    Fifth wheel nose sealing issue

    I'm trying to figure this one out. I'm hoping the pictures I post help. My front nose "moves" about a 1/4" when I connect to my truck vs when I'm not connected. This creates a sealing issue that I hope you can see in the pictures. How do I solve this problem?

    Wheel Bearing Re-pack question. And extra parts problem.

    I have a one-year-old Wildwood trailer with a Lippert axle. I never did this job before, so I watched several YouTube videos until it all made sense. Before I started, I purchased 4 axle bearing kits from the Lippert website just in case I needed parts along the way. The bearings and everything...

    5th Wheel Furniture Replacement

    Hi, Well we have come to the point that our 2014 Wildcat 312BHX no longer suits our needs. Both kids will be in college this fall and well, honestly they have not fit into the bunks in a couple of years. Next up will most likely be a travel trailer for us, I am not a big fan of putting the...

    Just took delivery of a F250 short bed with the puck system. Still have the 26DBH, but hope to upgrade to 5er soon. In the last 2 years, I have likely seen a similar post many times, but now it is me. Especially after seeing the slider oops in the post below, I am thinking a slider might be...

    Maybe sharing My Big 5th Wheel Tow Mistake Will help you

    I've read all the good advice on this FR Forum. I purchased a Slider Hitch. I knew to be careful when backing up and turning sharply.... BUT, 1. I did not slide the hitch back. 2. I was complacent and forgot to watch my angle as the corner of the RV was approaching my rear window. Posting...

    Fifth wheel slides back when unhitching

    Proud owner of a 2022 2883ws, I have an issue with trailer slipping back sometimes when unhitching. I use the yellow stand blocks, chock the rear wheels but it seems like most of the times the trailer will slide back as I pull truck forward. Mostly a slight amount but other times an inch or so...

    5th Wheel Hitch Visibility Solution

    I have a 4 door crew cab GMC 3500 with a standard bed and a hard trifold tonneau cover. When I hook up, I cannot see my hitch from the drivers seat as it sits below the folded back tonneau cover. This has made hitching up a multiple trip out of the cab exercise to get lined up properly. I...

    Hello all! I have a 2021 Forest River WolfPack 355PACK14. My landing gear is starting to fail. It struggles to lift the trailer off the ball of the truck (I have a GenY gooseneck adapter). There is a clicking sound like maybe some gears are "stripped" and then it just completely stops and...

    crooked steering wheel

    Picked up a new 45A and was driving it home from the dealership and noticed the steering wheel is not straight when driving down the road (no wind). Kind of disappointing on a new coach to find this out once you sign the dotted line. I guess I should have test drove it 1st lol.
