This week we are taking the plunge into the deep end on a big new to us fifth wheel. Found a well used 2008 heartland big country, 3490 BHS. 35 foot bunkhouse model. It needs some interior work. Fixing trim and a massive cleaning. It was priced to sell quick. But needs lots of love. This will be my first 5th wheel. We will primarily have it in a single permanent spot for most of the summer on private land. Random camping style out by Drayton valley.
It's skirting on the limit of my truck. Over if it is loaded to max trailer rating. But we only plan to move it a couple times a year and never with full tanks. ram 2500 crew cab long box with Hemi.
My truck already has 7-pin in the box and pretty sure it has DSP rails.
But I am looking for advice, things to watch out for. How do people set their trailers up for long term random camping? The family isn't really fond of the idea of an outhouse. What do people do for "honey wagons".
Is the hitch tripod needed for long term?
