    Feedback - Nose High - 5th Wheel Towing

    Would love some feedback - New to this community. The axles are already flipped. I have 6"-7" clearance from rails. I feel like I am slightly nose high. I would like to install some airbags to reduce some of the sag, but that is going to cause me to be a little higher on the nose. Any thoughts?

    Replacement 5th Wheel Pin Box

    Last year I picked up a FR Sabre 37FLH 5'er from Campingworld and am pretty happy with it so far. This is, by far, the longest (42ft+) and heaviest (12K lbs dry) RV I've ever owned, however, it's not my first RV nor first 5'er. On my way home from the dealership to NC, I traveled over some...

    5th Wheel umbilical cord question

    I just got a new F350 and it has the 7 pin connector in the left rear of the bed.

So this being new to me I am curious...

    5th Wheel Height

    How accurate are the height measurements that manufacturers put on their specs? We are looking at getting a new 5th Wheel, a Front Living one and most of them are 13" 6". I have a pole barn that has 13" 4" of clearance. Just wondering if that number they use is a safety factor or what.
