Your Rig

[RVcrazed51]

I'd like to give a huge THANK YOU to Brad, the Moderator over the Truck Campers forum for his assistance with this thread.

Thanks also to RVcrazed51 for his request for this thread.

Post photos of your Fifth Wheel on this thread. Any photo with a 5er in it is allowable; any brand, any year.

This thread is generally for Fifth Wheel photos only. But feel free to post comments on posted photos.

Because this thread is very long, I will occasionally clean it up by removing the older posts that do not have Fifth Wheel photos and other off topic material. Also, please limit photo width to 640 pixels by using: width=640. Please do not post thumbnail size photos, they are just too small to see.

Register at photobucket.com (free), download your pictures (takes a while), hi-lite and copy the URL, then use the "image" icon to paste the photo URL.

Hi everybody, I'm looking to buy a fifth wheel, hopefully by the end of the year. And I was just wondering if some of you would care to post some pics of your fiver.

HELP PLEASE
I just bought a 2001 alfa gold 5th wheel that the dry weight is 13,500 lbs. I am looking for advice as to weather I should be looking at FORD F-350 ,or do I need to go by the GVWR on the truck?? If so I would need a F-550 with the GVWR at 18000 , witch is the loaded weight of the 5'er
I see a lot of photos of F-350 and Ram 3500 ,but is it because your 5'ers are lighter or am I wrong in my thinking?????????
Please help a.s.a.p, so I can make shure the truck I get is the right truck.

I would diffently be looking for a bigger TV at that weight I would probaly be looking at a meduim duty truck like Freightliner, Peterbilt, or even Volvo these trucks are designed to haul the heavier loads and you would get better mileage with the price of Fuel now a days, but don't go with Ford or Chevy (GMC) though, they have the same engine as the pickups and the weight of the truck and trailer would give very poor mileage. I used to deliver vehicles all over the US and I can tell you this from experience not only that but even a used medium duty truck is going to be alot better then a new pickup not only that but could also possibly have a GVWR of 25999 lbs which gives you plenty of lee way on your weight just go to your local truck stop and pickup one of the truck sales magizine and take a look you might find a truck ready tow for less then a new pickup not ready and the biggest reason is that these bigger trucks can be serviced at truck stops all over and even on the side of the road alot easier then a pickup

I have a 2001 Alfa Gold 5th wheel. I bought a Dodge 3500 dually Cumming diesel pickup and have had great results with it including driving over the highest paved road in North America without a sweat.

Here is a way that works for me Gary.

Upload the pic you want to install in your message here:

Image Hut - FREE

then highlight and copy the URL from the 'Direct link to image:' line. Then click on the 5th button from the right above, looks like a stamp with mountains. Paste the url line in the 'Enter the complete URL for the image.' space and click on enter. Easy.

You can resize with 'Image Hut'. No affiliation, usual disclaimers.

Right click on the below gif and look at the properties as an example.



Questions? Hope this helps.

Enjoy your journey,

Joe

Just a message to say hello. We are in the process of swapping out a keystone for a k-z. Will update information later. Thanks

[partsman01]

I will post another of mine.
Hardly used it, but maybe one year I will get to use it as much as I want to.

Just got my fiver last November. This is my first time posting. I have been lurking for quite some time. Great info! Here is my rig. Do not give me too much grief about pulling with a 1/2 ton. It does fine, UVW of 3900 lbs. and I suspect loaded 5,000 lbs. (I still need to put it on the scale.) Bigger truck would be nice but this one is paid for. Only been on 2 trips so far, with my third tomorrow to Lake Superior. Love it so far, everything has worked.

slackmaster,
Does the truck even know it is towing anything? That is a great looking combo.
