Hitch fit with lube plate
After installing a lube plate the slide bar operates very hard when sliding over pin collar. Their is essentially no gap between flats on hitch and pin box now and its hard to tell when weight is off to unhitch. This makes no sense to me being I have owned a different 5th wheel in the past with no issues. It seems the pin doesn't go deep enough in the hitch.1.5KViews0likes9CommentsRe: King Pin fit?

It worked fine once the plate was removed. Apparently some pretty close tolerances on those kingpins or hitches. That is exactly my situation, I had to remove the lube plat to get it to latch properly. A previous 5th wheel I owned had no issue with lube plate on it and had plenty of gap between pin box and hitch when unhooking at site. I don't see much of a gap on my current one so its hard to tell when the weight is off enough to pull the slide pin.504Views0likes0CommentsRe: King Pin fit?
- My king pin total length is 3" - Length to bottom of pin groove is 2 1/2" - Bottom of hitch slide bar to top face of hitch is 2 3/16" That only leaves me with a 1/16" clearance between bottom of slide bar and pin groove. I'm getting to wonder if the pin is just to short for this particular hitch.502Views0likes0CommentsRe: Awning Screen Room

When we had our 30 ft. Class A a few years ago, we used the Patty-O-Room if we were going to be in a spot for several days; it was quite handy and gave the kids an area that they could even "camp out" and play and we even stored some of the extra stuff you tend to accumulate while owning an RV. But, it wasn't easy to put up and took two people to do it right. What brand of screen room do you have? Some are well built while others are bulky and take up lots of space in the RV when in their storage bag. It says Open Air Deluxe Screen I think by Camco255Views0likes0CommentsAwning Screen Room
I Have a never used screen room that came with the rv we bought that attaches to the awning. Anyone find that these are worth the trouble to install. I don't know if I like the fact that I need to install these self adhesive mounts all over the side of the camper that you can see when its not set up.1.3KViews0likes5Comments- 474Views0likes0Comments
Re: BBQ for RV
I have the Weber go anywhere grill and looks like I have to replace the regulator. I have a very low flame with a new cylinder, anyone else have issues with gas grill regulators going bad? I previously had a coleman grill before and got so frustrated with bad regulators I quit using it. About ready to go back to charcoal.474Views0likes0Comments
