    Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendations (or Insights)

    All. First apologies if there is another thread on this...couldn't find it. Anyway, we are looking at moving up from a TT to a Fiver, I went looking at underbed mount hitches (I want my bed open when not towing) and there were two models on the shop floor...B&W and Pullrite. The guy at the...

    Heartland Torque 301/321

    Thanks for the insights....they make sense when you present them especially around the triples ride on the "toys". Yes we have gone through the floorplan and really like it...one of the items that is drawing us to this trailer is its relatively lightweight (unloaded (about 12,400lbs) and loaded...

    Heartland Torque 301/321

    Gang. The Mrs and I have spent three years in our 30ft TT, while we like the floorplan and the amenities of the trailer, we have decided that we want to move to a bit bigger trailer and one where we can get the bike out of the weather  :) when in transit...so we are looking at the Torque 301...

    Broken Spring Shackle bolt

    Hi Gang. Sunday we returned from a two week excursion to Sturgis, Yellowstone, etc. Upon putting our trailer into storage and placing the wheel chocks in place one side wouldn't fit...upon closer inspection under the trailer I discovered that the right rear spring shackle bolt was missing...

    Motorcycle Lift on a Fiver...

    OKay, I found out what we were going to do I thought I would update the thread.... Here it is, likely not to anyone's surprise Lippert said NO! that any welding or modification to the frame in anyway voided the warranty...well if you don't ask, you dont get an answer. :-[ I just got off the...

    Motorcycle Lift on a Fiver...

    Thanks Sarge... As for tongue weight - Check, IF we go this route adjusted tongue weight will be right about 1400lbs (good news is that the fresh water tank is forward of the axles so this can be adjusted up with water) Good thought on the tire wear...added another item to the list. Working...

    Motorcycle Lift on a Fiver...

    Gang. The Missus (and I) are looking at upgrading from our Denali 292RKX to something a bigger, we started looking at Toy Haulers as we take along our 2008 Harley. We found a coach that suits her in terms of living area, unfortunately its not a Toy Hauler...its a standard fifth wheel (Elkridge...

    Getting Weighed

    Wish I saw this thread last week.... The Mrs and I took our rig (2005 LB Chevy 2500 HD+2008 Harley+2009 Denali TT) out for it's first outing of the year down to Seaside, Or and on the way back north ran through the scales just outside of Warrington. I got measures for the: Front Axle - about...

    Okay what is it......??

    Yup...just called Dutchman apparently this is the manual crank access point for the living area slide (appears that the bedroom slide manual crank is under the bed...need to check that out); thanks everyone for the guesses.

    Okay what is it......??

    That's what my friends and I think it might be....just didn't want to go cranking on it and mis-align or bugger something up. Looks like I need to breakdown and call Dutchman. :-\

    Okay what is it......??

    Nope...that's on the tongue....the connected bar runs up into the undercover into the kitchen area, but its not the hot water heater, 'fridge, (too far back) or furnance (on the side of the trailer, but in the same general area). If you look at the brochure picture you can see the access hole...

    Okay what is it......??

    On my Denali RK292 there is a fixture under the trailer on the door-side that the manual jack handle will fit; however there is nothing in any of the literature as to what it is, what it connects to, and when I turn it in an exploratory way it doesn't appear to be the manual crank for the slide...

    New Guy....

    Thanks...like I said we were convinced to give RV'ing a try and we don't do many things half-way (which sometimes gets expensive), we bought the TV/TT in Aug and now have a total of 12 nights under our belt to some local sites. We have learned a few things, made a few adjustments to our...
