Donn, thanks for the tips I remember the yellow tag on my 5th wheel states loaded RV gross combined is 12,950 after it's loaded. I believe there was warning on the sticker that 12,950 does not include weight of full tanks. I'll look into driving to one of the scales think there's one close on...

Bethlin, my story similar to yours im a bit older, recently single had been contributing $1,500 covering ex's mortgage, bills who I moved in with after my surgery and during recovery. The housing costs here in Western WA State are absolutely ridiculous especially when you don't own real estate...

Well I have the truck love driving her traded in my sedan that I had. I will look again at the Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity Label, Federal Certification Label and Tire and Loading Label. I still would like to take classes about handling, driving a 5th wheel can't hurt to increase my...

Like Seilerbird I am having a RV hauler move it to the RV park I'm staying at indefinitely. Only about 20- 30 miles yes the cost is about $250 for me too. It's times like this I miss my grandfather's and father who were all ASE master mechanics who I learned from,  watching them in the family's...

I'm confused and a bit disappointed in myself since I purchased my Ram 2500 Cummings Diesel V8 ( might be a I6 not V8) 6.8L with the thinking that the maximum towing capacity is 18,000 pounds.

Thanks all yes I did listen to the personnel at the dealership, provided the weight specs. My understanding is it is a 'ultralite' (not sure that's right word) but I will be looking into this further.

ArdraF,  Bless you for your response and a quick one at that. I'll be clicking that link right after my thank you response (this post).  I'm a bit nervous given this is my 1st RV, 1st vehicle other than a car (have driven trucks from time to time) and will be living in the 5th wheel full time...

Hello all I just purchased a 37 foot 5th wheel which I plan on towing with my 2500 Ram Diesel I purchased day after the 5th wheel.  Can you all point me to resources, guidance on driving classes. I will be using a RV hauler to move my RV to the RV resort I'll be staying at the next few months...

Thank you for this post. I am about to move into my 2016 5th wheel that is wired for solar.  A bit down the road I plan on getting solar installed once life settles down a bit, get 5th wheel hitch installed in bed of pick up, get 5th wheel parked end of this month at RV resort I just put deposit...

Sandy, Howdy I'm a Single female too (unfortunately don't see retirement in the cards for me) ...  jumped in both feet to RV living by purchasing my 2016 Jayco Eagle 323 LKTS  5th wheel this past Thursday and my 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 ST Diesel truck on Friday.    I am very new to RV's so technical...

Hello J here I just purchased a 5th wheel and will be calling it home while residing here in WA State. Been reading up on the WA DMV 180 days rule.  I don't believe I will have issues with residency: 1.) I've held a WA professional license since 2002 &  2.) just renewed my Drivers License for...
