  • Can Denver Mattress be Stored in Frigid Temperatures?
  • There was no specific temperature that I could find in my research that indicated the Denver Mattress Rest Easy RV Mattress # DE89ZR would be unable to be stored in the cold that occurs in a place such as Wyoming. The mattress is going to get hard as a rock during this time however and simply to keep it in the best condition possible I recommend taking it out of your RV and storing it inside if at all possible just to be safe.

  • Is It Necessary to See Vent Hinge on RV to Determine Correct Replacement Vent Lid
  • Good question, and the answer is you do have to physically look at the hinge of your RV's vent in order to know the cover you need. There is no way to know any specific trailer parts based just off of the year, make and model of trailer. If you refer to the accompanying photo I added, you can see that there are four types of hinges: A continuous hinge such as the Ventline # BVD0449-A01, 4-point hinge such as the Replacement Lid for Jensen RV Roof Vent # CAM40154, and 3-point hinge such...

  • Weight of 2 inch Curt RV Bumper Trailer Hitch Receiver and Securing It With Bike Rack
  • I checked with the manufacturer for you and the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 weighs 12 lbs. This hitch fits 4" x 4" square bumpers and while there is technically not a built-in security measure to keep someone from taking the hitch, it does get torqued down tightly to your bumper as you can see in the linked instructions, so it would be quite a bit of work to take it. Additionally, if you were using a bike rack such as the Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike RV Rack # TH9057 or...

  • Fifth Wheel King Pin Weight and Truck Payload Capacity
  • The hitch pin weight of 1400 lbs you stated is so close to your payload capacity, but that is not accounting for the 5th wheel hitch and rail weights or the loaded weight with cargo added. Tunda's are notorious for having a lower payload and in this case, I can't tell you it will be fine. The payload weight is spread out over the truck bed where the 5th wheel rails are mounted to the frame directly so are more secure. Unfortunately manufacturers don't test for the 5th Wheel Hitch weight...
