5th wheel

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...

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...

We are looking at the Artic Wolf 3810 suite and Sabre 38DBL. Is there any real quality difference between the Artic Wolf and Sabre lines? Direct comparisons would be great but pluses and minus for either one would be very helpful too. There are things we like better on each, mainly from online...

We are looking for something like the Artic wolf 3810, so about 38'-45' long and 14K-16K GVWR We are looking at an F350, I was hoping SRW but from advise of a friend and some threads here, I am almost sure it will be a DRW. I would appreciate thoughts on this. Any issue with the Ford factory...

My husband and I currently have a 2021 Keystone Cougar Half Tom 32BHS and we are looking to upgrade. We are pulling the Cougar with a GMC 2500 gasser and have a 2024 GMC 2500 Duramax diesel with the max trailering package on order. We got notification from GM that it has been produced and just...

I currently have a Curt Q20 (20,000#) in my truck and I find it to be very heavy and overkill for my 14,000# trailer. So I have been looking for a lighter replacement and found a brand new in the box A16 (16,000#) off Facebook for 320 bucks. One of those could not pass up the deal things. I...

My wife and I were going to get a tt but have decided to buy another 5th wheel. We are looking at a slightly used Flagstaff 528RKS or a new 526RK. We are retired and older and I don't want to buy a problem. I would like to know how well they tow. Will pull with 2014 Chev 2500 6.0 gas with 3,110...

Anyone have info on material type and thickness of the bedroom TV backer plate in the 2023 Rockwood Signature Ultralight fifth wheel models. Mine is a 2898BS and the bedroom TV backer is on an exterior wall. I think it’s supposed to be stainless steel, can’t confirm, but have no clue what gauge...

Anyone using the Curt crosswing hitch for fifth wheel?

I'm not sure of all details yet, but my parent's camper was lost in a fire (along with the beloved family dog) today. :crying: 99% sure it was due to an electrical problem, but the investigation is still ongoing. I'm hoping to get some direction here, bc they :mad: DID NOT have insurance yet on...

I have a 2020 Heritage Glen 338BAR and my bedroom is on the upper level with the clothes closet in the front of the RV. (hopefully pictures attached ok) When I measure the distance inside versus outside, it looks like ai have approximately 30 more inches of potential storage if I were to open...

Hello all. I have a new to me 2015 Silverback 29RE that I just purchased and I need some advice on getting some things for it. These came wired for a rearview camera system but I wanted to check on if there were any better alternatives than what came with these things. The previous owners...

2021 Cedar Creek 388RK. I can't seem to get the spare tire to stay up. Every so often, I'll have to take the tire wrench and tighten it up as it starts to sag, and would eventually touch ground if left long enough. Had another guy mention to me he had a Cedar Creek that had the same issue...

I want to grease the wheeling bearings on my unit. I removed the middle circle from the hub and behind it appears to be a rubber insert. Is it possible my unit doesn’t have the grease fittings, or are they behind the rubber insert I am seeing. I don’t want to remove the insert without asking the...

I have a 2019 Phoenix Shasta 29 RLS. The hitch that came with the RV is too light/weak. I want to mount a tray that will carry my generator & fuel (100 lbs). Mine is rated at 150 lbs. I want 300 lbs so I’m not stressing anything. The mounts are already welded to the frame. etrailer has a...

I just purchased this camper. I did not get the owners manuals. I have a couple questions.....The fresh water fill is the type where you attach a garden hose. I don't see a vent, How do I know when its full. I don't see a drain to drain the tank either. Then there is a blue line with a shut off...

We are buying a 2013 Sandpiper 356rl and I am installing a 5th wheel hitch in my 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with a 6.5 ft bed. My question is whether I need a sliding hitch or not. If I had the distance from the king pin to the nose of the camper I found a calculation to determine if you need a...

This drives me nuts and not sure if its the 5th wheel or the Sidewinder. My previous truck I used the sidewinder locked to the A20. The wedge for it did not fully fit, ran out of thread before it could fully lock in, so it would move left and right at random and make towing a not so...

For 10 years we towed our RV with a 2013 F150 4x4 with a 5.0L. It was perfect level. We purchased a new 2022 F350 King Ranch 4x4 with 7.3L. This TV is taller, therefore, the front of the RV is now riding high. We have Dexter Torsion Axles that cannot be adjusted and Dexter technical support...

With my hitch set at lowest setting my departure angle is still terrible. I have come very close to tearing off rear lift jacks. I am thinking of adding 2" spacers to help with angle. The rear jacks can not be raised so this is my only option I can think of. Trying to find correct spacers is...

I have an A20 with new puck legs for the Ford system. When I first attached it, they were snug, with no play in them, but after our first trip which we are halfway through, they are all loose and very easy to turn, which also leads to scrunk noises and play when stopping and starting. I...
