    New to the 5th wheel life

    Thanks for having me. I'm new to the 5th wheel life. I went from a 26ft bumper pull toy hauler to a 41ft 355RE Forest River. I'm very happy so far. Bought used and have had some minor issues but nothing that I haven't been able to take care of myself. One awning issue that I've already...

    Jacking a 5th wheel

    I plan to install MORryde equalizers and wet bolts on my 3660, are the levelers enough to support the trailer, of should I jack the whole thing and place my Diesel stands under the frame? Doing one side at a time, so not looking to support the entire trailer on just the leveling jacks.

    5th Wheel Vibe with Dometic MK1311 Thermostat

    I think my Dometic MK1311 Thermostat controls a relay box up in the A/C. Since it does display current temp, I'd like to replace it with a simple digital unit that display both setting AND current temp. Can anyone reccomend a replacement? Thanks

    5th wheel hitch slips

    We have a CurtQ 5th wheel hitch. We checked it out because on first acceleration it feels like the is a lot of slipping at the hitch and then it jerks caught and 'catches up' with us. I saw 2 inches of movement in the white plastic piece. The RV repair guy took a look since we had it in for a...

    Just completed my first weekend trip with the arctic wolf 3660. All went great but being the first time towing a 5th wheel had a question. Have a b&w companion slider, what is the max side to side pivot? The exit to the campground has a decent incline followed by direct 90 onto flat ground...

    Hello everyone. Quick question just wondering if this is normal or not... I use the Anderson levelers. I only use these when the auto level gets the wheels off the ground on one side. Whenever I need to use the Anderson levelers when I release the hitch (B&W companion) the trailer goes back...

    In my first-timer inexperience, in 2020 I bought a 2010 FR Rockford Signature Ultra Lite 5th wheel (and we LOVE it!), and a 2016 Chevy 2500 HD Diesel to tow it. The trailer dealer installed the 5th wheel hitch in the truck without questions, and the truck hauls the trailer very nicely. My...
