Here is our new 5th wheel. It's a 2017 Alpine 3401RS. Going to put some air bags on the truck this weekend to help with the sag in the back.......

Nice looking rig. Just a small sag, a set of airbags and you should be good to go.

Airbags are the way to go. I use them and it does make a big difference.

I like the black dually wheels, did you have them refinished? Clearcoat is starting to peel on mine in spots. Would like to get them refinished.

I painted them tuxedo black like the rest of the truck. The grill surround, mirror caps and Platinum lettering were all painted at the same time as the wheels. I like chrome on a white truck but this black one was a bit much for me so I toned it down a bit.

I live in the trailer all summer with the wife and 2 boys and 2 bulldogs. The extra 5' in length is a huge difference. The full sized fridge is a huge bonus too!

I'm just curious, is your truck a 250? I'm looking at an Alpine w/2500# of pin box weight....
