2024 Alliance Paradigm. First time fifth wheel owner. My bumper tow was pretty big though. What should I know that isn't immediately obvious?

No dealer getting any free publicity from you. No sir-eee. 😉

Check your water line fitting. Look for pex fitting with FLEX lines crimped to it. Not if, but when. Easy fix

myGSPhasADHD:

Grease/check the wheel bearings. Keep an eye on all tire pressure, also watching out for potential “china bomb” tires. Watch your weight, especially loaded with water (but that looks like an F350, so not as concerning with that truck). Maybe get or check to see if that truck has air bags in the rear suspension, so you don’t start blinding oncoming traffic since the trailer weight could raise your trucks front end. Look into getting a back up camera, you can also leave on while driving which acts like a rearview.

Just first things that come to mind for when I traded a class A in for a fifth wheel, you may already have or know these things.

Mark your calendar and check / replace your water heater anode annually.

May it give you many happy memories

NotaCultbutACult:

Looks good. Just wait for the clowns to tell you it’s too much weight. Fuck em. Nice looking rig. Airbags will make a huge difference. Enjoy.
