Re: Fifth Wheel external propane heater
Our Arctic Fox is really well built with double plane glass and good insulation...but as we get older we don't tolerate cold as much as we use too. Normally we wouldn't even go into Colo this time of year but we have another grand child on the way so no choice this time. Also not sure how long we will be there...but probably a few weeks so we want to be prepared. A lot depends on what the weather is during that period...ugh. So far from what I've heard and read we are looking at adding a Wave 6 heater to supplement our 1500 w electric when needed. If there's going to be a storm or something we will look at trying to skirt the bottom with some kind of temp stuff...to keep the freezing temps from the tanks. We will have to run the furnace some of course...It helps we will be spending most of the day time in the house watching the other grand kids. But better to be prepared and we love to boondock anyway. Thanks for all the input from everyone.508Views0likes0CommentsFifth Wheel external propane heater
We are going to be camping in some cold weather in Colorado and are thinking about upgrading our supplemental heating. We have been looking at the Big Buddy and Mr. Heater Wall heaters as primaries but hear a lot about the Olympian Wave heaters, but they are more expensive. We should have at least a 20 amp plug in so we could also use a electric heater..... What is the feedback and recommendations from the group????? Thanks!5.7KViews0likes17CommentsSalinas to Santa Rosa via 101
We are looking at going from Salinas to Santa Rosa via Hwy 101 over the Golden Gate Bridge. We are pulling a 30 ft fifth wheel and plan on leaving to hit the SF area around 11am on a Weds. Any recommendations or suggestions? We have never gone over the Golden Gate and wanted to do it this time. Thanks1.3KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Air bags - required ?
I have them too but my truck doesn't dip much with little air in them. The trailer is level. The only time I'm glad I have them is when I hit one of those unexpected bumps, usually in the middle of the freeway in a big city, and it really bounces. The air bags take some of the "bump" out of it and I don't have to worry about bottoming out. Always nice to have extra stuff on the truck though. :-)258Views0likes0Comments
