Expert Answers about Forest River Cedar Creek Fifth Wheel


  • Brakes With Factory Brake Controller Does Not Engage
  • When you hear the buzzing sound when the brakes are applied, that sound is power going back to the brakes, or at least part of the way, let's get this issue corrected. Since you have a factory brake controller, first we need to make sure that both the 7-Way on your tow vehicle and your trailer are fully functioning. Start off by looking for any corrosion build-up that could be causing the issue on both 7-ways and clean it. Next, test the functions of the 7-Way on your tow vehicle you...

  • Replacement Landing Gear Legs for Venture Landing Gear
  • Thanks for the pictures. You won't need to replace the entire landing gear set. For your Venture landing gear on your 2002 Forest River Cedar Creek Fifth Wheel you will want item # LC119102 for the lead leg or item # LC119101 for the follow leg. The Replacement Gearbox for Venture Aluminum Electric 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Assemblies item # LC276602 you were looking at is the correct gear box.

  • Are There Height Adjustment Kits Available For Kwikee SuperSlide RV Slide Out Storage Trays
  • The Kwikee SuperSlide systems, like part # LC370774, do not have a lift kit available so you would need to build one yourself out of wood in order to clear the 3" lip for your compartment door. You might be able to use the Height Adjustment Kit for MORryde RV Cargo Sliding Trays # MR34VR, but would most likely need to drill holes into the tray track in order to mount it on the kit since it was intended for use with MORryde trays.

  • Should Trailer Tires be Inflated When they are Hot After Driving or Cold Before
  • With trailer tires you want to inflate them to the max psi listed on the sidewall before driving warms them up. So whatever the ambient temperature is outside basically. You do not need to calculate pressure differences based on the temperature. Once the temps increase and the pressure slightly increases you'll be fine as that's how the tire is designed.

  • Does Reese Goose Box 5th Wheel Coupler Increase Turning Clearance
  • The Reese Goose Box 5th wheel trailer coupler # RP85FR and similar models do not add turning clearance to help short-bed trucks the way a Sidewinder 5th wheel pin box like # RP61412 does. You still want to check your turning clearance using the formula in the linked article on Sidewinders. The Goose Box # RP85FR is a direct bolt-on replacement for several standard Lippert 5th wheel OEM pin boxes, including the popular 1621.

  • Cedar Creek Hathaway 5th Wheel Suspension Enhancement Recommendation
  • The Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Medium-Duty Trailers # TTRA1032 that you referenced will give your trailer's suspension a noticeable amount of additional support. It will help level your trailer side to side as the additional support will reduce the sag on that side of the trailer. I'd recommend making sure that you have the correct rated leaf springs on your trailer and that they aren't worn out either.

  • What Causes Light Activation Delay on RV
  • Typically light activation delay is due to a bad switch or a loose connection in the wiring of the light circuit. It's not usually related to the wrong bulb being used. I'd first check the condition of the switch looking for any corrosion and then check the wiring.

  • How To Fix Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box Losing Pressure
  • There could be one of two places that you are loosing air from on your Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box.

  • Troubleshooting Brand New Trailer Brakes Performing Poorly
  • The 10V is the absolute minimum voltage you want to see at the brake magnets, so that's worth looking into. I'd make sure that the 7-way connector on the vehicle and the trailer are both in good condition, not damaged or corroded. Make sure the wiring from the trailer connector to the magnets is in good condition, with no loose connections, no cracked wire insulation. Make sure that the ground connections at each magnet are made to clean, bare metal. There are a few other possible causes...

  • Can Manual Adjust Brakes be Replaced with Self-Adjust Brakes on a Lippert 6,000 Lb Axle
  • Yes to both. In order to switch out the manual adjust braking assemblies for the self-adjust braking assemblies on your Lippert 6,000 lb axle you will need the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-7-SA. In order to replace the brake shoes on your existing brakes you will need to use the Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit for 12" Manual-Adjust Brake Assembly part # AKBRKR-S-12. I have attached review videos for you as well.

  • Solution for Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch that Progressively Allows More Chucking
  • The thump you are experiencing is known as "chucking" and it's caused basically by the excess movement that a hitch head allows between it and the king pin. Curt fifth wheel hitches are somewhat known for this and we've seen and heard of them getting worse with time. The best solution is a new hitch with tighter king pin to hitch head clearance like the Reese Select Plus part # RP30081 which uses a single hook design that holds the pin very tightly and will get rid of the chucking you are...

  • Should Grease Seal Fit Loosely on Spindle or Hub Bore
  • I'm assuming you're speaking of a bearing kit like # BK3-310 that includes a LM67048 outer bearing, a 25580 inner bearing and a GS-2125DL double lip seal. The seal fits a 3.376 hub bore and a spindle surface just a bit larger than 2.125 inches. The grease seal should fit very tightly in the hub bore and should not be loose. If it fits loosely on the spindle or in the hub bore, it will allow grease to escape the hub and allow moisture and dirt in. If you would reply with the inner bearing,...

  • Can You Order Multiple Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Locks With the Same Key
  • The Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Lock part # C48CR does not come with a keyed alike option so you'd only be able to receive multiple with the same key by chance. That said, we have plenty of other multi fit trailer coupler locks with keyed alike options such as the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock part # FA86-0015-316 which is what I recommend. It can be ordered keyed alike.

  • Tips for RV Slide Out that Won't Close
  • Here are some things you can try that normally help if RV slide outs won't close. Reset the power to the RV by unplugging it from shore power. Wait a few minutes and plug it back in. Check all fuses and breakers related to the slide outs. Try resetting all breakers even if they look good. Make sure your battery is in good shape. Reset the slide controller by unplugging and plugging it back in. My guess is this is the problem. A coworker of mine recently said he saw an RV on the road...

  • Recommended MORryde Cushioned Pin Box For A 2022 Forest River Cedar Creek 360RL 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The MORryde # MR24VR is designed for a 1621 bolt pattern so it would not be a compatible replacement. Since you have a Rhino bolt pattern and GVWR of 16,525lbs you would need the MORryde Cushioned 5th Wheel Pin Box for 14K to 18K Trailers w/ Lippert Rhino # MR83QR. The overall capacity of the pin box is 21,000lbs but the shear spring and glide pads are rated for a GVWR of 14k-18k, which would cover your 2022 Forest River Cedar Creek 360RL's GVWR. I've attached a short video below where...

  • Recommended Slide Topper for a 153-1/2" Slide Out
  • For your 153-1/2" slide out you will want the Solera RV Slide-Out Awning item # LCV000168109 for black or item # LCV000163300 for white. These toppers fit slide-outs that are 152" - 157" wide and up to 48" long. You will need at least 7" of clearance on both sides of your slide-out box. The awning fabric is 157" wide so you will need 7" on either side of that. The only reason you would get the 151" item # LCV000163299 is if you didn't have enough clearance on either side. I hope this...
