Try to help
I'm no expert, but I'm wondering a few things. If you turn your breaker on and replace the fuse and turn the AC on, does it work? Where your 3amp fuse is, is there power to it all time? Could...

Run while you still can!
Looks like you're losing insulation (or about to) from the under belly. Don't like it when the siding is cracked, torn or whatever and the front is sure chewed up. Cost a bunch to fix it up.

That would make me nervous!
Has the campground called an electrician to check things out? I'm no expert and will admit it so don't beat me up, but I wouldn't hook our camper up to that. The electronics in the newer models are...

What I got
I thought I would give you some actual figures from a scale ticket for our truck to give you something for comparison.
We have a F350 dually King Ranch with the 6.7 and a 44 ft toy hauler (triple...

Better checkem!
Probably have to pull the hubs off and look. If your 5th wheel is a 2000 it wouldn't hurt to check and/or replace them just to be on the safe side. Even sealed bearings can get contaminated with...

Something Loose?
I noticed the lights were acting funny on our new toy hauler and found someone had forgotten to tighten the battery cables. I would check for loose connections and grounds first thing.

Big Dumper!
I take a 5 gallon bucket of hot water and dump it in the toilet as fast as I can. That seems to knock loose anything that might be kind of hanging up in the tank. A lot faster than filling up the...

Really like the Ford Super Duty

Trouble!
Our first Splendid dryer sounded like it had gravel in it and it lasted about 15 minutes, the replacement was kind of noisy but I hadn't owned one before so I didn't know what "normal" was. That one...

That was good timing. I got the class A a few years ago but just bought a toy hauler and heading for Glamis in December. Got a new toy!

In Kansas if your gross combined vehicle weight hits 26,000 lbs you need to have a Class A license but it doesn't need to be a CDL (commercial drivers license). A written test and took a DL examiner...

Not wild about tight turning radius!
Hope I don't get blasted for this! I try to avoid making really tight turns in campgrounds or anywhere else for that matter. I would rather pull up and back up a time or two and avoid putting a lot...

Don't know where you live, but in Kansas we have state troopers that check VIN's. They have guides for auto's....maybe RV's as well.

Love the room!
I've thought about switching to a motor home but when I get in one I miss the all of the room we have in our North Point. Sometimes you and the significant other can need a little space. ;)
