Hello All, Looking for input on the Heartland Elkridge models of 5th wheels, I have found a 2013 front living room for sale, anyone have experience with these?

Jedidiah Smith State Park was one of our favorites when we lived in Cali, we has a 23' Mallard TT in those days, lots of fun!!!

Hi Marty, The ones we are looking at are all around 40 ft.

Thanks Marty, with so may folks having so many different RV types, I need to remember to be specific lol Good info and I truly appreciate all who take the time to reply. We are getting closer, I pick up my Ram 5500 this week, I'll have a CM bed put on next week, then we an get serious about the...

I am afraid I left out a key bit of info, since I was in the TT 5th wheel section, I thought I did not need to mention it. We will be purchasing a 5th wheel, not a MH. So what I should have said was with a 5th wheel do you need leveling blocks under tires when using an auto level system. I am...

I posed this very question to my local Jayco dealer, he said adapters will void the Jayco Warranty, however, there is a solution according to them. Replace the factory pin box with a Reese 94622 2-5/16 gooseneck RV coupler box. This way, per the Jayco dealer, you will not void your warranty.

As always, this forum and its members are very helpful!!! I am looking at trucks today, as the truck I have can't pull the 5ver's we are looking at. Have a great weekend all!

Thanks Tom, Given the expense of these units I was concerned, leveling blocks under the feet make perfect sence.

Hello All, We have never had a RV with an Auto level system, so here's my question. Is it best to use leveling blocks under the tires? The reason I ask is a concern of putting too much stain on the leveling system . I have read that wheel chocks are usually used, but can't find anything about...

Great responses!! This is very helpful. Martin 2340-We have looked at MH, the only ones that fit (floor Plan) were well out of our price range, sadly enough I have a perfect toad, 1999 Jeep Box Cherokee 4X4. Gary-Yep I know, overkill and you are correct, but I sold Ram trucks and Sprinter vans...

Good point Gary, yes a used front living seems to be hard to find, perhaps I will go that route when we are ready, still open to ideas. Here are the "must Haves" Front Living 5th wheel, so far we really like the Jayco Pinnacle, the Front Living room gives us the best option for our intended...

Thanks Gary, with our Budget we cant go higher ($$$) than the Jayco Pinnacle. We are looking for quality in the 60K to 80K range. Thanks Kim, here is additional info, 2 adults, 1 small dog, tow vehicle will be either a Dodge 4500 or 5500 crew cab with a hauler bed. The front living room is our...

Hello All, We are considering the Jayco Pinnacle for full timing, I would like to get some input, good choice? bad choice? pros and cons? We have had two slide in campers and two TT's, this will be our first 5th wheel. Thank you

Thank you for your input, we have not looked at the Highland Ridge/Open Range, nice layout, we like the idea of the second couch in the Jayco, and Grand Design for guests. The Grand Design has a MSRP of 10K more than the Jayco, I am having trouble justifying that one. So far I hear good about...

Hi Gordon, I know how you feel about tire kicking, we too are in the market (soon) and will get a fifth wheel, we have had 2 TT's and 2 slide in campers. our only "full timing" was between duty stations while on active duty. This forum has many useful tips, enjoy the research, it will pay off...
