Forum Discussion
The DW and I own a Rockwood Sig. UL 5W. Traded our Keystone Passort for it back in March of this year. Completed our annual out west trip (21 days) on 23rd of May. 3800 mile tow. Ours has the two recliners in rear that we really like for end of day relaxation.
Only a couple of minor problems. The hotwater heater does not heat as good on gas only as it does on electric only. Have just been using gas / elec at same time until it get it figured out or take it back to dealer.
Other problem is that the black tank drain line, due to location of the black tank, does not get flushed when you drain the grey water tank. Thought the black tank drain valve was leaking but was not. Must use the tank flush connection or at least flush a couple full toilet loads of water down with the drain valve open to get the drain line flushed out.
The 5er is a lightweight. A sticker on the bumper says you'll void the warranty if you add any weight to the bumper.
They have the torsion flex axles, no springs.
Had a flat west of Tulsa, Ok due to road debris. A good kid in some company van waved us down before any damage was done to the trailer. Have ordered a Tire Pressure monitoring system for installation .
I'm towing with the reese revolution sidewinder pinbox which was great not to worry about tight turns but I was getting minor sway in heavy cross winds.
Oh ya, the bed is really comfortable.
