Hello all
New member today, but been following this forum and a few other for a few years now.


We traded our Jayco travel trailer in for a new Cougar 24RDS 5th wheel.
Looking forward to the start of a new camping season with the new 5th wheel.

Welcome. Seeing your location reminded me of when I transported RVs back in 2015. Had a big storm that year, when I was in my way to IN to pick one up. Roads were getting bad so I decided to stop in Rolla, MO. Hadn’t been in my hotel room for more than 5 mins, heard all kinds of commotion and sirens. Walked out and looked at the highway, something like a 70 car pileup and a tractor trailer on fire.

Hello there!
Congratulations! We've got the same model and really like it. I'm still modifying and learning about this unit.
What options did you get? Got any modification plans/ideas?
Looking forward to your experiences.

Welcome aboard!
I wouldn't spend a lot of time or $$ attempting to fix those tank sensors, typically they never provide any useful accurate information even if they do work.

Thanks all for the Welcome.

Can't wait to get this new rig out, if only to get the "kinks" worked out.

Thanks wrvond.
We have been looking at this model for a couple of years, and finally got lucky to find one at a somewhat local dealer (NOT Camping World - LOL)


For options on ours:
12v compressor fridge
Theatre seating
SolarFlex 400i package


Haven't done any mods yet, other than just getting things set up and learning where everything is.
Still waiting to get it out for the first time.


As with all trailers, once you get out in it and start using it, is when you find what needs to be done.
