    Question for Ram 2500 owners with fifth wheels

    I installed a level kit on the front of my 2018 2500 Cummins. The rear was lower due to the fact that I have factory airbags. So I purchased slightly longer suspension links to add an inch to the rear. Truck is level. Now looking at the wheel well space, I would like to add 35" tires to...

    Fifth wheel large slide.

    I have a 2019 Forest River Cherokee Artic Wolf fifth wheel RV that I purchased on Nov. 1, 2019.

    Fifth wheel hit water

    We just purchased a 2020 Sierra 379FLKO. We hooked the camper up to our truck for the first time to make sure we knew how to do it before we went camping this weekend. After we unattached the camper to the truck I pushed the auto level. When the camper’s nose bent down I saw water come...

    Windshields in travel trailers/fifth wheels, worth it?

    I notice windshields are becoming more and more common. My question is; Those of you with windshields, are you glad your unit has one? Do they leak? Are bugs a problem? Personally I think they look pretty cool but the above possibilities concern me.

    I initially was looking at rear bunks and then started to change my mind as I went and looked at a mid bunk. My thoughts are the rear bunk takes up more space but gives more room to the occupant. However it eats up lots of common space. I especially like the loft above the mid bunk if one is...
