Ok, I normally camp a lot but this year I am only going one week due to some health issues. I have a 2010 28BH that I picked up in April of 2009. since it is going to be parked I thought now is a good time to do all the preventative stuff I can. So I am here to ask what are things I...

Thank you for that information, That is exactly what I was looking for. I just ordered a set. Can't wait to get under the camper and add this. Should be just the amount I need.

What is the proper way to lift my 2010 28bh fifth wheel 2"-3"? I have upgraded trucks and the camper sits up in the front I can not alter the hitch due to clearance of bed rails. I would like to do it the correct way, but the only thing I am familiar with are spacer blocks but I have read bad...

Wow Jim, that is a lot of stuff. Thank you, this is the stuff I am looking for. I will tenatively put down three days for this area. Thank you, Steve

Thank you all for the input, I really love this forum because newbies such as myself get good advise and are not laughed at. I understand the 50mile an hour average as I drive from CT to DE / WV alot and congestion and breaks kill your time. For this vacation / Trip I am planning 21 full days...

Thanks for the thought, I actually grew up in DE and my family is from WV so I and my wife have seen most of the sights between them. This is really more about the gulf coast as we have never been there. You are right though there are a lot of good places to see in MD, DE and WV. a few of my...

Good day all, I would like to run an Idea by this very experienced group to see if any one has either done this before, or can give advice on places along the way. I was just given the go ahead from the wife to plan a long camping trip for 2011. What I would like to do is this, I live in CT, I...

Good day everyone, I have a question regarding the hot water heater. I own a 28BH with the 6gallon DSI. I was told by the dealer that it is best to use the heater on Gass? And that I should not use the electric option. My question is this.... how many of you use the electric mode? also...

Thanks for the replys, I really like the home made manifold picture. I took the interior wall down today and tried to find the leak. I did not find anything at all. No cracks or broken fittings. what I did find was that my City water connector on the inside of the UDC took another 1.5 turns...

Good day all, as the time nears for me to winterize our camper I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good cover that is made for my model? I have a 28BH fith wheeler but it is 30' long? so do I buy for a 30' or a 28'? any advice would be welcomed. Steve

Really? Come on no one has a comment?

I have contacted my dealer about most of the stuff. The Rear jack was a dealer installed option so they contacted the maker and they sent me a new motor. I opted to put it on rather than go to a dealership or repair shop. The screen was suppose to ship out awhile ago. My dealer did forget to...

Well, here I am 4 months later. My family has spent approximately 19 nights in out Camper. I am still very much happy with the camper but here is my list of things that have gone bad. Dielectric grease? Our Hot water heater will not work after sitting for a few weeks unless I go out and move...

Hello all, I just got back from a weekend of camping. While camping on Saturday I noticed the underbell storage compartment in the front had a lot of moisture on the floor. It was not on the ceiling and leaking, nor were any parts of the interior walls wet. What I did find was that the hose...

Thanks, I'll check it out. There was no smoking at all. Just happens when the AC is on. Very weird...........

So the one panel was more than enough to keep the batteries charged. Do you plan on expanding this setup or is this just for the batteries?

Good day gentlemen, I have a question for you guys. This is my first diesel truck so I am not sure if this is normal but I tend to think not. The other day I noticed for the second time that when sitting at idle with the AC on, when I start to take off.......nothing happens for a few seconds...

Great job That is a really nice looking setup. My wife and I were thinking of going this route. We dry camped the first week we bought our F'ver and it was about 28 outside at night. Day two we had no power and no heat. I added the second battery that day. But I was looking into solar as a...

Hi, I have a 28BH 5ver and I noticed two extra drain hoses close to the steps. They have the same connection as the fresh water drain. I am assumming these are the drains for the hot and cold water lines? Are these what I would use to drain the hot water heater?

Thank you all for the replies, I just thought it was odd that there would be any space in there. Guess it is normal. I am at a loss because I did not get any paperwork with the hitch. Again thank you, -Steve

Hello everyone, I have a question about my hitch. I am not sure if this is normal or not so I thought I would ask in the one place I am sure to get an answer. When the 5ver is hitched there is about 1/2" of space between the jaws that I can see the king pin through. That is with the hitch...

Just got back, 2799.7 miles total driving. 2K with the camper in tow. Man I love the 5ver for towing. Backing up is going to take a little getting use to. Well we took delivery on Good friday a RV wholesalers in Lakeview Ohio. I was missing a few things, I missed the form for the rear...

Ok folks I am off today at 2:30 to start the Pilgramage to pick up our new toy. I will document the Camper as best I can and report on our Maiden Voyage when I get back. Happy Camping -Steve

Wow There are so many people with new campers None We are doing our part to stimulate the economy, or at least that is what I tell the wife. I really like the Idea of hooking up the hose at the dealership. I think I am going to do just that. I have read alot on here about water leaks so it...

Will Do I plan to Document all the likes and dislikes, if there are any, as the trip goes. I also figured it would be a good Idea to bring a notepad and list the nice to have and the need to have Items we may forget to bring.

Well folks I am getting pretty giddy about picking up our first 5'ver (2010 North Trail 28BH). So we are in CT and am going to RVwholeSalers in Lakeview Ohio on for the Good Friday Pickup. We should be there around 9am. I worked with Preston there and he did work for this sale. I was looking...

I was thinking of the industrial casters on the rear. First I have to get it home to see if this is indeed an issue. If it is I am sure I will be refering back to the last post. thanks everyone.

So DntDctr, since you have the twin do you have any issues with the rear end of the trailer dragging on small inclines? I have a small dip at the end of my drivway and then it goes up 4 verticle feet over 80'. I am getting a little concerned about being able to get it in the driveway. I read...

Thank you all for the kind words. I am getting pretty excited about picking up our new vacation home on wheels. I would love to do the Goshen rally but my 8 year old will still be in school until the 23rd of June. One of the requirements for the 5ver was it had to have bunk beds, my sons...

Good day all, My wife and I took the plunge and purchased a new 5ver. It will be our first Camper. I ordered a 2010 North Trail 28BH. Looks like we will be picking it up on the 11th of April. I have gotten over the buyers remorse and am now full of anticipation. I chose the 5ver due to the...
