have somebody staying in an RV and propane too expensive. You think this would work for a 3 slide-out 5th wheel?

It depends, of course on the ambient temperature. Today, it's about 40 degrees F outside and this heater set on the lowest setting has increased the indoor temperature about 12 degrees. I'm running this in an approximate 30 foot RV with a slide out. When the outside temperature goes much below freezing, (32 degrees F), I use it in the bedroom with the accordion type door closed. At its highest setting, it will reach about 80 degrees in that room.

I use mine to keep a relatively Uninsulated mudroom at a decent temperature and with it on low. Just make sure you have it on its own power supply and not a power strip. It's a powerful little thing.

This summer we were camping at 8.500 feet elevation. I had installed a wave 6 heater in our 5th wheel trailer and it worked fine. We did not experience any problems with the heater. Obviously the higher the elevation, the less oxygen thus I am sure in some way the heater could be affected. I would think that would be true for "any" heater! Good luck with your heater, they are worth the money spent in my option.

Yes, it works. But you have to find an accessible part of the chassis to place it. That was quite hard with our fifth wheel rig, because of all the plumbing and various other items on the bottom of the rig near the front and rear.

This item screws into any 20,30,40 Lb portable Propane tank--I have all (3) & it works fine.PS always check for leaks with (Soap & water) watch for bubbles.Hoses are available to adapt any Gas appliance to this "Tree" Richie.

It's actually "D" Load Range, but that was ok with my particular application. I haul a 2008 Jayco Baja Popup Off Road Camper with the one cargo platform. I 4x4 up a River Wash with large rocks and have never had a problem. Not sure how it would apply to hauling a 5th wheel trailer....

Hi and I do not have first hand experience to answer your question but you can ask them directly @ http://luxebidet.com/contacts. You might also scan the reviews on Amazon as some folks mentioned RV use (ie special fittings may be needed, etc).

I use it for travel trailer, but there is no reason it could not be used for fifth wheel. You just would need to determine where to place the camera part to see what you need to see to line up the trailer.

I'm installing mine in my travel trailer. This little drop-in has the same set up as my house range. It can be set up for a any propane tank.

The joist would be ideal but the roof has plywood under the rubber which has sufficient holding power for the lags. I mounted 2 panels on the roof of my 5th wheel that way and have not had any issues. Be sure to use the correct sealing material on the lags that will bond with your roof. (Not silicone)Your RV dealer will know what to use.

This has plenty of capacity for any 5th wheel because it's ONLY used to STABILIZE the front of the 5th Wheel. It is NOT designed to support the entire weight of the front of the 5th Wheel. That is what the front two supports are for. It works pretty well at that.

Hi, I would think not, due to the fact that usually the third axel is independent and usually has a electric or hydraulic left kit. I'm not a tractor trailer guy. My travel trailer tandem wheels are suspended/tied together so when you lift one of the wheels the other lifts too. I'd call a RV shop and ask the guys/gals there, they'd know.

You might want to check with the manufacturer, but most times there needs to be a modification kit to change from natural gas to propane. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I would think so. We bought it to pull our 28 foot camper that weighs ~5,000# dual axle. There also may be a # you can call directly.We actually you tubed this system before we bought it. So maybe try that too.Hope I was somewhat helpful.

I don't have a 5th wheel trailer, but I don't see why not. You have to wired to the truck bed since is originally for the list nice plate

Yes it will work for a 5 x 4.5 but it is not a precision fit so it will have some slop and the ability to move before the wheel is bolted down. The thickness is 3/16"

I use mine in my 5th wheel camper, easy to carry around and squat makes it not tilt. I use it with my Webber Q grill, just like any propane tank, should work with a catalytic heater.

Not directly. This unit makes it easy to connect an external propane tank to the RV. This pigtail looks just like the one on the firepit (it connects to a tank). The other hose goes from the RV tank to a threaded end that is the same as a 1 lb (disposable) propane tank. You could make it work if you purchased an adapter that adapts a 1lb tank to a refillable tank fitting ( Camco 59213 Female POL/ Male ACME X 1"-20 Male Propane Adapter).
