering if anyone out there has a Columbus and has experienced any type of slide issue. The main issues seems to be that the off door slide itself is not lined up correctly. meaning, when fully extended, I can place my hand through on one side...

Looking to purchase a Chaparral 360IBL. I want to have a "plan B" if I can't get it up my driveway without bottoming out. My driveway starts with a uphill, but then levels out. If I can get it up the initial incline, I will be fine (see pictures). I don't have much towing/RV experience. Rented...

Just bought a used camper. We are going over it to take it up North and can't find the water pump or water holding tank. Can anyone help us? If anyone has a diagram that would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance.

I have a 2010 Rockwood 5th wheel. Om recent trip when we stopped one day we notice we had lost the glass from the hinge on the bedroom emergency exit window. Does anyone have a recommendation where I could get a new glass with handle, or replacement window, either salvage, used, or new. I live...

My new 5er has the Reese Revolution pinbox so when used as intended it won't rotate on the hitch head. Just wondering what lubrication folks are using on the top plate of the fifth wheel hitch. With the wedge in place I don't think I can use a teflon disc.

Hello all, I’m new here and new to 5th wheel trailers. Well, I will be soon. I’m in the process of selling my current bumper trailer and hopefully buying a Chaparral X-lite 295x. While my other trailer sells I’ve been trying to research hitch among other things and would really like to run a...

I going to replace the tires and grease the bearings on my 5th wheel. I would like to know the best way to jack it up. Should I leave it connected to my truck or disconnected it and let it seat on the front leg supports? I'm concern it I let it set on the leg supports it will damage them. Would...

I just bought a 2016 F350 short bed, and I pull a Cedar Creek 38CK. I had an 01 F250 with a slider hitch but never needed to use the slide option. Looking at the B&W Companion with goose neck, no slider. Has anyone had any clearance issues with this setup ?

Has anyone made the conversion from single power jacks on a 5ver to independent power jacks? It appears to me that I must remove the tailing leg and cross shaft and replace it with a complete power leg, gear box, and drive motor power plus switch harness. Anyone have any links or write ups...

I have always had a towable trailer with a Load Leveler Hitch. So I have a 2002 Chevy Crew Cab 2500HD with a Duramax and Allison trans. and we just bought 8528CKWS 31 ft. And I bought the Andersen Hitch setup. My handbook on the truck says it is rated GCWR of 20,000 LBS. Between truck and...

This is all 100% markitecture but Im curious if anyone out here actually has a 1/2 5th Wheel. If so, which model and what are you towing it with? My Ford F150 Platinum is GVWR is about 7000lbs, and the combined weight with cargo/passengers is 1571lbs. I have P series tires on my truck so I...

We currently have a 2007 RAM 2500 2WD and are looking to upgrade to a 2017 or 2018 RAM 4x4. My question, will I have issues towing our 8289WS level with either of the 2500 or the 3500? Also is the 3500 higher than the 2500? Thanks in advance.

Fresh newbie to the 5th wheel world, got myself a 5th wheel travel trailer and an 2001 Ford F350. Trying to determine which hitch is best to install and what details I should look for in a hitch without being tricked by a sales guy in a hitch shop, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, I'm stumped and need some insight. I have a 2014 Forrest River Work and Play Fifth Wheel Toyhauler. It is the M-38RLS. I recently plugged a electric grill into the outside 110 outlet located above the wheel wheel on the front side of the camper. The grill was not heating up so I...

We are making the jump from a TT to a 5th wheel and need to purchase a good used truck. I'm figuring a 3/4 ton with a crew/extended cab, and probably gas instead of diesel due to cost. Should I look for 4x4 or is 2WD sufficient. I have no allegiance to any brand but my son is a GMC man and my...

I recently bought a new to me B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch base. The old base I had was the u-bolt style base that held the post in a fixed position (the post I am referring to is what is inserted into the turnover ball hitch that is installed underneath the truck). The updated version of the...

Hello: This form has been so helpful for us!! We are in our 4th year of snow birding from MN - so lucky this year considering the weather they are having. We are considering leaving our RV in Florida instead of dragging back & forth. Of course it really worries us the heat etc. Can you share...

My back isn't as strong as it once was so that makes the pulling of the 5th wheel release lever painful when it has a bit of a bind on it. I always try to make sure it's not in a bind before unhitching but still about 3 or 4 out of 10 times it doesn't pull freely. I thought I saw somewhere an...
