Beware of the green balls. I had 3 blow out within a year of weekend towing.  One blew out sitting on the trailer with no weight on them (trailer in jack stands). I got the hazard warranty Fromm Discount Tire and they don't sell them any more so they replaced with Carlisle.

My used fifth wheel came with a 5 gallon bucket. Hose coiled nicely into the bucket and any liquid in it air dries or drains into bucket.

This is why I avoid the local Camping World. You can't walk around and look. You have to be escourted. A smaller, local lot lets you walk around. Sometimes you don't know what you want until you see it.

Here it is from the buyer point of view. Lots of opinions that differ from here. http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php/topic,99689.0/topicseen.html

When you buy anything, used, from a dealer or individual then it's on you. Always walk into the deal thinking they are lying and you do your own due diligence. I don't think they owe you anything and I would hate for people to come back after the sale.  They may or may not have remembered a...

That's about right. Each of my block weighs in at about 8.4 pounds and I have 12.  You don't have to use as big a block as I did. The 12" wide is way wider than I need and you could go down to 8"x12" and cut the pounds to probably 5-6.  I put stacks of 6 in my tongue storage boxes on either...

Thanks. The lap is still sticky and pliable. It would take days to pull it up. I think I'm going to switch gears a little and instead of recoat just replace the EPDM roof. The cost seems pretty much the same anyway.

I'm going to tackle resealing/coating my EPDM roof. I bought 4" Eternabond tape, lap sealant and I'm waiting on Liquid Roof. I've already scraped off all the silicon they used to "repair" holes in the EPDM. The current lap sealant is cracked but I haven't removed it. I need to wash/scrub it as...

I went to Tractor Supply and bought a 4' x 6' x 3/4" horse stall mat for $35.  I cut it up have something like 16 blocks out of it.  I think I did 12x18" blocks.  If you have a heated knife that would work great to cut it up as it's a bear.  They work pretty well so far and 2 blocks take about...

Tarp it and wait for rain to pass.  Angle the nose up so rain runs off back.

I really like my B&W Companion. I can gently back up and not "slam" the hitch to shut it.  My only complainant is having to tighten the bolt down on the underbed pin that locks it down into bed. I'm sure it's safety so it doesn't unlatch while riding and pull the 5th out. Also the hitch is...

For our first trip I went 80 in all but that one, put 75 in it.  I'll probably pull it off and make it the spare so they are all the same. I would like to swap to LT tires later.

I have one rim that has a max PSI of 75 stamped into the wheel near the valve stem.  The others do not have anything (including the spare).  All tires are matching off-brands with 80 PSI max stamped on the sidewall.  Was this the spare possibly at one time or was the wheel replaced?  What would...

I had planned to rescale on the way out but we were running behind on time so I'll get it next time.  I have updated my chart thing since posting also I believe.

If you put another LED bulb in and it worked, replace the LEDs or swap them with those that always work. Sometimes the LEDs will have issues where they won't turn on or flicker terribly.  Obviously there is no filament to burn out like regular bulbs to symptoms can be baffling.  Either way it's...
