Prepping TPO roof for caulking
I am going to recaulk my Vinyl TPO roof. What cleaner should I use over the existing caulk and roof surface prior to applying the DiCor self leveling sealant? I don't care to use the Internabond tape. Thanks

Fifth wheel jack points
My Mobile Suites owners manual sez to jack the trailer up at the frame. Why the frame? Why not at the axle spring shackle?

Lynx levelers harm tires??
I want to buy a set of the Lynx Levelers for my heavy 5th wheel. The tires are G rated. I am concerned that the grid surface of the levelers may harm the tire steel belts. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

RE: Wire up 220V dryer in 5th wheel?
Isn't the 50 amp service into my RV really 50 amps per leg totaling 100 amps? I have to digest all this info. Thanks.

RE: Wire up 220V dryer in 5th wheel?
Could I just tap into the RV load center and put another sub panel in the laundry room?

Wire up 220V dryer in 5th wheel?
We would like to buy a Whirlpool laundry center for our 5th wheel. It is 220V and fits into the space allocated.. Can I just tap into the RVs 50 amp load center with a 220V CB and run wiring to a 220V dryer receptacle? I believe the 220V dryer is more efficient and speedier.

How to disable security system with starter interrupt
My tow vehicle has a security system that interrupts engine start until a security code is entered via a dashboard located key pad. It is a 'Safe Guard' system and I find zero info on it. Having to turn on the ignition and then key in a four digit code is a PIA and I want to remove it. I think all it does is interrupt the ignition start command to the starter solenoid. Anyone familiar with this thing?

RE: 5er Newbie
Thanks everyone. I am currently waiting to get a 20K hitch to replace my current 14K hitch. My truck is a Chevy C3500 one ton with duel rear wheels. The engine is a gasser 454 Vortex. It appears it will do well based on a short tryout in our Ozark hills. Now if I can get my motorhome sold, I'll be a happy camper. Thanks again folks.

5er Newbie
We just upgraded from a motorhome to a 37' Mobile Suites. I have only pulled this RV several miles. I'm looking for the gotchas associated with 5th wheel traveling. In particular, any suggestions for getting in and out of gas stations? Refueling was always a hassle with the motorhome and towed car. Thanks

Info on slide mechanism please
I just bought a Mobile Suites fifth wheel. The slides are hydraulically operated by a single pump. I noticed that each slide has a long hydraulic ram yet the slide arms have gear teeth on them as does the electrically operated rack and pinion. I can't figure why the support arms are geared.

RE: Surburban Sf-30f furnace
Is the burner tube rusty inside? Rust will flake off and cause the orifice to clog up. Choking helps momentarily.

RE: From a Class A to a 5th wheel
We just bought our first Fiver. We had four motorhomes. So far we love our Mobile Suites.

RE: Ready to pop for a 5th wheel, advice please
That is a very high price for a 2004.
I didn't catch the price eariler. You don't say if its a Cameo or a Carri-Lite? I just looked at NADA and couldn't find what you listed as a model. Might be worth it but seems high just from the surface on a 9 year old rig. I had a 34' 2004 Newmar KountryStar which was the winner after I toured 3 manufactures in 2004 and it was listed at $62,00 new. Actually purcaased new for $51,000. Traded in in 2010 and got $20.000. Randu
It is a "Carriage" model CW374. It is neither the Cameo or Carri-Lite. Whatever it is, it seems first class. Very nice inside. The "graphics" are all painted on not decals which is nice. How about the Norcold 1200 fridge. Will I need to toss it?

RE: Ready to pop for a 5th wheel, advice please
Carriage is kaput.
Another question. This unit has the four door Norcold 1200 refrigerator. Shall I factor in the cost of replacing the cooling unit unit since there seems to be safety issues with the Norcolds?

RE: Ready to pop for a 5th wheel, advice please
Uh, Oh I noticed a crack in the fiberglass running from the front corner of the bedroom slide opening south west to the trim piece. I stress cracks a common thing with 5ers in the front slide areas?

RE: Ready to pop for a 5th wheel, advice please
I toured Carriage a few times and recall Aluminum studs with fiberglass batting. Same as house type construction. Carrage made their own frames so another plus. Randu
Looks like it is the "hung wall" construction like Newmar does it. This is a plus I think since it will not delam like the sandwiched walls. Thanks

Ready to pop for a 5th wheel, advice please
We are about to pull the trigger on a 2004 Carriage Model CW374. It is in near new condition and has four slides, new tires, washer dryer and a large atrium slide. Asking price is $37,000. Anyone know if Carriage used the hung sidewalls instead of the laminated type? Does Carriage have a good construction reputation? We are hoping to get it for $32,000. Thanks. I will be monitoring this website tonite for your comments.

RE: "Duck Coat" roof coating
Anyone tried this?
http://duckcoat.com/
Who suggested you do this ?
I saw it at Menards. It can be used with pooling water and is not water soluable. I'm going to try it on a EPDM roof on my wifes art studio. If I like it, the RV is next. Appears much easier to use than the two part "Liquid Roof" EPDM product.
