    Ghost in my Fifth Wheel

    Creepy! True Story. So I was walking around outside, looking at the chickens, watching the cats, and opened up the garage doors getting ready for a busy sunny day around the house. Pulled off the top of the baby duck pen and was checking out my new ducklings when all of a sudden, I heard music...

    Fifth Wheel Hitch??

    I need your help. I'am needing to buy a new fifth wheel hitch and need some advise. My Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW) is 10,895. And my fifth wheel vehicle weight rating is 14,000 lbs. How do I determine what size of hitch I need to buy? Will a 16K work? Seems like it jumps from 16K to 20K...

    What do you carry in your 5th wheel?

    I am having a really hard time imagining how much stuff I will be able to have in a 5th wheel if I get one for full-time living. I've seen the inside of one but my sense of space and volume and my ability to envision it when it's not right in front of me is shockingly poor. I'd be grateful if...

    rear hitch on fifth wheel

    We have a 2017 Rockwood ultra lite 2440ws and we want to put a hitch on the rear to pull our Kawasaki teryx 4 on a 12ft trailer. Has anyone done this? If so what kind of hitch was it and was there anything that had to be done to before it was put on? Any modifications?

    New fifth wheel issues

    So my fifth wheel just came from the factory to the dealer and they found that someone at the factory drilled into my grey water tank. Also, roof paint was not dry when sealant went on and all sealant is bubbled up. Very disappointed in factory quality assurance process.

    Height of Fifth Wheel

    I'm getting a little concerned about the height of my Forest River WildCat maxx 5th wheel (2015 272rlx). Right now it is 13 feet high as measured in the garage with a laser. That's okay for most roadway travel. I can certainly monitor that. The problem is trees and overhangs in campgrounds...

    Storing fifth wheel on tripod with jacks retracted

    Picked up Cedar Creek Silverback 29RE yesterday. Was recommended during PDI to store during winter and between trips on a king pin tripod with front jacks retracted. The reasoning was to protect pistons from elements and keep them from getting surface rust that could tear seals. The hitch...

    Why are they called fifth wheels?

    I was wondering how fifth wheels got their name. Other than their method of coupling, they are just a larger trailer.
