Hello- I found you on this forum as we apparently have the same fifth wheel.

I just got this RV and know NOTHING about them. I've very handy but the RV world seems to be stumping me, so I've got questions and since you have the same RV I was hoping you would be willing to help.

I'm looking to permanently hook this fifth wheel up, and not move it.
Shore power, water, and septic.

I've found the water line is blocked, so I'm working on that issue.

How does this thing hook up to shore power?

And the slider- my motor is blown, but again I only want to put it out once, so do I just manually crank it out? Is that done via the connector off to the side of the slider?

That's a start of my issues... more to come if you're interested.

Thanks in advance- Thomas

Hi, I also have this camper. I have the same issue with finding the shore power inlet.

As far as the current systems. I'd opted to create a new solar battery system, I don't trust the gas lines, and electric since it's over 20 years old.

Have you had any luck?

Figured out the shore power issue, found the AC power line and added a new plug and it has worked very well. Not using the gas lines as I've swapped the fridge to AC only, don't use the heater (use an electric tower heater instead) and just swapped the water heater out and only hooked it up to AC power as well. Only AC issue I've found is I'll pop a breaker in the winter running the heater, fridge, and electric kettle or Microwave all at the same time.
Still trying to figure out the water system as I get water filling my gray tank when I'm on city water yet I don't have a check valve to fill the freshwater tank (my entire freshwater tank system is physically bypassed).

The AC Powerline/plug goes into a breaker box below the sink in the bathroom on mine.
