    I finally got the 2x200W Rich solar panels installed on strut channel. All hooked up and working. I have another 2x200W Rich solar panels with 40A MPPT on the way. That will give me 800W and 2xMPPTx100V/40A. I decided to run 2 sets of 10ga wire from the roof, so each SCC will have its own wires...

    Keeping fifth wheel attached for a night.

    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.

    Sorry if this is listed elsewhere.. What is the width of the 180 not including the wheels/fenders that stick out? Forest River lists the 180 as 8' (96") wide, but I am assuming that includes the wheels. The 180 is at the top of our shopping list, but we want a TT that is 7' wide due to...
