fifth wheel

My father recently purchased a new Rockwood 8289WS, and the dealer installed a Curt E16 on a slider into his truck. On the way home, he is feeling some clunking, but being new to fifth wheel pulling, wasn't sure if that was the norm or not. Once home, we looked into it, and the pin is moving...

Just plain excellent condition. We pulled it and camped 4 times. Everthing works as it should. Kept in barn in winter and concrete pad in summer. Has extras, like push button leg extenders, and larger refrigerator. Big bathroom, can sleep 6 easily, but terrific for two. Weighs only 3500#...

We are converting to our first fifth wheel from a 32 foot travel trailer anything we should know besides the hitch is different and obviously differences in weight? Here's a photo of the new 5th wheel Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

So the wife and I went RV shopping yesterday. We originally went out looking for a vibe with a rear entertainment setup but didn't have any luck in our area. We then went to a dealer in Burlington WI and the salesman mentioned that they make half ton towables. I looked at him funny and said no...

I managed to find 2 badly deformed tires on the driver side of my Sabre fifth wheel 32BHTS. Both tires had deformed so badly that I couldn't even place a finger in between the two! These were the factory Akuret tires. I want to pull both wheels off and run to town to have new tires mounted -...

I know that the question of length has been brought up many, many times and it seems that there is no true answer but...I am looking more for a comparison, maybe. I currently have a 35' TT and I know how long my combo is (2004 RAM 3500 Quad cab) If I look at a similar size fifth wheel how much...

I just recently finished my mod to connect the galley drain, which is under the main slide-out, and thus awkward to access, to the front bathroom black/gray tank drain. The 8281WS has 3 drain connectors (4 tanks/4 valves) as standard, and the middle one is particular awkwardly placed, so I...

I bought a used drw f350 with rails mounted in the bed. When we upgraded from bumper pull to 5th wheel, the seller gave us the reese 20k slider hitch. Have a lot of bouncing so installed air bags. When I was installing the bags and shocks, I noticed the front rail is inline with the rear...

I lowered the landing gear this morning to get the water to run off of the top of the slideouts. When I went to raise the front up to get hooked up to the truck it ran slow and eventually stopped. The motor and gear box seemed to jump around. I thought maybe the battery was dead. I ended up...

Picked up my Sabre 330 Monday, looking forward to a summer of camping. Hello to all.

What do you use for lubricant? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The Reese 5th Airborne premium fifth-wheel air-ride coupler acts as a buffer between the tow vehicle and the trailer, minimizing the challenges in the road. This significantly reduces the negative impact of vertical shock and longitudinal chucking. The 5th Airborne does more than improve your...

Looking to trade in our 290 Crusader for a Redwood Cypress 36crl any thoughts or opinions. Having a hard time making the final decision

Just curioius,, Why are fifth wheels more expensive that TT's. I see a 35 foot TT is like 15,000 less expensive than a comparable 35 ft. fifth wheel. Was just wondering why? Are they better made?

We are currently full timing in a 32 ft Crusader. We are looking to upgrade to a 36 ft fifth wheel. I am concerned of towing the extra weight and getting into different campgrounds as we are touring the country. Any feedback would be helpful

I have a 2500 with 5.7l hemi. Was window shopping at the RV show yesterday and found a 5er that DW and I both loved. Weight was 10k, my truck is rated up to 11500 if I change rear axle gear from 3.73 to 4.10 so I think that part would be ok. Two concerns, one is the website says tongue weight...
