Real-life experience blocks to aid 6-point leveling system
We have just purchased a new-to-us 5th wheel trailer with six-point leveling system. Watching videos on how to use the six-point leveling system it states that there is no longer any need for wood or plastic blocks underneath the wheels to level from side to side.
What is your real-life experience on the need for some type of block under the wheels to aid the six-point leveling system?
Do you carry any blocks with you?

Poor workmanship -- Entry Level VS Higher Price ????
In the automobile industry (maybe because of consumer expectations) we expect the quality of workmanship to be the same regardless if we are purchasing a Chevrolet or Cadillac. The Cadillac will be more expensive primarily because the interior is more expensive but we expect the workmanship (such as the fit between the doors and fenders) of the Chevrolet to equal that of the Cadillac.
I have been following RV.net for over 15 years during this time there has been a number of postings about the poor workmanship on travel trailers and fifth wheels. I really don’t follow motorhomes postings.
My question: is the poor workmanship limited to the entry-level trailers or is it also a problem with the higher price trailers?

Replacing the table and chairs with a booth ??????
My fifth wheel has a table and four chairs. I am thinking about replacing the table and chairs with a booth because I get the extra storage underneath the bench seats. Has any of you made this type of replacement? How difficult was it? Can you suggest a vendor/model number?

RE: Roof coating help or advice
I've never seen a vent like that. What is it?
I think it is the refrigeration, but it NEEDS a cover.

RE: 30 foot run of sewer hose--downhill?
No problem, but I would use white PVC 3" (?) sewer pipe. It will drain better and last longer and cost much less $$$. You can get an adapter to attach the PVC pipe directly to your RV. No need to glue the pipe together. A press fit will work fine.

Sidewall has delaminated near the top -- DIY Repair ???
Yesterday, I noticed that my fifth wheel sidewall was delaminating near the top. I suspect water has leaked between the roof and the vinyl (?) sidewall. In the next few days, I plan to patch where the roof and sidewall joins with tape and liquid rubber roof coating. Have any of you done this type of repair and how successful were you. Assume I caught the leak in time I do not expect the wood has rotted simply that the glue has got wet and allowed delamination.
Any and all suggestions and comments are welcome.

We wish to spend the night at Hartig Park in North KY near Cincinnati. However, my GPS will not allow me to get off I-71 at exit 62 and drive west on US 127.
Does anyone know if this road is closed??? or why?

RE: Small mistakes can make big problems
We were camping in Bryce Canyon and I noticed a couple a few campsites away continually adding charcoal lighter and sticks and leaves to get their campfire started. I think they use the whole can of charcoal lighter. After about 15 or 20 minutes in which they were completely frustrated that they could not get their campfire started I decide to walk over and give them a little help.
It was not a campfire they wanted started but a charcoal grill. They had never used charcoal before and they thought it burn like sticks and wood. I explained how charcoal worked and told them the charcoal would be a ready in about ½ an hour just wait until it turned white.

RE: How often and how to clean black tank
Leave a few gallon of water in the tank (plus a few drops of soap if you want) and drive down the highway a few mile and it self cleans.
