Bob & Sal:
September 5We concur with the last suggestion. Try hot water first. If it doesn't soften enough, try boiling water. If that doesn't do it, the hair dryer will but be careful that it doesn't get too soft and sag out of shape.
Debbie White:
September 5we have a 1997 wilderness fifth wheel model 27-5J and need to know has anyone ever had to replace the doorway arch moulding leading up to bedroom. We bought a piece from an rv dealer and it snapped in half once we reached the arch it acts like hard plasti... more

Suzy Compton:
August 28Newbie question-I have a 40' 5th wheel with 5 slides. Planning close to full time living in it, but only staying a month or less at any location. More boondocking than rv parks.

What's the highest wind velocity you've experienced while camping? What ... more

- KurtO August 28 Suzy, I too have a 40 foot fifth wheel. I have been camped (we usually use a campground) in 50-60 mph winds and we barely knew it was blowing. The biggest issue will be if you are driving and have a crosswind. Any questions pm me.

  Packratphyls August 30 They can boondock here in Cornish, Maine at Packratphyls while they do day trips to the white mountains of New Hampshire or Cathredral Ledge for all the fall colors. They can go east on day trips to all the beaches or The awesome 3 hour cruise on the Mail... more
  
  Landyachty - Jim & Peggy September 5 40 ft and boondocking all over N America
- Lyle & Jan Huff August 29 We carry a NOAA weather radio that alerts us about severe weather, but if you're boondocking there is no storm shelter to go to. We've spent many hours in park storm shelters and seen a lot of damage at parks. Slide in before leaving for the shelter. Some... more

- Gary & Lynn and Scott McNeel August 29 Suzy, We have a similar 5er with 5 slides and on the Oregon Coast we have had sustained wind of over 40 mph with gusts up to 60 and other than some minor rocking, have had no damage.
Lee & Erica:
August 26We need a tow!!! Anyone on the northern Oregon coast (Pacific City/Newport area?) Our usual tow person for our 5er can't help us in the coming weeks (medical issues) and we are in a bind!! First move is in 2 weeks - September 10th.

Can anyone help? Hav... more
- Gary & Lynn and Scott McNeel August 26 We are in Neskowin and should be here September 10th - what is your rig, where are you and where do you need to move to? We have a 1 ton Chevy Duramax.

- Lee & Erica August 26 I have a 28' Aljo Alliance and we are currently at TT Pacific City RV Park, going to TT Whaler's Rest in Newport. Let me check, but I'm pretty sure you could pull us!
- Dreamers and Travelers/ Tom & Prescott August 28 Tow to where? May assist if time is right. We're aways south til November. Message me all pertinent info, should know schedule by Monday when available.
The Allgoods:
August 25We have an ac unit that leaks water into our camper,when it shuts off at temp we set. Can anyone tell me y and how we can fix this. My hubby has cleaned it. Checked everything he could. Help plz
- KurtO August 25 Did he go up on the roof and check the ac drains? Sounds like it is backing up and the overflow is getting in the ducts.
- Big G & Lou August 25 If you’re talking about dripping after it shuts down, it’s possibly freezing up in high humidity. Then melting after it warms! I had one that would do that , in High humidity, until the coach air cools and humidity lowers
- JVBV August 26 I agree with all the other commenters as possibilities. Easy button at this point is to call a certified technician and have he/she diagnose and repair. Continued water leakage will lead to more problems. Good luck!

- JVBV August 20 I've seen lifts for motor coaches but not fifth wheels (it's even hard to find a bicycle rack certified for ,5th wheels!) Some states allow you to tow another trailer behind the 5th wheel. Worst case, ride the bike and have your wife drive the right! Good luck!
- Larry and Gayla August 20 DRV has one called the “Full House” that is a toy hauler for your bike.
- c&dyaker August 20 there are toy hauler fifth wheels and there are heavy duty trucks with removable ramps that have room for your Harley. thgerte is also a lift for smart cars that can lift your Harley. Not sure who to contact for this info but there is. a New Horizon owner... more

- Rick & Lil August 21 That bike is too big & heavy to "hang" off the back of a 5th wheel trailer. Hanging that much weight of the rear (if it would even be allowed by the manufacturer (DRV)) or structurally, would be a nightmare to modify the frame to accommodate not only the ... more
