Last month we bought a use 98 Rockford Camper. We only took it out once and had problems. First of all. We bought it from a dealer…..They had it open when we went to pick it up….and showed us how to close it….But didn't show us how to open it. So when we got it home we opened it and it seems fine. We filled it and closed it and took it for our first trip. At the camp ground we had trouble….We got it up, but the door would not close…It scraped the top…We nocticed it was not up straight…We were on a flat site. My husband propped it up and the door did close. But we had a hard time, opening the door and it would not latch…It seems the lift is messed up, broke or something. Does any one know anything about how to repair these campers?

A pop up floor needs to be leveled with a carpenter's level, both front to back and side to side, before you raise the roof. It should still be level after you engage the rear support jacks. Level with the tongue jack, and possibly thin planks under one wheel. The rear supports are not meant for leveling. Trying to do that might twist, and even "spring" the frame.

Some units have levels mounted on the outside, but it's best to check the floor too.

And what is the difference between a fifth wheel and a gooseneck…and are there any other kinds out there to choose from? (aside from pop ups)

A Gooseneck Hitch is designed for use in a pickup truck similar to a Fifth Wheel.

The difference is that the Gooseneck uses a ball and coupler instead of a kingpin and pin receiver.

Typically, the trailers that are most commonly used for this type of Gooseneck Hitch is a horse or cattle trailer.

Can't park in driveway or on street. We travel as campers.
We need a parking spot for the trailer, not a place to camp.

To the south (about a ten minute drive from Piedmont, and right on the southern border of Oakland) is Anthony Chabot Regional Park. The park is quite large, and provides many different spots for camping AND trailer parking (it has both, though it is a park setting. If you were hoping for somewhere within the cities to park your trailer, Piedmont won't have anything. It's a tiny city of houses, a couple of schools, a bank, and a gas station. Lovely neighborhood, but it won't have for what you're looking).

From the East Bay Regional Park website:
"Overlooking the lake is Chabot Family Campground, a year-round getaway only minutes from the city (camping fee). The camp has 75 trailer, tent, or walk-in campsites, hot showers, naturalist-led campfire programs, an amphitheater, and hiking/fishing access to Lake Chabot. There are reservable youth group campsites within the park as well. For reservations, telephone (510) 562-2267, up to 12 weeks in advance." http://www.ebparks.org/parks/anchabot.htm

There are a few trailer parks in Oakland, but I don't know if you can leave your trailer there for a bit without intention of staying.
