RE: Carrying a 500 lb motorcycle on the back of a Solitude 5er
I've looked into this also and in searching I found a bunch of these photos and they were just bicycle racks;

RE: Jacking up 5th wheel?
I use a floor jack and then put 6000# jack stands under the axles I'm working on.
You carry a floor jack & jack stands with you on the road??
No, I thought he was speaking of driveway repair, I used the truck jack on the side of the highway and with the big trucks going by the trailer was moving around, didn't like that felling but completed the job.

RE: belly liner repair
Mine kept coming loose from the strips of metal that clamp it up to the frame so after the second time of trying to re-clamp it I bought strips of 1/8 x 2" metal and bolted those up in 3 places from frame to frame, hasn't moved since. Fortunately I didn't get any tearing (so far).

RE: cleaning the outside of the 5'er
Thinking back to my boating days I had an old bayliner that had probably a half inch gel coat that used to be robin egg blue, I used a product called Penitrol and scotch brite to remove the oxidation then a buff with the 3M polishing compound and then a buff of McGuire's boat polish. Sold well...

5th wheel pin lubricate
So I moved from a truck camper to a fiver and while the truck was ready for a hitch I didn't have one and my buddy had an extra that's older but seems to do the job, I noticed some wear on the top of the receiver where the pin rides and it looks like it's taken about a 1/16th ridge off the top.
I mentioned this to said buddy and he said I should have a pin lubricating disc, I asked if it would be a Teflon type of washer and he said yes and sent me a link.
Wondering if I'm the only one who didn't know about this as I like to keep things maintained but relatively new to the 5er game, even though I've read several posts since changing over (4yrs or so) I must have missed any mention of the plastic washer that fits up on the pin.
Do Y'all have this on yours?

RE: Holding tanks
We have a rear kitchen so it has it's own grey tank with the other up front for the shower/bathroom sink. So 3 tanks to dump when it comes time and I have to pull forward about 15' to get to the third.
