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.

Took out my 5th Wheel for the first time since I bought my 2017 2500 CTD and even though I didn't go far it was enough to know how she preform, I'm planning about a 300 miles trip next month.
As promised, first pic of the rig on site. Maiden voyage with my Rockwood 2659WS. Pulling with my Silverado 1500, w/ bags, but pretty close to maxed out on the larger inclines here in the Ozarks. Kept speed up, but next investment will be a larger truck! 25mph+ cross winds did not help much, but it was a pretty short haul.

Did first test tow with our 2018 RAM to verify hitch height, 5th Wheel level and correct operation of the Disc Brakes, all went well.
Nice looking rig!

Great Mods ! !! You will LOVE the discs... I know I do ! !
It's sad it needs to be a "MOD" on these larger RV's especially.
Couldn't agree more ! ! Glad to see that at least SOME are offering as an option.. Let YOU choose to skimp or not..
I personally would choose to skimp on glitz, and get the IS and discs..
I went to the disc side with my other fiver, and the difference between drums, and discs on a large fiver is huge !
And now we're living the life.....full time in our new home. Left San Diego, spent a week in Colorado Springs area, then another week in the Black Hills and Mt. Rushmore area of South Dakota....down to Norman, Ok to get the disc brakes. We've been here in the Ozark mountains and Little Rock area of Ark. for several weeks. Headed to Texas next week, for the winter. Here is a pic taken this week....

New Goodyear G614 tires and disc brake conversion....provides a much more secure feeling going down the road. It use to feel like the truck was stopping the trailer. Now if feels like the trailer is stopping the truck.

Only a few months into the RV life so far, but completely hooked. Was a backpacker and camper all through my youth, and now hope to use my RV for a base camp to keep on trucking! Purchased new 2017 Grey Wolf in June, been out about 5 times and decided this was the life for us!
Traded it a three weeks ago for a 2018 Rockwood 5'er and this next week is it's maiden voyage. Will be posting a pic of the new rig when we have it set up in camp, and I figure out how to post pics. For now, here is the Grey Wolf set up at Clinton State Park, Lawrence KS
Every person we have met in our short experience has been friendly and helpful in every way, seems to be the way of the lifestyle!
(Thanks for the re-size Mod, I will figure it out eventually!)

Picked up our new 2018 RAM Truck, awesome truck, everything we expected and more.
Ordered it with a 4:10 Axle Ratio and Air Ride rear suspension, rides very nice.
Will make our first trip pulling our Redwood 5th Wheel in a couple of weeks.
You will REALLY love the rear air ride!!! Run 35 rears solo and 80 front ALL the time. Air rears based on load plus 5psi.
