Just pulled the trigger on a 2022 Rockwood Ultra Lite 2883WS Fifth Wheel. This is our first fifth wheel, but our third Rockwood. Interested to know other's experiences with this model. Likes and dislikes? It has the residential fridge, which should work for us since we always camp with shore...
Anyone tow a fifth wheel with a toolbox mounted in the bed? I’m sure that the 4” high boxes would be a problem but what about the low profile ones? Might upgrade to a 5er later and didn’t want to have to remove the toolbox later.
Thanks in advance
Hello all,
I was wondering what some opinions were regarding the following topic. I'm getting ready to purchase a new fifth wheel (Impression 315MB) this week. My tow vehicle is a 2500 Ram short bed and I'll be using the Anderson hitch. I have concerns regarding the grade of our driveway and...
If I had to have my 32ft fifth wheel shipped from Ottawa Ontario Canada to Alberta Canada, how would I do this? The distance would be about 3400kms (2100 Miles). Are there companies that specialize in moving fifth wheels? Are they towed behind a truck or loaded on a flat bed trailer and towed...
I took my first trip out in our new artic wolf 287bh and I noticed it was sitting high at the pin (truck Bed). I had room to spare on the pin box so I raised the pin box to its highest setting. Even after I raised the pin box it is still siting high in the front. Probably off level about 3/4...
I bought a 2021 Flagstaff fifth wheel and after bringing it home and going through the systems everything worked fine except that I could not get the heater to work. The heater itself is difficult to access but I found and on/off switch that I changed position and it still wouldn't fire up...

$57k and in Anniston, AL - My wife and I purchased our dream fifth wheel in July 2021, but have decided on a major life change. That puts our 31MB up for sale. It's only been camped in twice and has at least seven...
I recently purchased a 2022 Ram 3500. When I checked to see if the frame was prepped for the rail mounts, I noticed the threaded holes were not on the frame to mount the brackets. I contacted etrailer and was sent a universal kit for a RAM (C16420) which did not fit. When I called them back and...
A little help needed! I have a 42 ft fifth wheel and just moved to a new rv park. I will be here for at least the next 3 months. There is no other site available now. I am parked on a very steep incline and my front jacks are fully extended. I am level but the front end is wobbly and I don't...
Anyone have advice on pulling our new 5th wheel? We have a FW2899 KS and tow it with a Ford F-250 diesel with turbo charge. It seems to bounce quite a bit and wonder if this is normal. Any suggestions to have a smoother ride? My husband added air bags. The first time with them he inflated them...
Hello, and thanks for the add!
We are not new to camping but have always had a bumper pull trailer- A 2004 Nash 26Z for the last 10-15 years. We are looking to get a fifth wheel since the kids are all getting growed and ready to leave the nest.
Which forum should I post on to get some reviews...
We are looking to switch out our Curt 16K standard fifth wheel hitch for either a Demco Recon or a Pullrite 2400 Superlite. Has anyone used either of these hitches? I’m looking for any reviews positive or negative.
Thanks
We own a 2016 Forest River Cardinal 3825fl. It has a covered under belly and an end cap with no rear bumper. There is an indentation made in the end cap where you mount your license plate.
We need a 2" receiver to mount a bike rack on. We think it will require cutting into the end cap and...
Has anyone ever just stayed hooked up to their fifth wheel and was able to get level enough to open their slides? We have a very high new 4WD and wondering if since it’s so high, maybe on a level spot I can get it level enough to open the slides. Please advise if you can.
I bought a 2004 Forest River Cardinal 32ft fifth wheel last year. I have not had a need for hot water till now. I found the on/off switch, which is off. For the life of me I can't find the water heater! I went all round inside and out and nothing resembling a water heater. I feel just a little...
I have a fifth wheel, I'm going to add a hitch receiver to the bumper so I can bring our bikes- I'd prefer the hitch style so when we get where we're going I can use it on my truck as well. Problem is all the hitch style bike holders say not rated for campers. Has anyone used these on a camper...
Would like your thoughts and experience regarding unhitching and re-hitching when the tow truck is angled down from the fifth wheel. My hitch is a Reese Elite and the skid plate does pivot front to back a few inches. My driveway slopes down to the sidewalk, the sidewalk is level, and then the...
Hi Folks, recently retired and planning first trip to multiple places over Jan - May next year. I currently have a 42' fifth wheel at a seasonal campground.
I am considering buying a shorter fifth wheel around 35' for my travels over the coming years because I think it would be a lot easier to...
I’m in the process of special ordering an F-250 Super Duty 4x4 (7.3L, 4.30 :1) for towing a fifth wheel as the title says. Adding a PTO is an option and I am wondering if anyone has one and if so what do you use it for?
Thanks,
Bob
I like my Coachmen Freedom Express TT but I am looking now at fifth wheel RVs. It would be nice if Brookstone or Chapparel had more options under 40' like GrandDesign offers in their Reflection and Solitude models. They offer many in the 35-38' range. State parks have less options for bigger...
Just used sofa bed last night in our new Rockwood signature. It is in back of unit. I think I am using it correctly. It is very uncomfortable, cushions on front part higher than the rear plus the cracks between cushions. Just checking if this is common happening. This is fifth wheel 8288sb...
We bought our new fifth wheel 1 week ago and have had more problems with it than both of our previous rvs put together. We had a major leak behind the panel were the city water hookup is. Our dealership did get it in the next day and found several loose connections which they fixed. We took off...
