    Lighting my oven in a 5.0 TA

    Hello, I’m in a 2014 5.0 and I haven’t used my oven since I started living in it full time. My daughter tried lighting the pilot but it didn’t work. Can anyone give me troubleshooting advice. Thank you.

    Smoke detector

    Thank you all, so much! I got a kiddie because they didn’t have first alert at Home Depot where I was. Blessings. And have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎆

    Smoke detector

    Hi, I need a smoke detector for my 2014 Escape 5.0. Does anyone know what model I should get and where I should buy it besides Amazon? Also, should I get the combination smoke detector/CO detector, or is just a smoke detector enough.

    Shower overflowing with water

    I caused the problem Hi, thank you community for the answers. I just got back to my RV community and saw what I did. I was trying to quickly organize my bathroom and I put my wooden back scrubber brush behind the flusher and it was slightly pulled forward when I took it out from back there. So...

    Shower overflowing with water

    Thank you! I do think there is a connection that is goldish in color on the faucet where my water hose connects to the trailer. I’ll look for leaks, too.

    Gate valve replacement

    Replacing it was a 3” gate valve and my daughter was able to do it fairly easily. Thank you.

    Shower overflowing with water

    I came home after being gone for almost 48 hours today and my shower was overflowing with water. No water was left on, but the gray tank was full. I recently had Escape put a new AC on my 2014 5.0TA. Does anyone know if I was supposed to do something to make sure it is draining properly?

    Bike Rack for 4 Bikes

    Would you recommend a max haul 5025 hitch mount 2 for just storing my bike with a lock on the hitch of my 5.0TA?

    Gate valve replacement

    Hi, there’s a small leak at my gate valve so I bought another one to replace it. Looks pretty simple. The only question I have is has anyone replaced theirs before because I bought the standard 3” and I thought Escape said the one on my 5.0TA is a 3.5”. Thank you.

    Kuat NV 2.0 Bike 2" Receiver Rack and Spare Tire Clearance

    Does anyone know what the dimensions on the bike rack holder piece on the back of the 5th wheel is? And I’m seeing a conversation about bouncing around. My truck has a pin weight of 1351. I’ll be traveling a long distance with 3 mountain passes.

    Bellingham, Wa. to Austin, Tx

    Not a vacation Thank you. I need quickest and safest route. We are inexperienced women and I know there are several passes the shortest route. We were planning on driving 400 miles a day and sleep which we’re hoping takes us 5.5 days. Not too found of the coast either for the extra day...

    Bellingham, Wa. to Austin, Tx

    Thank you That was my brother’s recommendation. I wonder how many miles that would add on. How would you do it, if I may ask. Marjorie

    Bellingham, Wa. to Austin, Tx

    Hello, I’m looking for advice on driving to Austin from Bellingham, Wa. the first week of April (leaving the 3rd). I’m looking for the flattest route and will likely stay in free lots like Cracker Barrel or Walmart along the way. Thanks, Marjorie

    Custom Air Conditioning Retrofit

    Living in my 5th wheel I’m sorry. I failed to mention I’ll be living in my 5th wheel indefinitely. Moving to Texas to come help take care of my dad.

    Custom Air Conditioning Retrofit

    Why only 9500 I have a 5th wheel which is probably smaller than your trailer. It appears that you live in Texas where I’m going. It gets very hot. I’ve been told 13.5 is the best for that kind of heat. Your thoughts? Also; would it be better to just buy the Dometic to make my cousins job...

    Custom Air Conditioning Retrofit

    Installing an AC myself Hi, actually I won’t be the one installing an AC unit. It’ll be my cousin who has some electrical skill training, so I can wait until I arrive in Texas early April and don’t have to have the extra weight driving my 5th wheel there. Can anyone point me to installation...

    Need for adjustable air springs

    Oh my. I think someone told me before (might have been you, Alan) to change that and I forgot. Thank you for the reminder.

    Need for adjustable air springs

    Hello, does anyone think I need air springs which are a type of airbag to keep the truck and 5th wheel from sagging? I’m getting my hitch put on this Friday and because the truck is pretty high, I may be looking at adding the lift kit which is an additional expense, but the hitch I have does...

    2017 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn

    4 tires not 2 Hi Lyle, I do have a 2015, and I believe I have the double axle. And the bed rails on the Dodge Ram 1500 truck I’m hoping to buy are 56” not 58” as I thought. I took a picture but I don’t know how to attach it here. Thanks.

    Pullrite hitch for 5.5 foot beds

    Good point Great point you make Lorraine. I hadn’t thought about the fact that I’d have that 200 lb hitch in the bed all the time. Thank you! Marjorie

    PIN Weight — 1350 enough

    This is the response I got from the person I’m hoping to purchase the truck from (see below). I know he has an interest to sell his truck, but I feel like he’s being up front with me. Still I’m not competent enough to figure this out on my own. Is anyone towing with a truck with a cargo capacity...

    PIN Weight — 1350 enough

    Hi, I think I’m closing in on the deal, finally, and I’ll have my truck and be on my way. Just one question left, I think. The pin weight on the truck I’m purchasing is 1350 lbs. I’ll be pulling a 5.0TA. Does that seem like enough? I’ll be pulling my 5th wheel from Washington state to Austin...
