    Fresh Water

    Thanks for the replies. I did see that 45 gal doober at camping world, but it seems akward? I was told about some containers that come with a pump to transfer to the trailer. I will do some research... Thanks again, Mo

    Fresh Water

    Does any body have any ideas on how to carry extra potable water for dry camping. I mean I know the obvious answer is to take containers. But are there any suggestions on which type that will fit in the truck bed with 5th wheel. Are there some that have a hand pump or something similar to...

    Unhitching

    All, thanks for the great replies I am still new to this whole 5er thing and I really appreciate this site. I guess if you think about it the pin never really chaged orientation, it's still just a round stationary pin floating in the air as a target right? So it really would not matter at what...

    Unhitching

    Just a quick question about unhitching. I have found myself sometimes after backing into a site, my truck is not facing straight ahead anymore and is turned one way or the other. I then struggle to get it aligned before unhitching which can be quite a chore sometimes. Can you unhitch...

    Fifth Wheel Hitching Question

    Hello all, I just bought my first 5er and am doubting the un-hitching process. 1st you let the front leggs down to the ground right? Then you extend them until you see a small gap between the hitch plate and pin box? Then you release the locking handle right? Just seems like my landing gear...

    Satellite to do or no to do?

    Thanks for all the replies again. I think I'm going to install a dedicated line through the side of the TT. How hard is it to drill a hole all the way through, what are the chances of hitting something (i.e. stud, pipe etc..) I bought a lead in kit that has about 8" of coax in between the...

    Satellite to do or no to do?

    Thanks again. Cookie I found out the coordinayes I was given were wrong for my zip code. I called the Winegard folks and they set me straight. They also said I could just point it South and do it mannually. Kinda bummed about the local channels. I thought I could get to where I was going...

    Satellite to do or no to do?

    Thanx for all the quick responses. I purchased Wineguards new MP1 potable system. Seems to work fine except for local channels? Direct TV is supposed to be coming out Thursday to figure it out? My questions are: Are network (ABC, CBS and NBC) just something one has to do without? And does...

    Satellite to do or no to do?

    Ok, I'm looking at getting the dish with the tripod set up. I was told to drill a hole and run a separate line into my coach as I don't have a sat outlet. I do have a cable outlet though. Is this the best way to run the set up? Should I poke the hole so it's nearest where the TV is, and have...

    Generator

    Yeah, I read the dB rating for the Husky and it was 73dBA. I found a ETQ also put out by home depot and it was only 63dB? Brute, why are the dealers recommending the honda 3000? Just asking I'm trying to learn as much as I can.

    Hello all, have been looking at the Husky line of gens. Is a 3650 watt sufficient to run my TT. I only have 1 AC and a micr/convection oven as the biggest draws? Thanks
