Re: 5th Wheel with no dually truck
I have a Ceder Creek 33ik. Just traded an F-350 SRW gas for 2019 F-350 SRW diesel. Both two wheel drive. All of my weights are within guidelines Single rear wheel for pretty much the same reason as yours. With both trucks I have pulled from Illinois to Yellowstone and from Illinois to Florida. Mostly on interstates. I have never felt that I didn't have the highway stability or the stopping ability I needed. In the mountains I go down as slow as I went up. At highway speeds I watch for ANY reason to slow down. I've been pulling 5ers since 2008. I haven't yet and hope I never have reason to regret my choices. BTW if you are looking at a new 5er go to a large dealer and take one third off of retail. We bought two brand new 5ers (including the Cedar Creek) using those numbers. The smaller dealers can't make the deal.583Views0likes0CommentsWe have to move
Hi All We are in Jacksonville Fl. until around Jan. 15. We have to move. We would like to find a nice RV park\resort around central Florida, the Tampa\Orlando area. The places on the beach in the panhandle are booked. Anyone know of any parks that have vacancies for a months stay. Any suggestions are really appreciated.

Just installed camera on a 5th wheel V tailgate. I don't have the ladder but fished the camera and entire harness out of the tailgate. I removed the panel on the inside of the tailgate and getting at the clips was relatively easy. I ordered a camera relocation kit through Custom Flow, the people who made the tailgate. It included a plastic box to install the factory camera. The power lock part of the harness is no longer used.241Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Tires Today
Bought our Goodyear Endurance tires one day after our first blowout on our 3 year old Constancy brand tires that came on our Cedar Creek. 2018 trailer. Tires were over a year old when we bought new trailer. Got an estimate from a body shop to repair the damage.399Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dish & Wally Receiver
My Playmaker came with only a 30' cable. The guy from "Dish for my RV" said you have to include the length of cable in the wall. Mine is about 20'from the dock to the reciever. He stressed check your RG6 in the wall and anyting over 50' expect trouble. He may have been covering for the products he sells. For the signal meter click menu....diagnostics....not sure where in that list is the satellites and signal strength.436Views0likes0CommentsRe: Gardiner Montana
There are two nice parks in Gardener. One is "in town" We have stayed there twice. Not bad at all. The other is about a mile North. We stayed there several times. It has many retired full time RVers that WorKamp in the park. Fewer children. DW said they had the cleanest wash rooms and laundry she had ever seen. I would recommend either one. In season make reservations early.321Views0likes0Comments
