Driving with a 5th Wheel - Tips from a Professional #rvlife #rvliving #camping #glamping #travel

Great vid. Very much appreciate your making this. About to pick up my new 43 foot 5th wheel. Been pouring over all the tips and tricks vids I can find. Yours seems pretty much exactly the situation I’m in now. Greener than green. You were lucky to have that dealer / tutor. My dealer hasn’t been much help on anything as of yet. I get a sense they’ll just hook me up and send me on my way. I’m going to check if there are actual local tutors or ‘trainers’. Luckily my brother is an OTR trucker and he’s gonna help train me up from his perspective.

This man owns the highway if you happen to drive by him.

2.25 years old but a great bit to watch - thank you!

Thats why I buy a Cummins. Its made for Towing and towing is its life

Great lessons!

Ken Rife's advice and instructions on properly driving on the road was fantastic. I learned some great tips from watching this video. I have saved this video to review again, and again if I need to. Thanks!

Great vid!!!

Thanks!

Great video, thank you!

👍

You can make aure brakes are working with a tug test makes sure your hitch is latched and brakes are working in one test

This was extremely educational! Thank yah🤗

Thanks so much. I'm experienced bumper hitch but going big fifth wheel Friday. All new to me truck and rig. I know it's setup right as my late father in law wasexcellent at this stuff just never had a chance to learn from him. This video addressed a lot of my concerns. Wish me luck. Thanks again.

That was helpful. I didn’t realize the trailer didn’t track in the same tire print as the trucks rear wheels..

Thank you 🙏

Great video full of important information! Thanks for sharing.

"Don't mix paint." "If you push the issue... you will be greezy side up." Words of wisdom.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have always said it’s really scary that literally anyone can go buy any size camper and the camper place will sell it to you, hook it up to your tow vehicle, give you a tutorial on the basics and send you off. Now the scary thing that there is no extra training, you are just sent off on your way.

You are absolutely right about Ken Rife as well as the entire family and crew at RV's for Less. They run a top notch business there in knoxville. We've been carrying our Mobile Suites there for several years now and I've lost track of the number of times they have gone above and beyond to help us out.

Growing up my family had a 36ft travel trailer and my dad pulled it with a f350 long bed. In other words, our rig was the longest thing in the campground. LOL Now that I have my own family of 5, we want to get a fifth wheel. This was a very informative video. Thank you

You were fortunate to have a dealer give you some instructions. I didn't get any and I didn't hookup correctly when leaving after 2 nights on maiden trip. Oops, the pin was not in the receiver and locked in. Tail gate totaled and $3800.00 damage to front cap of 5th wheel,

Thanks for posting. Those tires off the road and the trailer flipping over are hard to watch! I pulled my new fifth wheel home from the sale and backed it up on the blind side into a spot alongside a garage. Felt confidant about that. Still, I'm headed out again this week for the first long haul and got the jitters. Your post helps! Happy trails to you.

Thank you o much for making this! We’re becoming a full time family and we’re picking up our 43 foot fifth wheel tomorrow. I’ve pulled a trailer a couple of times, but nothing to this scale and this video has helped me to feel at least a bit more confident.

wonderful video 🙌 well done

Hey Gary, glad to see you doing well. Looking forward to watching your adventures. Tuning in from Hughesville, MD - Robbie
