Ok am getting ready to buy my first fifth wheel and am trying to determine if what I am told at the Lot and what I have read on the net is true. The fifth wheel has a residential fridge. Does the inverter and batteries help keep the fridge cool while I am towing the rig between home and...

May have gotten in over my head. We bought a 365SAQB last summer. We typically go camping with seven or eight people, so we needed the space. I also bought a 2001 F350 dually pick up. I honestly thought that a 7.3 dually truck could comfortably tow anything I put on it. Unfortunately, I have...

I presently have a Curt 18,000 which is 6 years old. ( bought it new ). Issue: unless dead level; unhitching ( releasing the locking mechanism) can be difficult. We often unhitch even on overnight stops to enjoy local restaurants. Please share your hitch experience. Thanks

Anyone use one of these in their trucks for towing their fifth wheels? I've already got the B&W turnover in my truck, looking at tossing in a companion with it, but then found this guy. Seems like this would give me my fifth wheel AND almost an air ride pin at the same time. Added bonus for...

Hello all from Rushville,Indiana. Hope to see some of you out there at Indiana's great state parks.

My (new to me) 2015 Cedar Creek Silverback 31RK was delivered from texas yesterday. I contracted with one of the online bidding transport companies to do the work. Which I must say was an excellent experience.:cool: The truck used to tow my trailer was a 2016 short bed GMC 2500 HD. While helping...

I'm sure this discussion has been had before but I am looking for suggestions on how to load my kayaks when towing the 5er. I'd prefer to keep them on the truck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Okay, so I'm just kinda brainstorming here and looking for input. I'm pretty much an "off-the-grid" camper who recently moved into a TH that I had modified for off-road travel. So far it has only limited me slightly, but I've also pushed the envelope on where I take it. I like to be out...

Can I leave my fifth wheel attached to TV overnight? Should I still try to level and should I put down stabilizer jack and front leveling jacks? Also if not hooked up to electric will battery of RV drain my TV battery. Thanks. Asking for when we are on the road and only making quick overnight...

The rear tires of my fivr seem to be wearing on the inside ...rest of tire is ok and front tires are good...can you tell me if this is normal or can there be an alignment done on these rear wheels Thanks

Took out our new Rockwood this past weekend for a trial run. A few minor things need fixing but nothing that really changes camping in it. A rear door seal that need replacing due to gasket being twisted resulting in very difficult opening of door and screen on front door creating a problem...
