    First fifth wheel tow

    Brought our new RV home Saturday. This weights 11,575 dry so I'm rough guessing about 11,800 or so +/- with full propane tanks and batteries. I noticed what many had said, very stable, no sway even with a little wind. I did notice slight chucking which I suppose is expected. I purchased a B&W...

    fifth wheel hitch question

    I'm in the process of purchasing a 2020 Rockwood ultra lite 2650ws fifth wheel, to be pulled by my f-350 6.7.

    8288bs fifth wheel

    Thinking about upgrading from our 2906WS TT to the 8288BS Fifth Wheel. Just looking for any feedback on the 8288BS. It seems like a nice upgrade from our current Rockwood with everything we want and nothing we don't. Unfortunately closest one seems to be about 5 hours away.

    Fifth wheel hitch question

    I have a companion slider and it weighs at least 250#. I was wondering if it would be OK to leave it hanging from the pin of the trailer when not in use. It would be easier to just use the jacks to pick it up out of the truck and leave it hanging there until I need to tow it again. I don't use...
