We have the Air Force One installed and are completely happy with it. 

We have heard good things about the Safe-T-Plus. Planning on installing one on our coach.

Before we went full-time, I did a lot of research. We were told: If you are going to be parked for longer periods, get a fiver. Motorhomes are meant to be driven. We full-timed in a 41' Montana Big Sky for three years and loved it. We spent 5- months in Florida during the winter and traveled...

We bought a 2017 Chevy Equinox 2WD, 4 cyl. Because of the "death wobble" scare, we opted to have the battery charger installed, so we can leave the fuse in. We have taken two, month-long trips with no issues. The Equinox is easy to hook up. Just run it for 5 minutes before tow; put in neutral...

We just traded our fiver and truck for a motorhome. We have been getting prices to set up a vehicle for flat towing and everybody wants around $4,000! That's in addition to trading the CRV. Ours is a 2015 and that is the year they made them NOT flat towable.  We are in Central FL. Anybody have...

See if the back will come off.

The Beast.

We just traded our fiver and truck for a Thor Palazzo! Since we are no longer full-timers, we decided a motorhome would better suit our needs. Really looking forward to our new adventures.

I don't know anything about the Anderson hitch. We had the B&W turn-over ball installed and bought the B&W Companion fifth-wheel hitch. Loved it! Just pull the ball out and drop the hitch in. Lock it, tighten one bolt and you were ready to go.

We have had the Roll-X cover on the last 3 trucks. 1/2 ton Hemi, 3/4 short bed and 1 ton dually. Love it. It just rolls up behind the window and held in place with clips, when towing the fiver. Drop the trailer and unroll it to secure things in the bed. It is aluminum with black vinyl cover. ...

If your truck has the B&W turn over ball, you can get the B&W Companion fifth-wheel hitch. You just remove the ball and drop the Companion in the hold. No rails nor adaption to the truck bed. We have used one from the very beginning, because I wanted to be able to tow a horse trailer if I needed to.

If it really is just to keep the dog out - Have you considered one of those wood framed screen doors? I know somebody who used one on the door to their baby's nursery, to keep their cat out. It would be light-weight, but keep the dog out.

It is true that a 3/4 ton can haul a lot of fivers, but you have to watch the cargo capacity. That's where a lot of people go over. We did. We had a 2014 RAM 2500 short-bed and loved it. When we traded up to a fiver that was a little bigger, we found out the pin weight of the new trailer was...

I want to name them Bob and Sam. ;D

I have to disagree with the statement that 90% of full-timers have motorhomes.  We full-time in a fiver and most of the full-timers we meet also have fivers. There probably isn't a way to find out the percentage. We have a 1-ton dually and drive it all the time. No problem. You get used to it. I...
