Re: 36 ft FW vs 30 ft TT backing
goducks10 wrote: I've only been 5th wheeling for 5 seasons. I still embarrassed myself. :) Sometimes it's the mirrors, other times I miss the mark 2-3 times. Sometimes I nail it on the 1st try. If the site is on my left when backing in and visibility's good I can usually nail it. On the curb side it's harder. A backup camera is on the spring to do list. Part of my problem is the DW. She still doesn't understand that the 5er reacts slower than our TT did. By the time I get the "Go that way" message, I'm too far into the procedure. If the sight is gravel I drag a line with my foot and say this is where I want the 5er tires to go. The other thing I found is to go SLOW when backing up. If you go too fast you'll overshoot your correction point. I'd much rather back up a TT any day. Agree on rather back a TT.390Views0likes0CommentsRe: Power Awning

Be sure to have a way to get to it, i.e. a ladder. Consult your awning literature for details of your particular setup. My awning is the same. FYI : I was advised, once you do a manual roll up, do not con't to use it that way. I was told the manual roll up is a one time deal, that needs to be repaired before the next use. When they say it needs to be serviced, they mean it will need a new motor. When you manually roll it up, it ruins the motor.401Views0likes0CommentsRe: Smelly bathroom !

You should just be able to call their customer service with the serial number of the toilet and they can tell you. If it is, they will send a shiny new model 310 to replace it. They were leaking between the bowl and outer wall.....444Views0likes0CommentsRe: Morryde pin box
I had the same question. My trailer weighs 10060 empty and I probably have no more than 1500 lbs loaded. My gvwr is 14,000 pounds. The lighter and heavier pin box splits at 14,000 lbs gvwr. I talked to a Morryde rep and she said if I got the stiffer pin box, I would most likely get some jerking. I went with the lesser rated box.513Views0likes0Comments
