Deede, Howdy; NO! That defeats the pourpose of the skirting... Ya want the skirting to BLOCK the wind and cold from getting under the trailer. I spent the last 2 winters in Central Utah. In a 1995 TT. Insulation wasn't the best but me an the pooch made it.....Both winters. There is a...

heed71, Howdy; I have to laugh......... ok, you haven't done much mechanic'in' on stuff. Engineers design some of the most skeewhompus things I've ever ran across. I've had to remove things 5X's the size and weight of what was broke to just reach a screw! If it were up to me.. the engineers...

Howdy All; I got zero replies here. Didn't really expect any as I was 'venting'. Now it is time to say see ya on the road somewhere sometime. Went with another brand of fifthwheel. The pull handles for the Black and forward Gray Tanks are under the fiver and so is the one for the rear...

RickMN, Howdy; Would you post a link to that list please Thanks, hank

Howdy all; Went by my local dealer yesterday... seems that there have been some mid year "changes". They did put the slam-shuts on the XLT's. (That's good!) ADDED a Wardrobe SLIDE to the bedroom (curbside)...Really??? why not offer that as an option? :( New graphic for the nose... reminded me...

Howdy all; Why do some men wear both a belt and suspenders????? They feel more comfortable?????? cuz they can????? Same basic thoughts..... hankaye

Jknollman, Howdy; What do you use to or how do you cover the hole left when you relocate the switches??? Pictures look odd in some places (lol), ..... hank

rustyshakelford, Howdy; Think kakampers has it nailed... also, the suspensions are pre-fab at Lippert / Dexter, whoever... they get shipped in the open, & stored in the open. Then when you picked it up. the roads already had salt/chemical residue on them. Dosen't have to be wet for it to...

Howdy all; The sheep camps were built as modern upgrades to the old ones. They use modern materials but retain a simularity to the way they were and the olden Gypse wagons from way back in the day before propane furnaces were even thought of. The folks at Timberline even build their own...

mrhits, Howdy Sometimes the transfer switch thingy will lie to you. I know hard to believe isn't it... did you try switching to the "Empty " tank to see if it works then? If so, then you have probably been reading the switch worng..... OOOPs, my bad...... That was LAST July... did you find...

Re: The first thing I wished for. Dave, Howdy; Thanks for the reply. Good to hear. hank

Howdy All; Not an owner yet.... Soon... Was courious about plumming diagrams. Does the factory have these available for the owners? Might be a nice thing to have. See where things are routed and maybe some notes as to why here instead of there. Especially if there looks like it might make...

Howdy All; Have a looky-see. These are made just up the road (less than a mile), from where I live (full-time). http://sheepcamps.com/ When I lived in Southeast Ohio the PRIMARY heat I had was wood (14 years). NOTHING warms you to the bone any better. Yes it sucks the moisture outta the...

rikchris, Howdy; Thanks for your input. As a fulltimer once I get somewhere It's awhile before I scoot off to the next resting spot. I think that I enjoy the extra floor space ( I know the pooch will appericate NOT having toback out when he's done eating or getting a quick slurp of water)...

Ray, Howdy; Thanks for the reply. I full time now in Central Utah (we do -20, -30 and sometimes -40's), only in a 1995 TT. This is getting costly to the point of being prohibitave. My decision is split as I do have some hobbies that need a small bit of extra space (that's why I torn between...
