DW and I started our new Adventure yesterday. I have never pulled a 5th Wheel before. It is a learning Experience. We learn from our Mistakes. When we got to Ringold, Ga I misjudged a Turn and I smashed up the side Panel Door on the Steel Barrier at a Gas Station. I made an Insurance Claim. It is still towable. We were headed to a Campground in Savannah, GA. We are currently at the KOA in Calhoun, GA. Now the first thing we are doing is to go to the Camping World in Pooler, GA to get the 5th Wheel repaired. I will post an Update later.
Well, buckle up. This may be your first "adventure", but it will not be your last. You can count on more adventures. We have been full timing for 4 years, and have had significant problems. Once a chain link gate did not stay open, and closed on our travel trailer. I looked back and saw a bunch of junk on the road. We tore off the side of the trailer that cost the insurance company $6000 to fix.
We have had 2 tire blow outs until we got new tires. I now use tire minder on the wheels, and an IR gun to tell the temps of the wheel bearings.
When backing up we hooked our auning and it had to be replaced. Be as careful as you can.
