5th Wheel Hitch latch

I hope this makes sense.....the area of my 5th wheel hitch where you have to take that piece and latch it closed is getting rusty and hard to latch...is it ok to put WD40 or some other lubricant on there so it will be easier to latch down and paddlelock? I had heard never to grease anything for fear...

I know what ya mean about "getting wet"! That is why I am worried about getting it covered...it has been out without anything overhead since June.....I may have to bite the bullet and put her in the storage unit....all nice and toasty and warm! :(

I dont have the room for a metal carport...sure wish I did....glad to hear that they make covers for such height and slant....Even if it lasts only 2 seasons at $400 a cover, I figure that is alot cheaper than the storage unit. Ofcourse that storage unit would completely protect it but that is alot ...

Craig, I interpreted that to mean that he caucked the seams, etc. The Cardinal has such height and an pitched roof that I just didnt know if there was a maker of a cover for that type of roof. Judi

I was looking at the ADCO online...but I am worried of the height of the Cardinal....the covers online look to me like they are for roofs without any slant....I wouldnt mind covering the redbird to keep it out of the weather...I have to agree that a $350 cover opposed to storage unit for $175/month ...

Cardinal Cover

I need so input if any of you members out there cover your Cardinal? And if so, does Forest River make a specific cover for the Cardinal? I want to keep ours looking nice, so the only choices are to cover it or rent a storage unit for $175/month. Thank you...

If you order the Glide-Ride, is it easy to install or should we go back to the dealer where we bought the Cardinal to have them install it?

Just got the Red Bird back from being at the dealers for minor repairs. I think I need just a little more clarification on this tow-haul mode. We were going to push in the tow-haul button, but on the side of it it had a big D with a / thru the D indicating do not use this tow-haul button when the tr...
