    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...

    5th wheel hitch

    Okay got the hitch in the new truck. But now with the tail gate open it is only a 1inch or so from the camper. I’m thinking of moving the hitch one hole back. What you guys think? The pic is where it is now.

    Slider on 2017 Keystone Sprinter 5th wheel

    Although slider tends to creak when opening, main concern is the lip on floor inside. Namely, one end (end where fridge is) is nearly touching the floor, while the other end near propane stove is 1" off ground. Should this be the case ??
