Just finished the whole tread. My tip: I have a piece of pvc pipe cut to the height of the hitch to hook up the truck. It also has lines marked for the width of the slideouts.
Great idea Scott 85. I only have one slideout but two compartments on that side of the 5er. I wrote the measurement for the slideout on the inside of both compartment doors. I keep a small tape measure just inside of the forward compartment. If I have any worry as to if I am to close to something, just takes a couple of seconds to measure to see if I can fit.
"Small tape measure" = easy to loose.
You can do similar with any "device" you always have in a compt:
Ex: A sponge mop, broom, etc. Mark the handle...;)
