How to test your 5th wheel for dry rot

Park it in the path of Hurricane Patricia. Yep this one did have dry rot



It was stored at Laguna del Tule in Melaque

This freighter did not do so well either, took this phot deep sea fishing today.

    What is dry rot? That looks like wet rot to me, but I don't know what dry rot is...okay, looked it up. Dry rot is a fungus that eats wood...don't want any, thank you! Probably not get too much here in dry old Colorado.

  • All things considered, that's not as bad as it could have been (for the 5'ver.)

    I love the structure around the 5'ver with the water in the background. Keep that monkey business up, and I'll forgo my fears, and check it out one day. ;)
  • I'm guessing the Freighter has more problems than the 5th wheel :@
