RE: Dealer damaged camper
For all that are interested the dealer I am working with is Stoltzfus RV in Adamstown Pa. and yes I feel that I have found a great dealer to deal with.
The whole story started when they did a little damage on the street side slide with a little damage on the skirting that hit some rocks when they ran it out( too close and did not check) but told me right away and ordered new parts to repair.
The second thing happened when I got the trailer home and tried to open it up the hydraulic line leaked and the kitchen slide did not work right,called the dealer and was told how to get the slide closed and to bring it in and they wuld fix it. After repair went to ue the unit over the weekend and the same slide would still not work right, the dealer sent some one over to open the slide and told me that they wuld come over on Mon. to pick it up and take it back to try to solve the problem.
The rest you all know as the damage occurred @ their lot after they got back. We have not seen the damage as the dealer is 60 miles from our house might tryt o get them to send me pictures.
Sorry so long but catching you all up on what isgoing on. Thanks for all the positive posts from everyone did not post dealers nameright away for fear of alot of bashing.
I have alwasy heard good things about Stoltzfus and this confirms it. WE are real glad to hear they are stepping up to the plate instead of just trying to make it and you go away.. Good luck and Happy Camping.. Joe ps. enjoy that new trailer !!!

RE: Durango 355BH by KZ or Cardinal 38BHQS LE
I can only comment on the KZ product,as I have a Montego Bay. The Durango is a very nice unit and KZ has Great product backing and a 2 year factory warranty standard. With that beeing said,I have no 1st hand knowledge on the Cardinal other than great reviews here. Go with what YOU think is a better fit for you and needs as they both will be a good decision. Good luck in your decision... Joe

RE: Ft Wilderness discount
We are annual pass holders and they always put different discounts out just for annual pass holders. It is usually during off peak times, don't think there are discounts via travel agency, but well worth asking... Joe

RE: Proper method to lift trailer for tire removal
What about this? Trailer Aid This is what we keep in our fiver and horse trailer. Has worked great so far, lightweight. We've never had a flat tire, but use them all the time for taking tires off for various reasons.
I have always used a bottle jack under the spring pack,,, just picked one if these Trailer-Aids up and have not used it yet,looking forward to try it out in my driveway NOT on the berm of the highway !!! Joe

RE: H1N1-If you saw what I see daily, you'd be really careful!
I just got over the N1N1 and it was NO fun !. I felt pretty bad and went to the Doctor, he tested me and it took 3 days for the results. He started treatment right away assuming it was the Virus as I have heart issues and pulmanary issues that he was very concerned about. 2 weeks now and starting to feel ok again.The bottom line is YOU DO NOT WAN'T to get this bug. My wife and 2 daughters got the shot today.Joe

RE: Weld or Bolt Fifth Wheel Brackets?
I would not weld on ANY frame Ford,Chevy, Dodge...Once you heat it up even just enough for L brackets to be attached, that could weaken it just a bit.

RE: The length of the planks that I park the trailer on
I also use a seperate board for each wheel. Measure the distance between each wheel( where it touches the ground ) and make sure the blocks are no longer than that. This way you can put them in between the tires and either pull up or back onto them.... Joe

RE: Air Pressure: Door Sticker or Tire Rating, which to use?
Assuming that you have the same tires that came from the factory, I follow the door sticker when NOT towing and fill to MAX. stated on the the sidewall when towing.

RE: Have we made a BIG mistake
I too have the 5th Airborne pin box and it is real nice. Depending on health, it was not too hard to install I did mine myself in about 2 hours. If you let the truck and electric legs do all the lifting. I also have the Mor/Ryde system on the trailer and that combined with the pin box is a fantastic combo...Good Luck Joe

RE: Fifth wheel with 2 FULL baths?
Teens and friends are old enough to go to the campground bathhouse by themselves. why fill up your grey water tanks to accommodate them? and in a year or two, your kids won't want to be going with you anyway and the trailer will be too large then.
bumpy
We carry little plastic totes for our 2 daughters ( 11 & 16 ) to take to the bath house. You will find that your kids will probably NOT have an issue using the bath house especially if they have friends. Also 2 full showers?? What kind of water pressure do you think you can get running 2 showers at the same time,let alone the hot water... The 1/2 bath option ( sink and stool) is a nice option.
