Can you install a cat genie in a fifth wheel?, the fifth wheel is a 2015 flagstaff, and is stationary until new house is built

Just needs an accessible spot, a water connection, an electrical connection and a means of tying into a drain line to waste tank.

Are you asking about a Caterpillar generator? If so it probably wouldn't fit in the front compartment but no reason you couldn't put it beside the RV on it's own slab. If you are not talking generator then I have no idea what a cat genie is.

Assuming the new house is going to be electrified...why not run the power and branch a temporary service panel for the RV? done all the time with temp construction office trailers during work and many times can utilize the incoming service line(s) you need anyway...far less costly though scheduling needs adjustment to make it work for temporary service ...just a thought if its possible in your case

Boy now I am confused. What does cat poop have to do with a 5th wheel that being lived in while a house is built. I'll just never understand these things.

It is NOT self contained per se


Needs installation....water supply hook up, electrical power hook up, connection to 'sewer' (line to waste tank) and a convenient spot for it.


5th wheel, TT, MH, TC etc has no real bearing on it's use.

Used to maintain these a while back....serious power.

The suggestion to run a construction electrical drop would be best if power lines are near your build.
