I received excellent service recently when I emailed Westar Truck Centre for a cabin lens for my Isuzu Elf.

I am considering getting a Fifth wheeler made for us, and have been putting thought to the additions that can/should be installed. I was thinking on putting a high reliance on solar power, rather than using the portable generator. My question is this, solar panels hard mounted on the roof, do they rea...

How many of you out there have fifth wheelers and how are you enjoying the experience?
