The Intelligent Fifth Wheel
INTRODUCTION
When our design team was creating Sanibel, we had a big advantage. This advantage is called EXPERIENCE! Fortunately for Prime Time, several members of our management team have been directly involved over the years with several of the best selling, most popular fifth wheels in the industry. Brands that every experienced RV’er is familiar with. We were keenly aware of the pros, cons, weaknesses, and strengths of these brands. We knew how they were built and how they were used. These key Prime Time employees are fifth wheel experts! However, we wanted to build a BETTER fifth wheel than what was currently available, so we talked to owners of these brands in the campgrounds, at rallies, and on the phone. We asked them how to
improve on their units. We asked them what they liked and didn’t like about their unit. We researched numerous owner forums looking for comments both good and bad. We brought competitors’ units to our facilities to make sure we avoided what was wrong and implemented what was right. Basically, we started from scratch with our thinking.
Combining Prime Time’s vast experience with our efforts at collecting owner feedback helped us create Sanibel ‐ a much smarter fifth wheel – a much better fifth wheel – THE INTELLIGENT FIFTH WHEEL!
This training manual will show you many of the details, features, and benefits of Sanibel. We think it’s the smartest fifth wheel ever built.

Feature – Native American Cherry Hardwood Doors and Drawers
Sanibel’s real cherry cabinets are beautiful and elegant – just like a home. Yet, cherry is a very hard wood that will resist the “dents and dings” that are common with softer wood species and it will easily withstand the rigors of typical RV use.
Feature – Tall Kitchen Overhead Cabinets That Are Easy To Reach
For maximum storage, Sanibel offers extremely tall kitchen overhead cabinets –
up to 28” tall! However, we’ve installed them at a residential height so they are easy to reach. For convenience, slide lips are installed on all cabinet shelves to keep items from bumping doors open during transit.
Feature – Oversized Kitchen Drawers
The galley drawers in a Sanibel are 30% to 50% bigger than many competitors’
drawers. With most extending out an amazing 18”, you can pack more of your important items in these 6” tall drawers.

ETERNABOND Feature –
5/8” One Piece Floor Decking
In order to provide long‐term strength and durability, the main floor of Sanibel is built using a 5/8” one‐piece layer of top decking. No popping seams and less potential for annoying squeaks.
ETERNABOND Feature –
Laminated, Aluminum Slide Out End Walls
Just like the end wall, the slide room is typically a place where manufacturer cut corners in construction – not Sanibel. The slide out end walls are made with the same aluminum, laminated construction.
ETERNABOND Feature –
Laminated, Aluminum Slide Roofs
Your slide out roof is one of the most critical areas of your RV so Sanibel goes the extra mile to assure your complete satisfaction and long term durability. These strong roofs are designed to support hundreds of pounds and can easily be walked on during periodic maintenance or to clean off debris.

Welded Construction
Unlike many of our competitors, Sanibel’s aluminum studs are welded ‐ NOT screwed together ‐ to provide long term strength and durability.
ETERNABOND Feature –
100% Glue Coverage on All Laminated Parts
Prime Time’s advanced glue applicator provides 100% glue coverage on every sheet of our plywood substrate. The glue is mixed with a special dye that glows “purple” under the fluorescent black light of the applicator that clearly indicates to our production team full coverage is being achieved.

EGS Backers in Walls and Floors
Sanibels are laminated with electro‐
galvanized sheet metal backer plates in the walls and floors to provide for strong, secure anchor points for cabinets and interior walls. This picture shows EGS backer above a window that will provide an anchor point for an overhead cabinet. “The Intelligent Fifth Wheel”

Double Insulation in Roof (R‐14)
Two layers of fiberglass insulation are carefully packed into the roof between the rafters to provide an initial rating of R‐14.
INTELLIGENT THERMAL PACKAGE
Radiant Shield Insulation In Roof (R‐38)
Before the roof decking is installed, a layer of Radiant Shield reflective insulation is stretched over the entire roof. This advanced material provides an additional insulation factor equivalent to R‐38.

INTELLIGENT THERMAL PACKAGE
3” Hi Density EPS Foam In Main Floor (R‐14)
Superior insulation properties are one of the main features of Sanibel’s 3” laminated main floor. Using a high density EPS foam in the lamination process yields an initial R‐14 rating.
INTELLIGENT THERMAL PACKAGE
Radiant Shield Insulation Under
Main Floor (R‐38)
The laminated main floor of the Sanibel is wrapped on the bottom side with a layer of Radiant Shield Insulation before it is secured on top of the chassis. This advanced material provides an additional insulation factor equivalent to R‐38.

INTELLIGENT THERMAL PACKAGE
Electric Holding Tank Heat Pads
To prevent the contents of your holding tanks from freezing, Sanibel uses 12 Volt heating pads. This is a far superior application than using forced air from the furnace and you can heat your tanks during transit.
INTELLIGENT THERMAL PACKAGE
Enclosed And Heated Water Lines
Unless you are going to wrap your galley water lines with heat tape, there’s very little you can do to prevent them from freezing in cold weather – UNTIL NOW! Sanibel runs it’s galley water lines in an aluminum tube adjacent to the heat duct. They are completely heated and protected from the cold exterior temperatures.
