Support the slides?
We're looking to place a support under our living room slide. It's not sagging but since we'll be stationary, we'd like to put some type of support under the slide to prevent sagging and perhaps make it more stable in the very heavy winds we get here.
Does anyone have suggestions what to use?
Thanks

RE: Water tank has a drain?
Thanks. The water fill where I insert the hose does have the usual hole next to it to allow air, and water comes out when it sometimes sputters.
This tube hanging under the tank is different. As you can see in the picture, I bent it to stop the water from draining out. Since it has thread (3/4 inch thickness where the thread is), I assume the cap is missing. I just bought it used and, even though we tested everything, I think the owner winterized it and drained the water, but forgot to put the cap back on ...

Water tank has a drain?
We just filled up our water tank for the first time. A small stream of water is coming out of a small hose underneath however.
I assume this hose is for draining the RV for winterizing.

Does anyone know how to stop this? We're going to use the fifth wheel so don't want the water to drain. For now, I bent the hose so it stops draining the water.
Does this hose need a cap? Perhaps a switch somewhere?
Thanks!

RE: We just bought a fifth wheel! Several questions ...
Thanks!
We won't have access to shore power. The house will be off grid and run on solar.
I'm thinking one or two batteries in the RV to charge with Renogy. I can monitor and add panels if needed.
We are thinking about getting a Jackery with solar panel separately to place in the living area to charge our phones and laptop.
Heating will be catalytic so no RV battery needed. Or perhaps a diesel heater once I can get around to taking on that project.

We just bought a fifth wheel! Several questions ...
We just bought a used 2009 fifth wheel to put on our land and live in while we build. The one thing that doesn't work on the fifth wheel is the battery so the first thing to do is to replace that.
Before we start buying stuff for the fifth wheel, we have a few questions that hopefully someone can help us with.
1) Since there is plenty of room in the battery storage compartment, we can pretty much fit whichever battery group size. Does the group size matter? In our old Casita trailer, we only had very limited room for 1 battery so of course we had to buy the correct group size. How does this apply to the fifth wheel?
2) The fifth wheel only as one battery (which is dead). We'd like to put at least two or three 12V AGM batteries. I assume we can connect the RV to one of these three, and connect the batteries in parallel (positive to positive, negative to negative) to keep the batteries 12V?
3) We're going to hook up a Renogy solar panel (with built-in controller). Do we simply connect the solar panel to one of these three 12V batteries?
Thanks!!
