Re: Need some advice on which 5th wheel units are "high end"?
If you are looking for a fiberglass roof and something on the upper end, Excel limited would suit your needs. They also build their own frames in-house. They also make their own bedding and actually use box springs under the mattress. Give them a look.. You won't be disappointed. http://www.excelrvs.com/301Views0likes0CommentsRe: Someone got me/My truck good!

I don't want to discourage you, but I want to show you what happened to a friend of mine. He was towing a 29' Sunline and I believe he said it weighed-in at about 7,200lbs. He had just crested a hill and the trailer started to sway. As he was reaching for the brake controller, the whole rig flipped. The trailer landed on it's side and the Suburban landed on it's roof. Please base your purchase on the trailer's maximum GVWR and forget about it's unloaded weight. Most people end up carrying a lot of "Stuff" and the weight adds up very quickly. Like I said, I am not trying to discourage you, or scare you. I just want you to be aware and make as informed a decision as possible. BTW: Both my friend and his wife survived, with some injuries. They did have to be extricated from the Suburban. They also lost a dog, after it ran from the scene. Below, are some pics of his rig.. My late wife and I, bought the wrecked Sunline and dismantled it for parts. Sad454Views0likes0CommentsRe: Black Tank Leak - questions
I had a severe black tank leak, on a travel trailer that we used to have. Instead of buying a kit, I went to Lowes and bought a can of ABS cement and a short piece of ABS pipe. I used a reciprocating saw to make several cuts along the piece of pipe. I gathered all the cuttings and put them in an old cup. I poured some of the ABS cement in with the trimmings and stirred it up. I had already cleaned the crack as best as I could and scuffed the area around it with a wire brush. I put a couple pairs of disposable gloves on and spread my weld in and along the crack. That was 5 years ago and that tank has not leaked since.148Views0likes0CommentsRe: Someone got me/My truck good!

I've done quite a bit of research, since this happened. Lots of horror stories to be found! Even several stories of people buying DEF in the container, from Walmart, and returning it full of water. You just can't trust people these days!461Views0likes0Comments
