    5th Wheel Height

    How accurate are the height measurements that manufacturers put on their specs? We are looking at getting a new 5th Wheel, a Front Living one and most of them are 13" 6". I have a pole barn that has 13" 4" of clearance. Just wondering if that number they use is a safety factor or what.

    I purchased a 2005 Ram 1500 Hemi pickup ( not why I am hemiallen, lol), and used it for a travel trailer for a few years. We were enlightened that Rockwood made a 5th wheel we could tow with our hemi truck, so we upgraded and enjoyed the setup until the transmission / engine on the gasser...

    TT to 5th wheel

    We are seriously thinking of trading in our TT and getting a 5th wheel. I hear that hooking up a 5th wheel and driving is much easier than a TT. Our tow vehicle is a 2015 F350 4X4 6.2 gasser. I believe we could tow a 5th @ 10,000 lbs. I do not know how to determine what our hitch/payload...

    Trailer vs 5th Wheel Load

    I probably over think things but is the Weight on the Hitch of a Travel Trailer and the Weight on the Pin of a 5th Wheel both the same when applied to the Vehicle’s Capacity. By that I mean the Weight on the Pin of a 5th Wheel is “Directly” (or damn close to) centered on the Rear Axle WHILE the...

    2012 Cedar Creek 5th wheel

    I have a switch located in the water equipment compartment. No clue what it does. Somebody told me it could be the hitch lights but they do not come on. Can't seem to figure out where else or what would have to be on to get them to work.
