Re: Last Post, DW has died
Ron, I don't know you-- but on these blogs, it seems we have some sort of association. So sorry for your loss. I don't know the depth of that sort of loss; but my MIL passed away in May, a healthy 83. My mom was taken by cancer at 61. I'm sure, like my wife, she would want you to be content till you see her again. I'm going to try listening better to my wife when she says hook up the camper. Take care my friend and our prayers are with your family -brent509Views0likes0CommentsRe: Threaded screw inserts
You would need to know how much 'power' the inserts have. You may need more of them than you think. Also check under floor to be certain you don't drill into something important. You may have thought of this and other things, just the first few that come to my mind. (my gas tank is under the floor)205Views0likes0CommentsRe: Happy Jack Bed ???

I have our taller ladder attached with a c-clamp and strap. I (300 lbs.) go up there to make the beds for the kids. Hasn't been an issue for us. Doug, is that weight with heavy work boots on, or slippers? :) -brent629Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newbie questions
1. You will not only be concerned about how far from the pump; but how much space in front. I can usually put the rig about as far away as possible (and still rich the nozzle) and be able to make the turn. 2. Depends on the turn. the 5th will cut the corner more than your rear end. I swing wide, as wide as possible and and make all the allowances I can. It is still something I find takes lots of paying attention. 3. Don't know your hitch, I have a B&W slider and it makes some noise at start and stop simply from the nature of all the parts. Do you hear it only at start and stop? Could be the hitch, or not. It is worth spending some time with the windows down and listening I would think. 4. That is not many hours if it is original with your Fuzion 5. I don't know how your mirrors are, mine are just shy of seeing down the side of the 5th. Our is 8.5 wide, I think an 8' I could see down the side. That being said, I don't have any problems as one is seldom perfectly straight all the time so you can get good views from one mirror or the other most of the time. I would not go the extra for the side mirrors. It depends on your comfort level or experience. I have driven so many wide trailers that I have learned to compensate and stay vigilant. The newer rigs have them available for a price and if buying new I probably would not order them, just my opinion. Ours is under the hay cover for the winter, looks like you may be able to use it this winter from your picture... have fun. -brent266Views0likes0Comments
