Featured Sponsor - Fifth Wheel Street

The Fifth Wheel Street (FWS) website was created in April 2011 and is the brainchild of RV owner, Dave Gray, who saw a need that was not being satisfactorily met for those towing 5th wheels, gooseneck, and conventional trailers. FWS is the one-stop self-help RV safety information resource for novice and experienced RVers. FWS provides tow ratings, vehicle tow rating reviews, tire load charts, towing guides, RV safety articles and videos, web-based apps, and smartphone apps. Over the past six years, Gray has published over 240 web pages and documents to aid the RV owner with all kinds of valuable RV safety information. FWS is located at FifthWheelStreet.com.

RV Tow Check
Gray's most used product, RV Tow Check, is a "Before you Buy an RV" app that is SAE J2807 compliant and it is designed for RV owners and dealers. RV Tow Check requires a minimum of four inputs and has two optional inputs. RV Tow Check uniquely provides realistic vehicle towing capacity for fifth wheel and conventional trailers simultaneously. RV Tow Check is available for smartphones. Learn more about RV Tow Check.

FWS RV Weight Safety Report
Gray's second-most used product is the RV Weight Safety Report, and it is the premier self-help RV safety app that provides the industry-leading 13-point weight safety report for fifth wheel or gooseneck trailers. The RV Weight Safety Report simplifies the tasks involved in weighing your tow vehicle and trailer with step-by-step instructions. The app is designed especially for fifth wheel or gooseneck trailer owners. The final report details 13 weighing points including 7 points indicating the safety margin or overload conditions by displaying red or green numbers. Learn more about the RV Weight Safety Report.

Truck Camper Load Check App
The Truck Camper Load Check (TCLC) app is expressly designed to assist truck owners or buyers with the safe selection of a truck camper for their truck. The TCLC app is a unique web-based app functional on most mobile devices. The app is simple to use and provides a viewable and printable worksheet and instructions. Buyers all too often learned too late, when the camper was lowered into the truck bed for the first time, that the rear springs flattened unsafely to the axle with the front end sticking way up into the air. Truck camper buyers can buy a camper with confidence when the use the TCLC app. This app is free and accessible at tcLoadCheck.com.

Featured Sponsor - BCM - Bus Conversion Magazine

If you have driven on the open road you have seen them. If you frequently go to auto races, concerts, campgrounds, or almost any type of large public event; you’ve seen them. Families vacation and take weekend trips in them. Retirees travel and sometimes live in them. Musicians and other celebrities work out of them. They are called Bus Conversions and they are what our magazine is about. We understand these great machines and the people who own them. We get them and many of them get our magazine. 

We are celebrating our 25th year of monthly publication and continue to be the go-to resource for RV bus conversion enthusiasts – a.k.a. Bus Nuts.  Each monthly issue has a cover/centerfold feature article showing off someone's converted coach including floor plans, photos, unique features, and the people & story behind it. Plus, each issue includes detailed “how-to” articles on a wide range of bus conversion topics, from a complete tear-out/rebuild of buses to remodeling and updating projects, as well as peoples’ experiences traveling in a bus conversion. There are also articles on the safe use and maintenance of buses as well as tips for buying, selling, and selecting a bus for converting into a RV motorhome. Plus travel features sharing information and photos of great recreational travel destinations that are motorcoach friendly. Also, BCM has a classified section featuring conversion shells, professionally converted coaches, owner converted coaches, seated buses, and bus parts including engines & transmission.

The magazine is published in print and digital formats. The print edition is produced on high quality paper and features full color on all pages. Most readers save the magazines long term to refer back to parts of it and/or share it with friends. The digital editions are available to subscribers to view or download online in standard or hi-def. They contain 30 or more pages of additional content – mostly extra photos from articles, and on occasion include video content.

We also maintain a high traffic website. A vital part of the site is a very active online discussion forum where Bus Nuts of all experience levels share their experience and ask for advice from other conversion owners. You can access the forum here, where bus nuts of all experience levels discuss it all.

RVwithME: List Your Space - Featured Sponsor

RVwithME: List Your Space

Camping and RV’ing revamped!

Do you have free space on your property, in your RV Park, or in your campground? RVwithMe is a website that allows people of all kinds to have a central place to book a spot to stay. The whole purpose is to eliminate travelers going from site to site trying to find a place to camp or RV. They can simply visit the site and search an area. The search will generate all available locations within that area. Maybe there is an upcoming event in your area, or maybe you live close to a highway. Why not list what you have and let people come to you?

As a Lister, you can list room on your farmer’s field, your back yard, parking lot, etc. If you own an RV park or camp ground you can list all your spaces, or maybe a particular section of spaces. This makes it easier for potential travelers to book and stay at your location. 

We want to create unity. We want people to be able to stay in wonderful places. We want road warriors to have somewhere to turn to if they need somewhere to park overnight.

It is entirely free to list your space. All you do is create a profile, pick your price and list your space. Then you sit back and leave the rest to us. You will be notified when someone is ready to book. Visit www.rvwithme.com for more information or to get listing!
