So a few years back, down a bike week in Daytona, I would see a coach there every year, a Super C, that had a 5th wheel mounted on the rear. The guys trailer was like a bumper pull but had the kingpin on it to connect to the 5th wheel.
Besides the obvious advantages of a 5th wheel I always...
I have 8k Dexter axles with disc brakes and need to do the annual wheel bearing repack. Does anyone have the maintenance procedures for removing the disc brakes for repacking the wheel bearings? I have repacked them with drum brakes but not disc brakes.
I lost the front panels of my 5th wheel Forest River model 36CKT. Which when we stopped for gas I found they were missing? Also most of the insulation was gone and the wires were hanging down. I did cable tie the cables up so they would not get damaged. Now trying to find new panels to put...
I'm shopping for a new TV. Likely a 3/4 ton. Chevy's "Custom" trim comes equipped with 20" wheels only.
Are 20" wheels okay for towing mid-size travel trailers? Does the tire size make a difference? ... would appreciate your thoughts and comments. I'm not concerned about MPG, and there...
I’m getting to know my new 2024 Isata 5 30FW, and noticed the rear wheels DO NOT have any air valve extensions for the inside tires thru to the outside tires. In other words, to check tire pressure on inside real tires, you would somehow have to crawl under the RV to check the inside tire...
Has anybody seen one of these in person or seen pictures/videos/info.
2024 363B XLR BOOST FIFTH WHEEL
https://www.forestriverinc.com/rvs/xlr-boost/363B/9302
Has anyone upgraded from the 205/75R15 tires that come on this and likely many other Surveyors, or perhaps stepped up to a 16" wheel (if that unlocked a wider selection?)
I know there's some excitement about the Goodyear Endurance tires coming standard on these trailers now but I'd like to...
Thanks for adding me to the forum. Getting to know my “new to me” 2016 Sabre 335TB. Already facing plumbing leaks, slide alignment issues and some water damage inside, but all in all happy with the layout and quality of the rig. I look forward to learning a lot from the forum and sharing my...
Good Evening,
The wife and I just bought our first Fifthwheel a 2023 Sanibel 3802FLWB. Picked up last Saturday March 23rd after the trailer needed to be brought up from Florida due to the original rig in PA had some issues with it. We'll let's just say it's been a roller coaster. The wife and I...
I got new seals a while back and as much as I hate doing it, it's not going to get done by its self. I could be more motivated if it was sunny but it doesn't look promising for the next week or so and we're taking a road trip the end of April to South Dakota to meet up with a rally put on by...
I'm considering purchasing a set of Camco wheel stops for our new Flagstaff 25FBLS. I haven't taken delivery of the rig yet and I need to know the distance between the tires. These blocks come in two sizes, the largest being for a 3 1/2" - 5 1/2" gap. The pics of the trailer I have show it could...
Hello,
My husband and I and two goldens just purchased a 2020 sandpiper 38fkok. We both have had TT before and very furmiliar with towing a TT. We will gladly
Welcome tips/tricks for towing/backing in a fifth wheel. If you own a sandpiper can you tell me any specific problems you may have had?
I am getting ready to hit the road with my new 26BH. Where is the wheel torque specification located so I can check the torque before I leave? Or, what is the normal specification?
Hi everyone! We own a 2023 Salem 42 DL which we keep on a fixed site in Ohio. We’re considering a 5th wheel to use for traveling. Trying to stay under 10,000 lbs, under 36 ft. Just my wife and I. Wants are, king bed, outdoor kitchen and tv, pull out couch (forthe grands)Any suggestions? Looking...
Hi. I'm looking for feedback on the drivability and overall experience of an Isata 5 with the super single conversion and Liquid Spring Suspension. My wife and I are interested in a 28SS and converting it over. The 28SS was an RV we looked at prior to our current one but I didn't think you could...
We’re looking to upgrade to a 5th wheel from a 30’ travel trailer. Since I’ve never pulled or owned a 5th wheel, we want to know what’s the difference between the two (towing wise). What necessary equipment is needed, how is it to back up and park, what are must have features like auto...
We are headed to the Rockies and wanted scissor chocks. The ones we ordered wouldn’t fit between the tires because there is not enough room to open them. Does anyone have a suggestion since we might be on unlevel sites?
Also, we have bubbles in our roof, but no leaks. What to do?
2019...
Ok, I'll start by saying I've sifted through the forums looking for an answer so I could avoid having to post. Especially since I'm sure the question has been asked before. Since I couldn't find what I was looking for, I'll just ask the question.
I have a 2022 Ram 2500, 6'4'' bed, I just bought...
Hello , I’ve just acquired a 2019 forest river xlr boost 20cb a was going to buy a spare tire for it before I go pick it up. I was wondering what the wheel bolt pattern was ?
We are looking at a new trailer and the one we like is a toyhauler 5-er.
The truck has a factory puck system with goose ball.
I like simple and this hitch checks a lot of boxes, but I don't have much 5-er experience.
Anybody who has one and is willing to share their experiences I would...
Thanks to everyone who posted remarks on my previous tire posting. That was a great example of what this forum is about.
Now it’s time to discuss wheels. Our Berkshire XL 40E came with aluminum wheels Al around. Truthfully, I haven’t done much but wash them. I’d like to shine them to their...
We were headed south to Texas last week. Went through Oklahoma City and man 44 was rough, it hammered the helms out of the camper. Stopped for a break on the south side of town. Filling up with gas I noticed the hitch indicator showed red -unlatched!
I carefully drove to the truck side of the...
I just bought a new (New to me) 2003 Rockwell Premier 2307. I thought it would be smart to replace the wheel bearings, since I don't know the usage on the ones that came with it. How can I determine the correct size bearings? A search for "wheel bearings. Model and year" brings up a lot of...
