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.

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.

We just bought this 5'er yesterday..

2003 Sunline F-311SR

Here's it's first pic, with it hitched up and ready to leave the dealer's lot!

Nice truck, that F-450 will do the job. King Ranch comfort, and a nice fiver as well.

I love it when a plan comes together. :B

Thanks guys.. lots of box tops later.. my dream combo. Last truck pulled it real good, and it was a baby by this standard. I actually drove it today for a little while and it still amazes me. probably always will.

[mwebber78]

One sharp looking combo. I especially like the truck.

[ford_truck_guy]

hey NEVERSWEAT7 ,,,That is a REAL SWEET combo, I am jealous !:B

Good Luck with it Joe

[NEVERSWEAT7]

2X on the axle flip. I have an 09 Jayco I bought in June that had the same nose high attitude yours has and although it didn't seem to handle all that bad I had several problems.
1 Only 5.5 inches of bed clearance
2 I had the 3 steps at the door and the bottom step would hit the ground
3 When coming to a stop my front tires would lock up indicating I had too much weight on the back tires and not enough on the front.

Jayco adjusted the spring hangers to the lowest hole on the Jake plate but still I was too high in the front. I was at the Pamona Rv show and noticed that all of the 2010 models (not only Jayco) came from the factory with flipped axles to address an indusry wide problem with the newer trucks with higher beds. I ran into the factory rep and he was kind enough to sit down and talk to me. I showed him some photos I had on my cell phone and explained the problems. He contacted Steve Richardson the owner of Richardsons Rv and a few days later I had a phone call from Richardsons saying they would do the axle flip but had to get it approved from Jayco as an axle flip would normally void the warranty. A week later the axle flip was done, under warranty I might add, and evertyhing is good. I have a level trailer and 6.5 inches of clearance between the bed and trailer. The 5r rides, handles and stops much better when it is level.

After looking at the pictures again, I think I would consider flipping the axles under the trailer to get it more even with the truck for level.

68dodgeramman;
the picture was taken at the Fontana race this last fall (Oct 2009) we had a spot in the infield for the weekend. This was our annual GOLF (Guys Only Ladies Forbidden) trip.

Shadoow,
That Cedar Creek has some SERIOUS window space! Great looking rig.
