They must have REALLY gone downhill since your visit !!! Words cannot express how bad an experience we had at this park !! We had stayed at the Park in Robert, La multiple times with our kids and hoped this would be equal or better for our grandkids. I will not use the language necessary to...

Something I'm just learning and some info you may want to know: Interesting information about ST tires in my attachment.... note the speed rating - not that you should ever go faster than that with an rv, but margin of safety considerations should slow you done especially in the summer heat...

Old thread, but good one ! I too was worried about how to stop our large 5th wheel until I found an empty road, turned the gain on the 250's built-in brake controller to 6... and tromped on the brakes.... the 5th wheel will stop my truck !  lot's of wear and tear on the rv tires, but too much...

googling that gave me a lot of hits... might try them to see if they have what you need: https://www.google.com/search?q=2008+North+American+Glacier+Bay+Fifth+Wheel&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a many mfg's have websites with soft copies of the manuals...

And as noted, watch for wasps, dirt daubers, etc.. as they LIKE those places.... why the rv vent screen business is so lucrative :)

It's not only misunderstood by people who DON'T have them - also by those that do (until they get used to thinking backwards :) ) The turn the hot water UP to cool it down and turn it down to heat it up is a tough concept when the water hitting certain areas is too cold or too hot :) :) and...

HMMM.... 5 gallon can of diesel ?!? Guess you would store it tied down in the bed ? Would be heavy to get out & How do you stop the rattling :) (guess if you are running out of fuel - it won't seem too heavy !!!!

What to get all depends on your needs ! :) I got this one for $243 delivered :  http://www.autoanything.com/tonneau-covers/60A4819A0A0.aspx...

Although we usually don't tie ours down, found bendable 'sticks' that are like these: http://www.opticsplanet.net/nite-ize-6-gear-tie.html that I fold around to hold in place.... works well as I usually try NOT to jump too many railroad tracks :)

our new MVP destiny has the mor-ryde and between it and the trail-air 5th wheel hitch with shock absorber and two air bags, I barely feel the road shock thru the 5th wheel... buddy just bought a Raven 5er and after seeing mine insisted on the cushioned hitch pin...

Since I have the 26 gal tank on my 250 I am researching that too... but a point to consider is will that extra 200 or so lbs put you over your axle weight rating ?!? typically the 3/4 ton trucks are at their gawr with just the pin wgt... so consider it carefully... (besides, the 26 gallons go...

Hard to envision... but a couple things  come to mind... Check the manual/instructions as we have the air bed in our 5er and it's actually very comfortable ! get on the mfg's website to see what they say (either the bed mfg or the coach mfg might help) good luck !

DFW area most of the time.... Lot's to do and work and family is here, so this is home, but not the most picturesque part of our country, so now you know why we want to rv and see some other parts :) Hope to glean a lot of info about sites and add some to the discussion as time goes by !

Feel free to contact us if you come thru the Dallas Fort Worth area... glad to help in any way - even with a regular size shower in our home if need be :) FYI, set up a blog and keep us updated of your travels !
