Bill -    Before I change the wiring and add fuses I would spray WD40 on the slide rails.  I do that on mine everytime before I leave for Florida and before I return.  I noticed it does make a difference in the operation of the slides.  Mine like yours builds up a lot of road dirt on the slide...

bross: you didn't tell the full story about your disney trip.  You didn't start your truck all week but what happened when you did try? The battery was dead!!!  I still owe you one.  Fort Wilderness is a great place to stay and I agree that it is the cleanest camp ground around.  They have...

we are staying at Winter  Garden RV Resort and it does not appear to be full at this time.  Very nice place to stay for long periods and reasonable price.  It is located in Winter Garden Florida and along SR50 west of Orlando and north of Disney.  They have a web site you can check out.  Good luck!

This past spring when I was going south to Florida I called the Savannah KOA (I was a KOA member) to make a reservation for the night.  Unfortunately I had some trouble with a tire on my 5'er which delayed me in SC.  We stopped at a KOA there for the night while the tire was being repaired. ...

We are planning on wintering in the Orlando, FL area and are looking at the Orlando/Winter Garden Campground in Winter Garden, FL.  Has anyone stayed there or is familiar with this park?  Would appreciate any info as this is our first experience at excaping the snow and cold.    Thanks in...

I have a 2007 Montana 3475 with the kitchen in the middle and the bedroom to the front with the bath.  It sounds to me like the fresh water drain located at the rear of the unit is missing the cap.  Look under the rear of your unit for a white hose hanging down.  There should be a white screw...

On our recent trip to Florida we traveled from PA down US Route 77.  Just before we got to Charolette we called to Richmond Hills, GA KOA and made a reservation for the night.  Right after making the call and refueling I learned that I had picked up a large screw in my trailer tire which needed...

After contacting the service rep at the dealer where I bought the 5'er I learned that level is always better.  The Husky 16K hitch can be lowered the two inches that I needed.  They did caution that you should maintain enough clearance between the truck bed rail and the RV which should be no...

I have replaced the stock pin box hitch on my Montana 5er with a 5th Airborne air pin box. I matched the new Pin box with the Lippert mounting brackets on the 5er.  To make a long story short the 5th Airborne box is now two inches lower than the stock pin box.  This has raised the front of the...

I have the Husky 16K hitch and you have to open the jaw before engaging the hitch pin. When it is properly latched there is a slotted pin on the front of the hitch that will be exposed when locked.  The release arm will automatically retract and then you need to lock it by closing the latch into...

I did alot of research on the different air pin boxes and just bought the 5th Airborne.  Can't tell you how it will work as it hasn't been installed yet.  We are going back to Florida in a couple of weeks and I am anxious to try it out.  I purchased it through a local independant dealer and...

I just found an advertisement on air ride pinbox hitch for 5'ers and wondered if anyone has one and if they make a difference.  I have a Montana with a regular pinbox but considering  the air ride if it makes for better handling. My Silverado Dura Max does a great job of towing now but do...

Bill  -  Just couldn't resist posting that could you!!!!!!!  Wish I had that pic last week to send to the repair shop.  As they say a picture is better than a 1000 words but it still cannot display the embarassment of being so stupid in doing it in the first place!!!!!!!!  Hope you never have...

Cougar 3514v - I have a Montana 3475 5'er and found that Fort Wilderness is a little tight to get around in but most of the sites have room to get into.  I was impressed with the friendly atmosphere of the other campers and with the employees at the campground.  Everyone had a smile on their...

Just returned from our three week trip to Disneyworld Fort Wilderness Campground.  We enjoyed it so much we are planning our next trip soon.  After towing for 3000 miles in the past month I have found it gets much easier and less stressful.  The convienence of having all your possessions with...
