C'mon guys - Travelnutz has been a wonderful help to us, since he DOES understand our situation; and even though we've been RVing for 10 years, when it comes to 5th wheels, we're "newbies". Thanks to all the things we've learned on this forum, our travels with the Class C have been delightful - and I pray that will hold true with the 5er, too. I'm a bit nervous that the maiden voyage will be all the way to Florida....
Re slides: the building bay where the 5er is currently parked is actually 25 wide by 50 long and 16' tall. But Ed has all his tools and cars in the way, darn it!! So I was able to open the super-slide about 75%, and that was *just* enough to open one pantry door (and see where the blasted heat registers were located). So far, I have scoured every square inch of the exterior, with caulk gun in hand...LOL!
