After having to reposition my fifth-wheel when discovering that I could not fully extend the slide without hitting the power pedestal, I made an indicator. I got a piece of 2-by-2-inch wood that is about 6 inches longer than the distance from the extended slide to the outside of the fifth-wheel’s tires, and I painted it red. Once I place the indicator on the ground between the pedestal and the campsite, I can tell just where to back my fifth-wheel into position. I drilled a couple of holes in the 2-by-2 so I can add landscape spikes to raise it, if needed, so it’s more visible when parking on grass.
