RE: 5th wheel emergency tow Leavenworth In/ Louisville Ky
Just leave the 5er connected like I did a few years ago. The wrecker took me to an Rv park and dropped the 5er, then took my truck to a Dealer lot.

RE: Leland pin box 7900
Quote from Etrailer :
"According to my contact at Reese the Leland 7900 pin box has the same measurements as the 7910. Which means that if you are looking for a pin box replacement for additional turning clearance the best choice is a Sidewinder pin box part # ST400-5AS16K. This moves the pivot point back for the trailer 22-1/2 inches which will allow a short bed truck to make tight turns without needing a slider hitch."

RE: Reese Goose box spacers
A 1621 is 12" wide, and if your Goosebox is 12" you don't need spacers.

RE: New to 5th wheeling
I would check the clearances before towing, and you might need an offset ball for the Mega Cab, or get the auto slider mentioned above.

RE: B&W Companion hitch removal
I installed an electric hoist in my garage and store the hitch on a 4 wheel dolly.

RE: Another heated water hose question
Most campgrounds have it in writing that you must disconnect the water hose in below freezing temps, or you will be responsible for the repairs to their hydrant.

RE: Vanleigh shutting down
I just saw that too, so sad to hear that people are loosing their jobs. The repair and warranty division will continue to operate which is good since I had two blowouts this summer and have an appointment in March.

RE: 2023 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon
Jerry, yes the good old days, I wish I could forget trading my Dodge Super Bee for a Chevy Vega due to gas prices, getting married, and long commutes to work.
Grit, I agree that the 4.3 was a little beast of a motor I had in a 1985 swb Chevy 4spd granny 4wd truck.

RE: VanLeigh by Tiffin Fifth wheel
I bought a 2019 Vanleigh Pinecrest mainly because the factory is one hour from me, but have only been there once for minor punch list items.
My wife checks the Vanleigh FB page and they seem to have the same problems as most other brands.
A month ago I had two blow outs (WestLake) and will be taking it in for repairs.

RE: Truck starts on its own
I came out of Lowes the other day and my truck was running, and wondered how I managed to hit the start button twice in my back pocket.

RE: Rockwood & Flagstaff
Looks like a nice couples floor plan, and at 8k dry and 10k wet the towing would depend on the tow vehicle used.
I would opt for theatre seating instead of a couch unless another bed required.

RE: Two blow outs in one day
Thanks pianotuna, I agree going to 16" and LT tires works good for 5.2K axles, and I think sitting in my driveway helped kill my tires in three years.
Have I said how much I like theses new GY Endurance tires. :)

RE: Two blow outs in one day
I had a 2012 Cedar Creek Silverback that I installed Bridgestone Duravis R250’s on and they were great.
Thanks for all the post, I feel better now knowing it happens to others too.

RE: Two blow outs in one day
Process of elimination, I drained the water tank to 1/3, 80psi always, the first tire that blew never sees the sun when stored, I drive 65, I never saw a road hazard.
I do tow a few inches nose high and that increases the weight on the rear tires.
Trailer axles weigh 8740 lbs have not weighed them separately.
