Can anyone tell me if West Coast Leisure Home Limited recommended a 6' or 8' box for the 2005 Okanagan Truck Camper 90W? I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 and a concerned that the camper will extends, at the rear, over 3 1/2 feet past the truck bed. We are considering buying the camper and would...
New to Forest River but not RV'ing. What does the battery disconnect mounted to frame do and how does it work? While RV was connected to truck for two days, truck battery was drained while RV battery was still 100%. Could the bat disconnect have tripped to cause this? If so, what would make...
My name is Brian and my wife is Sandra. Moving up from a truck camper to a 40' Class A pusher. Big learning curve ahead. This forum has already provided a ton of info. Looking forward to our travel's!
I just got my first diesel truck. Do you all get fuel where the truckers get it or do you go to the auto section? Any hints I should know? I have the pump nozzle adapter.
When disconnecting my truck from the 5th wheel, I raise the fifth wheel until I see a slight gap (less than an inch) between the hitch and the camper. My next step is to disconnect the camper from the hitch. Every time I do this, the truck moves forward about 6 inches from the camper. Is this...
Oh no! Another gas vs diesel thread? I hope not and don't intend to take it there.
The situation: I am in the process of finding a new truck. I am a gas guy as anyone that has read my posts knows, but... With the 5th wheel I moved to a 1 ton truck. I found finding the one I have (took a...
It seems like the old school regular cab trucks are going out of style. I wanted something with an 8’ box that wasn’t like driving a limo. We ended up with a 2025 Chevy Silverado 3500 SRW Regular Cab.
Prior to that we had a crew cab 3500.
Currently we pull a 20’ Geo Pro with it and backing into...
Hey Everyone, I am excited to be here and hope to share as much as I ask. I have been an Fifth-wheeler for 5 years and love it. It is just big (40'). I've damaged it more than once getting out of tight spots.
I hope to retire in 8.5 years. So I am planning my exit strategy. I am currently 51...
Greetings, again.
I have what SHOULD be a simple electrical wiring question re: 2018 303rls.
Does anyone know if the +12v from the truck to the trailer is wired directly to the coaches AC/DC power converter, or does it go directly to the batterie(s)?
I see this as a critical issue if ever...

There is a Truckcamper Rally at Roadrunner area of Quartzsite. I am heading out in an hour or so, This is organized by an online group. Estimated 400+ TC’s there.
This is less an announcement than an I will be there. I realize if you didn’’t know about it coming up, it is likely too late to...
Good Day All!
When towing my GD 5th wheel I need an idea of what I need to have in the bed of my 2500 longbed Ram to store some small items that need to be kept dry. Any ideas? Something that does not need installation would be ideal.
HI - hating this new search function, so sorry if this was asked and answered a thousand times before......
What's the best simple and not crazy expensive bed covers for GMC Sierra HD. Am looking mostly at the hard folding ones. Thanks!
Anyone have experience in utilizing the GMC 110 outlet for suppling power to the RV for battery charging.
I have. 2022 Montana 3231ck with solar flex and instead of installing a DC TO DC setup would like to use the trucks 110 outlet
When the truck headlights are off the camper lights (brake, directional) work perfectly....
When the truck headlights are in the on position, the tail lights go do dim and you can barely see them......
Thoughts?
Separate question.... Do the house batteries have ANYTHING to do with the camper...
I have a 2024 lance 825 on a 2024 F350 SRW. I do most of my camping in the Idaho Rockies right now. So far my truck has handled the forest roads fine. I take it slow when needed. The biggest annoyance is the sway, but I've been tweaking things to reduce it. I learned pretty quick to attach...
My wife and I are considering an upgrade to a fifth wheel from our 224BH travel trailer.
I'm partial to Ford and have an F150, but I know I'll need to upgrade to an F250 or F350 (single rear axle).
I've had people tell that I must get the 8ft bed pick-up if I get a fifth wheel.
I've had people...
Greetings All:
I’m wondering if any Escape owners have observed any damage to rooftop components, ie, solar panels, AC, exhaust fans, & awnings after running through an automated truck wash. Is such mechanical washing a viable option for Escape trailers?
Anyone have a 3/4 ton gas truck for sale? I am having a tough time finding a Red one. Always liked red trucks best, but would consider silver. Ideally, I would have 4 doors, red or silver(match trailer), 8 ft Aluminum Service bed so I can haul a motorcycle, 4x4 gas powered. I really like this CM...
With prices on trucks, both new and used, having gone through the roof over the past few years, I'm finding it difficult to justify the cost anymore. I've always done some rough calculations on the average cost per night to camp and compare it to a traditional vacation cost in a hotel or short...
Hi All,
We are in the midst of a sad adventure. On Jan. 1, our truck was stolen from a hotel parking lot near Louisville Kentucky. Headed to Kansas from Virginia for a 2 week bird hunt after having a great time out there around thanksgiving. Had winterized our camper and decided to use an air...
Hey y'all. I bought my truck used almost 7 years ago and I neglected to properly take care of my tires (never rotated them or even inspected them). No surprise one finally blew out, but I wanted to know if anyone here has experience changing these kind of tires?
