Didn't realize there were places you could check prices for units that have sold.  Is this something you can find on RV Trader / RVT or similar sites?  I've looked on those sites to buy but not to see actual sold prices. I looked on NADA a couple of months ago to get an idea for a price when we...

Has anyone tried to sell lately or has heard how well the used 5th wheel market is doing since the coronavirus outbreak?  Due to the health of older family members we are looking at selling our 5th wheel since we don't have a practical place to keep it and don't know how long we'll have to...

Thanks for the replies. It is sort of a time constrained trip. We've only got two weeks to spend there before we have to be back.  We're going back to MO to visit our mothers.  We're planning on overnighting at the Good Sam  campground at Caruthersville MO.  About the longest I've pulled...

Wasn't sure which board to put this on. This is going to be the first long trip with our 5th wheel.  Our destination is about 1000 miles and we'd like to try to do it in two days if practical.  Google maps shows the first planned night stop  at  497 miles and 8 hrs.  We've driven the route in...

Thanks for the help.  We're leaving tomorrow for two weeks and not taking the 5W this trip. We are, of course, going to turn off the water and turn off and drain the water heater while gone. Guess I'll have something to look forward to when we get back.  :)

The water heater has started dripping slightly out of the P & T valve. Suburban recommends  establishing the air pocket at the top of the tank to correct the problem.  I'm going to try this to see if it fixes the problem. This is the original water heater and is at least 8 years old. I need to...

Thanks for the responses. The other big concern I had besides parking was  we are planning travel out west some and was concerned about some of the hairpin turns you can encounter.  I don't suppose those would be much sharper than having to make a right turn. I've got experience with bumper...

Hello all. Finally got started on our adventure. Have a couple of questions. 1) Updated our signature to show what we have.. Do I need to add anything else to it? 2) We have the `cart and the horse`, what do you think we need for a hitch? Am going to check with the local RV place but would...

My wife and I are looking to purchase something spring of 2019 made in the 2000's or so.  Right now  we like the Alfa floor plans but aren't set on that specifically..  Unfortunately,  they've been out of business for 10 years. I know a lot of the items like the refrigerator, water heater, A/C...

My wife and I haven't ever owned an RV.  We've got plans to rent a 30' class C for a week from Cruise America this fall.  Looking to camp Pensacola Beach/Navarre area.

Hello everyone.  My wife and I are barely started on our RV adventure.  We are about 3 years from hitting the road.  So we are trying to decide 5th wheel or Class A.  Each seem to have their advantages and disadvantages.  We've visited a few of the local RV dealers in the area to get an idea on...
