Hello Everyone,
Have been an avid camper for years and have finally stepped up to the 5er club. We recently bought a used 2006BH 3500RL. We absolutely love our "new" fifth wheel and are looking forward to doing some travelling. I do have a couple questions.....First, My 3500RL appears to still have original tires Mission 235/80/16 10 ply load range E. I am replacing them on Monday with new Goodyears same ply and load rating. Question is do wheel bearings typically have bearing buddies or do I have to repack. Leaving next Sunday on a 700 mile trip and have no idea on history of service. Both my previous Sprinters had them so I'm hoping. Second question, my FW does not appear to be draining properly. Turned the valves to draining position in UDC and doesn't appear to drain water out....Any suggestions? Looking forward to a long career in my BH.
Thanks,
