RV LIVING MADE EASY! How To Set Up a Fifth Wheel in 8 Minutes!

No safety chains?

I known it's been many moons ago and you've probably moved on from the Companion slider. But how do you or did you like it? And would you recommend??

It's almost always better to ask for stuff than it is to ask for money off. The dealer usually looks at their cost of doing something when they are throwing it in, not the retail price. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

We have a check list, we use it every time.

What size wheels/ tires are on your truck and does it rub?

When do you put the blocks under the leveling jacks?

This "tutorial" was very well done. Now I can see why when you are able to leave the campground at checkout time you are so pleased. That is a lot to remember and you did a great job of telling us, step-by-step.

I wish I had auto level 😩

We have watched this video several times.
How often have you used the slide on the hitch?

Did your truck come with the 7 pin connector in the bed?

A slider hitch with a 5th wheel is wel worth the additional expense. It allows us to jackknife our 5ver and turn around in about 35’ of space. A capability that allows us to go down a dead end and still turn around (perfect for our favorite beach destination where bumper pulls don’t generally go because it’s a 1/4 mile if backing with a bumper pull.

👍🇺🇲

Have you thought about a Reece gooseneck to get more bed space

Hey I’m new to the rv live just started a few weeks ago and bought a huge 30 ft fifth wheel trailer . What type of truck would I need to move it would a f150 and fifth wheel hitch work or would I need a f250 and fifth wheel hitch?

What kind of. Truck you have.

I just started my new RV life about 6 weeks ago, and I've been watching your awesome and helpful videos since last year. Thank you for sharing your RV life experience with us, since newbies definitely need this! I just wish I would have seen this video before I bought my hitch, since I do not like it. But I am traveling for a while, so cannot replace it yet. Oh well, RV life must go on!😅😂

Thanks for this!! I have back leveling Jack's as well...should I keep those down as well when unhitching? I'm a newbie

Don't know if this has been asked before. I think I have similar truck chevy 2500hd high country. 6ft 9 bed. Companion slider hitch. With a new primetime crusader 395bhl 42 ft camper. I had it delivered to my house. I am trying to figure the height and front to back setting for the hitch. Would yours be the same or any suggestions?. On settings. Also how much do you use the slider portion of the hitch. When I saw you back into the wilderness campsite at Disney. Didn't look like you used it. Sorry for all the questions. New to towing something this big

Good idea to throw a handful of grease on that skid plate. Very informative video.

Do you have a video on using/engage the slider on your 5th wheel hitch?

Great video & great tips.

Please have advise on Dexter - where does he ride - in the 5er or in the truck? I found a good place for Dotty’s (cute Siamese pictures available on request) food water compact glitter box etc.

We have always left her home. But now retired we want to be out for longer trips and we want to bring her along.

But she remains skeptical advice very appreciated. How does Dexter take the RV life?

Dex man supervising from the door... lol

Just started watching you two and I love you already. Thanks for this, huge help for me to learn.

We are considering a fifth wheel for our next rig. I have a lifted F-350. Is your truck lifted? I have read that it is not recommended to tow a fifth wheel with a lifted truck. Thoughts?

Exhuast brake should only be used when heading down hill or coming to a hard stop along with your trailer brake but great video 👍🏼

Breakaway cable is supposed to be attached to tow vehicle,(tie down loops work well)it wont do any good if hitch becomes detached from bed along with trailer.🧙‍♂🧙‍♂

You guys rock!!!
Thank you for all this. 🙏🏼

Quick question. We have a brand new fifth wheel and the ball on the fifth wheel itself is Rusty what do you do? Also I want to thank you guys for what you do we appreciate you. Great information.

Great video! Do you have the B&W Companion with slider?

We got our first Rv 5th wheel this Spring. When does it get not scary?? We’re getting the hitching/unhitching down fairly well. But still feel really intimidated going down the road with that great big thing in my rear view mirror!!!!

Super great video! Wished we would have found you before!!
We got our first 5th wheel 2022 Keystone Sprinter 2 months ago. Dealer did a way too quick ‘how-to-do’ hook up. At home, we went through h3ll hitching/unhitching for the next 3 campouts with the Lippert auto level system. Divorce was close!! Then we discovered by accident, the full Lippert instructions on the inside door panel of the propane tanks storage!! We could have cried!! Why in the world didn’t the dealer just show us these instructions!!!! How we missed seeing it is probably because we’re such newbies. You know, that deer in the headlights look!
Please spread the word the Lippert instructions decal is there! Sooooooo much easier. And we’re still married.

Hanks! What an awesome tutorial on hooking and unhooking to the fifth wheel🙌🏼 thanks so much.

The bw slider same as you got, they wanted 2600 for it. With installation

Great video!

We chose to go with a class C, so fifth wheel hitch instructions don't apply to us. Plus I already knew the info, but I stuck around to give a view, like and comment for support with the algorithm. Safe travels :)

Breakaway cable should be attached to the truck not the handle on the hitch

Thank you. Finally got the RV. Now the long wait for the Truck. End of September 2022.

Can we see you guys backup the trailer as a couple?

Hi guys, Great videos. I saw a video where you described an APP for RV life for about 59.00 and you gave a code from both of you for % off. I can't find that video or reference to save my life. Help. Thanks

Hi guys! Love your channel! What truck do you use to tow your rig?

Hey guys, did you put a lift on your truck, or is that standard? thnx

Thank you for the video.
On piece of information, the break-away must not be attached to hitch; if the hitch breaks, cable flys away with the hitch assembly.
Cable needs to be attached to truck on cargo tie-down with C-hasp or aftermarket eyelet.
Keep up the good work. Hope to see you in Tampa RV Show.

Can I have a ram 2019 1500 to pull a 5thwheel?

Love u guys!!!

MAJOR Dex Man photo bomb!!! 💙🤣🍻

Have I mentioned lately how much I love your awesome videos?! 🥰👍 Thanks again for all the deets!! Happy Holidays Happily Ever Hanks!!

Just picked up my 5w last Thursday and I sure wish I’d found this video on Sunday when I was pulling out of the dealership campground on my own for the first time!! They hadn’t gone over the process fully and I was sweating bullets guessing at the steps and what to do. Thankfully made it to the campground 45 miles away safely but stress level was thru the roof. Just took 2 pages of notes so I don’t go through that experience again!! Thank you!!
