Thank you for the replies.  That makes sense.  Should we just cut it off for the time being instead of removing the roller?

We will be taking our 5th Wheel soon for a road trip 6 hour drive.  We won't be able to replace the awning before this trip.  The hardware is in good shape, just the canvas itself is deteriorating.  Do you think it will be safe to travel as it is or should I try wrapping it with something to...

Thank you all for your suggestions.  I will share your words of wisdom with my husband. 

We are getting closer to getting to traveling with our used 5th wheel.  We have ordered new tires that should be here next week.  My husband didn't want to haul the trailer into the city to have them put on there.  Any suggestions about method of removing the old and transporting them to the...

We just got ours and have it parked in our pasture as we work on it in preparation for workamping in a couple of years.  Because we have extras currently living with us, I go out to it as often as I can.  My nickname for it has been The Oasis.  And for me, even without traveling yet, it is my...

Guess I got in a hurry asking my question.  I entered mothball and moth ball in the search feature and there is a ton of discussions which I will check into. 

We just purchased a 5th wheel (Montana) a neighbor used at job sites.  It has set for the last few years at his home before selling it to us.  He said he had problems with mice in the past and started putting moth balls throughout the camper because it was suppose to deter them.  Now that we...

Good way to sum it all up!  I totally loved the comments from everyone.  BTW, my husband bought the truck.  It's a Dodge Ram 2005 Cummins Diesel 3500 truck (I was mistaken on the year when I first asked my question).  He is getting more excited in planning our future retirement and dreams of...

I appreciate everyone's opinions.  Thank you all!

We are newbies and will most likely get a 5th wheel in the next year or two.  My husband has found a duel wheel 1 ton (I think) pickup with a gooseneck hitch currently in it.  I know tire replacement will be more costly.  Have any of you pulled with this type of truck and do you think it is good...

SargeW, that's makes sense what you and Gary have said.  The owner was saying it was 37 feet and when I looked up the specs, it was listed as 35'.

Opinion please:  We have found this 5th Wheel, 2014 Denali, model # 319 RLS that appears to fit our "want" for workamping in the near future.  Do any of you have yeas or nays about this brand?  We haven't physically seen it, only pictures.  Love the floor plan!  Practically new.  I also have a...

Thank you for your response and advice!  There is so much to learn!

Studying our choices for 5th wheels.....but I wonder about used ones that have been set up and lived in for a long period of time in one spot.  I understand the tires would most likely need replaced.  Do you predict more problems than the ones used off and on?  I wonder if the slides would be...

Great advice!
