I have tried for the life of me to figure it out but am at a loss...

    5th Wheel Furniture Replacement

    Hi, Well we have come to the point that our 2014 Wildcat 312BHX no longer suits our needs. Both kids will be in college this fall and well, honestly they have not fit into the bunks in a couple of years. Next up will most likely be a travel trailer for us, I am not a big fan of putting the...

    Thanks in advance for any advice. I have a 2007 Rockwood 5th wheel. The non door side front jack is not working correctly. It lowers just fine but does not raise properly. It will start to raise until most of the weight is off of it but then I have to pull hard up on it for it to continue to...

    Grumpy rant about 120v wiring in my Rockwood 5th Wheel
