5thwheel

Thanks for adding me. I'm retired from LE and have been into camping for about 30 years. 20 of which are in a camper (I got too old and tired to sleep on the ground) I have a Keystone Sprinter Copper Canyon. I've a few 5'ers before this one but like it very much. I have a lot of questions...

My RV has 8k axles, with about 3300 pounds on each tire, less than 7k per axle, and I run about 110-115 in each tire, based on Goodyears inflation tables. The tread peeled off the left rear and this was the second time in the same location. The tire had less than 1000 miles on it, stays...

There is a convenient overnight spot on BLM land just off the north side of I-40 exit 151 in Arizona. There are no services, but If you're eastbound and want to overnight there dry, beware the bridge you must go under has a clearance of only 11 feet. To get to the BLM land on the north side...

Wrong state, see Arizona...

I see weights discussed all over these forums and thought there should be a thread here for just those discussions, questions, and answers. So now there is a thread for just these discussions on weight and balance. I'll start with my own figures on my heaviest weigh to date. I have a 2021...

My wife and I are on the search for a used 5th wheel. We know the things we want and don't want in a layout, and several basic features that we would really like. I don't think any of our requirements are new innovations or technology that points us to a almost new camper; we've been looking...

Hello Everyone! My name is Mike, I'm in Wisconsin and my wife and I are currently looking to buy our first 5th wheel. We had a travel trailer for several years until it was totaled in a hail storm last summer and we've been without a camper since. I'm happy to have found this forum, as we have...

G'day all: I'm Dave. I have a 2021 Silverado 3500, diesel, dually, CC, long bed, 2WD. I have a 2022, 43' 5th wheel toy hauler that weighs 21,000 lbs (VWR). To date, my longest trip so far was 12,800 miles last summer, Alabama to Alaska by way of Las Vegas, NV and back. I'm retired from my...

Hi, My family traveled frequently for 8 years in a Class A motorhome and retired it when the kids started to become competitive athletes that took us away from always traveling together. Kids are now pretty grown and in grad school and beyond leaving just two of us and a Great Dane and...

Are there any 41RKDB owners on here? How does it pull? Wifey and I really like the rear kitchen. My concern is the fridge, range and microwave are well rear of the axles. I wonder if they are going to get shaken to pieces back there. Plus that’s a lot of weight well behind the axles. Does it...

There is so little good intel on this issue, I decided to start this thread, to help anyone in this situation to know it can be fixed! I have a 2009 Sierra FR 255 RL 5th wheel Rv. We bought it used two winters ago, and my wife and I live in this full time. Like any Rv, new or used, they need...

I have installed an outlet in my RV garage, but now need one by the carport at my home for when it parked there after a trip. This time, I've decided to install a box with an additional 20 amp outlet, and it's own 50 amp circuit breaker. My confusion, with which I need advice, is how to wire it...

Hello all! I am a recent Air Force retiree ('22) with a passion for travel. Our family of four (and 2 pups) is embarking on a year-long full-time camping journey starting roughly in June. We have everything but the camper at this point so I am hoping to get some good pointers or perspectives...

Hi everyone, first post. I’m new to the 5th wheel world and have a couple of questions. I’ve got my eye on a 37’ trailer with an almost 2,800# hitch weight and a GVWR 16,500. I’d like advice on the tow vehicle. I’m planning on a one ton diesel but not sure if I need a dually or single wheel...

Guidance needed . . . our 2003 MS RV sat for the better part of 3 years. Now, I am having trouble moving the slides out. I crawled under and see there is a way to move the door slide out (?), but there is limited space to get in there and try to move the slide out. (Our RV is parked in a...
