We live in Missouri so I need one good for cold sloppy winter and blazing summers. The trailer has 2 AC vents and digital antenna. Thank you Mike Jenkins 2018 Palomino Columbus. 42'DetailersDoes anyone in or around the KC area know any good detail companies that do a good job cleaning the outside of trailers? Thank You Mike Jenkins 2018 Palomino Columbus 42'Re: Long Trip ConsiderationsAs a relative newbie (only 1 really long trip) the thing I would add is the Good Sam website has a trip planner function that allows you to plan your stops and will show you Good Sam parks and others. Most have websites and the reviews can be really helpful in choosing a spot. Keep an open mind when reading reviews, it seems some people expect rv parks to be the Hilton and while we all like clean modern parks descriptions can very. And like the others said, it's vacation so relax and don't stress, if something has to change just make the change work for you. Get some track books to find those places to see stuff that are not advertised. Off The Beaten Path is a good one. For instance did you know there are wagon ruts from the Oregon trail in Wyoming? They are definitely a ways off the path but we'll worth seeing. Remember it's not the destination it's the journey there.Re: Lifting Fifth Wheel HitchThis looks very handy, I have been usinga strap designed with 2 hooks and a center loop to lift the carrier. With this I won't have to take off the saddle. Thanks.Re: 5th Wheel TailgatesI just want to thank all of you who provided the many opinions,stories and advisements. There was a lot of good information to consider. I have decided that since I am a year from using my trailer full time that I will keep the factory gate for now. Thank you all Mike.5th Wheel TailgatesI have a F350 dually that I use to pull my 42' Columbus. This is my first fiver and I would like to hear from you about tailgates. We are not full timers and I would like to know whether folks like the fiver tailgate or do you miss the factory gate. I still have the the factory gate on and have plenty room once the trailer is connected.
