Tow vehicle specs
We currently have a 5th wheel and are thinking about a Class A and hitting the road. Thinking about a tow vehicle. I am thinking Jeep Wrangler, but have no idea what the specs need to be. Mainly, if flat towing do I need a manual trans? What connections do I need for the brake lights to work. Or is having the front wheels off hte road better? Totally uninformed here. Thoughts please!!!!5.3KViews0likes16CommentsAuto slider or manual
My new truck has a 6' 8" bed and I have a 2018 Rockwood FW. I understand the functional differences between an auto slider vs a manual slider, but was wondering how often I need it to slide. I vision myself being in a small town and need to make a sharp corner and I need to stop traffic to get out of the truck and let my manual slider slide. Am I being realistic/crazy?4KViews0likes16Comments2020 Chevy new bed length & auto slider
I purchased a 2020 Chevy 2500 HD crew cab with the new length bed 6' 8" From all indications, I will need a slider for my 5th wheel trailer. I much prefer an auto slider and right now the only company offering one is DEMCO. Do I really need the slider and if so, what other suggestions do you have?1.5KViews0likes6CommentsRe: 2020 Silverado 2500
You didn't state the length of your bed so I am going to ask a similar question.

Our 5th wheel (34') has 4 heat vents. One in the bathroom (hotest), one in the bedroom, one in the middle of the living room, and one at the far end of the LR. The furnace is under the bathroom and the thermostat is close by the bathroom. Thus it gets hotel near there while the LR is still cool. Any issues with putting a luvered vent in the bathroom and closing it?2.5KViews0likes11Comments
