RE: Want to add a cig charger inside-ideas?
Both of the trailers I have owned had a 12V cigarette lighter outlet built into the TV antenna booster switch. With luck, you have one too and just overlooked it.

RE: 5th wheel lifting bracket
I have a hoist mounted in the bed of my truck. I use it to place my generator in the bed when we take it. Off load the B&W slider hitch base when I don't need it and to reload it it back into the bed. Purchased it for $75.00 at HF.
Please post a picture of your setup.

RE: HELP PLEASE!! Stranded in Jasper, GA
Addendum to my previous post-
The towing service Good Sam sent took my trailer to an RV park and helped me do a minimal setup, level and electric but no water or sewer, so my disabled wife and dogs could stay there while they took me and the truck to the closest Ford dealer which was about 30 miles away. It was over 105 degrees outside, so I could not have left the wife and dogs without the A/C. When at the dealer, I got a rental car and them went back to the wife and completed the setup. We stayed 4 days, if memory is correct, while Ford fixed the truck. It was a major repair and I can't complain about the time it took.
While the heat made it an incredibly bad experience, without Good Sam ERS, it would have been much worse!

RE: HELP PLEASE!! Stranded in Jasper, GA
When I broke down Good Sam towed the combo, and dropped the 5er off at a rv park, and took the truck to a dealer.
Same here!

RE: Fresh water overflow?
You can put water in the tank faster than the overflow can let it out. I once saw someone walk away from their trailer while filling the water tank. The tank over-filled and bowed the floor inside the trailer because the overflow couldn't handle the input. I suppose the tank would have eventually ruptured if left any longer. Luckily, there didn't appear to be any damage to the floor.

RE: 6 Volt Battery Charger
Why?
Two 6Vs are nothing more than half of a 12V. Connect them like you do on your trailer and use a standsrd 12V battery charger.

RE: Detailers
Just find a good RV park in the area and ask them. That's how I found mine.

RE: Residential refrigerator upgrade
You can also convert your existing fridge to an energy efficient AC or DC compressor cooling unit.
JC refridgeration
Not with them that I can see.... Try West Marine instead.
It looks like you can. Scroll down the Products Page.
Dang! I might make this conversion myself.......

RE: anyone carrying 12' kayaks with 5th wheel
I use a F350 CC LWB to tow a FW and haul a 16' canoe on top of the truck with a roof rack and goal post. It works well.

RE: Water pump on fiver periodically pulses
If you have no leaks, then it's probably the check valves in the pump leaking down. They make rebuild kits for most pumps which usually come with a new diaphragm and new valves. Look online with your pump part number
^^^^ YES!
