Re: Fifth wheel question
Road Phantom wrote: Bare in mind that quality in the RV industry usually means heavy. Other than weight, things can still go wrong with the highest end 5th wheels since compared to the auto industry with robotics and quality control to stay competitive, the RV companies seem to be more interested in getting the product out the door as quickly as possible. However, there are a few top remaining companies out there. Double Tree was a great full time rig. I understand they are no longer in business, but many of their near new units are out there on the lots. Carriage is also a good quality rig. The better built they are of course the more you will pay. Double Tree is still around, had to change name to DRV due to conflict with the Hotel chain of the same name.436Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV friendly fuel stop on I70

I could get there with an easy 80 miles of fuel left. That said, you do realize that all service stations get filled by double tankers. They fit just fine, you just need to look ahead as you approach. True but I will be going from Grand Junction which is uphill, not sure what kind of mileage I will get so I'm trying to plan ahead just in case. The tanker trucks do not have to go through the islands, they usually fill at the end of the drives/lots.718Views0likes0CommentsRe: forest river quality
We are very happy with our CC 36ckts. Wife and I go to the RV shows to see what is new and walk away saying we didn't see anything we like better than what we have. Have not found one with as much room as we have in the bedroom even with the king size bed.483Views0likes0Comments
