Has anyone does this? and how often? My FIL's class A is over 10 years old and has not been changed to his knowledge. Thanks for any input!Re: 5th Wheel Insurance question guidry wrote: It's a vehicle per most DMV so I would say it would have to fall under vehicle insurance. But the right answer would only come from your insurance company instead of an RV forum; even though we are all experts in everything we say...(ok, you can laugh out loud now!) Nice answer!! LOL I did!! You all know it all!! ??5th Wheel Insurance questionCan a 5th wheel that will be put on a seasonal site and not moved be insured under a homeowner policy or does it have to be an RV policy? And which one is the better? My wife and I are thinking of trading in our class A and just go seasonal for the foreseeable future. We do not have a tow vehicle so it won't ever be moved endless it needed major work that a mobile mechanic couldn't do. ThanksNew 5th wheel no tow vehicleMy wife and I went seasonal this year for the 1st time in our 35'class A not realizing how much we would actually LOVE it. We are looking at trading in our class A for a 39' 5er and stay seasonal for 5 or so years, but we do not have a truck to tow it! Does anyone have a 5er and no tow vehicle?? And if so what do you do if you need to take it to a repair place or want to take it somewhere? I know there are companies that move them but would like to hear others personal experiences!! Thanks!!Re: Long term Seasonal suggestions...Thanks, I forgot to mention that it's not a diesel engine, regular gas.Re: Long term Seasonal suggestions...

Years of inactivity might be a problem but I can show you very high dollar farm equipment and irrigation wells that sit for months and sometimes a couple of years with no adverse effects. A few months at a time no problem. Now your generator should be excercised at least monthly but that is not an engine issue but concerns the electrical portion itself. Thanks, but, I forgot to mention, it's not a diesel engine.Long term Seasonal suggestions...My wife and I are in our 1st year being in a seasonal site. We have a Class A MH and love to travel but did not expect to like being seasonal as much as we are!! We were thinking of staying a few more seasons (maybe 3+?) but I know having a MH engine sitting for so long is not good. We even have thought of selling and getting a 5th wheel but we have nothing to tow it with and would still like a MH for travel in the future. Is there a way you can set up the engine for long periods of non use? The way we have to set up on the site makes it really hard to pack up and take it for a drive every few weeks so moving it at all is not an option. I can start it up and run it but cant pull it out.
