New Eagle Ht coming Thurs
Hey just want to chime in on the Fifth Wheel board, traded a 2015 TT 28BHBE for a new 2015 Eagle Ht 285RSTS,  Mama and I just decided to go a total new route, no bunks more comfy for just the two of us, looking so forward to picking it up Thursday, I love all the info the forums offer, I read a lot of great tips and things to look for, will continue to do so with the new unit as well.
I will try to post some pics if I can figure it out, never got around to it with the TT.
Cheers for now
Pete

Congrats, best advise I recieved when buying a trailer was to plan to feed 10 and sleep 2. Sounds like you're headed down the same path

I was thinking drinks for 6, dinner for 4, and sleeps 2, and hopefully the guests are bringing the drinks and dinner lol.
Just curious anyone using the nylon lube rings , that push onto the pin, if so do you still need to grease everything as well, just less?

I bought two, used one only once before installing the "Sidewinder", which says in the instructions, "Do not use lube rings with the Sidewinder." Oh well.

Thanks, yeah the theatre seating is really nice, pulled it home yesterday, wow does it track beautiful, night and day from a TT, used a nylon lube ring as suggested, works really well, now to load her up and get some use out of her, I need to figure out posting pics, do I have to create an album and the post the link for it?

Thanks, we had it out this weekend , a local park just on the outskirts, wanted to give it a test run close by , everything went well, missed a couple small issues on delivery, but took some pics and called the dealer already, should all be good.
Here's a couple interior shots, just had that want to show it off felling, sorry for that, lol
