Expert Answers about Forest River Wildcat Fifth Wheel


  • Will the Go Power 90 Watt Portable Solar System Power a Residential Refrigerator
  • I do have an option for you but the main variable here is going to be the exact power requirements for the refrigerator. If this is indeed a residential size refrigerator then this would not be practical to run off a small solar panel and battery bank. In order to power a residential size refrigerator you would most likely need around six 6v batteries and a 600+ watt solar system. If you have no other means of charging you batteries then you would be much better off downsizing your refrigerator...

  • Determining Which Rebuild Kit Is Correct For Landing Gear On 2010 Forest River Wildcat 5th Wheel
  • It may very well be possible to rebuild the landing gear on your 2010 Forest River Wildcat 5th wheel with a rebuild kit, but first you will need to identify which model landing gear is installed. On either of the landing gear legs there should be a part number, this may be on a white sticker or stamped into the metal depending on the specific landing gear. With this part number I can then identify your landing gear and recommend the correct rebuild kit. If there is not any part numbers...

  • Upgrading Stock Landing Gear on 2008 Forest River Wildcat 5th Wheel for Leveling
  • The Reese Electric 5th Wheel Landing Gear Set # RP500708 has a combined lift capacity of 8,000 pounds for both jacks. This will be enough for your 2008 Forest River Wildcat 5th Wheel. You will be able to control each lifting leg individually to assist with leveling the front of your camper.

  • Recommended RV Panel to Upgrade from 30 Amp to 50 Amp Service
  • It's pretty easy to pick out a new panel for a higher rated service, you just need to make sure you get the charge converter size correct. I recommend going with the same size that came with the trailer or was integrated into your old panel since this has more to do with load rather than the supply. That said, if you intend to upgrade your appliances you can go with a higher rated option. The Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center part # PD4560K18LS8 is a good option for a 50 amp...

  • Which Over Under Kit Fits Dexter 6k Trailer Axles
  • A 6k Dexter axle like what you have has a 3 inch diameter so the Over Under kit part # K71-385-00 that you referenced is correct and would work. You would need to order a quantity of two of these since it is a tandem axle trailer.

  • Goose Box for 2019 Forest River Wildcat with LCI Number 4359673
  • I sent the picture and info you sent us to Lippert to confirm what pin box you have and they told me it was a Lippert 1621 so the Goose box part # RP85FR that you referenced would be exactly what you'd need. I was also able to confirm that your chassis has a 15.5k capacity so the 20k capacity of this would work well.

The extra brackets can be discarded.

  • Options To Increase The Height Of A 2016 Forest River Wildcat Maxx 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX essentially just stacks onto your current hangers to lift your trailer by 1-1/4" or 2-1/4". If you're looking for something that will give you more then there are a few other options available. Option 1: Cut off your current hangers and have longer ones welded on. This would increase the height based on the increased hanger length. Option 2: If your axles are above your leaf springs you can use an Over-Under Kit like # K71-385-00...
