I don't think a one time dose of water will do too much damage if it is dried out completely. But, if the black water tank was never connected, and it's supposed contents went into your floor, then...

Was hoping there was some kind of RV group insurance. Don't really want to get into an Obamacare discussion. Thanks for the Christian Healthcare suggestion.

Health Insurance

So, I have the 5th wheel on the site and am waiting for it to dry out enough I can get under it to hook up the water and sewer. I am also waiting for Kansas City Power and Light to hook me up. Then...

Too late now. Already took out a second mortgage on my home and sold 10 liters of blood to buy the 5er hitch. But, the gooseneck hitch sounds better. More like a trailer hookup. I have a short...

After my first failure to get the 5th wheel backed into the site. I got a friend of mine to help guide me this time and I ignored my wife(after 25 years of marriage that part is getting easier). ...

Well, that went well

I have been pulling and backing trailers for 40 years. But never tried a 5th wheel until today. Brought our new Jayco 5th wheel to the mobile home court we will be living in. It pulled much better...

Question External Full Time Propane tanks

I am a new full-timer and am trying to find out how to have an adequate supply of propane to heat the 5th wheel without having to run to have the 30 lb tanks filled every few days. I installed an...

I hope to do the same thing tomorrow. I bet it feels great. Congratulations. Is it your first 5th wheel? How was it pulling down the road? Did you feel like the tail was waging the dog? Are you...

We share 10 GB among 5 cell phones. We could increase it to 20 GB for a reasonable increase in monthly cost. But after that, it is $10 per GB. What I was talking about wasn't cell phone usage. I...

I wish!!!! No, each campground you go to will have a different cable provider unless you stay close to the same area and are very lucky. Fortunately, cable providers don't make you sign 2 year...

Currently trying to set up to work from campsite. Problem is, Verizon doesn't have unlimited data. Can't see doing my work with 20 GB limit and adding data is very expensive fast. Had to find a...

That is excellent. That is what I have to keep telling myself. I can't help it, but when I look at that monster, it looks like a semi. That is why I have always avoided them. Seems like I should have...

Thanks. They look like regular scissor jacks to me. I expected some kind of electric hydraulic arm.

The specs you found say it is 13 ft. and 1 in. high with air-conditioner. I would say 14 ft. would be cutting it as close as I would want. I texted Camping World and they said it has 2 landing legs...

Not sure what you mean by airbags. The truck comes with airbags for if you get in a wreck. Is there a 5th wheel towing airbag?

New 5er

I have camped in everything from a pup tent to a Class A Motorhome. But, I have avoided 5th wheels because to me they looked like 18 wheeler rigs. Over and over, I have been told that they are...

What I was trying to do was save on initial set up cost. My plan was not to use the toilet for "poo" but rather only put "pee" in it. In that sense, I guess rather than a black water tank, we could...

That makes sense that it could be gas lines. I will have to check. The Jayco has two grey water tanks and a black water tank each with their own manual dump valves. That would be three different...
